Juniper Trees

5:04 Pm at work. Thought I'd bust some free association.

Ultra bright florescent lights humming and hanging over me. Desk a mess, just cleaned a plate of buttered popcorn with flavored salt followed by a power-white donut aka fang sinking puffs of greatness. Going to scarf some seafood in a bit with the renewal sales team. Lobster rolls, sourdough bread, and an assortment of other sea life I presume. Passing the time - our reservation is at 6:00. Took me 5 minutes to write that. I guess I'm not really free-associating. If I was it'd go something like this....turd baskets explode with eruptive force as the M-80 slim shady stick a dyno goes rhino stabbing esophegus pancreatic fat matter. Surely, I'm insane like 47 dwarfs in a catapillar line, outfit is elf sweats embroidered with sigfreid and roy lions glistening with rave sparklets purchaed from Michaels. Dirty dancing Baby and Swaze eskimo kissing while flamencoing into the night. This is the time of you life having. Life having nothing but blue furn meadows arms out airoplaning through creating alien crop fields Nesse couldn't mess with.

Crotch tight jeans - semi snug, semi torturous, semi - woodrow all in one shot = semi ridiculous suffocation devise made socially feasable by emo standards. Tickle me elmo is grover painted red with a vice gripped tightly around scrotum causing squeeky pontificiations of non-sense. But we all spew non-sense. Spew like radio-active snot traversing down a rusty tube splashing rapidly on the crinkly forehead of an asian Grandmother on her way to Ranch 99 to buy some 2 for 1 catfish.

Being human during Christmas

My family is going to have a gift exchange this year. Instead of buying gifts for everyone, we just need to buy for 1 person. I was paired up. We each answered questions about our qualities, likes, hobbies, interests etc. so that the person we're paired with can get an idea of what to buy us. This list was sent via email and cc'd to each of the relatives participating. I just feel like things are a little off with this. Although this makes the process, much more streamline, efficient, and affordable; there seems to be a lack of humanity in this process. Understandably, times are tough and wallets are tight. But, I can't seem to buy into this idea so I'm proposing a new idea.

Too often, people are at the mall at the last minute scurrying to buy presents or they get their Christmas shopping done way ahead of time to get it over with. The meaning surrounding the gift, although arguably a symbol of thoughtfulness and sincerity, doesn't entirely in my opinion, establish the connection that ought to be established. The T-shirt will eventually be stuffed at the bottom of the drawer, the jewelry kept in a safe, and the new Jordans getting replaced by a revival release the next season. I'm not saying that I'm anti gift giving. I'm merely questioning if too much emphasis is placed on "gift-giving" to the point where it becomes obligatory, mechanical, routinized, and diminishes the feeling of having truly given and/or received something meaningful.

I'm proposing creating a "thank you letter" for each person who has played a role in shaping your life. I can't help but feel that this gift would strengthen the bond that you share with the people closest to you, or create a bridge to bring you closer to those with whom you'd like to be closer. A declaration of your feelings for someone may be perceived as too mushy or effeminate in some circles, but I view it as truthful, genuine, authentic - a display of what it really means to be human - at the core what it means to give and receive appreciation. To me, someone's thank you would mean more than the latest and greatest article of clothing, an expression of gratitude uncannily exhibited by a friend would outshine the brightest bling, including a Jesus piece. I'm trying to redirect myself in the direction of what it means to be human. What it means to be vulnerable, courageous, loving, humorous, and giving in a world that tends to shield emotion, and promote materialism. I think being clear on defining and sharing these most precious qualities is important especially around the holidays when family and friends are within reach.

I'm committed to accomplishing the letter writing campaign this Christmas. Since we're kind of all writers here, maybe you all could join the fun. No pressure, its only your humanity at stake.

Re: Save the Whales Hate Your Parents

I hate the idea of talking to people. I always feel like this is work when it really shouldn't be. You're just having a conversation. You ask questions, they respond with their thoughts, their feelings. They ask you stuff, you respond. That's all it is. I can't understand why I can't just talk to someone without second guessing myself, or I won't tell someone how I really feel.

I don't feel so reserved around you guys of course, but to be honest I still regret things that I say. I won't hold back, but I won't be happy inside. I can't believe I said that. You try to reassure me, that whatever I said wasn't weird or awkward at all. Still, I don't always believe you.

