Happy Birthday from the GOP

I realized today that the Republican National Convention is going to be going on during my birthday (Sept 2nd). Maybe this is a sign I am getting older - I turn 26 and the world gives me a city full of Republicans… not that I am complaining, but why couldn’t it be the All Star [...]


Another Good Day - Art and House Update

Yaay! Today was another awesome day.
I woke up this morning to a phone call from 2nd moon. It was the owner Cindy calling to verify that it was indeed cool to have an opening for my show there in May/June. She said it was cool to have wine/cheese etc. Sweeeeeet! I’ll be sending out invites [...]


A Great Day : Work, House, and Art Update…

It has been a very busy time lately and as such, I have been bad about writing. That is not to say that nothing is going on, however. Here are some updates in my world…
I got a call yesterday from Petra (my fav barista) at 2nd Moon coffee shop to confirm my solo show in [...]


Al Pacino’s Jock Strap Party

I’ve never thought myself to be homophobic. I’m normally pretty supportive of LGBT issues. I even might be a wee bit flattered when I get hit on by a guy. I’m usually pretty cool about “gender” issues in general, even though the idea of trans-men giving birth and half sex changes is odd territory [...]


Let’s Hear it For the Boy

I just want to publicly express a bit of admiration and pride for my little brother Matt. I found out yesterday that he is going to  Atlanta in June for the FBLA Nationals.  His team  took first place in regionals and second place at state competition this previous weekend. They move on to compete with [...]


The Stone Age didn’t end for lack of stone…

The Stone Age didn’t end for lack of stone, and the oil age will end long before the world runs out of oil.
An interesting quote I jotted down while riding bike and watching Richard Branson on Charlie Rose tonite. A perhaps obvious, but not embraced thought from the talk was that there is one side [...]


Fred Rogers Testifies before Senate

I heard on the vomitus podcast 21 that there was a clip floating on Youtube about Fred Rogers testifying before senate in 1969 to secure funding for public television. Nixon wanted to cut the PBS grant in half and Fred Rogers went in and kicked some ass… in the relaxed Mr. Rogers style he is [...]


Toxic ‘dillas, Fire Orks, and No Mas Fumare

p.s. I didn’t proofread this and I really don’t otherwise care. So my apologizes for a lengthy ramble about my weekend…
Today was a bit of a clusterfuck. I will keep it short since the personal blogs are usually boring for others. Today started last night when Jon and I were hanging out wrapping up [...]


SPORE E3 Video

This game just looks rad. I’m not a gamer whatsoever… I think the last game I played was tetris online a month ago… but either way, this looks rad!
From the post: Will Wright talking at the 2005 Game Developer’s Conference about ‘Spore’, which looks like it could possibly be the best video game ever.


Alpha, primo, uno

Greetings everyone. I’m doing something I said I never would - starting a blog…
Historically, I found blogs mostly self-absorbed and trivial as a lot of the blogs I read were about the authors’ day to day meanderings. However, since actively deciding not clutter the web with entries about what I ate for lunch or rants, [...]
