I haven't updated this in quite a long time. I'd like to update it more often. Part of me thinks "Who the hell cares about the trivial and juvenile activities of my life?" and very foolishly, part me thinks "Man, it's been a long time, I better have something funny, interesting or noteworthy to say." It's not like I have a long time loyal readership to worry about. My name is not JD Salinger.

Also, I'm conflicted over the subject matter. Do I only want to tell stories of what happened when I got wasted? Is that all I really want to write about or have (very few) people read about? Should I care about this? When it comes down to it, I like having fun and I usually have a lot of fun when I hang out with friends. And right now, I usually drink when I hang out with friends. But lately I've come to the realization that I CAN have fun without getting drinking a lot. I went to a pub crawl and had fun without drinking a lot. I mean I was the designated driver on this night as well. It looks like I'm having fun right? Right???



Of course this could all be completely bullshit. My quote and picture in Facebook is from what I did and said right before passing out drunk. So it could be meaningless by this evening. Or definitely next weekend. I'm going out for a birthday party for two friends in a big ass limo. There are a few out there who remembered what happened after Park Ave Fest last summer the last time I was in a limo. I haven't seen any of those pictures and that's probably better off. (Just remembered I paid eight dollars to chip in for a cab which was a limo in Vegas = proving my point)

This is kind of like the first awkward jumpshot after not playing basketball in a long time. It feels good to be back out there, hopefully it'll come easier sooner rather than later.

So before I end this entry:

Favorite 'new' band - Cold War Kids. They need to release a proper full-length CD soon as I need to hear more than just the MP3's on that page. Hopefully they'll swing thru here again soon.

Things I'm looking forward to regarding HBO programming:
The Wire - Season Three. Comes out on DVD soon, plowed through seasons one and two via Netflix. I'd like to finish before season four starts. To sum up The Wire very simply and probably not giving any party enough credit, Early Sopranos + Ghostface's Fishscale divided by gully streets of Baltimore = The Wire.

Entourage - Season Three. It will once again become required viewing when it starts again. Season Two will be purchased when it is released.

Things I won't miss about living in the Castillian:
-The ants.
-The kitchen sink. I think the phrase "Everything but the kitchen sink" is not really applicable in our case as everything that goes down the faulty garbage disposal ends up in the sink. The one side of the sink looks like a decent start to a compost heap.
-The violent metal on metal clanging in our bathtub when the people below take marathon showers

Things I'm not sure about:
-Diesel shoes for guys, still cool? Not Cool? Ever cool? I just bought a pair for $40 at famous footwear which leads me to lean towards the not cool side.

-Why the valet parker had to roll my drivers side window all the way down when driving it at most 20 feet?. After leaving the restaurant I see my window all the way down. I'm thinking: What the fuck in going on? Did someone try to jack a mid 90's Buick in Malibu, they just broke the glass right here in the parking lot? SOMEONE CALL THE COPS!! Wait, did the valet roll down the window to just while parking the car? Fuckin' A, that wasn't necessary. You are driving for two minutes tops. I'm sure he didn't know that it wouldn't roll back up and I didn't tell him to 'watch out for the window' but damn, how does rolling the window down figure into you parking the car? Boy, was that a windy drive home. Eventually it came back up, slowly and surely, bit by little bit.

-Will I ever read a book again?

-Will I ever find a decent way to end one of these posts?
