The Rules and Consequences of Them

• Wednesday, June 28th, 2006 • 1 Comment

I wish I didn’t title everything so strangely lately.

I went to Trista’s tonight to talk over some of the “conditions” or what I would like to see happen if we’re going to try to pursue a relationship again. I’ve always had a hard time working out what is reasonable and what isn’t. Today, though, I’ve [...]


Rape This Day [Updated]

• Tuesday, June 27th, 2006 • 1 Comment

Eh, Tomahawk song I’ve been enjoying lately, makes me feel better.

The worst thing by far so far about this whole thing was when I finally tried to go to sleep, every time I closed my eyes I saw what I saw through that bedroom window last night. Even now, I still can’t get it far [...]


All Of Your Worst Fears, Realized

• Monday, June 26th, 2006 • 5 Comments

I don’t even know how to start off this entry. This might not be a shock to anyone, maybe it will be a shock to everyone.

I found Trista in bed with another guy tonight. Now you know how the story ends, if you care to see the beginning and the middle I guess you can [...]

there was rain drizzlin’ down
you told me your life story
though I didn’t ask
and I knew from that moment
that I’d never see you again

I ran into you on a Wednesday
your hair was pulled back so tight
your forehead reflected the moonlight
i told you about the girls who came
with their brown eyes
and left [...]


Who Knows What Evil Lurks in the Hearts of Men?

This collection of photographs containing the shadow of the photographer, courtesy of Swapatorium, are eerily haunting. I almost end up imagining that it is the same person taking every single photo.

I’ve been playing the Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay game on my computer, and the fact that you see your own body and shadow really [...]


Happy Morning

• Monday, June 19th, 2006 • No Comments

I know I posted this in my del.icio.us already, but the Tolerate Mornings website (courtesy of Folgers, who are geniuses for allowing this to come to be) has a high quality version of the commercial that rules all commercials. Go to Tolerate Mornings and click on the television in the bottom left, and I assure [...]


You Gotta Be Fuckin Kidding Me Pitchfork

• Monday, June 19th, 2006 • No Comments

Pitchfork updated their record reviews section with a new look.

Only problem is… well, two problems.

1.) It’s kind of ugly and confusing looking.

2.) They’ve removed the rating of the album from the listings.

So, my old—and slightly embarrassing—process of going through Pitchfork and making a list of albums that got high ratings and reading the reviews of [...]
