we don't change 

"nope, we don't change, we never do" - counselor refrencing daylight savings.

Is that why this state has been so far behind in keeping up the responsibilities due of being the 5th largest city In America.

Think about it.

We don't have a Disney Land or a Six flags (yet?)
We don't have a subway system or a monorail system (yet)
We dont have a FAO Schwartz.
We don't have a NFL team.

I will update more when I can remember the other things we are missing.

With Teeth 

Only 3 more days till NIN's return to the valley of burning sand.
The last time I saw trent and his crew was a little under 11 years ago back In 1994 at the Veterans Memorial Coliseum on the Arizona state fair grounds.

NIN was the first band I ever saw in concert, Marilyn Manson and The Jim Rose Circus were the opening acts.
Being under the age of 16 then My mother drove a girl "Jennifer" and I to the concert that hot, muggy night over a decade ago.
I didn't know it at the time but Jennifer had worked me for my extra ticket. I should have seen the signs but I was your typical, clumsy, inexperienced teenager.
My mother also purchased a ticket ...she did not sit with us.

We arrived late since right before we left I popped out my right contact to clean it and it escaped down the drain never to be seen again.

The concert was amazing and hands down still one of the best I have ever attended.
It also had one of the craziest mosh pits crowds I have ever witnessed.People were throwing each other in the air and catching them, girls were flashing the crowd, people were lighting their shirts on fire and running in circles.

So now I eagerly anticipate the first of two back to back concert nights with trent and the dresden dolls <---> <---> squint free.

below is a question asked to trent on Nin.com, his response, priceless :P.

American Garbage 

I think the floating bag caught in the wind is a perfect cinematic commentary on how people in america think garbage is beautiful and as a whole have a very introverted view, You have all been PUNKED.

The evidence is all around us.

P.s. I still dislike that movie except for when what's her face takes her shirt off.
Crass? yup.

bastion of the last celery stalk cadaver 

Does anyone else ever notice that when you are having a super synaptic day everything else can't seem to be moving fast enough?
I am explicitly referring to movement.

Am I the only one who periodically experiences such phenomenon.

I like how when spell checker finds no errors it tell you in bold black sterile type Spell Check Complete (no errors found)
I pray for the day that they have a grammer checker and test it on me.
woe to the servers on that day.

The fall of a man up the stairs 

The holy trinity must be in heat because it is scorching outside.
I wonder if Jesus uses Viagra?

Black Power 

Why do an overwhelming majority of black youth sit at the back of the bus?
When they board a bus, most of or all of the black youth take a seat at the back.
Do they not remember Rosa Parks and her achievment at slaying one of the mighty dragons of Injustice?

I want to know...

a perfect example of "the more things change, the more they stay the same."

Star Wars III - Jedi Unit!! 

A pillar of American Pop Culture.

The prestige of going to the midnight showing is more than just saying you were there on the first night. It' about geeking out, a geek coallition of the willing i.e a geek festival. Hundres of fans lining up, some dressing up as Jedi Knights of the Republic others as dark Lords of the Sith, sharing stories of the last two film premiers the older star wars goers sharing their experiences from the original films, reenacting lightsabers battles in the hallways, taking pictures with other line attendants who you befriended, conversing on the philosophy of the star wars universe, sharings thoughts on favorite video games, Star Wars trivia and the list goes on and on.

It was magical and in this era, magic is sparse. I am glad I was a part of it.

wow 

I can't remember the last time I logged into blogger and posted in less that 20 seconds.

Organic Bosc pears are delicious 

Last night my daughter, my dad and I went shopping @ Whole Foods Market.
Watching my daughter run to the arms of my father to give him a hug and a kiss was a stout reminder of how lucky I am to have a family that loves my daughter so much.
It was a cinematic moment and even as I compose this I can clearly see my daughter reaching out for my dad and my father reaching down to swoop her in his arms.

I pity those who seek permanent emotional nourishment in such open ended endeavors as money, drugs or infallible logic.

