I'm kind of miserable. I hate this state and I hate that I feel like I don't have much of a choice about living here. I can't wait to go up to Oregon at the end of September but that's only five days. I need to move up there sooner, I really can't wait for Anton to get done. That will just take too much time. Six months isn't that bad, it's ( Read more... )

I just finished The Iron Wall about Israel's policy since its inception of creating an "iron wall" that will force Arab states around Israel to recognize that they ain't goin' away. And today I'm going to buy pants and a record player and groceries so I can quit eating solely rice and pasta. And then this evening I'm going to have a FAT record ( Read more... )

So another tumultuous summer has withered to its end. Honestly, I was kind of disappointed for a while but in retrospect it's all come out pretty swimmingly. I basically accomplished most of the things I wanted to, even if I didn't realize it until recently. I spent a seriously minimal amount of time in Fernley which is always good, I massively ( Read more... )

We are recording now and it's coming out pretty good even though we're recording at home. And Daks won't mix the bass loud enough but I'm probably only thinking that because I'm the bass player. It'll be really nice to have some proof of the music stuff I've done this year and it helps me actually feel like I'm in this band, even if it's not the ( Read more... )

Learning Russian is wicked awesome. You get to see where anthony burgess got a ton of the words from clockwork orange slang:
droog = друг (trust me on the pronunciation being similar), both meaning friend
horrorshow = хорошо , good
malenky = мальенкий, little
baboochka = бабушка, grandma
bolshy = большой, big
govorett = говорит, to speak

Have you ever had one of those strethces where it seems for way too many days in a row that everything is going wrong; you are just in a shitty mood and can't get your head on straight and you just feel like life is raping you in the ass for a while. And then out of nowhere you just wake up and everything goes right and it's awesome. Things that ( Read more... )

Of all the things I ever think about, there is one that I need to remember most that I always forget. Seriously dude, just rock the fucking posi.

What a seriously fucking awesome day. It started with Nikki coming over and illin' for about an hour, pretty sweet. And then it was lame until I went into Reno to kick it with callie. We bullshitted about myspace, then we called Vince and went over to his place with Kevin, Jeremiah, and Vince. Apparently Jeremiah needs to put a new tub in his ( Read more... )

I figured out what my problem has been lately. I haven't been listening to enough Against Me!. Against Me! is fucking transcendent, in the sense that when I listen to them I can transcend whatever I am feeling and just get wrapped in a comforting blanket of their music. Against Me! makes me so happy that they make me a little bit sad, but it's ( Read more... )
