Find a New Friend 2007-03-14 15:49:00 “What’d you get up to last night?”“Got wicked drunk.”“Yeah? Where’d you go?”“I didn’t go anywhere. I drank at home.”“You had a party and didn’t invite me? Who showed up?”“No one. I got drunk by myself.”“No shit? What’s wrong, man? You wanna talk about it?”I do wanna talk about it. Not about what my friend wrongly assumed was the dark motivation that would drive me to drink alone, but the very act of drinking alone....stolen directly from Steve
Toys for Aquaphobics 2007-03-17 19:00:00 Inflateable Human Beach BallClaustrophobic and have a fear of water? Quick, buy this. This is a six-foot-wide ball that encloses a person and allows him to run around, on the water. You know, like Jesus. These are designed with intentions to battle other morons people in other big inflatable balls on the ocean. This Nuclear Globe inflatable tube is only available in Australia right now. Watch out for that undertow, Aussies!...via Digg

I much prefer dark quiet bars 2007-03-17 18:20:00 I was conned last night into going out when I was already in a rather loose frame of mind. So I met up with Rebecca and we proceeded to go to Carson's Live, a huge monstrosity of a club, and met up with some coworkers. There are a few technicians in town for training and they evidently wanted to go out with the people who tell them what to do all day. I'm not sure if it was the shock of seeing me there or what explanation can be given, but I was assaulted with free drinks from the moment I walked in the door. Test tube shots and scotch from DeAndrea's boy, Randy was in a very happy place and felt the desire to share, and jello shots from James, on of the techs from Connecticut. Raheim picked up the chair I was on to try to carry me to the dance floor at one point, and everyone tried to dance on and around me. I don't dance. Ever. But it was good they tried. I remember Princess on stage dancing to the crowd, Randy grinding behind Angela, being told by one who has just met me that he
And What Now? 2007-03-17 01:08:00 Bewray [fr. ME bewreien, fr. be- + wreyen: to accuse, inform on, from OE wregan; ultimately fr. Gothic wrohjan: to accuse] archaic 1) to make known : divulge, disclose; esp. to reveal (as a secret) to one's disadvantage often unintentionally 2) to reveal the true character of Silence in love bewrays more woe Than words, though ne'er so witty: A beggar that is dumb, you know, May challenge double pity. - Sir Walter Raleigh, The Silent Lover
There are a few advantages to not living alone 2007-03-19 01:21:00 So right now I have the Adrian and Greg downstairs going over lines for Adrian's theatre class. From the play Things You Shouldn't Say Past Midnight. The scene is set as a man and woman having sex and at climax, the woman screams "Do me, you hook-nosed Jew!" and the scene proceeds into an argument after. Hearing Greg, a man that is well rather tall and imposing, trying to scream "do me!" over and over again in falsetto ranks equivalent to winning a bet or getting a bonus on the scale of happiness. And I really like money and happiness.All this, after the explanation of the 'What's In My Butt?' game that is evidently popular with McAfee IT guys. And no, not in that way. Read more:alone

Turns out there a really shitty looking book, some sort of game, and Krunk Xombies!! And one girl eats them for breakfast! (No specification fo whether the xombies eaten by the girl are krunk or not)
I Had Made My Allowances and Forgotten.... 2007-03-21 05:30:00 I love these peopleArt, comics, toys, etc. The above image has almost nothing to do with the site but one man's opinion of something beautiful. I love moments like that. Seeing art in the ordinary.On a completely side note, Modest Mouse came out with a new album recently. I used to be such a devote follower I bought all new albums day of release. I have been lacking. When Build Something Out of Nothing came out I was at Best Buy first day to purchase. Later, Good News for People Who Love Bad News I purchased the day after it came out and then used a burned copy to buy my way out of a mass water balloon attack. This time around, I have slacked. Just now getting around to hearing the new. I do not even know if I am impressed or hateful. Still on only track four in over an hour of listening, thanks to distraction. But it coincides wiht a good day of new mac shuffleness that should prove fruitful in many ways. Listening to songs I have always let slide. Playlists I love but ignore. Checki Read more:Forgotten
According to some meme... 2007-03-21 04:21:00 My battle cry:"I'm going to punch you until your anus and mouth reverse their functions!!!"Somehow, it seems apt. Unfortunately most people seem to follow this without my help.

The Wind Blew Off My Hat 2007-03-22 15:50:00 Interesting little short by director Gaille Denis. And somehow the feature makes the pain that is Joanna Newsom's singing not quite as bad.
Meanings 2007-03-22 06:16:00 Nicole / AngeliqueI knew this a long time ago. But after compared to Anna Nicole for a long time, any other implications, no matter the form, are better and need reminding.Have also read it means followers of the anti-Christ. No wonder I'm so goddamn conflicted. Read more:Meanings
DIAF Fox News 2007-03-24 00:26:00 Here is an interesting short article by Neil Cavuto of Fox News complaining that fat people cause a bad negative first impression. And then keep it. To Neil, being fat/obese is evidently not a lifestyle choice but the same equivalant as being black, Jewish or any other ethnic form.WTF? How is something that you are born as due to parental genes the same as stuffing your face everyday with french fries and lard burgers? Yes, I know some people have biological reasons for being able to gain weight more easily than others or lose it slower, but there is no excuse for saying that ethnicity and obesity are on the same par. My pale skin and red hair come from my parents, just as being female. It does not constitute why I do not weigh 300 pounds. It does not explain how my sister had a perfect body in high school and now weighs a bit more. Her choice to eat a lot and not work out created that issue.Fox News, please try to put some, any, effort into hiring your commentators. You never cease to

Metal means you're smart.... 2007-03-23 05:55:00 This explains why I listened to so much Tool and Slayer in the dayExcept that Tool isn't metal and I was surrounded by other incredibly smart people. I was in an IB school. Maybe I knew that intelligence and common sense weren't the same things at that age. Maybe I knew they were fools and I had a different path. Or maybe I just hated everything and wanted a way out. But this explanation sounds much better. Read more:Metal
Not of this earth 2007-03-23 05:15:00 A light echo is light from a stellar explosion echoing off dust surrounding the star that produces enough energy in a brief flash to illuminate surrounding dust. The star presumably ejected the illuminated dust shells in previous outbursts. Light from the latest outburst travels to the dust and then is reflected to Earth.
Marshall Law? 2007-03-23 05:01:00 The Bush Regime's preparations for martial law are part of an extreme agenda. This is a regime that is setting out to create a world empire that is unchallenged and unchallengeable and has embarked on an endless war to bring this about. Along with this, they aim to restructure social relations in the U.S., doing away with many of the social and economic institutions that have characterized U.S. society since World War 2. Because of this extreme agenda, the Bush regime takes very seriously the possibility of jolts and ruptures and resistance and are preparing very extreme measures to deal with this."Would the really go that far?These days I really go out of my way to avoid politics. I've had the arguments, and in truth, lack the ambition to keep fighting that futility. Interesting article nonetheless. Read more:Marshall
