Checking In

It’s been a while since I’ve posted any kind of journal here. After much procrastination, I decided to finally sit my ass down and do it.
It’s been a quickly paced time of year for me. In some weird way, time seems to be flying by and it’s not for the better. Summer is, for the [...]

My Own Love Poem

My Own Love Poem (9/24/2006)
In the silence in the morning, I collect my straying thoughts
And I dedicate a moment to what I have never lost
I scramble through the pictures that I’ve locked inside my mind
The catastrophic romance that would turn my hatred blind
Then I say that I’ll be fine as my feet, they touch the [...]

Weird Al’s “White and Nerdy”

I’m sure most of you have heard that rap song “Ridin’ Dirty”. Weird Al has done a spoof of it and it’s freaking great. Here’s the video children:

Your Sin

Your Sin (9/17/2006)
Talking me, voices that I hear inside
Listen to my every breath
Lingering on every cry
Deep inside my mind, there’s so much going on
There’s so much going wrong
Everything is far from right
And I’m far from being strong
Bury me underneath your tempting call
Thoughts you place inside my head
Pushing me until I fall
Deep inside my mind, you’re [...]

A Day in My IM Life

Had this IM conversation with a completely random person. This is it’s entirety. I really hope I was never this asinine.
Danger Zone AD (5:20:09 PM): f u
Danger Zone AD (5:20:13 PM): laura
bangbang023 (5:20:36 PM): this isn’t “laura”
bangbang023 (5:20:39 PM): so um no thanks
Danger Zone AD (5:20:44 PM): k
Danger Zone AD (5:21:01 PM): welll then y [...]

Those Speechless Moments

I had promised myself I wouldn’t get caught up in the 9/11 recollections throughout the day, but, living in Brooklyn/NYC it’s impossible not to.
I don’t think people outside of New York can really grasp how insane that day was for us here and how chilling the memory can really be. No one had a clue [...]

An Intimate Evening with Staind

I thought I would use this time to get a little more in depth about the Staind show last night.
A few days ago, Staind posted a MySpace bulletin letting people know you could apply for tickets to a free acoustic recording they were having for their upcoming greatest hits album. On a whim, I [...]

Acoustic Staind Show…

Holy crap. Just got home from the acoustic show Staind had in the city as a recording for their upcoming Greatest Hits album. What an amazing performance. It was completely off the cuff and unrehearsed. At one point, in a song never released, Aaron forgot the second verse, but the band relooped the music and [...]

Good Idea, Bad Idea

Good Idea
I’ve determined that one of the best ideas in recent times is the plastic screw cap on cartons of orange juice. Yesterday, I bought a small container without a screw top and man it was a bitch to open it. It’s almost as if the harder you try to get it right, the more [...]

Capacitation

Capacitation (9/2/06)
Just stop with the bullshit, stop twisting the screws
Put yourself here and walk around in these shoes
I’m tired of the run around, just give me the truth
Give me facts to the story and back them with proof
Cause I’m sick of the fact that my life’s this way
I’m surrounded by nothing while I decay
But this [...]
