Postcards from Italy

Santa was just using Rudolph for his body.

I've been terribly sick for the past few days. It could've been Swine flu. I don't know. I didn't sleep much. I didn't eat much. I could barely stand up. It was horrible. I couldn't even hold up a guitar (having a very heavy Les Paul didn't help) so I basically just laid in bed coughing up various internal organs.

I've developed a phobia of metal doorknobs. It's really sad and scary.

Dear ramen noodles,

You are tasty.
Insert a line about Brittany Murphy.
So I can say two more years until twenty.
Check it.

I will go out of my way and say that I may have just had one of the best days ever. What's better than eating a ton of good food and getting paid to do a whole lot of nothing? Nothing!

Sold out

Let me rep some random stuff.

Snakes & Suits

Get your faux indie on. Har har har.

I am spending my birthday savings on that. I am flaking on music for clothing. That's so unlike me.

At least I'll still have $100 left after this.

I've been spending a lot of time on the interbots watching youtube videos. By that I mean I've just been watching random vlogging people talk into a camera. Dare I say I am somewhat addicted? Here are the people I find amusing for absolutely no good reason:

-Nanalew

-YourAverageAdam

-thatzak

-Cohenism

That is most definitely in the order I like them. They also do a podcast, but if you even bother to click on one of those links, you'll probably find it.

More soul selling. MOAR!!! WHAT DO I KNOW ABOUT MOAR?!

We'll do the work

500 Days of Summer is sooooooooooo good!!!!!!!! Being a super Zooey Deschanel fan, it's most definitely smart to watch one of her best movies ever 800 billion days after it's been released. Now there's no one to talk about it with. ._.

I loved that movie.

Inglourious Basterds also. That was pretty good too.

For once in my life I actually feel good about this whole college thing. I ACTUALLY HAVE AN ESSAY WRITTEN!!! WOOO!!! YEA!!! It's kinda sad how other people are actually in college already though. Also this girl who's like 100x smarter than me is also applying to Skidmore. Well, I'm sure a lot of other people at school who are 100x smarter than me are applying also, but I only know for a fact that she is. Way to totally further destroy my chances.

I wonder if I could apply for stuff in Canada?

Speaking of Canada, it is basically a proven fact that just about ANYONE can speak French better than me. It's kinda sad.

NOW FOR A NEW SEGMENT!!!

Ongoing list of cliche albums that I would like:



YEA! Psychocandy by The Jesus and Mary Chain. Shoegaze-y goodness from back in the day.

I am the Ringo Star of ________

Contrary to popular belief, I actually do own more than just one t-shirt. Too bad I always end up getting pictures taken of me when I'm wearing my East Oakland Boxing Association shirt. Honestly. Out of the not that many pictures of me on the interbots, a good chunk of them feature me wearing that shirt. Why does this matter?!

The best thing you'll ever read

Having a bad day? Do me a favor and read that! It's so good. SOOOOO GOOOOODDDDD!!!!

Two posts in one day. I am done-ish.

This is what we in the cattle industry call "Finals Week". This isn't just any finals week. It is THE finals week. The finals week to end all finals week until a later, as of yet undetermined time in my life.

I am blogging very early in the morning. That can probably tell you what mindset I am in right now. Not a good or productive one. I have about two late assignments and one that is actually due by the end of today. If I somehow convince myself to stay away from friends and distractions on a day where I don't even have to be at school, I will get them done. I will be more or less caught up. It's been so long since I've known that feeling.

The crowds will roar. So, so much.

If you've been reading my blog for more than a second, you'll probably realize I swear a lot. For no good apparent reason whatsoever. So, I've convinced myself to cut down on it. Maybe.

Concluding remarks.

I'm going to have a few weeks worth of free time soon. Assuming I do force myself to follow through with the whole learning the drive thing, I might spend a lot of that time just driving around and forgetting to put gas into the car. Even then I'll still have a lot of free time. I think I will force myself to write things again. Well, "force" makes it sound un-artsy. Haha. What exactly these things are is still unclear. How seriously I take it is still unclear as well.

Hi. Ho. Hi. Ho!