I like music, and games that the masses don't like or don't know about. It feels so fickle sometimes though. I've lightened up slightly in terms of music(as you will see in my upcoming Albums of the Year posts). I don't really know where I'm going with this. I would like to believe that a band like Rilo Kiley actually kinda sucks now, but I might just think that because they get air play inside Chili's now. If you told me that I would hear Rilo Kiley while eating a burger at Chili's in 2001, I would bet my Gamecube on that. Then I wouldn't have a Gamecube. Then I would be sad. There has to be some truth to the idea that once you are in the spot light, you change your ideas to accommodate the masses. I have to make something that everyone loves. I have to dumb this down to reduce the chances of becoming niche.

I am afraid I can't take care of myself. I mean I do the basic things I need to do to survive. I work, I eat, I entertain myself. I don't want to kill myself because I fear the afterlife, and just the idea of that is kinda lame. I am not fucking happy at all though, and I think it is too difficult to change. I like to blame my parents for doing too much for me. I think that's a pretty common thing in Filipino families, but everyone responds to their environments differently. Some people can develop into normal adults who are satisfied with their lives. I feel guilty for blaming my parents. I don't just blame them. I blame myself too.

I have the ability to change things, but I have no will. Also, it's just easier to wait. Things will work themselves out. Everything will be fine when(if)I move back to California. I don't know if I mentioned this in a previous post already, but I am accepting the fact that I hate Chicago. I really wanted to come here, but I just don't like it here. Great town, plenty of bars, good music, good parks, but I have no one to enjoy these things with. Anyway, back to my point, I'm just so sure that moving away from here will solve my problems. Who knows if I'll be happier? Maybe I'll get more depressed, but I really don't believe it can get any shittier than how it is now.

It is snowing like crazy outside. I hate snow.

Welcome CB4 and sneaks to the community.

What do you want from this blog?

Save the whales hate your parents

I haven't felt this alive in a long time. Over the weekend, I took the Landmark Forum. It is a seminar on improving quality of life and living authentically. In the Forum, you explore the stories you create for yourself and how these stories or ideas limit the ability to create possibilities in your life. "I'm a nerd". "I'm a morning person." "I'm only into hip-hop and have to eat mochi ice-cream for desert". "I only like Filipino girls and they only like me". You essentially block out the possibility of being or experiencing anything else. You create a story, an image, a persona and all of these things you believe to be "true" about yourself. These are not truths. They are merely opinions or views created by you.

If you view yourself as a "shy" person for example. You have general ideas of what the word shy means, as confirmed by the public at large. The definition of the word is then agreed upon by you. You thereby apply the definition to yourself and create a story for yourself as being "shy". In essence you create a view of yourself as a "shy person" because of your relationship with language associated with the word. Darn language. I need to elaborate on this more but I don't have the brain power.

I think I just went down a rabbit hole. I should get back out. But back to the forum, I've never experienced connecting with other human beings on such a profound level. Over the last few days, I've dramatically reduced my tendency to label and categorize people and be more in the moment of a conversation versus already having preconceptions and ideas about who the person is, what I should say or do to gain approval, etc. Its as if I'm throwing out the stories I have created about people and letting conversations evolve from nothing. I feel in-tuned, spontaneous, and and non-judgmental. I'm beginning to realize what it feels like to be a human "being" - to see through the vale of language and into whatever mysterious shit that's so beautiful.

Off the meds

I have too many games to play. I don't understand why game developers won't fucking release games during the summer when there's nothing to play. I'm trying to finish Mirror's Edge, Gears of War 2, and Chrono Trigger while trying to fit in some Left 4 Dead sessions, and I just got Prince of Persia in the mail. I really don't have time to cram all of these games before the year's over, and I really want to make an informed Top 10 list before the years over. I won't even try to play Fable II or Fallout 3. It's just not possible. Oh yeah, I just bought a whole lot of No Doubt songs for Rock Band 2. Kinda stupid considering what's on my plate, but Andie will be on call tomorrow, so hopefully I can finish Mirror's Edge and put a big dent in Gears and Prince. That's my plan anyway. I might just go watch Milk because I don't want to stay home alone all day. Who knows.

