been awhile!

okay so i told myself i wouldn't get far behind on this but it looks like i have. though i never meant to, its been a little crazy lately with all of that holiday bs and actually being social for once i really don't know what to do with myself. i will be glad when the holiday season is over with mostly because it has hindered me going to the mall for anything -- literally, i really don't want to shop for anyone because that means i have to park, and by park i mean park in the neighboring state because there are fifty million people fighting for the one "prime" parking spot that isn't even that wonderful.... so instead i take the option of fighting with the oncoming traffic speeding at me in the parking lot and hoof my way through to reach nordstroms or macy's depending on my poison. i'm a pretty patient person i'd say though really i am not that patient i hate most people, most scenarios and i am usually screaming in my car fifteen minutes into my drive home from work because of some douchebag -- to make a long story short: i hate shopping and i hate shopping in any sense so that means either for me, for someone else and definitely for the holiday season fuck that shit people can wait until january for their presents because honestly i am not going to fight with a million and a half old lady soccer mom's in minivans for the last pair of cozy slipper socks in "lilac." thank the baby jesus that this shit is almost over i can't say i'm a big fan of the destiny's child version of the little drummer boy

colder than a witches tit in a brass bra outside

first and foremost: happy thanksgiving, turkey day, stuff till you puke day, gorge day; whatever you feel like calling it. i for one love thanksgiving, not because of the quality time i get to spend with my family, because my mom is a rad cook and i always get a shatload of leftovers to feed my fat face for at least a couple of days and this really does make not needing to find some sort of source of food for the next couple of days, easy but along with the happy thanksgiving, i hope everyone had a safe/good one. i believe i am coming down with some sort of plague yet again which means that mr. clean and his anti-bacterial wipes aren't doing what i need them to be doing and thanks to that i have a nice case of ebola working on my immune system right now. i can't say that i feel all that bad, i've got a stuffy nose, and a sorta swollen sore throat and i'm managing to spit up things i've seen in horror movies and yes that is gross but well, i am gross. but when it looks bleak that i am never going to recover from the awful chills and the yearning to be in bed when i am at work; my diet of airborn, nyquil, dayquil and whatever other medicines i can get my sausage fingers on, is helping me through it. a rousing round of events at my apartment lately, i am sleeping the worst EVER mostly because i hate spiders, and not just oh ew yuck spiders, like.... i HATE spiders and i rarely get spiders in my apartment which is a shock considering i used to find a ton of spiders in my old place in california and its twice as wet and cold up here in the pacific northwest i didn't understand the logic. so really, when i see a spider in my apartment its never in a spot where it can easily be killed -- no no, that'd be too easy of course i live in a place with vaulted ceilings (3rd floor) and the tend to nuzzle themselves nicely above the arch-way to my bathroom which is pretty much the highest point in my apartment and they tend to trick me into thinking they're going to stay there for the night. i would love to believe said bastard spiders but the fuckers never stay there. when i see a spider its usually in the wave of time in my life where i am taking medication to induce sleeping; mind you i spend 3 months not sleeping at all and the one day i would want to sleep: spiderville. they sit in one spot for 3 hours or so until i am super drowsy and can't stay awake and i fall asleep unfortunately lying in the most uncomfortable position ever, and i wake up 3 hours later to see the spider has migrated across the ceiling to the opposite wall, still nuzzled in a crack. so really i've got it mapped down pretty well now and i am onto their traversing across the ceiling over my head probably shitting in my mouth since i am sick and i'm sure i'm snoring up a wicked storm, and then they sit and wait again for me to fall asleep, and wake up and to see them traversing again but this time overhead, and down the wall where the head of my bed is, and these aren't the fat california spiders theyre all quick and shit and in a nut shell i spent most of my night sleeping on my futon watching whatever is on nbc late-night until i fell asleep with my arm up my ass and my head cocked all weird and all my limbs asleep. this really is the only exciting story i've got tricked you made you think i had more exciting shit to write about but i dont!!! though i am curious to know why my fish seems to want to jump out of his bowl all of the time, he swims all fast back and forth like a douche its weird he's giving me a coronary.

portland is pouring

i am glad the rain held out until it was dark and i was driving home on HWY 224 i've made in home in one piece and i am convinced the attachment to my ipod via cigarette lighter in my car hates me, and hates my ipod, and my ipod hates me because i can never get it to want to sound right, and my ipod seems to hate the cancer bats played too loud. i tend to drive too fast while listening to this is hell, i don't recommend it; speaking of the cancer bat's i've been listening to them for the past week, i suggest them i suggest them in a serious way

dear michael k of dlisted.com - dont care if you're gay, i love you xox me

i am super stoked to finally be indulging in a weekend though unlike summer, it's not thursday the usual day off i've been seeing officially for months now, but who cares i am stoked to finally relax and i can take my sidekick timer off 6:45AM that i always change to 7:15AM and sleep in until god know's when (9AM) and start my day.....

i don't know what i will do with myself
i have a half a tank of gas, and the entire city of portland at my fingertips though i never know what to do! i had thai food with my mom tonight, schmoozed with the parents, and drove back home to my crappy apartment playing the following songs:


by the way i will use something different to upload these once i can get it to work.... if some link expires and you want it, just tell me

"somebody rock me" -the killers/the clash; it's from an album called "clash killers" and personally i hate the killers though i've been known to like their gayness, and personally i love everything the clash so i was curious to hear this, i found it off knrk.com which if you're not a portland resident it's our local alternative station and by alternative not usually top 40's but some slips by.... one of the dj's who plays my favorite segment of that station posted a site by a dj named 'party ben' and this is one of his things. i play it pretty regularly in the car and oddly enough it made me wanna listen to the killers again.....

"hella dare you to smoke" - gorillaz/no doubt/deep purple; again 'party ben' doing my car's shitty stereo justice. this is probably my favorite mash-up though i have to say lately the amy winehouse remix is fucken as rad as shit can get i swear, but this comes in a smooth 2nd/1st/tied with the other ones. i'm finding these songs to be good songs to do a lot of things to and if you're like me, which is a slob, who needs motivation to workout or really to do anything, these songs make it pretty easy to get up off my ass, and stop staring at my itunes wondering what to play

"rehab" - amy winehouse (breaks remix); extra long, extra rad, if you like amy winehouse check it out personally this might be the favorite though i claim the other two to be the favorite as well so whatever they all are awesome i am indecisive i can't pick, i pick them all!!!


dear E!

yes yes!

i am not sure that portland has been this beautiful before; though i know i haven't really seen the city in every sort of light it possesses i can say that right now fall is an amazing season to hit this city even though the fallen leaves have turned into a problem especially when it does rain and well when i see the house down the street float on by, i will wave from my third floor apartment and say it's beautiful though, huh?!?!?
