[music |Dr. Rock!]

Yesterday I was biking around, broke and bored. I spied Les' bicycle conveience machine locked outside of Ty's house, so I thought I'd pop in and see what the score was. No sooner had I opened the door when Ty, face positively brimming with relief, approaches me and says some words that will be with me for the rest of my life.

"Do you want a free ticket to Ween?"

Motherfucking yes I want a free ticket to Ween! So off we went to the Orpheum. I had been aware of the Ween being in town, but it had been sold out for a week on top of my previously mentioned broke status, so I had pretty much dismissed any fantasy of seeing them. This just further proves my theory that my life is best lived through serendipity, and any sort of advanced planning will just muck up the universe's plans.

They played for three hours straight. And they covered Motorhead. Consumate performers, those Ween fellas.

so Ted made a picture of my Dungeons and Dragons character from our Frozen North campaign that Les has been running for about a year now.

Bullet point update [Jun. 2nd, 2006|03:57 pm]
[music |total eclipse of the heart]

  • I started my new job at UPS, and holy hell, it's tiring. For starters, it's way down near Monona, on the other side of the lake. I know that means nothing to most of you, so let's just leave it at it's very far away, especially when the only way to get out there is by bike because Madison's public transportation is completely useless if you want to go anywhere that's not the UW Campus or the mall. I'm not sure how far it is exactly, but it takes about forty five minutes to get there. Then I have a rousing four hours of picking up boxes and placing them in the back of trucks, and then bike back. I weighed myself before and after my first day and I lost five pounds of sweat, which is really gross if you try to visualize it. All in all though, it's not bad. I don't mind being tired and sweaty actually; it's a nice change of pace from the sloth that has been the last six months to twenty one years of my life. And I'm gonna be buffasaurus by the end of the summer.

 

  • So it's June now, and the novelty of not having your face freeze off when you step outside has begun to wear off. Now I remember all the sucky parts of summer that I blocked out of my head during the frigid winter months, specificly the heat-induced insomnia. I haven't had a good night sleep in a week, give that my apartment somehow manages to be ten degrees warmer than it is outside.

 

  • I cut my own hair last night, and it turned out pretty good. I had been attempting to trick my friends, co-workers, and random strangers into cutting for me, but nobody took the bait.

 

  • I've had Total Eclipse of the Heart stuck in my head for the past week. It's a dangerous thing, I know, but we're living in a powder keg and giving off sparks, so what can you do.

I don't think four things is really enough to justify bullet points, but I'm pretty much out of things to talk about. My life has been fairly uninteresting as of late. How are you doing?

Ok guys, let's do some no bullshit talking about my life.

1) Nothing says no bullshit like a numbered list.

2) I stopped taking anti-depressants a few weeks ago. I was on escitalopram (Lexapro) for about three months. All it really accomplished was making me sleep even more than I usually did (which is a lot). The only real side-effect I've noticed from stopping has been trouble sleeping, but that's nothing new in my family.

3) I am dropping out of UW Madison and going to MATC (Madison, not Milwaukee) to get a two year electrician journeyman thingie. I'm pretty happy with this decision, it makes a lot of sense to me.

4) I've been in a slight to moderate depression for the past six months to seven years, depending on how you count. I don't know if I'm just setting myself up for disappointment, but I think I'm finally getting better. Or at least I'm learning to deal with it.

5) I probably do too many drugs. I also don't have any real plans to stop.

6) Kingdom of Loathing is probably worse for me than drugs.

7) I'm begining to recognize the part of me that's a collasal asshole. I'm sure I've been a dick to most of you at one point or another. Sorry.

8) On the flip side, I've come to terms with the fact that I'm basicly a good person.

9) I'm pretty manipulative, but easily manipulated, as far as the women folk go.

10) I think this list is starting to get a little too gothy, so let's perk it up.

11) Next year I'm living with one of my best friends in a sweet house with, dig this, FREE ONSITE LAUNDRY!!! Like a washer and dryer wilil be less than ten feet from my room. I might actually have clean clothes at somepoint next year. I'm excited.

12) I can't think of anything more.

Thanks for listening

So it turns out that my birthday is also the City of Madison's birthday. So Miguel, Ella, and I went to Monona Terrace on sunday to check out Madison's birthday celebrations. There were stilt-walkers and face-painters and hat-makers and other-hyphenations as well. It was neat, I went around thanking people for coming to my birthday and basicly pretending that it was all for me. Which it was. The only odd thing was when Mayor Dave served the free cake (my birthdays are pimp like that), he said "LET THEM EAT CAKE!" History isn't my strong point, but didn't Marie Antoinette say that to basicly spit in the face of the peasanty? Context Dave, it's all about context.

Oh, I got attacked by a chihuahua too. As much as a dog that weighs 7 pounds can "attack" me. I really really wanted to kick it, not out of spite mind you, but to simply show that little bitch (literally) it's place in the world. You can't go around fronting like that when you're smaller than a breadbox.

So I'm walking home down Gilman street when this car stops next to me. The window rolls down and there's this EXTREMELY drunk girl in the passenger side. Like, could smell the liquor from the curb where I was standing.

Girl: "We're in twoble!" (She did lisp)
Drunk guy in driver seat: "Hey man, where the fuck is the Madison Inn? We're totally trashed."
Me: Uh, *gives directions*.
Girl: "You're my herwo! We're married now."

At this point I notice the passed out guy in the back seat.

Me: "Is he ok?"
DGIDS: "I dunno."
Me: "The hotel is not that far from my house. I can drive you there, I'm sober."
DGIDS: "Fuck that."

And they tear off through a stop sign.

They looked real young, like high school age.

Crazy.

This is what my older sister does in her freetime.

I've been going to the RHPS since I was like thirteen or fourteen, when Lizz deigned to take her annoying little brother. In the six years since, I've never once thought that anything about it was odd or strange, until I saw this picture.

Lizz, we're weridos.

Facebook just tried to sell me tickets to see the Profit$. Which is funny, because when I swore to Mikey that I would never support his band in any way, shape, or form, he said "good for you!"

I am being completely honest here [Jan. 24th, 2006|11:39 pm]
[Tags|]

I've been doing a lot of thinking about my life and, to a greater extent, the undead. The decline in my overall happiness with my life has coincided with the increase in my love of the undead to converge at this crucial and startling idea: A full-scale zombie invasion would be the best day of my life. Now hear me out. Having my friends and loved ones eaten alive only to later rise up against me is not something I look forward too. That's a given. However, there's something oddly appealing about the idea of fighting legions of undead for my survival. My life would become focused to a razor point. All the little quibles and annoyances that drive me crazy and give me anxiety would disappear. In it's place would be the raw fight or flight instinct instilled in us through millions of years of evolution and so callously discarded after a few short millenia of so called civilzation. I wouldn't wake up and wonder if I have to go to work or how I'm going to avoid doing my homework or why my oven is making odd noises. From the moment I wake up cold and frightened to the moment I fall into a listless, terror filled sleep my thoughts would be on one thing and one thing only: kicking zombie ass and staying alive. I want that. I want my life to telescope into one zen-like goal. No distracitons, no tangents. No interior turmoil. Nothing but the sheer will to live that is the motivation behind every single action in the known kingdom of life.

I watched Empire Strikes Back on Laserdisc last night. Getting up to flip your laserdisc four times during a movie sucks.