I feel so much better since I stopped taking Paxil. It's been three days now, and I'm starting to get my appetite back, and I haven't worried about anything really. At least more than normal. I've been even sleeping better and at a more consistent time. I'm still taking ambien, but at least I'm not taking it and just staying up all night. I have to appreciate the little victories. Fuck my stupid doctor. Here, just take this and be gone from my sight. How about I switch doctors or something? I know that anti-depressants are trial and error, but I can't help but hate the guy at the moment. I have a follow up appointment on Monday, and I have a feeling he'll just prescribe something else, but I'm going to fight him hard. I don't want to take anything. I won't be surprised if I fucking write here a few days later something like Well that didn't work out so well, and now I'm on this or that. I really need to move back to the Bay. That'll make me feel better. That's probably the only thing that'll make me feel better, but I got to sweat it out(or freeze it out) for a few more months. I'm sorry, I don't want to whine, or complain.

Albums of the year coming.

8am to 3pm, part 1

Do you ever wake up from a dream that feels so real its almost as if you're not waking up at all? That the time spent in that REM reality was as strong as a reality as turning off your alarm? Nothing fantastical or fulfilling, not even profoundly depressing; just as mundane as when you make coffee and check your e-mail while it brews, just as empty as when you check your hair in the mirror and wondering if your hair is thinning. The zombie life is no life to live and there are spurts of excitement as you meander in that time that the world allows you to meander. Sometimes something unexpected happens and it reminds you of how exciting it can be, how wonderful making coffee is, how proper grooming is essential. And then you go back to sleep and they become a calculated sequence of events once again and it is tough. "This is water," I keep reminding myself as if I've replaced the Lord's Prayer with the mantra of a man who committed suicide with 10x the level of my awareness and excitement of unraveling the world (surely if he tapped out, how can I cope -- by telling myself this is water). Oh well, got to drink this coffee and fall in love all over again as if every hour is a relationship that ends, a continuous string of one night stands that float by the wayside until you fall in love all one more tme, finding things from the past relationships that allow you to hold on hope for a bliss that one can frame in your dusty heart.




Once upon a time, when classrooms used chalkboards and school computers were limited to how many bullets you should buy before hitting the Oregon Trail, there was a group of children in uniforms. The boys would wear baby blue collared shirts with navy blue slacks. The girls would wear plaid-red jumpers with white button-up collared shirts. It was a class of roughly 30 that, aside from the occasional transfers or new kid(s), pretty much saw each other 9 months out of the year. Girls would get periods and develop breasts. The boys would fake wars and eventually learn what the term blow job was, which would usually be followed by laughter and comedic fascination.

Friendships would form, alliances would gather, reputations acquired, preferences were developed, love would blossom, hatred festered, jokes played out, teachers despised, authority would be tested. Approval was determined by your sociable skills, your level of power over the rest of this class and thus determining the weak links or scapegoats of this group -- by characteristics or features such as a well-documented broken home or the fact that your 12-year hair was stringy and your forehead was big. If the rest of this group found out you liked a certain person of the opposite sex, it would suddenly reach around the rest of the class. If your social standing was strong, then it would be of even greater importance to this group, sometimes reaching the ears of separate younger groups that had similar social protocol.



This controlled social dynamic was to prepare these limitlessly-potentialled mounds of clay for even larger packs, ones which were romanticized as being more mature and adult. This organized, accepted method would lead you to greater heights and understandings as human beings and whatever happened afterwards would just be a means to separate the wheat from the chaff, social Darwinism. But the idea was if you were to give these 30 children the same weaponry and arm them with uniformed knowledge then the potential can be further suited and although there were flaws, which there were, it was better than an alternative isolation of home schooling that limited your knowledge of social awareness, or so it looks. I am not one to argue for or against such debates. I am only here to document an "innocence" that I treat with reverence and love.

I am a grade school historian.

Crazy africana

Pdid, can't believe you remember that crazy black chic. She did drop E that one time at Cj's pad and she lusting after Jtron. She went ballistic though. I remember all of us hiding behind CJ's couch because she was getting hella rowdy. LOL. She had a crazy as S-curl and semi-wet jerry. Jtron was like "o-ish, o-ish" skyprancing like he do. That chic used to smoke crank too and her eyes were always wild looking. I can barely remember the time she ranted about law and order but I can hella see it. I went with her to the mall to buy raver pants... Thanks for the words of wisdom chief...Get caught up in me head sometimes...

