Rekindling an Old Flame
I recently ran into an old flame recently. Circumstances always prevented us from being in a serious relationship, but regardless we were still good friends.
Here are snippets of some of the things I said during our encounter.
Me: Hey, how have you been doing?
…
Me: I haven’t seen you in years!
….
Me: Good good, you look great by the way.
….
Me: I’m just...

Entry #7 - Dentistry Girl
Prospective Female:
Dentistry Grad Student?
Thoughts:
The classic story of girl meets boy, girl needs to fix bike, boy offers to fix said bike, boy drunkenly tells girl to find him on Facebook, and then girl never contacts him again?
Level of Inebriation:
First Meeting: Painfully and awkwardly shy
Second Meeting: “Oh I’ll fix your bike ^_^!!! FIND ME ON FACEBOOK!” (Note:...

the empty new year
For some reason at the beginning of every year, I have trouble remembering the date. While I was in grade school, upon returning from winter break, I would always date my papers and homework assignments with the previous year’s date. This was simply because it was out repetition and habit of doing the same thing for the entirety of the previous year.
Just last year, I wrote a rent check to...
Year in Retrospect
The year I rode my bike a lot
The year that I had more bicycles (7) than girlfriends (1)
The year that I finally realized I actually had my heart broken in the summer of 2008
The year that I saw some art and didn’t really understand much of it
The year that I finally acted like I had my heart broken
The year that I went a little crazy in the months following that fateful night on June...

Top 20 Songs of 2009
2009 was an odd year for me. It was also the year where I didn’t stray too much outside the boundaries of not too abstract indie-rock with noisy, lo-fi, or garage-ish characteristics. Still, it was a good year for music and here are my top 20 songs of the year.
20. “Young Adult Friction” by The Pains of Being Pure At Heart
A simple and purely infectious poppy song. Maybe...

Entry #6 - 3 Dudes and No Chicks
Prospective Female(s):
Three chicks, two of which I had the green light to holler at.
Thoughts:
So two of my friends call me up, saying they have a surefire plan to hang out with some girls. I have relatively no experience with this activity of group flirtation?
The plan was one girl was supposed to call my friend after she got off work. She was going to bring two of her girl friends, and...
And Now Back to Your Regularly Scheduled...
Hello friends. It has been awhile since we have conversed.
Finals week murdered my life. And then right after finals week, I decided to embark on a journey from LA to SF via bicycle. Go figure.
What a better way to ease melancholy than to go bike touring in the frigid cold weather of the Pacific Coast, and bike and camp for 492 miles.
Box.net has decided to not let me hotlink to Mp3’s...

Guy That I Want To Be Like #3 - Spiderman from...
Now that I am well on my way to the first steps of my makeover both physically and mentally, not only do I feel like I have a hop in my step, but I have a goddamned swagger. Which brings me to the next dude that I want to be like, Spiderman.
Now before I go any further, let me mention that I don’t want to be just any Spiderman, but I want to specifically be like Spiderman in Spiderman 3....

I’ve been watching older episodes of The Simpsons, when I came across this gem. Oh Ralph Wiggum, how I sympathize with you.
To set the scene, Lisa gives Ralph a pity Valentine’s Day card because she feels bad for him. As a result, Ralph invites Lisa to Krusty’s 28th Anniversary Show. Krusty goes into the audience for an interview and asks Ralph about his “girlfriend”...

Reasons Why Girls Won't Date Me #4 - I Am A Self...
Upon turning 21 and becoming a grown ass man, I feel like a burden has been lifted up from my shoulders while also a curse has been put on me simultaneously. No longer must I roam the streets concealing my booze, as I will be granted entry into the swinging nightlife of the mecca that is Los Angeles. This could be a blessing or it may very well be the death of me.
The first time I ever had...

Concert Followup
The Pixies concert last thursday was awesome as expected. Filled with a pretty diverse age group, but there was definitely a fair share of old 30-40 yr old dudes living in the past, drunkenly yelling “PIXIES!!!” at the top of their lungs, while we were eagerly awaiting their set. It was pretty amazing to be able to see such an iconic and influential band that was before my time play...
