New Year Resolutions
“So this is the new year and I don’t feel any different”.
That was supposed to be my Facebook status January 1st, 2009 but things didn’t turn out as planned.
I spent the last hour of 2008 dancing in my room by myself. I downloaded some James Brown and shook my groove thang way into the new year. For the first few months of 2009, things were normal. I was busy figuring out...
Monkey Wrench in An Epiphany
You know the Target holiday commercials that have been on television, the ones where one person thinks that something costs too much, says something they normally wouldn’t and then you hear “Chestnuts roasting on an open fire…”?
Well, I think that there is a hidden message in some of them or I thought there was until I saw the commercial with the little girl who confesses...
WatchOne of the shows I started to watch this past semester. Weird but entertaining.
WatchI don’t like wishing people Merry Christmas, I much rather say “Happy Holiday!” BUT there are always exceptions.
MERRY CHRISTMAS! :D
Gifts
Today I was presented with a holiday gift.
It was unexpected and, although I don’t really like surprises, I did enjoy this one.
If you have a Mac and have updated to Safari 4 you know what I am talking about. It’s called the ‘Top Sites’ page. I can see update thumbnails of all my top sites simultaneously.
I am looking forward to checking out more features of my newly...
"It's The Holiday Season..."
The ‘whoop de do’ in that fine song by Andy WIlliams has inspired me to read the lyrics of holiday songs with a sarcastic tone.
It works best with “All I Want For Christmas Is You”.
Pulp Fiction
Jules: [Vincent and Jules are cleaning the inside of the car which is covered in blood] Oh, man, I will never forgive your ass for this shit. This is some fucked-up repugnant shit.
Vincent: Jules, did you ever hear the philosophy that once a man admits that he's wrong that he is immediately forgiven for all wrongdoings? Have you ever heard that?
Jules: Get the fuck out my face with that shit! The motherfucker that said that shit never had to pick up itty-bitty pieces of skull on account of your dumb ass.
Vincent: I got a threshold, Jules. I got a threshold for the abuse that I will take. Now, right now, I'm a fuckin' race car, right, and you got me the red. And I'm just sayin', I'm just sayin' that it's fuckin' dangerous to have a race car in the fuckin' red. That's all. I could blow.
Jules: Oh! Oh! You ready to blow?
Vincent: Yeah, I'm ready to blow.
Jules: Well, I'm a mushroom-cloud-layin' motherfucker, motherfucker! Every time my fingers touch brain, I'm Superfly T.N.T., I'm the Guns of the Navarone! IN FACT, WHAT THE FUCK AM I DOIN' IN THE BACK? YOU'RE THE MOTHERFUCKER WHO SHOULD BE ON BRAIN DETAIL! We're fuckin' switchin'! I'm washin' the windows, and you're pickin' up this nigger's skull!
WatchI rarely laugh out loud to a video I find on the internet more than once (if at all). Watched this twice so far, and it still makes my life that much better.
Dear Dumbass,
Remember the time after receiving your midterm grade you promised yourself that you wouldn’t start studying for an art history exam less than 9 hours before you take it? Yeah, I see you didn’t keep your promise. Good luck on your final later and I hope you enjoy life on the streets—failure. Sincerely, You.
Took my art history final this morning. I most definitely failed...
Job Application or Crazy Person Screening Process?
One in the same really, according to a certain chain store’s online application.
25 pages of multiple choice questions that all make me feel like I am a psychopath if I pick “disagree” to statements like, “I am always cheerful”.
What if I said, “agree” what happens then? WHO IS CHEERFUL ALL THE TIME?!
And “You do not like small talk”. I love...

Dangerous Wands
Oh snap, here’s a vid I wrote with Ben Joseph and Pat Cassels. Digg it if you dig it!
I am so very happy I started following CH 10 months ago. So very, very happy.
Adventures
Instead of a long entry, I’m just gonna say this:
Tonight I went on my first adventure. It was short and it didn’t involve anything fancy but I enjoyed myself.
More importantly, I did it alone.
It made me realize that I am going to miss this place immensely during winter break. I can not wait to move to the area permanently sometime during the next 5 years.

Death To Smoochy
Cop: Are you okay?
Randolph: I don't know. I'm pretty fucked up in general, so it's hard to gauge.
Word Of Advice:
Never google “senior citizens chatting”—ever. Especially if you have a very active imagination, and haven’t gotten any sleep.
Watchjakehurwitz:
WATCH.
I will finally be able to watch all 12 hours. THANK YOU FINALS (wow, I can’t believe I just said that).

Failure
Sunday through Wednesday was a decent week. The first decent week I had in a very long time. Trouble came Thursday morning when I skipped a 6 hour class to catch up on the work I missed and the sleep I didn’t get while trying to complete that work. Thursday evening, I spent 45 minutes creating a schedule for the next week hoping that by writing it down, I would get stuff done. I posted the...
Karma
Today I witnessed one human being call another human being the ‘n’ word.
My first reaction, was “asshole” (which I said out loud).
After giving it some thought, I kinda wished that the person would fall off his bike, break a limb, be transported by black paramedics, to a hospital where all the doctors on duty, were black.
