I hope that everyone had a Happy Thanksgiving; I ended up being stranded in bed with my unpredictable back. All is well though, because I got some well needed rest, and was able to play lots of video games (which was fun). I appreciate all of the well wishes from everyone, and return them right [...]

5SF: november 28
Published by November 28th, 2008 in five song friday, listen up!, mixed media, music musings, music suggestion, tragic and wtf?!. 0 CommentsWhen I was in college (undergrad), my roommate Dennis was a vegetarian, and being extremely health conscious at the time, I thought that it might be an interesting option for myself, and so I decided to give being a vegetarian a try. I ended up lasting about two years before I had meat (I was [...]
5SF: november 21
Published by November 21st, 2008 in all about me, britney n' k-fed, five song friday, music musings, music suggestion and near and dear. 5 CommentsIt was hard not to post any of the leaked tracks from Britney’s upcoming album, Circus this week, because frankly, it is quite good. She has really worked hard this time around, and it really shows; I see big things for her in the near future. However, since it isn’t technically out yet, I don’t [...]
First of all, at lunch, I was reaching in my pocket to grab my wallet, and a goddamned business card turned into a rogue ninja and sliced the fuck out of my finger; under the fingernail. Seriously, it still stings. How does shit like this always happen to me? UPDATE: Literally, two seconds ago, I [...]
a couple of quick notes about me of the now
Published by November 19th, 2008 in all about me, blog on blog, music musings and school. 6 CommentsAs November gets closer to its end, I am more and more excited (and at the same time, anxious) about my annual blogging tradition of picking, and blogging my top 31 CDs of the year. There are some amazing records on this year’s list, and with each week’s subsequent CD releases, it’s only make things [...]
mingafred/bobaling wedding
Published by November 17th, 2008 in flickr, friends, near and dear and photography. 2 CommentsHowever you want to call it, mingafred or bobaling (the combining of mingaling and bobafred), two of my close friends, Lori and Brian got hitched this weekend. It was an intimate, and beautiful ceremony. They had their own flair, and added a crazy tradition (which was effin’ cool) or two, which made the ceremony both [...]
5SF: november 14
Published by November 14th, 2008 in blog on blog, five song friday, listen up!, music musings, music suggestion, show the love and that is so gay. 5 CommentsInitially, I was planning on doing a homage post of some great one hit “oneders” from the 90s for today. However, last night, as I started looking, I kept finding songs I hadn’t heard in ages, and ended up finding WAY more than 5 songs that I would love to bring back out of obscurity, [...]
WTF Out magazine? Katy Perry as musician of the year? Are you JOKING?
Published by November 13th, 2008 in civil rights, is it just me?, listen up!, that is so gay, tragic, venting, well? and wtf?!. 21 CommentsWell, Out, you’ve gone and pulled another “WTF” moment on us with your recent choice of Katy “UR So Gay” Perry as MUSICIAN OF THE YEAR!!!!?!?!?!??! Regular readers know that I was been pissed at them before for outing celebrities (one of which has come out on her own since), so I guess that I [...]
Last night, I was driving home from having drinks with a friend, and I was not in the mood for whatever CD I had in at the time, so I thought I would see what was playing over on trusty XM. A little background… I have had XM ever since I got my Acura, back [...]
as if I needed another reason to love Sara Bareilles
Published by November 10th, 2008 in civil rights, politics, show the love and that is so gay. 1 CommentThere are a whole bunch of people speaking out against Prop 8, and I was pleased to get this email from one of my very favorite singers, Ms. Sara Bareilles, the other day: Dear Californians, I don’t normally delve into the political spectrum, but this particular issue is very important to me and I want [...]