People say that none of the above can buy you happiness and that's not true.
These things can buy you happiness but there is something quite different about love that is given freely and I would imagine this love tends to propagate itself throughout the years versus attenuating.

How many friends do you have like that?

P.s. Organic Bosc pears are also very expensive @ $ 2.69 lb.

Star Wars: Tree Edition 

Tonight 18 of my closest geeks and I shall begin one of the most important odyssey's a geek can undertake.

The journey to see the Star Wars III Revenge of the Sith @ AMC.

I chose AMC because they have a penchant for showing patrons every preview of any movie coming out soon and their plush chairs to rest ones derrier in.

It's going to be life changing,

and the best part is I am sorrounded by a Mimis Cafe, Ra sushi Bar, Cofee shop, Barnes & Noble, Neo Tokoyo and a Rubios Mexican Grill.

Food & spirits each no more than a stones throw away!!

g unit 

I am drinking an orange soda an eating a Digiorno pizza for lunch.
damn it feels good to be a gangsta.

apology 

I am sorry Aleica that I did not properly convey to you that my comment was meant as joke.

I thought that seeing as how you ended the post about acceptance I would come in like someone who has their head shoved up their ass about how you should live life.
ie parent, older person, people that tell you how to live your life.

I outdid myself and I look forward to our future miscommunication as it will allow us to learn more about each others personalities.

Natural vitamin C 

I have the best friends.

Not only did I attend a Pirate party on Saturday night that came with its very own stripper but later on that night after checking out my friends band Attack of the Giant Squid at Hollywood Alley, myself and 5 friends headed over to my apartment for the after party to watch Kung Fu hustle(Thank you soulseek). That's when the real fun began.

What do you get when you combine Axe body spray, a roll of toilet paper, Alcohol, two drunken Trekkies and Kung fu??

exactly.

Friend A wrapped Friend B in Toilet Paper like a mummy and set him on fire.(don't worry he's okay)
This set Friend A's shirt on fire and he ended up burning a rather large hole in it(he's still okay)

Then Friend B tried to light his undershirt on fire but for some reason it was retardant to Prometheus's gift.

Enter Axe Body spray. After dousing it in Axe, the shirt finally caught on and was herald to a reenactment from Kung fu hustle.(Friend B was not wearing the shirt)

Enter Friend C who took the flaming shirt, the last of the roll of toilet paper and threw the can of Axe body spray into it, everyone ran behind a wall before it went "Bam"

Surprisingly the cops never made an appearance.

so yea I have the best friends in the world.

a new hope 

Not neccesarily today, but two years ago I lost my right testicle to cancer. It was to say the least a very tumultuous year and thankfully I had an amazing woman by my side for the majority of it.

No regrets, just rebirth
move forward, and ignite.
Incandescent Reinvention
a new renaissance
A NEW FIRE EACH DAY

Lost pumpkin pies seeking home 

So I lost my phone and a person who calls themselves "Steve"
is in possession of my mobile leash.
I know this because "Steve" called Jessica to tell her this.
why not call my home?

well readers It's probably due to my parents home being aptly titled "hive" in the phone book, since 3/5 of my siblings were born and raised there and all under the iron rule of a Matriarchy.

I say person because until "Steve" returns my phone, I imagine him to be a cross dressing hooker whose real name is Lana Lee who quotes Burroughs and drinks Pina Coladas.

Earlier today while calling to check my messages, my curiosity was peaked if for some odd reason he/she/it managed to find a charger for my phone model since it doesn't go directly to voice mail.
Even curioser because my phone is archaic by mobile device standards and is over 3(gasp) years old...

In other news after a careful and meticulous analysis of my net earnings it has come to my attention that without the massive amounts of overtime that I have been pulling I will only have a 129 dollars after I pay for rent and childcare, this doesn't include any other monies which would be due around that time.
Score one for reality.

Fear not faithful bloggers as I have already put a plan into action dubiously titled
"percolating and reading the barks of dead trees"

Finally I am trying to talk my co workers into taking a trip to the manns chinese theatre...
