Waste your time wisely!

But the real question is, what would I be doing if there was no photoshop?

Undoable.

I haven’t gotten a gift in a long time, so whoever wants to get me this (she makes a white version which is slightly more ballin’ but currently out of stock), I’d be so appreciative. And whoever wants to pay my ridiculously high hospital bill for breaking one of the most worthless bones in my body, be my guest. Only $650, what a steal!

Think too much, giggle too little.

Real bubble gum.

Proof beyond believable doubt.

With one month left in the Piedmont, surprise is my baby tomato plants start to bear fruit. They got in the ground way too late and won’t have time to fully realize their potential. I’m trying to avoid the metaphor. As Osiris once said in more words, ’we all run on explosions’.

I remember my old friend Jon Feldman turned to me one evening at dusk,

“This is my favorite time of day. I’m going to start enjoying it more from now on.”

I took the same approach that day and from then on.  Sometimes I forget.

Yesterday was the longest day of the year and I revised my resume in the failing light.

Its hard to take risks with a pessimist.

I return Slutbanger to her original roots this weekend with the aid of an upgraded rental car and hopefully some companions. It seems that all things that once depended on me are now being cast away in some cathartic clockwork that I’ve engineered.

I planted tomato sprouts to their necks in this clay filled Carrboro soil. Rarely do I take on a task without the intention of changing my world view. Like watching Shawshank Redemption alone in the dark. Or crying without the aid of alcohol.

But fret not friends, yours truly will soon make his first digital capture in several years.

Let’s just hope those plants can breathe.

Addiction of concern.

I broke my foot power driving the lane and didn’t even call a foul. I did get pushed around in a wheelchair in the hospital with the reasoning that “I’ll never be dumb enough to do that again”. I think the reason I decided to take it to the ER is that it wasn’t my ankle but the middle of my foot with an odd lump sticking out of it. Ankles are expendable in basketball.

So I’ve been playing a lot of video games and wasting a lot of time, but I see this as an unplanned vacation. Final Fantasy Tactics is complete and the new Castlevania and in the process of getting an asswhooping. Its actually the most frustrating game on the planet and will most likely turn out being the most enjoyable to smash on the ground after winning.

Almost started school. I’m open for suggestions on areas of study. I need direction.

Auscultation through intuition.

Watched UNC handle with ease at Spice St. Brothers lookin’ sharp in all white like it was a Boyz II Men concert. Headed to Franklin St. for the masses. Jump over a tiny fire in the street with others. Someone did a push up over the fire. I burned my bandanna not because someone said it was Duke blue. Tried to get the chant “burn your cell phone” but my voice already gone. Fuse for dancing and actually killing it. Osiris battled his longer haired doppelganger and had to reaffirm that I did in fact serve the Keith lookalikey in a dance off who I later found out is Keith’s twin brother. Go double figure.

Didn’t feel old for a night.

Weakly Update.

Finished watching the Notorious B.I.G. movie. No big deal. Clearly biased and slighted against Tupac, but if you’re gonna make a Biggie movie, why wouldn’t it be. I started playing WoW and I think its a good thing. I’m on a ten day trial before I have to decide to spend near a $100 to continue. Its insanely addictive, mentally engaging, and drudgingly repetitive.  On the flip, it has saved me tons of money by not going out or engaging in any kind of social activity. Pros and cons.

Most of you know where I work, or at least my main job. There is a clean & bright initiative being rolled out with the best corporate talk I’ve seen in years. I found a primer for managers addressing team members reacting to change in different ways and I had to share it with you.

Really, its just comforting to know that if my skeptic attitude toward change doesn’t get me anywhere and my efforts to sabotage fall through, I can always cry.

Get older.

So I’ve spent this night much like I’ve spent a majority of this past week: on the computer discovering.  I think its the new setup and the ease of use that allow me to spend countless and seemingly non-pointless hours on the internet. I hope that I’m discovering and idea-hoarding rather than brain cell bruising. It feels positive. Netflix instant is the for real tightness. I’ve been watching videos of people record music (Dan Deacon, Deerhunter, Jay-Z) and it inspired me to attempt more complex chord progressions on the guitar. I don’t think I’ve written a complete song ever but I will always hide behind the idea that nothing I create will ever “finish”.

That said, I’ve been downloading music like crazy and have spent most of the night working on a playlist called “FEELINGZ”. I will upload it if it ever gets “FINISHED”.

I’m ready to leave Chapel Hill. Who knew it was St. Patrick’s Day?

I’m getting into the sun.

Grand Funk Railroad has been blowing my mind lately. Thanks to Mattie Mark for the spark.

Anyways, I dropped a few bills and got a new setup. I think I mentioned last post that I was in need of a desktop setup for my laptop, well I deed it. I hid my laptop behind my monitor using a document holder and some #8 screws. Stole the idea from here. Let us hope that it makes me do more than post on this blog.
