In the beginning, there was nothing. What a way to start a religion by using nihilism.
This will just be a test and hopefully this stuff looks better and better.
Note 8/27/15: This is the very first LiveJournal entry I made. There is some overlap between LJ and my website entries over the next months before becoming almost exclusively LJ for a year or so. I don’t think any distinction needs to be made since I’m embarrassed by all of this. But for the sake of posterity, right?
The local news has read more like an obituary than anything else. The big incident was the guy plowing into 5 people and a dozen cars on Saturday night. Then there has been a mail-bombing and a suicide to throw into the mix. It’s been a bottle of joy here in Santa Barbara. On top of that I’ve been a bit whorish as of late (if you don’t think that’s traumatic, well you have another thing coming to you). I blame all of this on the weather. We need some sort of balance of our neurochemicals that the rain fucks up. It’s just that.
On a much different note, I have a couple of graphical ideas jotted down for the page. It will take longer than I anticipated doing these things. I also have several job offers that I am highly thinking about also. So it’s been a bit busy to say the very least.
I WILL finish this page. I promise.
This weekend was my trampy weekend. Evidence:
Boy#1: Had a crush on. I see him off and on.
Boy#2: Started making out with him at a party on Friday night. I left some “battle wounds” so to speak. Much fun. Falling for him.
I had a date with Boy#1 last night and he flaked. So that takes him off the list.
Outlook: Less trampy days with Boy#2.
Resolutions:
– Buy more shoes.
– Take a vacation.
– Publish something, anything.
– Get a cell phone.
I spent New Years in San Francisco and had a blast. I’m an LA boy so it was quite breathtaking going to clothing stores in the midst of skyscapers. One of these days I will make it to New York.
Work!
Here are some more albums that I completely forgot about while doing this Top Ten list thingee.
Milemarker — Frigid Forms Sell
Sound of Water — St. Etienne
The Best of… — Blur
I’m realizing more and more that I’m starting to burn out. A vacation would sound nice right about now. I’m just tired of work, friends, my apartment, etc. Going away sounds really nice. I can probably become a better person at the end of it. I don’t know. Just someone let me out!!!
I’m a sucker for lists. So here’s my Top Ten list:
1. Kid A — Radiohead
2. One Mississippi — J Church
3. The Fifth Release from Matador — Pizzicato 5
4. Stories from the City, Stories from the Sea — PJ Harvey
5. NYC Ghosts and Flowers — Sonic Youth
6. March to Fuzz — Mudhoney (no original songs, I know, but still good to listen to)
7. Suzuki — Tosca
8. Earth Odyssey — The Get Hustle
9. Music — Madonna
10. Breakup of the Smashing Pumpkins. It’s about fucking time!
I think I can conjure the tracklist for the CD I burned last night.
1. Where Is My Mind? – Nada Surf (I know. I don’t like them either, but it’s actually pretty decent.)
2. Sugar Water (remix by Mike D, Russell Simmons and Yuka Honda) – Cibo Matto
3. Coffee and TV (live) – Blur
4. Baby One More Time – Travis (a hilarious cover. I truly enjoyed it.)
5. Dancing the Manta Ray – Pixies (They like manta rays.)
6. Novocaine (live on some radio show) – the eels
7. C’Mon Billy (live on World Cafe) – PJ Harvey
8. The National Anthem (live on SNL) – Radiohead
9. Beercan (live) – Beck
10. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Barbie Dolls – Pizzicato 5 (I just love this one way too much)
11. Touch Me I’m Sick – Sonic Youth (from the infamous split single with Mudhoney)
12. Manta Ray – Man or Astroman?
13. My Black Ass (live) – Shellac (I’m going to see them next month!!!!!)
14. Slunk (live) – Smashing Pumpkins
15. Two Beats Off (live) – Fugazi
16. Anisette (live) – June of 44
I like this CD a whole lot.
I know it’s been a long time. I’ve been busy exploring my bourgeoisie tastes in Santa Barbara. I’ve been working like a dog and been more or less catankerous for the last month or so. Other than that, nothing much has been happening. I’ve also been taking care of my apartment which has been left in a state of disrepair due to my longing for my roommate to pick up his finger (I have since given up and have cleaned parts of it regularly).
Plans: redesign of this site so that it will be less painful for me when I do updates. A writing project that involves humor, fiction, autobiography and pornography. Nothing too bad, nothing too good. It’ll be an attempt to say the least.
And one more thing: I am over drugs. Did acid for the last time a couple of weekends ago (exactly 3 years after I did acid for the first time, which was my first drug). So there. Now I have red wine and Godiva chocolate. Mmmmm….
