move along...
there's nothing to see here.
there's nothing to see here.
Well, the ides of March has passed. St. Patty's day was alright. I didn't do much, although I managed to get off my lazy ass and go have a few beers with a couple friends. Nothing spectacular, but better than sitting at home doing nothing.
Justice is tomorrow in Chicago at the Riviera. I am quite excited. It should be good times.
Okay, that's all you get for now.
i guess i haven't updated lately mostly because of laziness, and also the fact that i don't have much to say. i basically have just been working daily from 8 AM to 5 PM... and i think i have gotten used to the schedule now, but i still feel pain getting up at 6:30 AM, regardless what time i go to sleep. i'm tired no matter what, even if i go to sleep at 9:30. yeah, the new job is good.. it's not too different from the old one although it's a lot more hours and responsibility. i can handle it though.. just cause i am a ninja like that. oh, and i'm making more money right now than i've ever made in my life. getting over a grand every 2 weeks is the shit. i just need to learn to start saving my money. but since i'm still living with my parents right now and basically have no bills (besides insurance premiums--just until july when the state picks up the tab, and my $50/mo cell bill), i want to buy a few big things that i have wanted for a while. namely, a much needed computer upgrade. i haven't gotten a full upgrade since my freshman year of college.
other than that, i've been doing the usual when not at work. just chillin.. watching tv and playing games and hanging out with a few friends. mass effect is totally the shit. i could probably beat it in 5 hours or so, but i am planning on milking it (doing sidequests and shit) to get as much of the game done as possible before i beat it. i do love ps3 though, and as soon as i am done with mass effect, i am devoting my attention entirely to uncharted: drake's fortune.
i am super lazy.
i graduated from college and have secured a fulltime job. it doesn't feel real though, because i still have to take 2 exams tomorrow: my ebusiness and management analysis exams. fuck. i am stressed out because i probably didn't study enough, but i will have an hour or so to review for the 2nd one, which is the more difficult of the two.
other than that.. not much going on except the usual abusive media frenzy. here's the highlights for this month:
viewing:
shoot 'em up - i don't think i've enjoyed an action movie this much since sin city.
chuck - perhaps one of the most underrated new shows, and i think it is based off my future life

well it's a new month. what can i say... school is progressing, and thankfully my M/W rockclimbing class will be over in a couple weeks so i can get home around 5 instead of 8 on those days. that'll be nice. since i can't really post anything /meaningful/ on here, i have decided that i will put together a bi-monthly (or perhaps weekly if i have the motivation/time) "media consumption" post where i will detail the best of what i'm watching/listening to/playing/reading. so here goes:
watching:
family guy - the star wars episode was great, as was last night's
american dad - off to a great yet ridiculous start
dexter - if you haven't seen this show, start watching now
metalocalypse - 'nuff said
lucy, daughter of the devil
prison break - omfg, the suspense
weeds
house
CSI (vegas only!)
the kingdom - just saw this in theaters this last weekend, it was good. not jamie's best, but good. and jennifer garner is still hot--especially when she is stabbing sand-people in the face.
listening

battles - mirrored

various portishead stuff
soundtrack - resident evil 3: extinction (this one is done all by charlie clouser of NIN fame) - upon closer listening, i have found that clouser only did 4 songs on the album, all less than 2 minutes. the rest is garbage.

