Where are you!?!

Hello Readers,

I’m sorry I have been MIA over the past week or so.  I’ve been writing like a mad man, trying to get in these final papers for end of term.  I just wanted to drop a quick line to let people know that, yes, I am still alive and well.  Well I wouldn’t say I am well because I’m crazy stressed, but I am indeed alive.  I was going to take a picture of myself under a pile of books, but I decided that would take way too much effort and lets face it, it would be kind of a weird thing to do.  I’ll just leave you with the mental image.

If you have thirteen minutes to spare, you should definitely give this a watch.

Throwback Friday

Hello followers,

It has been a while since I last made an actual post.  I’m not counting the Koston interview because I really didn’t write anything.  I’ve been really busy writing papers and catching up on reading because this semester is finally coming to a close.  Anyways, I had a little down time last night after hockey, so I decided to visit my buddy Geoff.  Back in high school, me, Geoff and a bunch of the other guys used to play video games all the time (Seriously, all the time).  Sometimes I look back and think, “oh man, we were so lame”.  However, I know deep deep deep down inside we were awesome.  Now, were just really lame.  So yeah, we played Left For Dead 2 and killed zombies for a significant portion of the night.  It was kind of funny, I haven’t played video games in a really long time and I was starting to get a headache.  I remember back in my gaming prime headaches just didn’t happen.  Does this mean I’m getting old?  I found myself getting really over stimulated and kind of agitated.  Seriously, is it too much to ask for a warm glass of milk, a novel and hopping into bed at a reasonable hour?  This post was pointless, but at least my one viewer knows I’m still alive.

Insomnia…

Not being able to sleep is the worst.  I know people do a lot of different things to help them fall asleep.  I’ve always been told to count and I’m really not sure why.  In fact, I don’t think that particular method has ever worked for me.  Anyways, what I usually do is read.  Reading doesn’t really make me want to fall asleep, but its a good way to pass the time.  Here is what I’ve been reading…

Rad fact of the night!  They’re teaching a class that is focused entirely on graphic novels at my university.  This is almost as rad as that Tupac Poetry class they teach at UCLA.  But yeah, this is what I’m doing right now.  Yes, I could be doing something more productive, but really, its a little late for homework.

I bet your preschool didn’t look like this…

Well alright, this isn’t actually a preschool, but a Boys and Girls Club located in Wayne, New Jersey.  The design is by the Hangar Design Group, for more pictures check out the Contemporist.

Target.

Yesterday, my girlfriend and I drove into Bellingham to shop at Target.  Over the past couple weeks, we have been talking about how cheap and awesome Target is and how we should definitely check it out.  Luckily, my car survived the drive and we made it there and back safely.  So yeah, overall it was a good little trip.  Fun times with Courtney, purchased an abundance of cheap goods and topped it all off with some good ol’ American grunge.

How often do you see ham, mac ‘n’ cheese, bread and a piece of Pizza all on one plate?  Unless you’re three hundred pounds the answer is probably, not often.  This was round one.  American grunge in full effect.

Swag

This past weekend I bought a 1990 Cannondale SR600 from a nice gentleman in Kits.  It is pretty sweet.  Unfortunately, due to Vancouver weather the bike won’t be seeing action anytime soon.  For the meantime, the bike will be hibernating in my basement.