All eyez on me - Kaput

Pierre thought I should write about my experience at a New Orleans male strip club. I suppose I've shared this story several times whenever asked people have asked me about how New Orleans was, but I can't fully describe the richness of my experience as its been some time and my feelings seem detached from what otherwise should be a highly stimulating, palpable interaction with one of the jazziest, sexiest coolest places on earth. I'd say that is definitely one of my weak points, telling stories - stories from my life in particular. I think it could be a combination of indifference or an inability to fully enjoy my experiences, and a highly irrational belief that whatever I utter out of my mouth should sound entertaining and that wandering eyes translate into my inability to sound interesting. Sort of suffer from a need to please and make people feel comfortable, could be part Filipino accommodation trait / never being able to fully solidify a reasonably consistent sense of certainty in myself. The latter has always baffled me. This constant doubting tends to surface. I've found that in general I prefer to talk for short period of time. My reflective capacity and ability to articulate my thoughts clearly drastically reduces when I'm speaking to 3 or more people at once. I feel as though the task of having to to simultaneously entertain all 3 people at once causes me to focus on delivering an attention grabbing string of words that superficially entice versus taking the time to convey what I'm actually thinking in a reflective and insightful manner. There's this need for speed, to stage dive off the platform of prolonged attention because gazing eyes make me feel the need to entertain, to capitulate a highly exaggerated story which bears no significance except to make it seem like I'm half interesting and am not a prototypical quiet Asian that passively complies and has a penchant for rhetorical question asking to remain on safe ground (too lazy to give examples). However, I've come to accept that part of myself...

Like most Filipinos, I do laugh after I make statements to mollify seemingly tense situations. I say "that's cool" as a filler phrase to smoothen out conversations. I suppose the overt laughter and smiling is something I can safely say is uniquely Filipino. Before Manny Pacquio entered the ring before fighting Oscar Dela Hoya, he was smiling and giving the crowd high-fives. Oscar, on the other hand, was contorting his face to look menacing and like most boxers entered the ring with a quasi-pissed off demeanor. Only a Filipino can encounter a serious-ass situation and smile about it. The need to ease the tension...Easy kids.

Its about 1:32 Am in the morning. I should crash or I'll struggle to get out of bed 6 hours from now. I never made it to the male stripper story, but maybe next time..Fell into a bit of a psycholalytic trap, but I think it was pretty theraputic nonetheless.

A FOOLISH Consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds....

notice tons of button-mashing include those leters above, the initial ones and not really the latter because we have been trained.



Who do we root for as human beings? We might root for the "Rated G" type of fellow who hustles his way into a Heather Grahamish heart, we root for our own ethnic hero who trains hard as hell after listening to our ethnic national anthem. We probably root for people that we don't know based on assumptions that are warm and sweet.



I think 808s and Heartbreak is actually a pretty good record in a "Nebraska" sorta way. I hope he succeeds regardless of what you think of his hubris. I think all of us secretly would like to make an album about a bitch and the vulnerabilities of an immediate death. Wanna type some more but I am tired.

