Not much to say right now. Just counting down to Radiohead on the 11th and getting psyched for many trips to the beach this summer. My friends moved to Delaware today and I must get down to visit them in June. Other than that, like I said, not much new. I've gotta email my bro.
New video for Radiohead's All I Need for MTV's EXIT program which is aimed at stopping human trafficking and exploitation. The video depicts the life of a kid in the first world versus a kid who has to work in a sweatshop. Great song, anyway. Maybe I'll post more later.
So tonight at the restaurant went well. I made the same amount of money as last night so that was cool and I got to leave at like 11:00, which might be the earliest I've gotten out. Went over to Ryan's after work and watched some TV while he and his young lady friend mixed up the greatest tasting drink ever. I only had a sip but it was Grapefruit flavored vodka mixed with Tropical punch. It was good. Tomorrow I think Ryan and I are going shopping for sneaks.
Damn, I filled my tank today and it was just shy of fifty dollars! If I didn't have two jobs right now I'd be scrahooood. But things are looking up. I'm making money and am still able to have a little fun now and then. Actually other than seeing Radiohead at the beginning and end of summer, my fun is pretty limited. I wish I could get out to LA soon, but that's not looking too good.Maybe I can get there in the fall.
I know I didn't write about this before because it was a sore subject (literally), but last week I got really wasted sitting on my front porch steps. It sounds funny, but it's not. Anyway, I was chilling out there and kept running inside to drink this Black Velvet Canadian Whiskey. The last time, I stood up to go inside and when I went to pivot the 180 degrees I fell over and hit my face on the porch which caused a big ass gash in my lip! Isn't that horrible?! My tooth cut into the inside of my lip and the porch cut into the outside of my lip for one nasty looking injury. It didn't look that bad for the first few hours and then about thirty hours later it was like "Maybe I should get stitches." I did not though. I got this antibiotic cream and it healed up in a few days but what a great moment in being a douche that was. I'd really better watch it and steps are a no no.
Today, Dicketmaster realeased more tickets to the All Points West festival at Liberty State Park which is in Jersey City, NJ. Radiohead is headlining the first two nights and Ryan and I are going to the second night, Saturday, August 9th. It'll be the middle night of the festival and we may amend our plans and go to the first night too (mostly for New Pornographers), but Radiohead's second night will probably be their best based on experience. I'll never forget my first Radiohead experience at the exact same venue August 17th, 2001. It'll be nice to see them there again, especally at a show where every ticket is GA, just like before. And without those annoying twin towers in the immediate background. Wee! Tonight the convenience store by my house got robbed for like the fiftieth time in two days. It gets robbed all the time. Oh the horror, I guess. Kidnapping tricks and hoes. I made great money at the restaurant tonight and the open mic sounded great!. So fun.
Also, at the restaurant I ran into some friends, a guy named Michael and his cute wife Leah. They live at 113 (GSW). Nice. We made plans to hang so that's cool.
One of my favorite Jacquetta pics. I love yesterday's pic too, just because Carmen Kass has the greatest, youngest looking face in it. Just so, I don't know, fresh? I was brought up to think that being fresh was something negative. KRS-ONE taught me different. This photo is great because it's shot from such a great angle. Anything...
So tonight I went to this bar to help plan the new bar that my friends are opening in Delaware. It seems like it's going to be great thing. I'm so happy that peoples' dreams are coming true. What else? I got off work after only a half hour today, so that was cool, but then I just slept all day which was not cool. No idea when I'll get to sleep tonight but I hope it'll be soon. Will post more tomorrow. I can't wait to go to work at the restaurant. It's so fun. Oh, also tonight I saw a girl named Jill who I hadn't seen in some time, the verdict: Very, very good!
So today was my only day off this week and it was pretty good. I just chilled out and listened to The Best Show all while emailing people and hoping that roving gangs of thugs don't rob me for my medication. Why? Actually the other night a bunch of cars on my street ( the greatest street in the world) got rummaged through. My mom's car was one of them. It was probably Ryan actually now that I think about it.
Ryan moved into his new place a few weeks ago and it's really awesome. I've been over there a few times and it's pretty chill. I like the fact that I'm making money again with working two jobs but it leaves precious little time for broing with people. Like two weeks ago I wasn't working at the restaurant so I got to chill with Mike and Ryan and that was great. So I know I've gotta make more time for my friends. It's hard though when you have such limited free time. Like I haven't chilled with my friend John that much since he and his wife have been here in the states. Sometimes that's weird because I forget that he's back. With him being gone so much over the last three or four years I forget that he's not gone anymore. I must make time to hang out with him.
