i gotta say, i was a little surprised. →
i have to admit, they make pretty valid points. i still can’t say i’m a fan but, i guess you have to educate yourself on things before you decide something about them. i mean really, what really separates what they say and what eminem, marilyn manson and other shock rock-type acts say in their lyrics. or used to anyways. i still can’t forgive the idiocy that is...

85 Days, 16 Hours and 25 Minutes.
Mail still arrives for my father. He died almost four years ago. Sometimes it hurts to see the envelopes. Sometimes it feels like a nice reminder. Sometimes it feels like nothing. Strange how normal these feelings become. Three years now I’ve payed permanent tribute on my arm. Inked like I had just startled an octopus. I’d get so much more done with eight arms and legs. I wonder if you...
An Ode to the Sky
Oh great canvas, how the hours paint you. Sometimes I wake to your optimistic rays, though sometimes it’s on darker days. The bright ones I lay and watch you roll on through. I see shapes in your cotton coverings that sail upon you like newspaper schooners. And as the day moves forward, your landscape is lunar. I connect the dots in your freckled smothering. You are looking down on me at...
Dealing about Death
You did your best to support me. Navigating canary yellow taxi cabs through late night urban pavement paths. The meter was the clock that bound you to nights, but you would stay up all day to be with me. We would play chess over glass bottles of coke, rice cakes with cream cheese. You’d almost always let me cheat to win. You loved me more than I could understand at the time and my ignorance...
Look Out Now
More exciting internet tech knowledge comin at’cha. This week we learned about privacy online, and why macs have tighter security than windows computers. This is because of their operating systems. Macs run on Unix which is a stable enviornment, while windows runs on DOS which is not very stable at all. We also learned about encryption which is much like garbbling text that the receiver...

Another Week in Internet Tech...
Once again this week we ventured further into dreamweaver. I didn’t learn much more than from what I already knew last week, but I AM getting a little more fluid of a workflow with it. We also learned how to create a website through google but it was dreadfully boring, and incredibly simplistic, almost to the point of reverting back to difficult.It was so easy that it pined my brain too much...
Another Lesson in the World Of the Internet
This week in class we continued to learn about html and dreamweaver. Dreamweaver is actually a very cool program, and makes designing a website incredibly easy. In the design view you can literally put things as you wish them to appear and then the program will just enter it in html format in the other view. You can do a split view also to see exactly how everything is entered in both forms. We...

Internet Tech Part Two
So once again, I am here to enlighten anyone who cares about my gained knowledge in last weeks class. I must admit this class has shown me how ignorant I am to how the internet operates. Last week we worked with Wikipedia and I was surprised how easy it actually is to just edit the information given to you on that site. It really makes you stop and think how valid some of the information you...
So I've Been Slacking
I’ve supposed to be keeping this thing updated with what I learn weekly in internet technologies but it always slips my mind. Due to this, my first actual update will be a summary of what I’ve learned thusfar. The internet is much different than the world wide web and came way before it. It started in 1948 with networking, but it was actually invetned in 1973 by Ray Tomlinson. The...

silly me
so. another day. not much going on, this waking up at 7 for work thing has more or less killed my afterwork social life during the week, but somehow it doesn’t bother me. i think this is like the structure and responsibility i need. i’m definetly getting my new tattoo within the next few weeks, well i want to. i called pino bros. and the guy i want there is booked till may, so i dont...

i think it went down like this.
so milk was amazing. i cried twice, wont even lie. i cant believe religion had such an impact on society back in the day. its disgusting really, that the one thing people always turn to supports so much hate. fuck religion. everyone just do what you wanna do, if that is religion fine, but dont push it on other people thats totally unfair. a gay person wouldnt try to make you gay so you shouldnt...

when DID life get so real?
so, it’s been a while. not much new to update. it’s been cool to have college kids back, but it also makes it pretty hard to not feel like i’m doing nothing with my life. but i really don’t want to go back to school, if i did it would be a.just to assure myself that i won’t wind up homeless or living with my mom forever and b.just to make my mom happy. neither of...
oh you build me up inside your brittle heart

soooo, semi-big news! april 12th ryan and i are playing the all asia cafe. tickets are 8 if you buy them from me and 10 at the door. but you should totally buy them from me. also we got an offer to be on some compilation cd, and that seem’s pretty legit. i questioned it’s legitimacy at first but then checked out the other cd’s theyve put out and decided it may be a worth...
p.s.
that lyric/poem/whatever below isn’t how i actually think. i shudder to think of the narcissism.
through our bleeding, we are one.
mannn i want afi to tour again soooo bad. i forgot how much i love them. soooo the weekends here, yyaaaaaayyy! murphys not doing so well, which bites. we’re pretty sure she’s on the way out, my mom just might put her down:(. i’ll miss the goofball. so anyways, not much to say. especially since i’m kind’ve trying to get out of my house so i’m gonna go....
some old rant.
so, this is a first, but this is actually more of a rant about something thats sort of been bugging me. so, a few months ago alternative press did a pole on what people thought about the legalization/decriminilazation of marijuana. i thought this was great because you got to hear a lot of different takes on this topic, from kids all over the u.s. and members of some bands that you may or may not...
woah
so last night i had a pretty fucked up dream. i dont remember where it all started. i remember running down the street away from this guy with mike aaron and billy, and he was shooting at us with a revolver. i could like feel the bullets coming anf moved out of the way, and then he wound up shooting himself. needless to say we were freaked because we wanted nothing to do with it. sp we hid in this...
it's my dick in a box. dick in a box babe.
so. new york was pretty good. did that court thang, and as long as i dont get in trouble for 6 months in new york city i’m good. so i’m pretty much in the clear. other than that we pretty much just drank and smoked a bunch. checked out union square and saint marks place. pretty rad. i love the city and i don’t know why. i mean it’s a marvel and wicked awesome to look at,...
although we've come, to the end of the road, still...
yeah. i’m listening to me first cover boys II men. it’s whatever. today was pretty uneventful. played duke nukem which i downloaded on xbox. sooo sweet, took me back to like 7th grade. then worked 4-9, where some old ladies told me i looked like tom brady *blush*, but i don’t see it. i’ll continue to bring it up just to piss off luke and ryan though. anyways then just hung...

oh hey, didn’t see you there….just kidding. so, the week continues to be uneventful, not bad or anything just nothing like extremely exciting. actually, i had the most fucked up dream last night. i was in new york city in a truck with people i didn’t even know when all of a sudden the whole city started to flood like, really bad. we were watching all these car accidents happen...

whatsup? i’m talking to noone lol, it’s alright though. so, the week continues pretty uneventful thanks to the especially lame weather. i feel lost in the monday to thursday existence just waiting for the weekend where i not only was time i waste brain cells. and it never gets old for some reason, and that could potentially be bad but for now i’m not too too concerned. i think...
if you liked it then you shoulda put a ring on it
hey there hi there ho there. just kidding i’m not from michigan or anything. so, yesterday to today was pretty uneventful, just worked 4-9. then went to germano’s with billy and we smoked and watched entourage. after that we called dan and zack who proceeded to take us on a two hour long adventure to find an open taco bell, resulting in us giving up and just getting wendy’s. go...

sooo...?
yea, i guess i decided to join the blogging community instead of going on myspace and using that blog. so not only will i be using this like my myspace one as a place to post my lyrics/poems/short stories etc. i will probably use it to just vent and clue anyone who’s interested in on my day to day. so this one i’m going to keep short as i gotta head to work in an ill minnnute....