Special Guest NPR

stubborn tenpin: are you busy

stubborn tenpin: shes gonna leave me again for a month so i really gotta keep the ambien going
nun panty raid: does the ambien help you cope with her not being around?
nun panty raid: it's so hard to meet people when you move to a new place.
nun panty raid: it makes me think of nyc and how you have to really really throw yourself out there and move outside of your comfort zone constantly to make friends and even then sometimes it doesn't materialize or you can't connect.
nun panty raid: so it's nice to have your significant other there.
stubborn tenpin: i do appriciate her so much
stubborn tenpin: the bad thing is ive become so clingy
stubborn tenpin: i mean she could have left me for a month and then i would have been fine, but that didnt happen
stubborn tenpin: ive never had to deal with a flood, i had to rearrange the apartment on my own, clean the floor, and i just wished andrea could hear me
stubborn tenpin: i need her to make choices for us
stubborn tenpin: and i need her to keep myself happy
stubborn tenpin: but when she leaves for long periods...its so dead over here
stubborn tenpin: cause i have no one to kick it with, so i just come home every night
stubborn tenpin: watch tv
stubborn tenpin: eat frozen meal
stubborn tenpin: then it gets really slow after dinner
stubborn tenpin: i should go to be
stubborn tenpin: i want topost this though with your permissios
nun panty raid: yes you definitely have my permission
stubborn tenpin: alright
stubborn tenpin: sorry
nun panty raid: doyou really feel that way alvin?
stubborn tenpin: ive just had a lot on my mind lately
nun panty raid: about needing her to feel happy?
stubborn tenpin: yeah i struggle with that
stubborn tenpin: ive sorta spoiled her
stubborn tenpin: at first i didnt mind, but you make bad habits
nun panty raid: do you think that if given time, you could be happy on your own. not meaning a split, just being comfortable in your own skin
stubborn tenpin: right now id say no
nun panty raid: yeah, it's difficult to break certain cycles in relationships, but i don't think impossible.
stubborn tenpin: but i knew a time where there would have been a chance
nun panty raid: when would you say that is?
stubborn tenpin: just like when we started dating, you know
stubborn tenpin: i just let the women get whatever
stubborn tenpin: so its manifested into things like bi weekly massages, her picking the restaurant, not wanting to see the nightlife
nun panty raid: but i think that you can change that now, if you want to. it's just going to take a serious transitional period. and a lot is probably going to have to happen before you reach that point if you're both willing to move that direction.
stubborn tenpin: i mean yeah shes busy but there were opportunities
stubborn tenpin: i coudlnt even bring her if i wanted to shed want to go home at 11
stubborn tenpin: so i would just go alone
stubborn tenpin: but im so tired of going out alone
nun panty raid: do you think you could tell her that it means a lot to you for you to be able to pick the restaurant. like when you guys are deciding one night. is there an open dialogue about those kinds of things or would that be hard?
nun panty raid: i understand that
stubborn tenpin: its not like she ever asks, she just never wants to go to wheerever i ask
stubborn tenpin: it really doesnt matter to me because i can always find something to eat
nun panty raid: yeah, so it's not really worth making an issue out of right
nun panty raid: ?
nun panty raid: if you did suggest another place and insisted on going there, do you think it would cause conflict?
nun panty raid: i'm sorry to ask so many questions
stubborn tenpin: yeah i went over it with my therapist. youre right thats what she said, but for some reason i bring it up because its an easy example
stubborn tenpin: i really appriciate the questions
stubborn tenpin: i have all of this inside of me with no one to talk about it to
stubborn tenpin: i still feel shitty for even talking about all of this with you
stubborn tenpin: if i suggested a place and really wanted to go there, she will either say go by yourself, or try it but shell end up picking something she hats so she wont go there again
stubborn tenpin: if i go alone and i tell her its good, then shell want to go
nun panty raid: don't feel bad about telling me. i feel more clued in with what's going on in your life.
stubborn tenpin: ive wanted to tell you
stubborn tenpin: but we keep missing each other
nun panty raid: how do you feel about everything?
nun panty raid: yeah i feel like we haven't really been able to catch up.
stubborn tenpin: im overwhelmed, and stressed out
nun panty raid: how do you feel towards andrea?
nun panty raid: have you harbored any resentment?
stubborn tenpin: right now very clingy. it feels like my whole job is to make sure she finishes med school
stubborn tenpin: then shell take care of me
nun panty raid: or are there certain things that you really want/need from her that you feel that you can't ask for anymore?
stubborn tenpin: sex
stubborn tenpin: lol
stubborn tenpin: i ask jokingly
stubborn tenpin: but yeah its always when she wants to
nun panty raid: i remember you telling me about this before.
stubborn tenpin: she cant do it whenever it want to but at least have some compromise
stubborn tenpin: even with errands, she'll forget to do them
nun panty raid: yeah, that's tricky because there's no real way to ask for it. plus, people hold their genitals hostage if they aren't in the mood, i think.
stubborn tenpin: oh yeah im familiar with that

More Left 4 Dead gushing

Guys, Left 4 Dead is so good. I wish everyone had that game. It's so much fun getting overwhelmed by zombies, getting grabbed from behind, saving your friends, FUCK IT'S AWESOME. I can only imagine the maddness if the Skweeze played that game. We would play that shit for like three weeks before going back to Smash Bros. Maybe. L4D is really good, but I can't say playing it with everyone would top all those Smash sessions. That's all.

unknown title 1

I fight about it. I shouldn't look into mirrors as a I make trip to the bathroom not more than 15 steps. My half opened eyes are watching the confused appendages. Typos, pausing. What was I saying.