i bet my beloved monkeyphish did not expect a post today, but guess what. here i am, entering my crooked thoughts into this small piece of internet heaven.
hello, friends. i am fucked up. soundgard, a toast to you my brother in crime.
two words: grand canyon.
what a fucking week. what a fucked up week. what a busy fucking, fucked up week. is this my punishment for eating drugs and enjoying myself? does my place of employment know that i enjoy fucking myself? do they realize that my sadomasochism touches me? i just want something beautiful.
i don't know. i got a hookah yesterday. smoked some herbs and "herbal blends" out of it and spaced pretty well out into the outer realms of time. it's fairly cheap and made of glass/metal .. but i didn't intend on getting something that would last me forever. i just want to learn what this ancient form of smoking is all about and see if i like it before i invest $300 in a proper device.
i've been playing a lot of world of warcraft with my limited free time. i stopped playing for a couple months after my account got deleted for giving my password to koreans. i started the same type of character again and at this time he's level 28. i'm slowing making my way back even though it's slow and stupid. but it keeps me busy and not thinking about anything else.
eric and i went down the old canal yesterday with the hookah and laid on some rocks near a waterfall and toked for an hour or so. after that, went to another friend's place and smoked with him. we all enjoy the hookah but i need to learn how to use it more efficiently. this was all necessary after my work week. for the record.
jenny called my phone a few times yesterday. i haven't talked to her since i was walking in downtown chicago but even then it was only for a few minutes and i didn't really want to talk to her while i was geek'd and going to a party. i tried calling her back after the first missed call but got no answer and i didn't pick up for the rest of the day. i really want to completely ignore her but i don't think i can. i really don't want to ignore her but i am. i guess i just need some time to think. i don't even know why i'm talking about this as it's totally pointless.
what a fucking weekend. what a mind-altering attack on my brain. i have never been so lifted. i have never been so tired. right now all i can do is listen to digitally imported radio and stare. i'm pretty worthless in this work environment.
i love painkillers. sitting in a comfy chair and watching television for hours and hours. not sitting in this hard office chair and watching the nearly motionless lcd. at least it's an lcd. widescreen. 19" .. not terrible. it's not a samsung, though. crazyfoo has a 22" samsung. the same one i crave. one day i hope to have it. it hope to have two. that'd be so phat. i would never leave my room. i'm so jealous that he gets to stare at it every day. instead of stealing his pristine, samsung monitor, though .. i left the charger for my phone sitting in his living room. i knew it would happen. do i care? ask me if i care .. nah. i have a charger here on my desk at work. fuck it.
i've had this screen up for so many hours. i can't make myself write anything. i just want to go home and stare at some mindless television. i would say i want to smoke some herb but i don't. crazyfoo's weed is so much better than mine. in every possible way. his glass is even better. the mexican crap i smoke tastes like butthole. i remember at one point crazyfoo said we should change out the water in the bong 'cause it was starting to taste like chapped ass -- i had no idea .. it all tasted so wonderful and awesome .. i bet even if the water was weeks old i would still enjoy the holy shit out of it.
anyway, i have more to say but i think i'm about to leave the office. maybe when i get home and smoke some "weed" (i use the term loosely) i'll write some more.
so it's been quite a weekend--full of ass banging, substance abuse, and eardrum blistering electronic music. soundgard came into town on friday and we spent most of that day abusing painkillers, weed, and jimmy john's. we watched quite a few films as well, but i think i was only semi-conscious for most of them. i do remember spiderman 3, mr brooks, and evan almighty, and except for the latter which was kinda "bleh", they were really entertaining. also we watched "the host" on sunday when we were recovering, and it was FUCKING AMAZING. gard also pointed out to me that the whole movie might be a huge metaphor for the hatred the rest of the world has for america, and how we continue to buttfuck asia and the middle east in their raw bleeding buttholes. i never realized this before. i recommend that everyone check this movie out since it's not just a sweet monster movie with no cheesy moments and has elements of suspense, horror, and comedy.
so.. soul asylum went off without a hitch. we took the amtrak from milwaukee to chicago at around 5 and made it to chicago by 7. we bummed around the city briefly and took a cab ride to a shady looking area of south chicago where it aimlessly tried to find the entrance to the party. while doing that, we saw about 10 cops with vests and swat gear standing outside a warehouse at which point we were like "fuck". so we eventually found the entrance, paid and got in, and it turned out to be an absolutely huge and HOT underground warehouse. we weren't there for more than a half hour until the cops shut it down. at least they nicely asked everyone to leave, and didn't search or mess with anyone. so we stood outside of this warehouse for a good hour, hoping infared (the party promoters) would have a backup location. luckly, a kind dj offered us a ride in his SUV to the new location. it turned out to be the upstairs of a building on the north end of town and within a few hours they had setup the sound. the venue was also cool cause it had multiple chill rooms and such. jade + hyde threw down a bangin' set. there was also some great hardcore played, although i don't remember the name of the djs. we were all dancing our asses off, and by about 5 am we were all pretty beat. so we decided to hitch a ride back to the train station around 6:30 and haggardly chilled there until our train was boarding. it was actually kinda stressful, since we all smelled like a dead gorilla's anus and all the other passengers avoided us like the plague.
so we got back to milwaukee around 10, and fortunately my car was still there even though i had parked in a "no parking zone". thank god for that. we were all still pretty faced (except matt), so we just sat around watching tv and movies. eventually we got a pizza and it was delicious.
i really don't know what else to say. i have been continuing to move all my non-furniture shit out of my house so this weekend i can just concentrate on the big stuff. i don't think living at my parents house will be too bad. free food, no real chores or responsibilities, although i won't be able to come home and rage madd weed like i am used to. i now will have to wait until they are asleep. damnit. and i guess i'm not allowed to have people over at all either, but that's alright since it will now force me to go out more often.
