January 2009
Now in handy paperback form!
I went into the archives and deleted a whole lot of crappy junk. It looks much better now, particularly if you’re the one person who decided to read all 260 pages of my blog a month ago. For the sake of honesty, deleted items include:
birthday wishes
meetup notices
dashboard conversations
posts where i end up having egg on my face from being wrong
Awkward turtle time...
First of all, there are other things that have been going on in my life, I’m not getting into it here, but it was a perfect storm of bad. So know that I’m going to keep stuff hidden and that is all.
I have a big enough ego for a normal sized human, maybe too big. It’s one of the characteristics that I despise about myself, and it’s something that I have trouble dealing...
Okay, here's my thinking.
There are certain aspects of tumblr that have made it unattractive for me to continue. If I were to rattle off complaints, I’d look even more obnoxious than I am right now, so let’s just say that it’s a problem that I’m not convinced can be fixed via unfollowing. By all means, feel free to IM and I’ll discuss, but perhaps it’s a better idea to keep my thoughts...

So I guess we’re back to ignoring what this guy has to say? Neato.
“Hate you see you lyin’ there in your Superman skivvies…”
– Weezer
I dunno man, Superman skivvies could be pretty cool.
Some amateur psychologists might label me as...
Since I made the awkward suggestion to my roommates about getting a cat instead of a dog, I haven’t done much to convince them that I’m not the odd one of the bunch. Just this week, a small book called “Turning Tricks” came in the mail, I still mark my juice territory by drinking it straight from the bottle (nobody else is drinking the stuff anyway), and my bedroom wall...
Lost in Translation
I’m pretty sure my parents, who got me into Lost, are now off the bandwagon. Time travel in TV shows gives my mom nosebleeds.
(it makes me dizzy, so maybe this is hereditary)
Another opinion...
Balk linked to this piece by Jason Calacanis, another guy whose name gets a lot of press.
I’m sure some of the wacky Internet contingents will flame me for saying that anonymity is a bad thing, but the fact is that anonymous environments create the environments in which Godwin’s and Harris’ Laws apply. What’s the point of starting these communities if they eventually end in pain and suffering?...
In which (apologies to This Recording) bloggers...
Michael Arrington is this close to getting on my list of unmentionables, but this recent news that he was spat at in a public forum is interesting. I’ve avoided hearing anything about the guy because of pictures like this. Should I really feel bad for him? Internet fame is rooted in the idea that you have to be shameless and obnoxious to reach the top. Personality overtakes the content,...
on realizations
sbz:
you’re way cooler on the internet than in person, and that’s saying a lot.
This girl has met me, FYI. So seriously, buyer beware.
“omg jajajajaja ahhh que cuchii”
– This reaction to Zoe’s photography brought to you by this amigo.
Si! Me gusta el peerrrrrrrrrrro.
Remember when people in Hollywood said that Borat...
That was great.
A different law of large numbers.
The more words I speak, the more likely I am to say something disastrous.
Injecting one trillion dollars into the economy...
Kurtis Blow wants you to know...
You say last week you met the perfect guy (That’s the breaks, that’s the breaks) And he promised you the stars in the sky He said his Cadilac was gold But he didn’t say it was ten years old He took you out to the Red Coach grill But he forgot the cash and you paid the bill And he told you the story of his life But he forgot the part about…his wife! Huh! Huh! Well, these...
Has anyone created a remix using Kanye's Heartless...
This would be nice.
On the positive side...
“The masses have decided to put an end to the Xzibit meme with forceful use of the ‘dislike’ button”.
I think we could do this.
tumblr needs a 'hate' button.

They’d also need to open a therapy center.

Interesting.
These guys will be tremendous at nationalized healthcare. Sorry about the snark, but crap, people want to go from point A to point Q, when we need to hijack the entire system and rid it off all the garbage first.
This has nothing to do with Sweden or any other country that might do this right. We’re being killed by this stuff.
Chantix... scarier than My Bloody Valentine (IN...
Old article, but egad…
“Chantix made me desperately suicidal, just crazy,” she says. “I joked to my friends that Chantix was the ultimate quit-smoking drug, because when you kill yourself, there’s no chance of relapse.”
!??!?!??
Fame climbers.
The yin to the social climber’s yang. Talk some smack about someone on a high rung and hope that the person responds in some fashion. Everyone wins!

with my grandpa, the anarchist, and he’s ranting and raving out this movie “defiance” - with daniel craig, saying he wrote the screenplay years ago and the main ideas were stolen from him.
“grandpa, it’s a true story. anyone can write about it!” “yes, but i wrote to original. Belarus! north of ukraine! jesusss. i know people that were there. those germans. they slaughtered...
