Hello,
I leave for Paris in 20 days.
Thank you.
So, the date that I went on on Sunday was fun. However, it turns out the guy is a secret jerk-douchebag. That’s never a good thing. I don’t know if he’s actually a secret jerk, but he hasn’t called me yet to hang out again. I even took the initiative and sent him a nice little text, asking him how he was doing. He told me that he had a busy week and that he was going to...
Other Lives - Black Tables
Please, everybody...
I think I’m going on a date tomorrow. Yikes!
OH, I saw Elvis Perkins today. Live, at a record store. Does that even happen any more? Well, I guess it does, and he was incredible! I think everybody needs to listen to his music.
Grizzly Bear - This Song
Oh, how I love this.
Flannery O'Connor (Part 2)
Sorry everybody, now that you’ve got me started, I need to keep giving you little tid bits of O’Connor’s writing. Here is more, just for you:
“‘Of course,’ she said, ‘if you know who you are, you can go anywhere.’ She said this every time he took her to the reducing class. ‘Most of them in it are not our kind of people,’ she said,...
Inspired by Jenni:
Short stories (actually just one):
“He opened the door himslef and started down the walk to get her going. The sky was a dying violet and the houses stood out darkly against it, bulbous liver-colored monstrosities of a uniform ugliness though no two were alike. Since this had been a fashionable neighborhood forty years ago, his mother persisted in thinking they did well to have an apartment...
I don’t like creepy individuals.
Sometimes I wish I could age 30 years in an instant. I like the way people think when they’re older. And, I’m just curious to see the person that I would become. Also, I don’t like many people my age. I don’t like how they think. I know I sound horribly arrogant and disgusting right now, but my goodness, some people who inhabit this earth are just insane. And, a lot of them...
My computer had a mini heart attack/stroke, but it’s recovering now. It’s doing much better.
In other news, I’m freaking out in my mind because I’m going to Paris in April. OMGGGGG! That’s me totally freaking out. I don’t know what to do with myself. And, I’m really happy because no matter what happens in the next month and a half, I have the power to say...

I hate my parents right now.
That’s it.
Bon Iver - Blood Bank
I’m turning into a...
I don’t know what else to tell you people, but I am one hundred percent in love with this man. Anthony Bourdain. Okay, I know it’s a little irrational, and I’m a little crazy (or a lot crazy) for being in love with him, but just look. Just look at how beautiful he is. He is a hot chef. A hot chef. So what if he’s kind of an alcoholic, or that he smokes too much, or that...
Beirut - La Llorona
My new favorite obsession.
I went to see Andrew Bird last night, and wow, he is an amazing man. His whistling abilities are out of this world. I am in love with him.
Hello, world.
I’m sick. Cough. Cough. Cough. Sneeze.
A list.
1. I just realized that i’m updating this thing a lot. It’s kind of cool. 2. I learned a lot of neat trivia about presidents today. Let me go over some of them for you:
William H. Harrison was the first president to die in office and he served the shortest term.
Harrison’s grandson served as president as well (I’m not really sure what years he served, though).
Abraham...
I think my last post almost completely contradicts my earlier post about enjoying being by myself. But, that’s okay.
Anyway, in the spirit of President’s Day (even though it was yesterday), here is a quote from Old Hickory:
“No one need think that the world can be ruled without blood. The civil sword shall and must be red and bloody.” — Andrew Jackson
I think that...
Yikes.
Alright, I hate saying something like this, but life, can you please help me out a little bit? I just want to meet a nice boy. That’s all. Please, it’s about time, okay? It’s freaking about time. I’ve payed my dues. I’ve dated jerks, and the pseudo intellects, and the film geeks, but come on, where is the nice guy? The guy I can actually hang out with and have a good...
Desert.
Here is my dream from last night:
I wanted to travel to the deserts of California or Arizona or one of those places, but I had no way of actually getting there. So, I decided to steal a car. I think I punched some guy and maybe hit somebody else with a bat in order to get the car. I was actually escaping from something, but I don’t know what it was, and the only logical explanation was to...
Most of the time, I enjoy being by myself. Today is one of those days.
Life.
Some ideas that came to me while I was driving to work:
1. I think it would be interesting to write stories about bouncers, bartenders, security people, etc. Basically, whoever works until 2 am during the week and on the weekends. I don’t really want to know about what they’ve seen, but about why they are where they are. Why are they bouncers? Why are they bartenders? Do they have...
I am in love with this song. Elvis Perkins, you...
“Character takes you places that money can’t.”

Question..
Can people comment on these blogs? Sometimes I feel like it would be nice to read a comment or two.
Yes.
I don’t really know how to explain this, but i’m in that weird hungover phase where I feel like I can’t use my brain at all. It’s as if my brain has completely shut off, and it won’t allow me to think. Yes, I understand that i’m thinking now, but it’s actually really difficult to write this. It’s difficult to write this. I can’t seem to think...
Oh no.
Oh no is the new single by Andrew Bird. And, I enjoy it. Very much.
Speaking of Andrew Bird, i’m going to see him live. Yes, live! I’m very excited about this. However, i’m going to see him with a boy who is a bit of an idiot. Okay. Whoever is reading this. PLEASE, don’t let me forget how much of a crazy person Austyn is. PLEASE. He is crazy multiplied by 1000. And, I mean...
Things I plan on doing.
Okay, so I have decided on a few things:
1. I will use this medium as my new dream journal. I need to document the extremely insane dreams that I have on a regular basis. Some of these dreams can be turned into short stories or screen plays. Wow.
2. Paint. I’m going to do it. I even went to Michael’s and investigated their paint supplies. And, hey, they’re not that expensive. I...
Hello, i'm new.
I used to have a blog a long time ago. I think I was 18 when I did. I was kind of silly back in those days. Maybe I have more to write about now. I sure hope so.