I look at myself at every available opportunity. I smile at my self very briefly.Then I look at the rest of my body mostly focusing on my shoes. I bought those shoes over the Summer r at a local Foot Locker. I look at them because are something I want but would never wear. "Nice shoes, Spiz." "Where you get those?" I told them at the Foot Locker. "You take care of them now." "...sure"

I walk everywhere. I have these shoes and my winter boots, and the boots never come out unless it's snow or below 10.

Someone hits me with their Dunkin Donuts cup. Smelled like something cocoanut. "You fuckface!" GO inside and get me a large coconut coffee, yeh JACKAZZ. I was starring to long at the creases in my brown khaki's.

I am very conscious. I take baby steps, look 5 times when I cross the street. How cou;D I have missed that I never miss.

JJ Abrams' Star Trek might end up being awesome no doubt....

But OG Star Trek will always have the honeys

HAPPY THANKSGIVING (The day after the fact: Final post, promise)

I've sat in and around, my DSL connection screwy as fuck, trying to post. I went to Margaux's for Thanksgiving with her family and pigged the fuck out and caught up on some choir singing reality, watched the first season of "Taxi" and fell the hell asleep in someone else's bedroom.

My DSL connection is stupid in a pejorative sense (not in the hyphy sense) so believe you me I would've called, interrupted your beautiful routines and wished you happy thanksgiving in a sober state.

It feels obligatory to post the things you are thankful for but I'm not really up for it because in all honesty I am thankful for everything, really, and that would be too short for a list. Even the things I kind of resent or am currently figuratively giving the **SHAKES FIST** at I don't mind I just rather they vamoosed.




I've lost track of time doing the patronizing dance, doing the jig, jive soft shoe for the inconsiderates and the indifferent. I've attempted to stop putting up with it, or at the very least lower my tolerance. If someone wants to usurp every precious ticktockery the clock is willing to allow us humans for the sole purpose of their bullshit then I seem more willing to indirectly call them on it or at the very least cut short their time although I'm not gonna front like I'm not terminally a pushover. I admire their candor and in a different circumstance I would spend enough time to relate with them on a "HEY I LIKE THE SOUND OF A MARBLE BALL ROLLING ON WOOD FLOORS TOO" sorta way.

Basically I am thankful for everything.

Mouthwash by Kate Nash




2Pac died when he was 25 years-old but if I look back it felt like the guy was at least in his 30s, with what he went through though his mindset was definitely a guy in his early-to-mid 20's. I know for a fact he'd have cried on November 4, 2008 or at least is crying in Cuba with an Obama shirt on.

He's done a whole shitload more than most people in a quarter-century of a lifetime. I pour out some mineral water for that guy on Thanksgiving.

If I really forced a list of what I am thankful I guess I would definitely put "the internet" on it for reasons that have made me enjoy the internet this past week. You kind of forget how catching up doesn't have to be making new memories by continuously stringing together past memories, a pastiche copy + paste sampling of previous moments and instead creating new ones, inventing new ways to feel human rather than remembering we once were human.

Taxi after Thanksgiving dinner: although that television show hasn't aged badly at all, what I will remember far more than Danny Devito dropping verbal assaults on all people taller than him will be the image inbetween the television and me, a collective group of people that decided they will share their time with each other sitting and laughing.




Maybe one day we will travel time or find extraterrestrial creatures or cure cancer or make babies using that Demolition Man contraption that Sandra Bullock and Sly Stallone used to do it (and do it and do it well. I represent Queens she was raised out in Brooklyn). But to be honest with you nothing can trump human accomplishment than making someone's heart swell.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING (con't.)

HAPPY THANKSGIVING

Hope your holidays are warm inside and outside. Hope CJ and Estrella's engagement party is the same.

This is the best picture ever and I just really needed an excuse to post it everywhere I go.

Too Lazy to Make a Cohesive Post

I'm copying your format P. It's lazy, but reading your last two posts enticed me.

-My Xbox just left Missouri on it's way to Texas to get repaired and gain another year of life before it dies again, but that might be wishful thinking. I track that shit on UPS constantly(I'M SORRY I HAVE NOTHING IN MY LIFE)

-It's starting to get really cold, but we haven't had any serious snow yet. Just some random flurries. I told some people back in California we were having flurries and they had no idea what I was talking about. They also said it was getting cold there as well. Like 50 degrees cold. So I said I hate you.

