the new mba class for the fall trimester started up yesterday and i fear that i'm enrolled in a steaming load of crap over the next 14 weeks. the class is 'organizational behavior' and it wasn't more than ten minutes into the first session last night that my bullshit alarm was chirping and my inner skeptic was being fitted for a straight jacket. while some...

i actually downloaded that new libertines album a couple of days ago. a few of the songs are pretty fucking good and a couple really grated on me. it's gonna take a few more listens to come to a conclusion.
as far as your journal goes - it's pretty unfortunate that it seems the only way to not be a slave to THE MACHINE is to be poor for a very long time. i'm by no means raking it in, but the fact that i work for a company with strong social morals and i can still pay my bills thrills me to no end. i got lucky. but i was also unemployed for 2 years before i got this job. so, you give, you take... i guess. or something like that.
and keep in mind, if you don't do that job, someone else will. but maybe you can spend the loot you get (if you get the job) with a bit more conscience than the average joe who just wants to buy an H2. maybe that's just rationalizing, but what the hell...
last night i saw a man that had been touched by the almighty. jah! rastafarai!

ditched work early yesterday afternoon and headed to malibu (zuma, not surfrider) to ride a few waves. the breaks weren't terribly big, varying from waist to chest high, but they were pretty strong and rode very fast. it was a backdoor break so as i was cutting back to get a longer ride i think i got too...

man, i've dropped so many bags in the most inopportune places.
i've also noticed that cops don't seem to care about the weed very much. especially if they're busy with real crime. the bored do-gooders are the ones to watch out for.
i'm not sure about that show. maybe. i don't know any brubeck, but the one tyner album i have (extensions) is the shiznit. i'm a jazz novice.
Dude, you will never get cut from the friends list. You have avoided castration twice in a row now. Good job with the cops, just remember to smile and wave.
