Threadless Shirts

I, perhaps stupidly, bought some t-shirts last night in the early morning hours. These are what I got.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.


Oh Blessed Thoughts

• Saturday, July 9th, 2005 • No Comments

We’re driving down PCH. The windows are rolled down. A cigarette is dangling from the ends of my fingers, out the window the ashes fly away. Music is on the radio, someone with a deep voicing crooning the words that exist in our minds, the words that we don’t even need to say to each [...]


Jesus

I just want to go outside and scream at the top of my lungs endlessly until I pass out from exhaustion.

I’m sure you get this all the time. Every time some good for nothing son of a bitch wanders your way, practically begging through his actions for you to send him away, he mutters that one line. You should expect it by now, shouldn’t you? You’ve got the murderers, rapists, arsonists, even petty criminals. You’re [...]


Woop Woop

So, this last week I accomplished a number of things. I unboxed my Xbox, Gamecube, and all 32 or some odd games for them and sold them. I made the minor impatient mistake of selling the Gamecube and all of the games at Gamestop where I netted a lowly $200 for it all. With that [...]