-I played a lot of Mario Kart Wii over the weekend, but I don't think I was in the right state of mind. I mean I had just lost my Xbox, so I played that game just to play something and I was being bitter and vindictive toward the game. It's not the Wii's fault really. I went back and forth feeling Stupid baby game, it's so easy to win I'm dusting these stupid babies, no challenge to Stupid baby game, why does it have to cheat, fucking punishing me for being so good, lucky babies. I really do love Mario Kart. I used to play the fuck out of it earlier in the year and it's the best online experience on the Wii because there is rarely lag, there's always people to play against, and you get to do a whole fucking race instead of being limited to timed matches like Super Smash Bros Brawl. Only being able to play 2 minute games in public matches killed the online experience in Brawl for me. At least in Mario Kart it feels like you played a complete game. That game is going to make the list for best games of the year for sure. You all know how much I like teh Kart gamez. I was the only one to get Double Dash on Gamecube, but we didn't really play it because I had no competition in that game. Playing Melee was more fun anyway, but I'm getting sidetracked by nostalgia as usual. Still the Wii's online interface is so fucking behind the times and too restricting. I wish I could yell at those mother fuckers who keep picking Luigi Circuit, but alas in the Wii space, no one can hear you scream. Xbox Live puts Nintendo's online infrastructure to shame.

-I am really looking forward to Thanksgiving. We will be going to one of Andrea's friends' apartment so I won't have to chop vegetables, although I guess I will offer my services. It's the polite thing to do. I'll get my hands on a 360 controller for some of the night because my friend Ryan has a 360, so I can get my a quick Gears 2/Left 4 Dead fix. Not only that but there will be football, good white people food, beer, wine, and leftovers. No fucking work. Oh man.

-CRAP CHROMEO WAS ON XBOX LIVE PLAYING GUITAR HERO 3 AND I HAD NO XBOX TO PLAY AGAINST THEM WITH STUPID

-I hate all the TV shows that I've been keeping up with. My DVR is full of stuff that I just am not interested in watching. Heroes is fucking repeating the exact same storyline from Season One. They see the future and it's the end of the world. They have to save Clare again. I am sticking with it though because I have a hard time dropping shows once I've invested in them. Grey's Anatomy though I wish I could stop watching, but I never will because Andrea won't stop watching it. Two words to describe the most recent episode: Ghost Sex. Yeah, really. Sanctuary is fucking hilarious because the green screen use is obvious and abundant. Life on Mars I thought I was going to get into, but I haven't watched past the pilot, but I have all the episodes on my DVR. The only shows that I still enjoy and have to watch are Jon and Kate Plus 8 because they're white and asian and have 8 fucking kids(The plot writes itself!), and The Office but even that is starting to fall off. It's still pretty funny though. I need to jump back on The Wire, and I hear How I Met Your Mother is really good, but I can't just start watching it. I'm neurotic and I need to start from Season One. 30 Rock too.

-Nevermind, I couldn't have played with Chromeo because I sold Guitar Hero 3 a long time ago. That game sucks.

Nothing in Particular: Quick n' dirty grab bag

-Esquire Magazine is celebrating their 75th anniversary by republishing their seven greatest stories online. I've read Tom Junod's "The Falling Man" and have seen the documentary, both probably the best 9/11 article that's been written, looking at the human factor in fine detail as opposed to broad strokes. I've heard really stuff about CJ Shiver's "The School" and I'm planning on reading that when I have time.

It also contains this.

-In the great mp3 breakdown of 2008 wherein my laptop is straight vegetable status I've lost a shitload of music, school documents, files, pornography that I hate having, a handful of words I was going to use for future projects and pictures that say 1,000 words each (most oft-used word of the thousands when seeing those pictures: "what the fuck...") and I'm trying to rebuild them. If any of you guys have "Stand On the Word" by Celestial Choir please please please send it my way and I will provide proper compensation (a polite "thank you"?). As an aside, "Don't Rush Me" by Jean Grae has been my pep talk song since I've moved to the Philippines and it's nice that it's released proper in a very well-made album with the sickest alternate album covers.



