My laptop died on Friday.
Crash, burn, all the rest I was crippled, crushed, and a touch belligerent. My overall anxiety was eased somewhat by the guy from India who handled my tech support. Imagine Apu from the Simpsons saying: Hello and thank you for calling Dell hardware support. How may I help you my name is Floyd.
Would have been a lot funnier had...

Sometimes a certain string of days connect together so seamlessly, so profoundly, that their impact, while not immediately apparent, can be felt for a lifetime. Travel can sometimes make you feel that way; it imparts a sense of worldliness and opens your eyes to people and places that creep into your breathing space and stay with you no matter where you are, or where you...

Do you think its gonna make him change?
My cell phone is an asshole. Yes, I have had it for a while and Im certainly due for an upgrade I just have a really hard time spending money replacing something that works passably well when they are so many other things I need. Like CDs and comics...

i will attempt to, but i just feel like crap allover which makes me lazy... after these crappy classes i am going to call my ortho- he is going to be sooooooooo annoyed with me... crap. 
I got a voicemail this weekend from a friend in Yuba City. As long as I've known this guy, including the time he lived in Sacramento, he has been trying to get me to visit "The YC." Stories about weird okie folks and altogether implausible Twin Peaks-style anecdotes about random people and places have entertained me, but never truly encouraged me to pack up for...

Well hello and thanks!
Ahhh Yuba City. My roommate dated a boy from Yuba City. This new info about "The YC" is very eye opening indeed.

cleveland is ok, i lived in ohio for a long long time and i like having seasons- even the sf version better than the version here...
and as for the hookers, i meant that they are interesting to WATCH, silly boy.
everyone should have a Vegas experience once, and I always enjoy leaving

i recommend the 72 hour faux bachelor party weekend- gets almost all the stereotypical Vegas situations out of the way in one fell swoop...
I'm going to start gauging my life by quarters.
As I look back on 2004, I can very easily focus on the many positives. I've said 2004 was a good year to a good number of people. That's not to say there weren't rough spots but, come on! We're talking twelve months of danger and intrigue! Some unfortunate shit is bound to occur.

most definitely "cheap and pathetic".
i don't know why guys do this but it makes them look pitiful and weak. [and obviously, according to my journal entry; it makes them appear ignorant]

Eventhough I will miss this place, I do need to move the hell out this state! Out of the NorthEast part of the U.S. actually!!! Maybe it will be worth the sacrfice, lol. I could always come and visit.
I love food... I think when I get rich I will have my own personal chef. Yea, that is totally a diff route your GF has taken. But what she is doing now is FUN I bet. Better than being in an office all day like me?!

...the top 5 records of 2004!
5. Jackpot - F+
Anybody who thinks Cake is the best band in Sacramento has obviously never heard Rusty Miller and the Jackpot boys. A good deal better than their '02 record Shiny Things and a whole hell of a lot better than just about anything released by anybody in 2004. Download "Upside Down."

Hello there fella. I for one am doing pretty darn well, thanks for asking. How about you? Compilation CD? What do you have to do to be one of the lucky recipients of that. Oooooo fun. I love music.

10. The Black Keys - Rubber Factory
These two guys get better and better with each album. This, wailing, bluesy romp is pure guy shit. And they're from Akron, Ohio. My buddy's girlfriend is from Ohio, and, because of my ever-increasing appreciation of Patrick Carney and Dan Auerbach, I am no longer allowed to make fun of her...

15. Maritime - Glass Floor
This is a personal favorite of mine. I've been a Promise Ring devotee for years now, and following the post-Wood/Water break-up, nothing vonBohlen composed with his Vermont side project came close to bringing back the feel-good sadness of mixtape-era TPR. Until now. VonBohlen, years after recovering from surgery to remove a brain tumor,...

I liked the Tom Waits album. It's not casual listening, but I wrote a play almost exclusively to it.
I'm waiting for some Saturday Looks Good To Me to download right now . . . and have you heard about Frank Miller writing All-Star Batman and Robin?
