So it's V-Day and I'm sitting here with my computer in my lap and the tv turned onto The Simpsons and I'm completely okay with that (as I was last year). As I get older, it's been slowly occuring to me that days are just days, no matter if Hallmark has a card for them or not. I could've gone to my friend's bar, but...

Okay, so my friend who works at that bar confirmed things for my birthday. Apparently she's supposed to dj, my buddy D's supposed to dj, and I'm supposed to make my big turntable debut as well. Okay, now I'm getting kind of nervous. The fact that she confirmed everything with her boss makes everything a bit more real, now. That and the fact that the...

Okay, I need a new project, so I decided I'm going to learn how to dj. A friend wanted me to spin at her bar on New Year's Eve, but seeing as how I've never done it before, I had to kindly decline. Lately, I've noticed that if I sit still for too long, my mind begins to wander to places it shouldn't, so this...

that sounds like fun.
bairdduvessa:
i'm sure you'd be a marvel at djing
Okay, things aren't really as dire as all this, but recently I've just rediscovered one of my favorite films, The Girl On The Bridge, and this monologue from the opening scene with Vanessa Paradis (that's Mrs. Johnny Depp to you) just seemed to fit my mood:
"I've never been useful or precious to anyone, or happy, or even really unhappy. I guess you're unhappy when...

One of my favorite Magnetic Fields songs ever:
I don't want to get over you. I guess I could take
a sleeping pill and sleep at will and not have to
go through what I go through. I guess I should take
Prozac, right, and just smile all night at somebody new,
Somebody not too bright but sweet and kind who would
try to get...

Happy new years, man. May it be better than the last in every way.
A couple days ago a really good friend of mine asked me to spin at her bar on New Year's Eve. I was incredibly flattered to say the least, considering I've never done such a thing before and our tastes in music have kind of gone in opposite directions over the last few years. She's more of a psychadelic/punk rock kinda gal, while I'm more...

I hear you, man. I've never been able to pick up on signals. But for some reason society decided at some point it was the man's job to do most of the chasing. And guys like us are left in the dust with nothing but the words "nice guy" ringing in our goddamn ears. You just have to have faith that it'll get better.
And I can't believe you passed up The Queen is Dead on vinyl. If you buy it and decide you don't want it, you have a garunteed buyer right here.
Happy holidays, man.

Sounds like you've got a pretty clear signal from this super-cute girl you keep mentioning... why not go for it?
I got so trashed last night, I went to my friend's bar today and drank Sprite. This also resulted in my sitting at home on a Saturday night listening to the first hip-hop CD I've bought since Digital Underground first hit it big with "The Humpty Dance." I first saw Rhymefest at the Borders by my work and I was fucking blown away and the...

Good job, man! I really hope it works out. It's weird when you're so used to being single and are finallypresented with the cance of a date. Almost like you don't really know what to do. But it sounds like you've got your shit pretty together. Best of luck.
Another rant, this one about the state of rocknroll:
So I was at this show the other night for a freelance assignment and I couldn't help thinking that I am just bored stupid with rocknroll, lately. Seriously, there hasn't been a godamn new thing in nearly 20 years, maybe more. Literally everything, EVERYTHING is a rehash of something that originally came out more than ten...

That was Hard Harry, friend. That movie sure knew how to catch a feeling. It really made me want to start a pirate radio station.
I wish I could comment on modern music, but I haven't listined to the radio in over a year. And my favorite band is Everclear. So there goes any argument I had. If it's any consolation, I don't think you're jaded.

Mindless ramble, here:
So the other night a friend of mine's having a party. Now, before I go on, let me just clarify, here: I absolutely love my friends; they're absolutely wonderful people, but to be blunt, I knew there'd be more scumbags there than not. So what happens? I meet a girl there that I am almost instantly attracted to, which pretty much never...

I hate that feeling of having someone just slip through your fingers. Hopefully you'll see her again and still have a connection. And hey, we've all done the internet stalking thing. Right? Or did I just reveal an embarassing personal secret to the internet again?
Today was awesome. I took a day off from work and had lunch at my favorite pasta place in the city with one of my best friends, made $50 selling DVDS at the local Reckless Records, then blew it all on comics just a few minutes later. If it weren't for the fact that I found yet another mouse/rat in my apartment, was already a...

"You sit there in your heartache
Waiting on some beautiful boy to
To save you from your old ways
You play forgiveness
Watch it now
Here he comes
He doesnt look a thing like Jesus
But he talks like a gentleman
Like you imagined
When you were young..."