-Fantasy football is consuming me, yelling at the television, the laptop. Tony Kornheiser is annoying me and he's my hack journalist dog, parlaying average into entertaining so it pains me to say that he sucks in the booth.

-Probably the funnest blog around right now (read: not my favorite or the best) is 1001 Rules For My Unborn Son. I don't necessarily agree with everything, but conceptually its execution is kind of on-point.

-Dancing in your underwear: Great thing or the greatest thing?

-For some reason something abso-freaking-lutely inconsequential had me in a downer mood for like a couple hours until I started working on my dental shit and then played Out of the Park Baseball for 3 hours. If people were completely honest with everyone else then everyone would hate everyone but then you'd also have the balls to find out what you hope for is true. Am I making sense?



Scrooge McDuck, THA REALEST NIGGA ALIVE.

Nothing In Particular: The List

In no particular order, of no particular importance. An ongoing series of content that has been ruminating in my rum-pickled brain lately.



1. Some movies I would not mind watching

Four movies have been in my crosshairs lately and if you've been within earshot or laptop from me you will very well know they are The Wrestler, Role Models, Zack and Miri Make a Porno and JCVD.




The Wrestler: I've pontificated about that shit for awhile; redemption, Mickey Rourke, folding chairs, barbed-wire bats, etc. I'm a sucker for that has-been underdog story and sometimes if its good enough then I don't mind it being predictable.

People are hanging onto this angle that this is both Mickey Rourke's and Darren Aranofsky's comeback movies. Certain film fans think this is Aranofsky slumming it after the supposedly esoteric The Fountain bombed (I did not watch the movie but fwiw I wouldn't mind viewing that bad boy) and aiming for a more accessible movie.

To be honest, I don't really care either way I just want to watch the thing. The expectations in my head are way too out there and sometimes I think its because some wrestling fans crave for their stupid little fake fighting world to be legitimate in the eyes of others. Jeff Jarrett said it best when he said "For those that understand, no explanation is necessary. For those that don't no explanation will work."

Honestly, that's the stance I'm gonna take as to why I love this movie and its idea and concept before I've even seen it. I'm not scared it won't live up to my expectations like other movies I jocked hella hard because the fact that they got these people to make this movie seems like a victory already. Vince McMahon thinks that the success of The Wrestler will revitalize his show but it has nothing to do with wrestling and it has everything to do with being off-the-grid and being on the fringe of a society expecting that's hellbent on discarding you when you are of no use anymore. So yeah, I guess it IS about wrestling.


Role Models: Dudes from Apatow's crew, David Wain's "The State/Reno 911" crew, Stiffler, Elizabeth Banks (who seems like she's aiming for most girlfriend/wife characters in a span of a career) and that little black kid who makes me laugh.

Look at the rollcall, motherfuckers. Look at this resume of movies this collective has made separately and together:
-Wet Hot American Summer
-American Pie
-The 40-Year Old Virgin
-Let's All Go To Prison
-Superbad
-Forgetting Sarah Marshall
-Knocked Up
-Reno 911: Miami
-Stella
-Anchorman
-The State
-Friends
-Dude, Where's My Car
-Roadtrip
-Anchorman

That fucking list looks like a facebook/myspace favorite movie/tv list of your mookie-ass friend and/or your nerdy-ass riend who you love to death. And this, is why I am amped.


"When I am making love to my wife in a clumsy manner but rich with sarcastic and verbose dirty talk (aka Kevin Smithing it) I am thinking of your finely sculpted torso that diabolical wenches seem to take for granted. Damn you to Fuckville, the capital of Hell, Gwyneth Paltrow and Jennifer Lopez."

Zack and Miri: I've lessened my slurping the knob of Kevin Smith as I've gotten older, but it doesn't stop and although I'm really lukewarm to this movie I can't ever really drop some haterade on the dude (and I can probably think of a long-ass list of things that annoy me about the View Askewniverse but most of it doesn't involve filmmaking and I'd be a bitch to disregard something someone makes because because they intermittently annoy me AND IN NON-REAL LIFE TOO LIKE I NEVER MET THE GUY (i.e., Roman Polanski and Chinatown). Plus, dude introduced the world properly to Jason Lee and for that I can never completely loathe something as self-indulgent and kind of ridiculously livejournally a movie as Jay and Silent Bob Strikes Back.



JCVD: Van Damme in the most meta fucking idea. Mind blown.
