It's so perfect when you remember all the possibilities of nihilism. I don't mean just standing on the edge of the abyss, staring into its blank darkness until it stares right back into you. I mean jumping, taking a running leap and pirouetting a dive right into its uncharted depths. Sin City is nihilism in its rawest form. Sin City is nihilism reminding me how...

All right. I guess that having a late night wine drinking party with friends the night before you work at 7:30 in the morning is a bad idea. Right now I'm not plastered, but the room spins every time I close my fucking eyes and I can't sleep when I get like that. So we'll have to see how this turns out. Let me say...

I have absolutely nothing to do today, so why not just get on the old journal and type whatever comes to mind. It's like Randy Newman in the Y2K episode of Family Guy, just singing what he sees. "Hey there, Rover. Come on over!" What do you think about Seth McFarlane's ability at satire? Is it equal to Matt Groening's, below Groening's, or superior? Or...

Went to Tanglewood Carmike today and saw The Ring 2. It was good and bad. First of all, I think it's a bad sign when I can think of a snide, MST3K remark or a Simpsons quote to yell in accompaniment with just about every scene in a movie. There's a part near the beginning where Naomi Watts burns the videotape (that doesn't give...

and here's where your mother sleeps
and here is the room where your brothers were born
indentions in the sheets
where their bodies once moved but don't move anymore
and it's so sad to see the world agree
that they'd rather see their faces filled with flies
all when I'd rather keep white roses in their eyes
Neutral Milk Hotel, "Holland, 1945," from In the...

I think it's appropriate to give props to the whole Elephant 6 team. They are the definition of indie rock. Just saying hi from the little burg of Blacksburg. -Dave

Yeah, I've never gotten into Essex Green. I saw them once and wasn't really impressed. Big fan of groups like Apples in Stereo, Dressy Bessy, High Water Marks. & Olivia Tremor Control. I think I heard some of Arcade Fire on the Adelphia 'Alternative' music channel last week. -Dave
It's been quite an intertesting week at the shop. I found out that they will be transferring me to Starkey Road to work with the manager there. They apparently want to get me to the point where I can become a full store manager. I was assistant manager in Salem. This is really cool. I hope everything works out. I start Monday morning over at...

Thanks for the birthday wishes.
Glad to hear that you're probably getting a promotion. I think that the Starkey store is probably a move up from Salem, since the Salemites seem to be quite shoved up their own asses.
Maybe things will suck less there...

I've been away for a while. All apologies to anyone I may not have contacted. It's hard to actually find time to just sit down and keep this thing updated.
Anyway, I had an interesting experience last week. I went around the corner to the Grandin and saw Hotel Rwanda, the movie about the genocide in 1994. It was probably the first time since...

What else is there to do after you meet up with a bunch of friends at Mac and Bob's and find that there is an attractive young lady with them who recognizes you, but to whom you can only say, "I really can't say where we met before." What else is there to do?
Sleep it off, young man.

I've found out how to be a successful manager or assistant manager of a small business. The secret is to stop giving a rat's ass about the needs of your customers and just worry about what's most important for your company, your employees, and yourself, preferably in that order. I had to put the smack down on the bunch of middle school kids who come...

It has been INSANE this week at the coffee shop. Does the city of Salem really want this much coffee? And no wonder America is overweight with the amount of pie this town consumes. How much cheese cake can a single human being intake before he or she explodes? Sheesh. As long as they're paying my salary and the salaries of everyone else there I'm...

Look at you going off on intelligent rants pertaining to the movie. That makes me even more thrilled to go see it.
