currently working.
I’ve got a beer…but a shot and a beer seems like a better idea. I believe it’s time to upgrade here. So many choices, and indecisive me. I’ll just close my eyes and point at something.

he taught himself how to dance, and i think that's...
That’s really all I have to say about Michael Jackson in light of his death…dude could really dance, and it’s very likely that he, in some way, influenced my brief foray into hip-hop choreography a few years back.
changing my mind.
I was going to purchase a Disneyland Annual Passport today. I figured it would give me something different to do…but, when I got there, I realized I’d only be trying to grasp old memories, since I’d spent so many of my high school days there, and spent a lot of time hanging out there when I worked at the resort.
I changed my mind.
I’ve been saving money very well for...
three movies where music pulled you further into...
I’ve recently seen three pretty good movies where the soundtrack wasn’t just an after-thought. A lot of times, especially in action movies, you’ll get the standard dramatic orchestra music or choir singing Hell’s theme song during a shit-ton of explosions (I’m talking to you, Michael Bay). However, in the movies that pull you in emotionally, the music is a big thing.

fail.
I was watching Andy Murray advance to the quarter-finals of Wimbledon, and I’ve been sitting around, browsing websites, waiting around for the next tennis match…then I realized that the Murray-Wawrinka match was the last one of the night. Nothing until tomorrow…sitting around for nothing. I’m riding on a fail horse, I’m a fail rider.
It’s a literary reference,...
Swiss Family Robinson? Anyone?
afghanibanani:
Most of the time I brush off comments about how much people “hate Miley Cyrus”, or “can’t stand the Jonas Brothers”. Why should any grown human being like those things? I usually will offer my very cool response of something like, “Well you’re not supposed to like it. It’s for kids.” Immediately following, I will pontificate for about five solid minutes on everything stupid we...

So I’ll make my stand, and remain as I am, and bid farewell, and not give a...

bumping heads.
You know when a cute girl drops something, and you both go to pick it up and accidentally bump heads in the process? That happened tonight with the new cocktail waitress. I got all stupid afterwards and ended up smacking myself in the back with my bottle-opener…but no one saw that. All I know is that I really hope that she gets more shifts…and that I don’t just end up sitting on...
A drunk cameraman + a house full of drunk people + a passed out birthday-boy = This video.
Word to the wise: Never be he first one to pass out at your own birthday party, or you’ll have a shit-ton of penises drawn on your face.
digital video cameras.
You know, if it weren’t for the advent of digital video cameras, I wouldn’t be able to recollect half the shit that happened last night…I don’t think I’ll be able to drink that much again for awhile.
5 Washington Apples in 8-seconds.
This is a detailed look at my fool-hardy endeavor of drinking 5 shots in less than 12-seconds.
“Show me a fuckin’ horny broad who wants to drink the rest of this shit…we’re making out later.”
roller-skating.
I spent a lot of my elementary school days at the roller-rink on those 2x2s…and it would make my day if I could go to some roller-rink with a girl on a retro-night and skate in circles to some Blondie right now…some Heart Of Glass shit, or even some Mobb Deep or Method Man and Mary J. That would make me incredibly happy to find a girl who would be content with that…just a date...
i miss puff.
Maybe Puff Daddy. Maybe even Puffy. Definitely not P. Diddy. Not even Diddy.
I’m listening to The Wackness Original Soundtrack and the Purple Tape right now, and I remember a time when Puff actually made dope beats, like when he would make beats for Jodeci, Mary J. Blige, and Biggie. Nowadays, Sean Combs is desperately searching and scouring for relevance with new sounds, and the new shit...

To keep my creative gears churning, I’ve decided to start posting my short stories over at my WordPress account. My goal is to post a, short story there at least once a week, ideally every Friday, starting today with Cold Shots and Quiet Drives, the short story I wrote to accompany last week’s mixtapes.
i'm just gonna take this as a sign to get cracking...
I’m sure I’ll get a notification from AP Mobile when the stories get straight…but really guys, since when has TMZ been a credible news source?
Letting RT do the talking for me:
saraofportland:
“The SFX are still awesome, but they’ve lost their novelty factor. As for everything else, it still pretty much sucks.”
“The special effects are better and the dialogue slightly more humorous than in the first movie, but the anti-Arab subtext is repugnant”
“Boasts spectacular visuals, sound effects and editing, but it suffers from tedious, mind-numbing action...
the sixtyone: a new way to discover music. →
Let’s face it, a lot of the outlets for finding new and interesting music that you would like have started to suck a lot. You’re stuck weeding through a bunch of shit you don’t really care for…meanwhile, The Sixtyone is a new fun way to find new music that appeals to you, and it’s sort of a guided way of doing it. There are fun little “quests” that you can...
