LONG TIME...no see.

Not really here to post anything. It's all on facebook. Which is what this is about. I'm considering getting rid of it. Moving far away with 2 of my friends. Today we decided to all elope. All 3 of us at the same time.

Also, at my college we have this food place called 'the commons'. Generic college name for everything. Anyways it's a huge facility that has 9 different buffets, and one is for coffee...awesome right? Yes. So at the beginning of the semester we could grab as many philly cheesteaks or pieces of pizza that we wanted then one day...we had to have 'assistance' and a 2 per trip rule was enforced. Me and my 2 pals wondered why, and one said 'well i saw this guy that got 8 hamburgers the other day...probably him that caused this rule' Until today I never saw this man. But today as I sat and ate my curly fries and risotto (great combo) I'm preeetty sure it was him that sat at the table next to mine.

Let me describe him.

Thinks he's funny, but in fact he is not.
Waaay too loud. Waaay too many fat jokes.
Etc.

Anyways, I think it was him because when they got to the table he said 'I'll watch the stuff and someone get me food' Which I know if code for 'I'll stay here so I don't have to walk back downstairs' It's a 2 story facility FYI.

And they asked what he wanted he responded with '2 pieces of pizza, a grilled cheese and 4 cheesburgers.'

Oh my goodness. I immediately texted my friends and we concluded it was him that ruined it all.

And to top it off, all the cups upstairs where I was were gone so I had to go downstairs to get a cup and back upstairs to get my sweet tea. Then some super nice girl looked over and said 'I brought up a bunch of cups for people!'

Then one of this dude's friend went and took the stack, guess what they did with them? Stacked them on the table in pyramid formation. Geez.

Anyways. That was my day. Guess I had something to say after all.

Question.

I am trying to figure out why Miley Cyrus is panning to write an autobiography. I mean, sure she is a teeny-bopping-diva but still, eventually it will be over and all she will have to remember it is that book she once wrote. It runs in the family, you become famous, write some good songs...then fall off the planet. Just like everyone else Miley, you're gonna fall too.

My REAL question is, are you ever too young to write an autobiography? I ask this because My sister wants to do so, she is 20. And just when you think 'What could you possibly write about' I'll have you know that neither me nor my sister had a good childhood. Yes I know we aren't famous or anything but I think it could be a lot more interesting to read that story than one about Miley throwing hissy fits and being the idol of 10 year olds, who wouldn't have landed that gig if she wasn't Billy Ray Cyrus' daughter. SOOOO....maybe I'm the only one, but I don't find that enthralling at all. 

I guess you can't be too young to write a memoir. Since you're never too young to have a past right? Just because I'm not in the public eye doesn't mean people wouldn't find it interesting right?

Hmmm...

Vince ShamWow and Mighty Muggs.


I'll add some photos for your viewing pleasure. 
For those who don't know, Vince is the man from the ShamWow commercials, and just when I thought nobody could de-throne king of the infomercial Billy Mays this skinny dude came along. Now, where do I stand on this matter? Billy has been around for years, bringing us many classics such as OxyClean, he is indeed an old favorite. While he not as loud and crazy as Vince ShamWow, yeah I am pretty sure that is what his birth certificate actually says, he can still sell the most ridiculous items.
So Vince Vs. Billy? Who wins? Today this competition goes to the new kid on the block Vince ShamWow, only because he said 'bikini' in one of his commercials I unfortunately saw today. Sometimes I wish I didn't have television. But then I couldn't watch Jeopardy! or National Geographic...educational television!!!
Now on to something slightly more appealing, Mighty Muggs. All of the nerds out their probably know what they are. I'll give you a description...they're these little plastic guys that are made from 100% recycled awesome, whether they are actually recycled or not I don't know. Anyways, they come in various comic/movie/geek personalities. I have Darth Maul, and a few others...The best part about these bad boys is you can get a plain black or plain white mighty mugg and create your own, or just spray a primer on an extra one if you'd rather not order a blank online. The possibilities are endless. Sure it may end up looking awful but who cares, it is your little masterpiece! 
Conclusion, I am starting to design my first two. Hopefully they look good, it will probably take a few tries. I will primer paint and shine these babies and carefully place them in their custom made box, which I'll design, take a photo for my portfolio... Then I will mail them off to their future owners. And you don't know them. When I am working on them I'll post some photos of the process and finished product. 
Here are some examples of the kinds you can pick up at local toy stores...
I happen to own quite a few...not Venom, but I want him...
Alrighty, now some custom work
Start with the blank black or white.
Then create Master Chief...
Or
A Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle.

