Summer Mix ‘07

Thursday, June 28th, 2007

For the past 3 or 4 years, around this time, my friend Dave and I have been exchanging mix tapes (actually mix cd-rs) of songs that lend themselves to the warmer months out of the year.

Ben Kweller… ba ben ben kweller

Wednesday, June 27th, 2007

As anyone of my friends can tell you (as I’ve told them a millions times), I put Ben Kweller’s 2002 debut, Sha Sha, back into heavy rotation. My friend Chris Dwyer (author ashinynewmachine), has been trying to convince me of this day in 2012 when the Mayans predict an apocalypitic type coming of one […]

British comedians

Friday, June 22nd, 2007

For some reason these two words seem like an oxymoron to me. The Brits are supposed to be proper and stuck-up and righteous and royal. So how can there be British comedians? Well, no matter the logistics of it… they do exist and are hilarious. Yeah sure, they might use some […]

Well I stumbled across an article this morning in a blog called howardwho. I had dismissed the article when I initially read it but sometime later (maybe and hour or two) while I was dazing off in my cubicle I began thinking about the article again.
This aforementioned article was titled Classical Music is the […]

An essay of malcontent

Monday, June 11th, 2007

Have you ever been at a point in your life where you realize that you are absolutely fully concentrated on one thing, and that all other things no matter how important or vital take a back seat. Exercise enthusiasts refer to it as a runner high, lovers refer to it as being in the […]

Culture shock

Sunday, June 10th, 2007

Usually when Americans travel abroad the first thing they talk about when mentioning their recent trip to others is the differences in social norms, customs, ways of life etc. A normal conversation might be something like “Did you know their biggest meal of the day is eaten for lunch instead of dinner?” or “You […]

Alright so my last post was a little angry, I realize that, but sometimes it just needs to be done. This post will be about nice things and nice people. See people are nice, and almost always put smiles on my face, corporations are mean and ugly and smelly so sometimes I have […]
