And if it ever gets bad, I mean stay-in-bed bad
I'll move to Nova Scotia and forget the life I had
Be up at nine each morning down by the shore
Collecting things that fell off boats in storms
OK, so I might never, but it's nice to know the options there
—
The hell with you. Take me or leave me.

I am because we are

Troubled times ... right?

I've been living on my own for about almost 5 months now. And by "own my own," I mean living by myself in my apartment. No roommate. Just me. Me. Me. Me. It's all about me. Whatever.I found that I'm ...

Morning calls

Dear squirrels living around my house.Please stop stealing eggs from bird's nests, bringing them up to my door, cracking them open and then leaving them there. It's gross and it's not how I want to st...

It's always some excuse, too tired, too obtuse

This kid needs a haircut. I got that "I-think-if-I-wait-any-longer-I'm-gonna-grow-a-mullet-and-no t-realize-it" feeling. Also, I'm thinking of washing the black out and going back to brown. Or I might ...

When I grow up ...

I'm getting old. The lady at Logli didn't ask me for my ID when I bought a case of beer today. Maybe it's because I was unshaven. Maybe it's because it was 1:30 in the afternoon. Either way, it felt w...

Swing Life Away

I've always found B-sides interesting. Tracks that artists and bands release a couple months after an album is released and you hear them for the first time. B-sides are the tracks that either the art...

She Doesn't Get It

About a month ago, I saw the Format in concert. I've been a fan for about a year now and I ranked "Dog Problems," the indie pop/rock's second release, as my No. 4 album of 2006. Nate Ruess, the lead v...

Ways and Means

I find myself addicted to the mini-games on MySpace whenever I log in. Something about being a model and trying to push a sumo out of a ring just by clicking a button, or being a deer and trying to cr...

What did you learn tonight?

I'm about five minutes away from downloading AIM to my computer at work. I've already downloaded the GMail notifier and it came through with no problems, so I don't think they block downloads on the s...

Dance, bitch!

My last day of "freedom" before I start work today could not have been any better. It started with Nyssa and I interviewing Jesse Johnson, the moog player for Motion City Soundtrack, on the MCS tour b...