Today I rediscovered my love of the model. I used to post models and pictures that I thought were really artistically cool all the time on my old blog and I'm going back to that. What can I say, I love the ladies. Despite being seen on billboards and magazine covers (except here in America where celebrities rule everything) they are not household names and they should be. Anyway, anyone who remembers the old blog will not find this too jarring. I have a lot of regret lately about tearing the old blog down. I miss it, and I think it had some great content. Better than this new one even. I miss my old readers like Denise and Kristi. They were fun and I liked keeping abreast of things in their lives in their respective places. Ahh, the good old days. Anyway, in light of what I've just said, I'm starting Jacquetta Wheeler month here. I post some idiotic crap, I post Mrs. Lemonade, it's that simple folks.
So tonight at the restaurant was great! I killed it. Not much else new to say. Tonight I've just been answering emails which I'm way behind on. What can I say? Work was really great tonight and I made a ton of money, which I'm psyched on. My other job can suck it, but right now I need it. Oh boy!
So, I took down my last post because of the possible implications that it could have on my real life. Some people don't realize that there are about two people who read this. There ain't no gravy train in heaven, so why would there be one in the blogoshpere? I'm not sure what that means but whatev. Tonight I went to work at the EnC as it is now called and rocked it. I love that job so much, it's so fun and the people are mad cool. I can't wait until I'm just rocking it and getting good tips. I can't wait until I'm a closer and can make mad money. Amazon is going OK, but there is no money to be made there. Even when you do a good job, they just want you to do more. Bullshit. I'll keep working there for now and not calling off, like I had been. I don't like it but I gotta keep pushing. Just making more money.
Too many videos, and it's too late for me right now to go through and put some up, but I like the concept of this. Like, just, wow! If you're in Los Angeles you can watch this guy on cable access. Another reason I need to get my ass out to the 818.
Not much new to report. One of my best friend's fathers has just passed away and I'll be attending the funeral on Monday. I'm very sad about this, escpecially since he didn't get to see his son's dreams come to fruition, which they are just about to. Death is weird and a total bitch. Other than that typical Friday here. I might go in to the EnC to train on the computers tomorrow which'll be nice. If not I'll be sorting through my clothes and trying to get rid of stuff I never wear anymore. Last night I chilled with Mike and Ryan at Coakleys and it was awesome. I haven't seen Mike in so long that any chilling I get to do with him is stellar. Ryan is moving into his new apartment this weekend so that's cool. Other than that not much new. Took an Adavan tonight for the first time and I think I need to get on this shit. It's good. I just feel like posting some Morrissey vids. My Love Life
There's a one disc version with the following songs, which are pretty good choices: Just Paranoid Android Karma Police Creep No Surprises High and Dry My Iron Lung There There Lucky Fake Plastic Trees Idioteque 2+2=5 The Bends Pyramid Song Street Spirit (Fade Out) Everything In Its Right Place
Then, there's a two disc version with a black cover with the additional tracks: Airbag I Might Be Wrong Go To Sleep Let Down Planet Telex Exit Music (For A Film) The National Anthem Knives Out Talk Show Host You Anyone Can Play Guitar How To Disappear Completely True Love Waits
Replace Go To Sleep with Scatterbrain or A Wolf At The Door and other than that this looks like a great collection. Glad to see Airbag and Planet Telex are on there.
So the restaurant is going well. I'm still trying to learn what comes with a salad and what doesn't and learn the computer and all that but all in all it's going alright. So I'm happy about that.
I'm trying to catch up on podcasts this week since I don't have to work tomorrow or Friday. I have so many episodes of The Best Show and Uhh Yeah Dude that I'm behind on it's not funny. That reminds me, I'm also way behind on Never Not Funny and haven't signed up for the pay version yet. I'm listening to The Smiths and some Morrissey right now and relaxing with some rum. I'm all done with moving and am so happy that that's out of the way, finally. My mom has been watching Drake And Josh with me and that's been cool. She loves Josh. What can I say, he is pretty funny. Personally, I think the character of Gavin deserves his own spinoff but whatev.
Damn. OK, so last week I'm watching Life Of Ryan - Oh by the way, sometime early/mid March Dustin Dollin, who I've blogged about recently, quit professional skateboarding to work on designing shoes for Vans and do other fashion related things like intern for Ben Cho. This news came via Epiclylater'd where many of Dustin's exploits were documented. Skateboarding will miss him. He was seriously one of the top 5 best skaters of the last ten years. Anyway, so I'm watching Life Of Ryan and MTV is running endless promos for their new artist of the week, the French Techtonic artist Yelle. Holy Smokes I'm smitten with this chick lately. And when I'm lying in my bed I think about life and I think about death and neither one particularly appeals to me.
A Cause De Garcons
Fatal Bazooka featuring Yelle-Parle A Ma Main
In reading the comments for the last one I noticed some people saying this reminded them of the Shoes video from Liam Sullivan. The people were talking Francetalk though. Evidently this guy Michael Youn is huge in France for playing this girl Christelle in all these music videos. French people also seem to be fans of Liam Sullivan's character Kelly.
And in Radiohead news the tracklisting for the EMI issued greatest hits albums has been revealed more on that later tonight.
