Seriously, we're back to this, huh? Well, I guess we are ( Read more... )

So I've been doing some thinking about the whole vegetarian/vegan/PETA-nazi "movement" that's going about for sometime now and I think I've reached some conclusions, though a couple questions linger. For a while now I've kind of believed that the whole "I don't eat meat because factory farms are cruel and animals are people, too," attitude is ( Read more... )

• There were way, way, waaay more than 10,000 people there. A minimum of 25,000, but I'd put it closer to 30,000. No, it wasn't the 50,000 that were thought to come, but it was still an awesome turn-out. 
• Emphasis on the Anarchists! I'm sorry, but if you're going to pull that dumb shit, no, I'm not going to care or sympathize with your getting ( Read more... )

Life has been... well, it's been rather insane. Bipolar, really - distinct ups and distinct downs.

The Ups: 
I'm moving out of parents' house and in with my friend, Hannah, in a small, but cute ((and, above all, cheap)) apartment over in So. Mpls. I don't think anyone would claim it to be greatest apartment of Ever, but it's ours and, most ( Read more... )

I asked a boy out. A man, really. Yes, at 34 he's a man, not boy. Yeah... oh, he said yes.

I feel happy.

I finally figured out what I want to do and who I want to be.

I want to be Paul C. Mawhinney.

You think I'm kidding or being facetious, but I'm dead fucking serious. Whatever I have to do to achieve three million records, I will do it. I mean, fair enough that I want to basically be Rob Gordon ((which is a fully fleshed-out model for living)), but ( Read more... )

I'm totally in love with the lead alternate in Jersey Boys.

They had me work the pit tonight, which consists of seeting people in make-shift row of folding chairs on a platform constructed over the orchestra pit. Which, at that, mostly consists of telling people not to trip on the little step that's created between the platfrom and the real floor. ( Read more... )

So, yeah, life still blows. I just don't care anymore. Or, at least for now anyway, I'm too tired to care, and the human tendency for self-preservation has taken over. That's not to say that I won't rise to what's expected of me, but I won't worry about the things that don't deserve it and my priorities have shifted. I don't know, maybe it's ( Read more... )

Okay, so this thing has been on my mind for a while now, but for some reason I've yet to actually sit down and put it out there. Well, I just read an article in Strib addressing the topic, thus I figure it's time to stop avoiding it.

I'm not entirely sure what the "turning point" was - whether I began paying closer attention to the trends at work, ( Read more... )

So, me being me, I felt that I should make one of those end-of-the-year-top-ten lists in music. I always thought when people did those sorts of things that they were kinda silly, but there was a lot of really great stuff released this year, and I feel like a lot of quality got overlooked. Also, it's my birthday and I do what I want. Don't get too ( Read more... )
