UNDERDOGGIN' part II
THURSDAY. APRIL 5, 2012. 11:47 AM
Let’s just say I can have strong opinions. I bet you do, too. That nap really did the trick. I feel awesome. And the only game I feel like playing right now or ever… is Duck Hunt or WWF WrestleMania or Adventure Island. I remember usually doing pretty good at Jeopardy Deluxe Edition on SNES. Still underdoggin’ though. And really into...

UNDERDOGGIN'
WEDNESDAY. APRIL 4, 2012. 12:38 PM
Dear Diary (and any relevant adversaries),
I’ve tried to shake it off, but I’ve realized I always have been and most likely, always will be the underdog. Never quite popular, it might seem that I’m not the most skilled at playing the game. Perhaps, I am. Perhaps, I’m not. Maybe I just won’t participate. You won’t...

WHAT IT IS AND HOW IT IS DONE
MONDAY. FEBRUARY 27, 2012. 9:18 PM
After two days in San Francisco, I got back to an all consuming “real life” in Los Angeles. I fought the good fight, kept things afloat, flourished in a natural love, and watched Charlie’s Angels (2000) 2.5 times. Twice and a half, in succession. Mainly for one reason: My inability to resist the charm of Crispin Hellion Glover. To many,...

ROMANCE PROPER
TUESDAY. FEBRUARY 14, 2012. 1:09 AM
Just south of befitting, a little northeast of circumstance, and three steps away from liaison, today we’ll find Belgian surrealist Rene Francois Ghislain Magritte. In short, it’s Valentine’s Day. Would it be proper to confess? I think my romances have come to somewhat resemble these paintings. That’s a good thing. The only thing....

MICKEY MOUSE x JOY DIVISION. . . ??
TUESDAY. JANUARY 31, 2012. 5:48 PM
Last week, Disney made available for purchase a “Waves Mickey Mouse Tee for Adults”. A clear homage to Joy Division’s 1979 Unknown Pleasures release. This caused my heart to flutter in the best of ways, as I love both of these conflicting ideas equally. Disney; the ultimate hallmark of imagination, good old-fashioned wholesomeness, The...

I’ll have you know that 95 percent of the world’s ocean currently remains unexplored. Unseen by human eyes. For shame. I would assume those underwater, deep sea dwellers are really quite cute. Or scary.

Whoever you are, I bet you’re awesome. I would be the most fun, coolest, supportive, understanding, loyal, bad-ass girlfriend, wife, whatever. We would both be pretty lucky to find each other. So, here’s a song to tell you how I feel; the possible, theoretical you. Oh, I’m also pretty sure you’re a guy.

…they would groan at school. Is that so? Then why, when I look at a Chuck Close piece, do I feel like all my wild ideas are useless and just plain crazy in comparison to the mind-jarring, awe inspiring exactness his hyperrealist hand delivers? Not to undercut myself, but when I think about how much we all try to bring something new and exciting to the...

So. I love the Stray Cats. And the thought of Slim Jim Phantom (circa 1983) serving me breakfast in the morning makes me faint. In fact, watching the Stray Cats play their 2 hour set with my best friends at 2003’s Hootenanny was like witnessing a unicorn giving birth to a baby seal. In other words, magical. Little Richard the next day was also...

Another Year, man
THURSDAY. SEPTEMBER 22, 2011. 9:55 AM
My birthday was last week. A very busy week. The celebration was superb; perhaps, one of the best ever. And as time passes, I reflect on years gone by. Let’s unravel this journey… HAH, not. I was digging through files and found this, though:
Don’t be frightened by the red bars. They’re just hiding something.
