By land, by sea, by dirigible... [18 Aug 2006|06:11pm]

"Yo, what the fuck we do?" [17 Aug 2006|09:07am]
[ music | The Decemberists - Summersong ]

Note to self: it is probably not a good idea to repeatedly punch the front of a bar as if it were a speedbag, it doesn't matter how excited you are that "Drug Ballad" just came on the jukebox and someone's buying a round of jagerbombs.

God my knuckles hurt this morning. What the fuck is wrong with me?

PS - The new Decemberists album leaked. The internet is a fantastic whore.

Gonna get back to basics... [03 Aug 2006|09:05pm]
Band frontman Adam Duritz has hinted that their next studio record may be released as soon as early 2007, which both him and guitarist Dan Vickrey indicating the band recently spent three weeks working in a Hell's Kitchen recording studio with Gil Norton, the producer behind 1996's "Recovering the Satellites." Vickrey has added that the forthcoming album will sound closest to "Recovering The Satellites"

I AM WEARING A HUGE HAPPY HAT.

By the way, I really want to get an apartment in Hell's Kitchen even though it's nowhere near the school I'm going to. What a cool name for a neighborhood. Sure beats Ridgecrest. Hell's Kitchen gets bonus cool points for being the stomping ground of the Irish mafia.

Lizard weather. [02 Aug 2006|10:34am]
[ music | Modest Mouse - The Good Times Are Killing Me ]

Time for my monthly LJ update.

I am in the best fucking mood for the following reasons...

- The temperature in the Valley hit triple digits this week. Heat index for today is supposed to be 110 degrees. Call me crazy, but I love this weather.
- A month from today I will make my grand return to Myrtle Beach, my old stomping grounds, for the first time in ten years.
- Went out in Springfield last night for Nicole's 21st birthday and had a blast. Jaime (who I LOVE) was there too. Fun fun fun. Ran into some Ridgecrest dudes too.

But most importantly...

- I've talked about it long enough, time to get some shit done. I am going to be relocating myself to New York City in January for the purpose of attending the New York Film Academy. Props to Dow Jones for funding such an endeavor.

I'm going to the Red Sox vs Yankees game on Tuesday. Woohoo. I've never been to one of those. I'm going to punch Derek Jeter in the teeth.

"Every time I see an eagle, it's a filthy fucking seagull..." [17 May 2006|12:47pm]
[ mood | rockin' out ]
[ music | Lifter Puller - Rock For Lite Brite ]

You know what really bugs me? When I discover an awesome album and I'm really enjoying it and then I realize it came out forever ago.

Specifically, today it's "Half Dead & Dynamite" by Lifter Puller, a nine year old album. I should have been listening to this fucking thing back in 1997 instead of The Queers and MxPx and whatever other silly horseshit I was listening to back then.

Figures. I never learn to appreciate anything until it's lost, cancelled, dead, shut down, broken, out of print, or bulldozed.

In contrast, this new Super Mario Brothers game for the Nintendo DS is pretty awesome. I already beat it. Goomba motherfuckers fear my fireball skillz.

Fiestas and fiascos. [02 Apr 2006|06:09am]
[ mood | drunk ]
[ music | Lifter Puller - Sangre de Stephanie ]

God I love nights like tonight, where I just shuffle from house to house, bar to bar, party to party. Run into a million people who all know my name. Reminds me that I actually DO have a life. Makes me forget that last Saturday I couldn't get a single soul on the phone nor a familiar face on the nightlife.

The 20 year old girls don't hurt either.

And I was just about to give up on this godforsaken town too. Damnit Westfield, just when I thought I was out, you pull me back in.

Haha I love going out drinking with a bunch of dudes and being the only one who picks up a girl. I can boogie like a schwoogie.

Too bad she lives in New York. Bah, I'm going back to the city on Friday anyway, maybe I'll give her a call.

Thrillsville. [10 Mar 2006|03:49pm]
[ mood | bored ]
[ music | The Cloud Room - Blackout! ]

You want to know how exciting this town is?

There's a cat laying on the hood of my car licking it's own ass.

I watched it for fifteen minutes.

Excitement.

Screw it, I'm going to New York City for the weekend.

[ music | Lifter Puller - Lonely in a Limousine ]

Y'know, I am the perfect juxtaposition between high-class and low-class.

I never realized this until I caught myself writing stock tips on the back of my hand with a ballpoint pen.

I just shaved my head. Rock.

Also, curling is my new favorite sport. This is why.
