Hang overs, Ribena and Print.

You know what’s fun? Being hung over till 10PM and not remembering things. I don’t remember paying for the cab, why my arm is bruised, why is my knee/leg is all cut up, where I got this bump on my head, why I had the meanest text message on my phone when I woke up or how I even got home alive. I do remember feeling extremely pissed off by the end of the night and trying to fight/screaming in some dude’s face who was harassing me in the middle of the street. Apparently the bartender at B&B’s on Thursdays is known for getting people trashed, awesome.

http://i.thisislondon.co.uk/i/pix/2008/05/New-look-Ribena-Original-Blackcurrant_243x509.jpgThis weekend has been looking up though. Last night was exactly what I needed, Lorrie loving, GT, pineapple pizza and billy madison. Wifey is coming home for good in a month! Tonight is gonna be a huge reunion with our favorite former Philly residents! Also, Jennie just called to tell me she found RIBENA for me which has made my year, I’ve been looking for that shit since I came back from London, SO STOKED! Next is my hunt for apple DemiSoda, which is basically carbonated apple juice.

Jennie and I were discussing print going out of business last night. You don’t even have to purchase books for school anymore because they’re available on most college’s library databases. Smaller magazines are all going digital and out of print. What does this mean for the future of books, copyrights, publishers and authors? Libraries are closing left and right. The books I’m currently reading, I downloaded them for free and I’m reading them on my iPhone. What is the future of print?

Every year, the pressure of going digital gets more intense. Digital is convenient and time saving. Jennie, who hates technology btw, made a good point. If someone has to pull a quote from a book, who wants to flip through however many pages to find it? It’s so much more convenient to go on google or whatever database and do a quick search & find.

Do I think print media will be obsolete? No fucking way, as great as technology is, there will always be people who want something physical, something they can hold, collect and treasure. As someone who enjoys book making/binding/structure, reading and writing, it bums me out to know that print is dying. And as much as I love gadgets, it will always be weird to see someone reading an ebook on their ebook reader.

It’s interesting to see print going digital and how it’s effecting people. I see subscribers getting upset about their favorite magazine going out of print and how the magazine is trying to convince them that digital is the future and how going digital will benefit the subscribers.  It’s funny to see how “change” and “progress” that people deseparately asked for, scares the living shit out of them. Yes it’s sad to see print going digital but in the end, it’s cheaper, quickly and easily distributed, readily available and, believe it or not, progress. Alright I’m done talking about print and the benefits of technology for today, I’m leaving with the best advice I got from tv, “Live every week like it’s shark week.”

I felt like destroying something beautiful.


Whoever owns this arm is my soulmate. He also peels cheese off his pizza.

BLAH! My head is killing me, I have a sharp pain coming from the right side of the back of my head that feels like someone’s stepping on/crushing my head. I’ve had this come and go for the past year. I should probably go see a doctor about it but what are the chances I’m gonna get one that’s gonna try and figure out what’s causing the pain instead of trying to medicate me to relieve the pain?

In an attempt to meet new people/get the fuck out of our apt, Grace and I have been going out to places we’ve always wanted to try and never been to before every Wednesday. Last week we went to Lucky13 with Avalon and the bartender gave us free shots. Last night we went to Royal Tavern for dinner and drinks. Royal is one of my favorite bars in the city and everyone raves about their food, especially the tempeh club so of course I ordered that (I’ve been on a tempeh kick lately) and it was delicious!

I am so sick of this fucking weather. No more snow/rain, I need some sunshine in my life please. I want to run around and play in parks, have super soaker fights and beer-b-q’s on my roofdeck. I think I need a vacation, ASAP!

I have some personal projects I need to get started on which require me to get my shit together and work on my website/blog. I need some motivation and less distractions.

I want to see this movie:

I’m concerned that my son has a secret girlfriend?

