Pre-Thanksgiving Invite
So ummm…I don’t know if anyone else is feeling it yet but Thanksgiving is coming up soon. That means that pre-thanksgiving must be sooner. I am putting out the call right now for all my west coast homies, who’s interested in doing another pre-thanksgiving this year?
If you don’t know Thanksgiving is my most favorite holiday ever because it is a time when a feast is had. Why not enjoy this feast twice a year? Hell why not three?
Let’s do it up this year, who’s down?
Here’s some highlights from previous years:
Santa Cruz 2008
Prethanksgiving New York 2007
Dan and Ben enjoying LIFE
Relax, yeesh.
What is it with people and superstition?
I am going to warn you, this post makes absolutely no sense. It’s nonsense. I am doing it so I can get back to writing again. My thoughts are not formed, nor planned, though they have a slight theme. Anyways, for the two people that read this, sorry.
9/9/09. Who gives a fuck?
“It only happens once a century.” So fucking what? Does that even mean anything? Just because some numbers show up on a wall during your lifespan suddenly I have to care about it and smile and be socially acceptable?
Rescue Me
From the conception of this show I wanted to dislike. Verily, I did dislike it. I wouldn’t pay attention to it. Whenever I saw an ad for it I would think to myself, “What a stupid fucking show.”
A very good way to measure a shows worth is if it has one of the following characteristics: you watch 5 seasons in less than a week, you stay up all night watching episode after episode, you make audible noises at the plot twists, or it makes you relate.
Rescue Me has all of these characteristics. Plus the characters pretty much rule.
An ongoing new blog series: Things I recommend
So I’ve been reading, watching, and playing a lot of good things these past few months. When one falls across good things they often want to share it with their peers. The main motivation of said sharing is not important, although for full disclosure mine is ego/boasting.
I’ve been wanting to start a regular series where I share information about cool comics, books, music, an tv shows. Then the two or three people that read my blog will also know about these cool ass things and maybe eduficate themselves about it.
The things I recommend won’t show up in any specific order, more on the order of my whims. Since I am currently watching The Sandbaggers that is what I will tell you about.
Ramadan…nearly half over
I’ve been ruminating over what my next blog post was going to be about. I would constantly become passionate about some subject to wax masterbatical about, but very quickly that passion would wither away.
I wanted to give you an update of things that have happened, like me asking out a girl who has a girlfriend. Or about various aspirations I’ve had and the various pursuits involved with said aspirations. Or even the various food cravings I’ve been having.
None of that really wound me up in such a way to get me writing. Now I do have something to share.
Fuckin’ coming of age flicks
All right, so Adventureland is not a coming-of-age movie per say, but it plays it hard like one. I have a soft spot for these movies, especially when they’re well done, not as in temperature but execution.
A well done coming-of-age story inspires a couple of things: wistfulness and regret. I hate those two feelings because they make me feel ordinary. There is nothing more I pretend to despise than the potential of being ordinary.
But these films make me feel fucking ordinary because I want to feel wistful and in love and young and innocent. I catch myself thinking, “Man that looks like fun,” or “Gee I had feelings like that, wish I could have them again.”
Disgusting.
Is this a video blog? Might be.
