As you enjoy your new year's revelry, remember that 2012 is only 48 months away, and that everyone you know and love will be DEAD. Unless you know and love John Cusack, I think he lives ( Read more... )

Merry Christmas, bitches! Sorry I didn't get anyone presents but...just reading this journal should be gift enough. Also, you know, I had $10,000 set aside for gifting purposes but someone raided that.

No bad tidings though! Hope everyone has some safe and happy holidays :)

So it's getting to be that time of the year, when I start compiling best-of lists for various punk 'zines that no one's ever heard of. I figured I'd post my list here as well. One of my favorite parts of this is reading other people's lists and finding new music, so I would encourage you to post your own as well. And yes, I know what you're saying ( Read more... )

The tour continues, as I play out the string that is 2009 (a year which finds me devoid of responsibility) the only way I know how: travel! LIFE IS HARD LOLZ.

So Thanksgiving has come and passed, and now we're onto the Christmas season, for better or for worse. Me? I enjoy the holidays (except for the music.)

I spent my weekend out in the Fort, as I've been wont to do lately. Must be a good reason for it...I had a magnificent if untraditional Thanksgiving with tekfox and llamaslug that began with lazed cleaning and ( Read more... )

My dog Sax died tonight. She was 17, and even though I hadn't been keeping her the past couple years because of work and travel...she was my girl. We rescued her when I was four, and so more than any other family pet...she was my girl. I'd figured she was on her last legs for the past couple years, but it had to happen right now, of all times. I'm ( Read more... )

So I'm not much for book learnin', but there's something to be said for street smarts, so,

Things I learned at MFF '09-If someone offer you floor meat, you eat it, because there's a good chance it's delicious ( Read more... )

I made tekfox lose his shit laughing during a workout not once, but twice tonight.

I am awesome, and no I will not use Twitter. That's all.

The scene: I'm helping a friend load up antiques in a U-Haul to take to an auction in Asheville today. We get ready to leave; I'm going to follow him. I find that I've lost the keys to my car, and figuring I must have pulled them out of my pocket and dropped them while reaching for my cell phone or something, I start looking around. 30 minutes ( Read more... )

Most people hate flying. I'll admit, the process of getting on board isn't all that pleasant. I do hate airports.

But I love flight.

Today was undoubtedly one of the hardest days of my life. But something about lifting up above a cover of clouds to break through into sunlight...to know that I can go anywhere, that complete sense of freedom, is ( Read more... )
