I am about to start the song DoYaThing by Gorillaz, James Murphy of LCD Soundsystem, and Andre 3000. I’ve listened to it 12 times according to iTunes, and at least 5 times in my car on a CD. I’m going to write my free form thoughts about the song while it is playing. then not edit them. Except for like, grievous spelling errors or something. Or maybe i won’t YOU’LL NEVER...
gorillaz james murphy and andre 3000 have a song coming out next week
i’m going to throw up
in a good way

“What is the Purpose of Writing?”
My answer was thus: The purpose of writing is to be read.
“But what about diaries? journals? personal ledgers of that sort, hmmm?”
You’re going to read your own diary.

I was kidding with that last one.
If I’m not joking I’m not speaking.
11 thousand human beings had enough of an emotional reaction when looking at a photograph of a donut featuring sprinkles in the color of a local sports team to press a button on the internet publicly expressing their like for this donut.
eleven thousand human beings.

frankly, this looks to be a bad day.
Global Media, Economics, and Politics in the Third World is a pretty fun class to take. Mostly due to the fact that the abject horror and despair that I experience whenever I learn something new makes the day go by faster.

Had two drinks last night, two adult drinks. Dark and Stormys. Responsible measurements in both, I was pretty much sober by the time I went to sleep.
At which point the evening comes to life.
I awaken at quarter to six am, have enough time to look out the window, think “hey, snow! huh. Why am i even- ohhhh. ok.” and then am projectile vomiting into my bedroom trash can (which later...
Hey. You kids interested in an album of acid house songs as interpreted by a full brass band? No? Ok, well, I’ll be over here shaming my ancestors if you change your mind later.
ROBERT M. McPHERSON: PROFESSIONAL ADVICEMEISTER
It seems strange that popular culture vilifies people who simply don’t want to die.
Both Darth Vader and Voldemort from those Harry Potter books. Their motivation is just not dying. What’s more noble than that? And yet, oh, they are evil for some reason. Come on, creators, you can probably think of a more villainous motivation. Or I don’t know, two separate motivations? Maybe?

“Not while I’m here.”

Alternating AC/DC songs with the Inception soundtrack.
Its like a kickass rock and roll club keeps getting assaulted by melancholy disasters.
Just got betrayed by a friend.
They said “You would probably really like Dwight Yoakam.”
Dwight Yoakam is a country singer.
And I am on record as not caring for country singers.
And despite knowing better, trying to be fair, I just listened to three of his songs.
In a ROW.
I’ll say it one more time: Betrayed.
Song Time, Because I Feel Self-Indulgent Today.
Pushing Up Daisies- The Black Belles. Four deeply severe young women in floppy hats have a flair for sinister blues rock. Your platonic girl friend probably already knows about them. Jack White (of ‘he’s Jack fucking White’ fame) produced their album, so the song features that crazy organ sound he’s got a thing for. It’s pretty bad ass.
Meyrin Fields- Broken Bells....

I pretty much destroyed an entire shampoo aisle today. It’s not even worth explaining.
“Fuck you guys for getting 4 loko, its five in the fucking morning.” -My wise, for once, brother.
"Goin' Home" -By Dan Auerbach: Fuck That Song.
Seriously. Awful. It makes me angry. It makes me blindly furious. It turns me into a Hulk. It wrecks the whole album and it wrecks everything else he’s ever done.
Well, almost.
Fuck that song.
“Well, so far my schedule for tomorrow is ‘Taking close up photos of breakfast cereals from 10 to noon.’
“And then nothing.”

And so, things continued to happen.

“Whatever happened to her?”
“She went to Europe and met some guy and now she’s a lesbian or a coke dealer or something.”
“Wait, how does that work?”
Introducing @TheBallooninati (And Why)
I’m attempting something different and hopefully interesting, internet-style.
By far, my favorite thing on the internet is Twitter (Sorry, this website). I’m not really sure why, but there it is.
So I have created a new Twitter thing in addition to my regular one.
@TheBallooninati is the thoughts and adventures of a time traveling balloon-being.
Well, not really, obviously, but...
Scott: Garlic bread is my favourite food. I could honestly eat it for every meal.

So now some other stuff happens.
If I know you personally and you are my age and you get married, I’m probably going to stop being your acquaintance on the internet, and be kind of confused and intimidated by you. Which probably isn’t fair of me, but so it goes.

Heres the fucking deal with Kim Pine.
Kim Pine is hot, but not that hot. And I’m pretty sure thats the point.
Because if Kim Pine was wicked hot and then also that awesome, she wouldn’t be believable.
I’m going home soon, and I’m nervous.
Because I’m happy, but back home people know me.
Kim Pine is a fictional character, by the way.
I’m all fired up about Holy Ghost! That exclamation point was not by choice. It’s part of the name of that band. But thats the only bad thing about them, basically. Listen to Wait And See, it sounds like someone playing a piano that is a functioning piano but also a functioning fish tank thats lit with soft blue light from below. Also this piano is at some kind of outer space cabaret,...
