screwing together
I live in a dump. Our tiny townhouse is piled high with crap. There is a path from the front door to the back door, with walkways to the couch and the kitchen. The kitchen is disgusting. We never use it. The few times we’ve eaten together its been takeout on the couch. This is [...]
Freedom of expression
2 more years till I’m free. Free to own my own body, to make my own decisions. Free of a parental unit. Who’s idea was it that 18 is some magical number that makes one able to make sound decisions and demonstrate responsibility and maturity? I know plenty of 30, 40, and 50 year-olds who [...]
Goth much?
I've been curious about what "gothic comics" entail. So far the ones I've run across mostly involve people out clubbing. Is that all goths do? they go out clubbing and complain that the music isn't goth enough? It sounds kinda lame to me. I much prefer visiting cemeteries, and discussing poetry, art, fashion, and music [...]
DIY fashion
I was bored today and surfing the net when I came across the term "buddhist punk". What the hell is buddhist punk? Well, apparently its a fashion label. I suppose, in terms of fashion, one could use the term "punk" to indicate a style borrowed from the London fashion scene and "buddhist" to indicated style [...]
See the dark
I was looking for a pic of passengers on the bus and came across this lovely blog. Lydia brings up some interesting points about social norms and society, like standing on the right side of the escalator so people can pass on the left. That doesn't bother me. Its just something to make the system [...]
The Look
So, I've seen all these web comics. Some of them suck and some of them don't. But I thought it would be fun to make my own….. It took me a month to come up with this lame 2 panel job. A month! I am devoid of inspiration. Even with so much going on [...]
Rocking my world
So the lights go out and the crowd starts to go ballistic. I’m in between four jumping guys with their fists waving over their heads and as far as I can see, no one’s on stage yet. I figured this was a good time to get myself a little room and so I elbowed the guy I didn’t know on my right hard in the ribs. My 2 foot bubble was now secure. A blue light slowly faded on and smoke rolled out of the fog machine as the band came on in near total darkness. I thought the crowd was going crazy before but it went to a whole new level.
My Birthday
It's smoggy on my birthday and we're moving. While my mom and I were packing books in boxes this morning, I said to her, “You know, this is the first time in five years that I haven't been lied to on my birthday.” She asked me what I meant and I replied, “Well, for the [...]
I am an expert on:
The all night talk: with the assistance of copious amounts of coffee. Anyone who I have not had an all night coffee conversation with is not my friend. Hair Dye: I can and will and do dye my hair an unnatural shade, and have done so to somewhat good success. So f#@$ off nice and [...]
Dodge ball
Gin dragged/invited me to Teaism, a strange teahouse down on R street NW yesterday. Someone decided it was a good idea to crash the district brown stones with a Japanese tea house. If I want to have a Japanese experience I would not go to some cracked out place were Douche-Rocket-want-to-be dodge ball teams go [...]
Hey Lookie, an alternative religions shop!
It’s a small hole in the wall; you know, climb three flights of stairs and go all the way down to the end, on the left. It's run by a couple of women. I brought up a book on dtuisum to the register. In response one woman asked the other “can we sell these to [...]
Life sucks, and then you die.
I'm glad to be out of school for the summer, but it just means that the time I spent sleeping in class is now spent dealing with customers. (have you heard of the site "Not Always Right"? I've only just started and I've already had days like that.) Sleeping in class might have been better, [...]
The Man
I was thinking about that Clockwork Orange movie again. I feel like I can relate to Alex. He’s a teenager out having some fun and then his friends betray him and hand him over to The Man, who, naturally, f^@#$ up royally and puts the guy through hell. Then, when they can’t use him as [...]
My FIRST movie review: “A Clockwork Orange”
I just saw the movie "A Clockwork Orange". Some people were talking about it at my coffee shop and it sounded cool so I thought I'd check it out. What an f^@&#$ up movie! I loved all the wild 70's art work. And check out Alex’s flat! I love how his mom has hot pink [...]
It’s allllmost over….
I was getting a ride to school this morning and on my way there I saw seven cars that said “United We Stand” on the license plate; America is so FAT though, how much actual standing do we do? Within five minutes of being in homeroom, someone got kicked out which was awesome because it [...]
Arts and Entertainment
I went to a poetry reading last night. There is just something that pisses me off about the crap that people vomit out and feel they have the right to call it poetry. Just because you have a soapbox doesn’t mean everyone needs or wants to hear you preach or that there is anything special [...]
Next door ghost
Ok little back story on this one before we proceed. I live in an old Victorian house. Old Victorian houses are shaped like crosses. At the center there are spiral staircases from the basement to the upstairs and to the attic. Next door is the same design as my house. They have windows in the [...]
its my first post EVER!
1. Okay this may be strange – blogging and all – but my though is that if I post some of my life online, it might cut back on having to answer so many questions from so many different people because I will only have to type it all out once. 2. What is new [...]
