well i was going to post that song i made, but tumblr only takes mp3s and i dont know if i can render the master as such, so its fate is for now undecided. instead, heres a video of pakistani leader pervez musharraf retiring from the military after 50 years in uniform, the last 6 of which having been as the nation’s effective military dictator. the purpose of his resignation is so that he...
failure imminent
ok so my goal for the week (due today) as mentioned here was that i was going to put up my first song using ableton for all of you to hear. sadly i dont know if its gonna happen by today. i worked on it a bunch last night, but i still have to rehearse a presentation im giving for a class, finish citation crap on a term paper, and go record some bass tracks for a friend. i think im gonna go with...

worst...childrens....story.....everrrrr
if anyone wants to take the liberty of turning this into a comic/horrible childrens story, go ahead. just make sure to kick me some from the back end profit. anyways, i had this dream where there was a dinosaur, i think he was an allosaurus. anyways, suffice it to say, a large therapsid who was a mormon and all he wanted to do was chat with people a little about joseph smith and jesus in america...

names
i like the fact that french revolutionaries decided one day to rename the months. their idea was the change the names to better reflect the seasons and, in kind, better reflect the agrarian conditions of the country at those times of the year. this extended from the notion that the gallic peasantry figuratively rose from the very soil of france. unfortunately it didnt really stick. a century...
thought
george carlin’s involvement in bill and ted always confused me until i watched the movie again like 2 years ago. thats when i got all the jokes i didnt understand when i was 9.
opinion
i think one of the down sides of living in oregon is that, despite the nigh constant rain for many months of the year, there is never any lighting. i miss that about texas
question
what the hell is ‘kid nation’?

you know how often the slightest detail about someone can be the most telling about their personality as a whole? like that one habit can sum up the person better than an explanation that would take days. i have been witness to one of these phenomena. i had a roommate a few years back. we lived in a big house with a bunch of dudes (dream scenario sophomore year, right? a pool table in the kitchen...

i, like most casual news followers, am fascinated with nocalis sarkozy and for one very good reason; he’s different. i dont mean ‘different’ in the american cadidate campaign commercial or the kfc bbq snacker vs regular snacker kind of way, but sarkozy actually has the potential to cause a major shift in the cultural face of the french politican. its always interesting to watch...
Cinematic Phenomena
Here are some weird things, and they are movie related: Lately, all 6 Star Wars movies have been on the movie tier of the digital cable a whole lot. If “The Empire Strikes Back” is playing, guaranteed when I turn it on, within 5 minutes will come the scene right after the Millenium Falcon reactivates its hyperdrive and eludes the Death Star. Darth Vader angrily walks off and as he...

brilliant. i chose this one to lead you to the gold mine that is the ‘pajiba guide to whats good for you’ (go read them all) and because i vividly remember fast forwarding through the credits on my vhs copy of robin hood: prince of thieves to get to bryan adams scratchily crooning in sherwood forest.
i do some pickin’ and a singin’ and a cello-in’ and some arrangin’ (ok those last two dont really fit the form) with my friend evan sometimes. he’s making an effort to get it a little more together, so we had our friend blake take some pictures for us a few days ago. also, the inherent admission of narcissim involved in starting a blog to begin with allows me to post...
breakfast at the speed of sharon OR come home...
so i went up to portland with a few friends on friday to go hang out with a few other friends and, although i brought my camera, completely failed to take any pictures. sad times. but i did buy 3 books (stranger in a strange land, the autobiograohy of mark twain, and world war z) and a pair of pants that took me until today to realize might be the very pants matthew mcconaughey wore in dazed and...
in other news, i wanted to link it up to my friend matt’s record label website. i had the pleasure of playing in my previous band with matt for a few years and he has taken on the task of releasing our last ep, as well as a bunch of other good friends’ records. he’s living in ecuador right now, but dont let that stop you from ordering something. i hear they have this thing called...

– jakob lodwick. now considering i’m sort of in the man’s backyard being on tumblr, i’m sure you all watched the interview from which this quote is drawn. my feelings on him are mixed, but you can’t deny he’s right, and from what little i know it seems vimeo is one of a...
