Department of Obsure (But Amazing!) Music Videos
What’s that? You to hear a song that name-checks biblical heroes, J.D. Salinger and Mad Magazine? But it has to be hip-hop and sung by three Jewish boys? Ok, ok, anything else? The music video must feature a fight between a bull and a grizzly bear? Alright, check. It’s got to be rotoscoped in proto-Waking [...]

Introspectionville, Bloghio County
I have stayed up all night reading my past posts on this blog. I kind of figure that before I finally move on to a new blog (which has been a transition I’ve been making ever since coming back from the Comic-Con it seems, actually) I should come to terms with what this particular journey [...]

Date-Watch 2006
The young woman who I asked out to dinner has begun postponing for ambiguous reasons, leading me to believe that, rather than the stated delay of one week, our date is on hold indefinetely. This is pretty much ok with me, for reasons I won’t elaborate on right now because I am about to go [...]

OC Hippies
I think that Orange County probably has less hippies than anywhere I’ve lived, besides perhaps South Dakota, which is too downtrodden, desolate and full of real nature to properly ferment Flower Children. Most of the coastal cities have their share of beach bums, who share the hippies affection for mild hedonism, convenient spirituality, general uncleanliness, [...]

Romanticizzzzed
Moments ago, for what I have figured is something like only the second time in my life, I asked an actual girl on an actual date. It was not even that hard, apart from trying to not spontaneously combust before I actually asked her. It is scheduled for “sometime next week.” If she flees the [...]

City of Orange: feel the night
The best part about the tiny room that I rent for $650 a month is that I’ve got a door that leads directly to a suitable backyard with a lawn and a patio and a grill and some flowers and an abandoned shed and everything. Tonight I was inspired to step outside and take in [...]

Weblog Vagabond
Once again I’m transitioning to a new weblog as I begin to transition to a new phase in my life. For whatever reason, WHERE I write things is important to me, and even when I kept a journal in spiral-bound notebooks I would think of each one as a different volume of my life. So [...]

Never Forget…
It’s hard to believe that I had only been in college for a few weeks when a phone call woke me up at what had quickly become an unthinkable hour in the morning, somewhere around 7:30 a.m. I wish I could get back the unspoiled optimism and boundless energy I had in those first endless [...]
