big gulp of the day
big gulp of the day: stolen and adapted from mari-time today’s big gulp is red and white, with a hint of green. its green straw is a great accent piece, not to mention it delivers delicious soda to my mouth. the lid is clear which is great, because i can see how much big gulp i have left. on the inside is a special treat - mountain dew code red, which i drink when i’m stressed out....
i’m on a blogging spree today, but i had to share. a lot of times, i have a hard time reconciling my faith and undying love for jesus christ with my love of the hedonistic satan-worshipping guitar hero. each time i touch one of the four colored buttons, i am diving further and further into a world of sin, torment, and anguish for my eternal soul. just take a look at this devil-worshipper: ...
open letters to people
an open letter to the richmond ad club: dear richmond ad club, i had hoped that by attending your happy hour, i would meet a slew of interesting and new people, but then i remembered that i’m terrified of just walking up to new people and introducing myself. sorry i ate so many little ham roll-ups and drank so many of your free beers. also sorry i checked my work e-mail so much, i was...
brawny!
no wonder i’ve been having trouble waking up in the morning.. i haven’t been eating THIS for breakfast:
yaaaay!
well, i survived. the website launched at midnight last night. we made our deadline. i stayed up till 1:00am working. and i spent another hour making a sweet dance party playlist for a possible debut at empire on saturday night. the dance party playlist probably wasn’t necessary, but i drank so much fucking red bull, i wasn’t going to sleep anyway. i have a bunch of stuff still...
pikachu techno army
i’m starting an electronic music project. and i’ve decided it’s going to be with this guy:
UGH
things at work are fucking KILLING me. this promotion i’ve been working on for weeks goes live at midnight tomorrow night. after last week’s relative calm, the shit has hit the fan here in the final 48 hours. everything that could go wrong more or less has gone wrong. the responsibility for just about every piece of this promotion falls firmly on my shoulders. normally that’s...
i love the 90s.
one word for saturday night’s “240 minutes” alt-rock party: WOW. kenny totally outdid himself. he took a wholly original idea, brought it to life, executed it perfectly, and as a result - it was a total success. a bunch of us were dancing, singing, and having an amazing time that totally exceeded my expectations. definitely one of the best nights in richmond i’ve had in...
god, i hope so
this is why i drink alcohol
last night we were chilling on the roof of my apartment, everyone having already had plenty to drink, and we segued into one of the strangest conversations i’ve had in a while. it was that point where everything anyone says is absolutely hilarious and you can’t control the volume of your voice. it started with sarah requesting that i sing the infamous “shaw’s...
chamberlain
today i was listening to this band chamberlain and it got me thinking. i was into chamberlain from the moment i first heard them. they started out as this post-hardcore band that was really good. they put out a few records and then somewhere along the way, they just decided to change their sound to alt-country / rock’n’roll. i think this appealed to me because i’ve always been...
i was going to iceland..
.. but now i’m buying a catbus. http://www.craigslist.org/about/best/alb/621862265.html totally amazing!
out and about
so last night i went to a new bar for the first time. as you may already know, i was previously a creature of habit in richmond and i am now trying to expand my richmond horizons. this includes new bars and new chill spots. last night it was adam’s birthday, so i drove up to the new patrick henry pub (formerly a cappella’s) and checked it out. first off, historical references are...
a little wisdom stolen from garrett
“The romantic hero is unconnected. He belongs to no community; he is wandering from place to place, doing good (as he sees it), but then moving on. This is the life of the adolescent, full of passion, intensity, magic, and infinite possibility; but lacking responsibility, rarely having to stay and bear the consequences of error. Everything is played at twice the speed and twice the volume in...
best friends. beards. history.
three of my favorite things. this weekend was BEST FRIENDS DAY. and holy shit, what a weekend it was. friday found us crashing an epic house party and dancing the night away. the cops came, wrecked shop, and i found myself chilling on a stranger’s roof before biking back home for much-needed sleep. saturday was the highlight of the weekend. a whole day of “debauchery” at...
another reason to add to my hate list
you know what, facebook? you can go fuck yourself if you’re going to keep pulling THIS shit:
iceland-bound
so a few months ago i told everyone i was going to take a trip to iceland in early 2009. you may have thought i wasn’t being serious, but i was so serious i even ordered some “literature”.. and it arrived yesterday. so excited.
party.

star wars characters off the job
after a long day at work, even star wars characters need a place to call home. stormtroopers on a lunch break calling home: imperial guard hanging out with his cat: wookie making some breakfast: rebel fighter leaving for work:
nicholas cage: best living actor
i’ve never seen wicker man, but this is clearly some of cage’s finest work:
best friends day
best friends day approaches. all over the city of richmond, people are laying low.. hibernating.. awaiting this day to end all days. last night kenny and i went to cous cous for a drink and to hang out with brett behind the bar. we were literally the only people there the entire time. i feel like everyone is letting all the alcohol dissipate from their system before they binge like drunken...
fffound
teeth.
so i get a half-day today. great, right? not so great. today i go in for my 4-hour dentist appointment where they will proceed to give me 6 root canals and 7 crowns. OUCH!! fortunately for myself and all parties involved, i have been given a prescription for a sedative. i plan on being in dreamland for this whole damn thing. since i don’t know what things are going to be like, i am...
fucking sundays, man.
i just can’t enjoy sundays anymore. the looming threat of monday just seems to suck the life out of what should be a perfectly good day off. i spent the evening in, catching up on work, and sort of just letting the dread wash over me. i semi-watched reservoir dogs and laughed a little at how amazing i thought that movie was when i first saw it when i was 14-15. it still is amazing, but...
saturday!
signs you are in an emotionally fragile state: you get a little teary-eyed watching the gold medal ceremony for fencing. what the HELL?!? anyway. it’s saturday. i’m at my parent’s house. the last time i was here for any significant length of time was during my bicycle accident recovery. it’s nice to be back here for better reasons. i’m off to leesburg for an...
haha this is amazing
so, when the iphone first came out, some a-hole decided to make an iphone app called “i am rich”. it sells for $999 (the max apple allows people to charge for an app) and all it does is have a glowing red gem that moves around. it literally does nothing. 8 people bought it within the first 24 hours of the app store being open. ridiculous. they need to make an app called “i am...
excel spreadsheets
work, specifically excel spreadsheets, continue to kick my ass on a daily basis at the job. i am starting to get better and better at handling the workload, but there are days where i’m just amazed at how much i have to do and how little time i have to do it. fortunately, i have understanding co-workers who are generally in the same boat i am in. my best interaction today was when i called...
fish vs. dogs
the beijing olympics.. are they a trap?
sorry for all the youtube videos. can’t help it!
kermit vs. cookie monster
i was having the worst day until i saw this video. i wish jim henson was still alive. this shit is classic.
peter = awesome
peter is amazing on two levels. first off, he’s an amazing artist. i love all the stuff he does, but i think this is my new favorite piece. secondly, he’s amazing because when i was at home recovering from surgery and totally fucked up, i could never sleep during the night. i was waking up every few hours from pain and totally uncomfortable and miserable. he brought over this...
weekend recap
friday night friday we opened up the apartment to friends in celebration of kenny’s new summer line of flux rad t-shirts. it was a fun party. i played some music, visited with friends, and we all ended up on the roof talking late into the night. after mistakenly thinking our beer supplies were tapped (we later found a multitude of beer), we went to empire for a few more. the evening was...

this is the choice i make every morning before work: this also made me crack up:
