What's New?

Hmm. What's new. After a good 8 months of not updating this site, I guess that the whole idea of updates is kinda new. But, let's see, what else. I haven't decided yet. But, soon, I will. And when I do, it will be posted...hmm, how do I work Blogger...?

What's Coming Up?

Well, first and most importantly, CMJ Music Festival , which features many great artists ranging from Songs: Ohia who is an extremely mellow and moving singer/group, to Neko Case and Her Boyfriends, Pedro The Lion, and The Dismemberment Plan...all which come highly recommended by yours truly. As well, Mike Watt will be headed into town in a bit, so all ex-alterna rockers better show up in full force. And most importantly, my first radio show is coming up TONIGHT (read-1:00AM Monday night)! I guess that's a pretty good start, huh?

The SideBar Rant

Well, I figured that people would be upset if I failed to put in the rant that I used to have with that ungodly colour on the left hand side of my page. Well, I must admit that this gives me a chance to add content to the page, and all SideBar Rants will eventually go over to the Memories page...unfortunately, all that is there right now is my written proposal for the radio show. Apparently it sucked, which is why I have the same spot, but, oh well...on to the aforementioned rant-age.

Here is a definition of a new practice that I have unfortunately mastered, entitled 'Evadery'. What is evadery, you may ask...well, other than the name of my soon-to-be-solo project with my roomate Jackson (Andrew is who I live with now, Jackson is my roomate...that's how it goes - and no, I don't know how a solo project can involve two people. Christ. Don't you see these are all lies!?). Evadery is the act of overanalizing every problem, then letting life run maddening circles around you while you huddle up in a little ball. The thought process is, if you huddle for long enough, and evade all problems by dodging everything, eventually the problem, which is usually an insignificant nothing, will just vanish like Jared Leto. Or, if it is a big problem, you will worry yourself with intense issues like the fate of Dawson and Pacey, while the person of the opposite sex (oh, by the way, this almost always deals with a person of the opposite sex) implodes over the stupidity of the issue. Then you laugh...oh, and how you laugh...

Well, I've decided that this is the best way in which to handle basically any problem...I mean, I just lack the social skills to handle them any other way. Anyway, I've recently made the decision to employ Evadery in a few female settings...one being with this sweet, sweet girl named Lynly, who unfortunately filled a nice chunk of my last year with significant neurosis. Long story short, after losing faith in our bizarre friendship, we parted ways. Well, she's making an effort again (read: running maddening circles around me, waving flags and burning Survior-like torches), which I am rudely ignoring all attempts at friendlyness (read: stop, drop, roll...fetal position!). According to said-roomate Jackson, I should (translated for the kiddlies) "Stay away from her. Don't call her. No." But man, I feel like crap. So, I'll just think about trivial issues in life, such as fighting in Israel (I mean, what's more trivial than violent massacres?), and let life live itself.

And as for the other issue, well, let's just say that me and any type of relationship with any type of female go together like Change of Heart and popularity...and if you got that joke on any level, you are a true friend. Um, yeah. If you ever see me on the street, just ignore me, as it'll be easier on your emotions (read: eyes). God, this is just another radio rant...gotta love it.

It's kind of funny that, since 8/15/00, people visited this site due to the unsubstantiated promise of hard core pornography...
