Transportation

The importance of efficient public transportation and bike-friendly roads is translated here.

Nightclubbing Like a Son of a Bitch

There was no stopping this dude. Never mind the fact that he was the only one in the club that wasn't personally invited by Polo, the birthday boy. Never mind the fact that he was 20+ years older than everyone in the joint.

Ball so hard his tie don't even need a collar!

Jesus De Nada

Much LOLs.

Daisies, Smiles, Frolicking and Prancing Around

ERRRRR! WRONG!

More like complaining, nagging, ruining everyone's day just because your losing enough blood for a full grown man to die from.

Books....Check 'em Out

Every post that we make regarding books will be titled with "Books, check 'em out," or other variations of it. There are actually a couple of them lost in our archive, but I managed to find one of them. When Borders closed I bought a handful that'll take me a couple of years to finish. I just finished the third book from that pile so on to the next--the one I'm reading now is Naked by David Sedaris. Anyway, this is a pretty awesome stop-motion video of a bookstore in Canada. I'm sure it took a lot of time rearranging the books so it's worth your time. Check it out.

Dedicated Music

The day you were born, your dad cut the umbilical cord. The day Blu Ivy Carter was born, his dad cut a hit single.

The song is super deep though; Pharrell harmonizes the hook, Jay says "my greatest creation was you", and then Blu Ivy cries his little lungs out, fade to black.

Wonder Boy Shreds Hard

At seven I was playing with LEGOs; mostly biting them, but "playing" with them nonetheless. At seven, little dude Asher Bradshaw is killing SoCal skateparks like his parents rigged his DNA with Tony Hawk genes. Ryan Sheckler, move the fuck over spray tan reality TV boy. Shaun White, your still cool in my book; even though Carrot Top beat you to it with the hair by like 15 years.

Side note: I love The Drums, but "Let's Go Surfing" as a song choice for a skate vid is like taking an bulimic girl to a buffet for a first date.

Overpriced Modern Day Hippy Fest Announces Line Up

Never been to Coachella before, because I hate that bright bastard in the sky (my fare skin reminds me all the time) and I don't like my entire body feeling like a construction worker's sweaty balls. However, every year when Coachella announces their annual line up, I like to play the "who would I actually wanna see" game.

Surprisingly, this is the first year that I would actually care to see each of the three main acts.
As well as,
Friday: MADNESS!!, Tim Armstrong (of Rancid fame), Mazzy Star, Explosions in the Sky (again), M83, Datsik
Saturday: BUZZCOCKS!!, Godspeed You! Black Emperor (again), the Shins
Sunday: Fitz and the Tantrums (again), Co Flow (can never pass up El-P), At The Drive In, Beirut

Wait, let me think about this again; I've already seen Explosions, Godspeed and Fitz, seen El-P many times, same goes for Tim Armstrong. So, I'd really only go to see Madness, Buzzcocks, Beirut, Drive In, and Radiohead to be honest with you. Can't justify spending $600+ to do that though.

New Year for New Things

Even though I've griped many times about how the arrival of a new year is over-celebrated, this one seems to hold a much different view for me. I'm not sure what it is exactly, perhaps my mind has been too preoccupied with things that needed to be done that made it impossible to feel the sense of renewal--whatever it is, I can actually feel the presence of this new year/new beginning. I finally have my B.Sc. so having a career is much more probable now (at least, I hope so), in addition, I turned 25 with the new year so I guess you can see why this year holds a different meaning for me. You're probably already thinking that the remainder of this post will be as super sentimental as what you've already read, but the main purpose of this blog is to share the coolest things I've received as gifts BECAUSE of my graduation/birthday! Right now, I'm writing this entry with my awesome Macbook Pro--thanks to my family. From my co-blogger/beloved bf/bestie, Jesse, I got my first taxidermy piece and Ashley Wood/Frankenstein toys--I haven't got any pictures, but they will surely have their own post so stay tuned.

I leave you now with a couple of photos exhibiting adulthood, thanks to photo booth.