My 17 year old son has been very secretive with me lately, recently he has started to refuse to go to church with the family and tonight when I was going through his room I found a magazine with naked men in it. He obviously has a girlfriend that he is hiding from me that brought that magazine into my home and I am afraid they are having intercourse and I am greatly concerned that he is going to get her pregnant. What should I do about this?

Additional Details:
He is not a homosexual, we have taught him from the bible and he has learned though our church that this is not in God’s plan. I will not teach him about condoms, that is unacceptable, we have always taught him about abstinence and that is what God and his future wife expects from him. I want to speak to our pastor about this but I am very afraid of what he would think we are teaching our son if he things we are allowing him to sneak a girl into his bedroom. That is clearly inappropriate and we are good parents, I am very afraid what he will think of us.

Head like a hole, black as your soul

I’d rather die than give you control.

10 random things about yourself no one knows:
1. I cut my best friend of 14 yrs out of my life 4 years ago and I haven’t spoken to her since.
2. I dated 3 dudes who were/are in the army but they weren’t in the army while we were dating. One of them died in Iraq on Christmas.
3. I was born on base in the US Army in Colorado Springs then moved to Northern California. I spent my baby years on the west coast. My toddler years were spent in New York. I grew up in NE Philly and moved to Bucks County in 4th grade. Moved all throughout Philly in college, now I’m in South Philly.
4. I was raised on nannies my whole life. I never did a load of laundry or mopped until freshmen-sophomore year of college.
5. I’m lactose intolerant, I don’t eat anything that comes from the sea (OMG AZN THAT DOESN’T EAT SEAFOOD, get over it), marshmallows, eggs, mushrooms, pickles, olives, and a lot of other shit. I am the pickiest eater and the worst person to make food for.
6. I was a klepto for a long time. I gave most of the things I stole away, I only liked doing it because I knew I could get away with it. It was really hard to stop.
7. I love the adrenaline you get after fighting someone. I used to have rage issues. I mostly have it under control, I am able to walk away from people instead of punching them in the face now. I honestly don’t like getting that angry anymore.
8. I never broke a bone in my body until the day after I moved into my new apartment last year. Broke my ankle walking in the middle of the street, NO I WASN’T DRUNK ASSHOLES. I was wearing slippery shoes and rolled my ankle, I heard it crack. I wish I had a better story but nope, that was it.
9. I have always been able to talk my way out of anything. Most women use their assets but I prefer to use my words. I can proudly say I have never used anything other than my brain to get out of any situation.
10.  I started walking around 6-8 months. I could speak and sing whole songs by the time I was 1. I was multilingual by the age of 3. My vocabulary was a lot better when I was younger because I read all the time. My IQ in high school was almost at a genius level. My lack of motivation and not giving a fuck has led to me being an art school drop out hahaha. I am the definition of waste of potential.

Sucker for anything acoustic

Today was the first Sunday I was not awaken by my whole neighborhood yelling about the Eagles. My gums are bleeding for no reason. Lots of blood this weekend, hah. I should be up and doing things but instead I’m lounging around listening to Good Old War.

Can’t believe these are the same dudes I went to go see at shows in high school (when they were Days Away) hahahaha. I always knew they were up to something amazing and waiting for the right time to release it. Not a lot of people may appreciate it but I do. They’ve definitely came a long way since stoner jams from Mapping An Invisible World. Their sound has gotten a lot tighter. I’m really feeling this song they sang with the Wadsworth sisters called Stay By My Side:

Paul Simon Cover:

If anyone wants me to upload some stuff, let me know.

Oh and Keith still does that creepy dance when he sings hahaha. I miss going to shows and singalongs in my living room.

In 2009 I will…

  • go to places I’ve never been to and do things I’ve never done before.
  • cut out all the useless things and people in my life.
  • create meaningful relationships with people instead of destroying them (…my specialty)
  • be productive and do something extraordinary.
  • take care of myself better.

I don’t believe in new year’s resolutions but these are some things I’d like to work on this year.

…if it’s not keeping you up nights then what’s the point?
