i never know if anyone actually reads this thing.
mainly because i’m too lazy to check the google analytics, and even then, i’m not sure if those reading are actually reading my blog or searched something ridiculous like godzilla porn and randomly found my blog.
but there’s something in the human spirit that enjoys screaming down empty [...]

i’ve been called out on not using this blog enough.
so therefore, i will be updating more in the next few days.
not the long, introspective pieces i’ve been writing but smaller posts. i think that way, i will be more consistent. here’s hoping.

i have been horrible about updating this blog. i blame it on a combination of grad school starting up again, me still not completely processing my odd-yssey and a general writers’ block.
which is why i’m forcing myself to write this blog post though i’m not very motivated to do so. without the ability to write, [...]

yeh.
i’ve been hella fail at the whole updating thing. as a heads up, i will be updating with all the old blog entries that i should’ve finished. sorry.
my brain’s been fried. still trying to process my journey into the mountains and then getting pulled over by border patrol and then summit and then the fucking [...]

i am sick as heo.
it’s been a great time in DC and was ’sposed to culminate in the 4th… but eh.
well, this post is mostly to say that i’m alive, if not completely well. yesterday, the 3rd, and my 5th on the road on the real part of my odd-yssey.
it was a crazy time, all [...]

*nota bene* this was written on the night of the 26th.

yes… i am once again in “the event room,” that magical space where staff [...]

soundtrack to this blogpost will be the decemberists. because they are dope. because colin meloy is a lyrical god. because legionnaire’s lament is pretty much one of my favoritest songs ever. and finally because any band that has the balls to put together a prog rock opera based on british folk tales is fucking gangster. [...]

the soundtrack to this blogpost, and the lead into the meat of it, will be kanye west’s platinum selling album, 808s and heartbreak. at once lauded for being the most honest and least guarded / least image-conscious of kanye’s albums, as well as being a fundamental divorcement from the sound that he had before and [...]

as last week was saint patty’s day, and i definitely got me share of green guinness and jameson, i think it’s appropriate that the soundtrack to this blogpost be a randomized collection from the pogues. god, if any man could be as creative as shane mcgowan without being so monumentally fucked up, in many, many [...]

the soundtrack to this blogpost will be the tripped out reggae crew Brown Rice Family, coming straight outta brooklyn with a really funky, feel easy sound. at the same time, there’s a strong layered musicality to their work that shows the true depth of their work, even as their lyrics speak to universal subjects of [...]