That must really take some hard work and skill...

Music I've just discovered.

Alright, a few artists that I recently just listened to, or got pretty into even if I've heard them before.

Animal Collective- Makes me wanna dance...

MGMT- Makes me want to dance even more, even in public.

Brett Dennen- Very relaxing to listen to, as if I am riding shot gun on a trip and I look out into the vast nothingness of land that surrounds me. Music that gets my thoughts wandering to all sorts of various subjects. He is great.

Check them all out. Please.


Short post. I'll do some more music research and put up some of my favorites. I tend to buy CDs that appeal to me even if I haven't listened to the band before. I can't just stick to the same stuff. Of course I have my lifetime favorites, just have to try something new.

Speaking of which, if you think your day needs a little more suspense do what I do...
When I go to a place like Starbucks, they ask what I want and I ask back 'What tastes good?' they suggest something, and I get it. Trying new stuff. New experiences, I have to be open to them. Also... I am trying to learn French...

Vancouver!

Alright. Finally at the hotel after our 2 flights today. It isn't very cold here. I am pleasantly surprised. As well as tired....long day. I didn't sleep on the plane. Tomorrow Brook and I hit up the shopping. Like we need to... I love this place already.


I should buy a house.

PS I am kinda sad that T&S play after BSS friday, but I think I can deal.

I don't know what else I can do whilst I am here. Ideas?

An Horse, lost luggage and falling down on sidewalks.

Alrighty, back with less to say than ever before! Me and my sister hop a plane on wednesday take two flights to get to Vancouver. We are trying to avoid taking luggage other than our carry ons. I know it seems a bit silly, but I don't want to end up on Vancouver with my bag still in Salt Lake City, Utah. Ya' dig? I'll post a blog whilst waiting for my second flight...if I have time.

I know the sidewalks there are going to be death traps. And I know I am going to fall down at some point, or will I? I bought some North Face boots the other day, and not only will my feet stay toasty but they will also keep me from making a fool of myself in public. Like bullet proof vests, short term memory loss and diapers...helpful in those unbearable social situations. Not like I'd know.

We're going to the Tegan and Sara/Broken Social Scene concert Feb. 6th. Ballin'. And we're sitting front row, Sara's side. It will be fantastic. In fact. I'm dressing up for the occasion, wearing my favorite vest. Just for you Sara!

Finally. I'm trying to expose everyone I work with to An Horse, I sneak their songs onto some mix CDs I make to play whilst we work (in the mall) and see how much they like them. It's going well so far. 

So buy their album 'Rearrange Beds' on iTunes. Now. Please. Thanks. 

I give it 2 thumbs up! Maybe even a high five.


I read Shaun's blog. (simplelifeofarockstar.blogspot.com)
And he reminded me of those 8 year olds I see in the mall talking on their cell phone. I got mine when I was 14, and going to New York, and got texting at 17...but really 8 year olds? It seems like kids have phones before they've learned English properly. Flippin' craaazy.


Later gators.

YouTube is losing it.

Everyone keeps copyrighting their videos on YouTube. So now I can't watch like half of the ones I love to watch. Bummer. 

It makes me so happy and it is slowly disappearing...

:(

Sad day.

Better news, Vancouver in a week!!

Also if you haven't listened to it, and you should've because it has been out for a long while now. No excuses. 
Listen to The Killers album 'Day and Age'

I especially love this album. Hot Fuss is still my favorite album by The Killers. But this was like a flashback to their synthesizer sound I loved so much back in the day. I'm even wearing my Hot Fuss t-shirt right now. 

And if you just happen to be feeling down and aren't lactose intolerant...eat Ben and Jerry's 'Phish Food' ice cream. It is ballin'. 
If you are lactose intolerant, you're not alone...seeing as most people become lactose intolerant at some point. Like bee stings, you can become deathly allergic to those things. Weird huh?
