About Me

I work in a photo lab, and it sucks. I have worked there for about fifteen hundred years now, and I'm not sure I've ever received a raise. Also, customers are assholes, especially around the holidays. I really really dislike my job.
I drive a phoenix yellow Integra Type R, and I love it, despite it's frail composition. I swear, something new breaks on it every single day. Oh well, it's still running. Kinda.
I like to go hiking, or just walking through some trees is pretty awesome too. I try to get out to see some mountains whenever I can, but it's usually not very often. Shit, I try to get anywhere whenever I can. Oh yeah, gravity and some children cooperatively ruined the shit out of my left ankle, so hiking is not as easy as it used to be.
I like to eat pizza and ice cream. Other foods are good too, but they're just not the same. I quit drinking soda, and I'm on my way to quitting coffee.
Taking pictures is fun for me, but I kinda suck at it. Oh well, as long as it's fun, right?

My Blog

Look what I found in the closet

Okay, so I was looking for my long lost pocket knife, and I stumbled upon a blog I wrote at work, but never published. I write most of my blogs at work. Yeah, I jot them down on notebook paper, and co...

Snakes in the mother fucking theatre.

Friday I had to work all day. It sucked, just like it always does, but I had something to do after work. Something I've been wanting to do for years, possibly even lifetimes. I was going to go watch S...

Lolla Day 2

Day two of lollapalooza was pretty amazing. I was dead tired from the first day, so I decided to skip the first band. I've never really heard any of Nada Surf's stuff anyway, so I wsan't too worried a...

Lollapalooza Day 1

Friday morning, Lollapalooza day one. I had viewed the schedule, and devised a path which would allow me to see all of the best bands playing that day. It's not hard to do when you're a genius. Anyway...

Pre-lolla

Adele and I went up to chicago to get my wrist band before the show, so I didn't have to stand in line for three hundred hours and miss all the coolness of Deadboy and the Elephantmen. Unfortunately, ...

Back to work

Holy balls. The time I spent away from walmart almost made me forget what screaming children sounded like. I tell you this. I would rather listen to nails on a chalkboard whilst the nailer is cleaved ...

A rant with no pictures

Walmart is a bunch of bitches. Just when I thought it was safe to assume I had job security, they prove me wrong. Rocking my ankle like a lazy boy probably was a bad choice. I didn't really even choos...

The date is July 1st. The first real day of summer, and it's super hot outside. When I say super hot, I mean it's gotta be like half a million degrees. Kelvin. Shark Attack, BKT and I tried to play so...

Expo 6, where are the chicks?

Alright, I already started writing this blog once. I hadn't even made it to the part where we left Illinois, and I was already on like the fifth page. So, I'm rewriting it, leaving out a lot of the po...

holy shit, fun fest

This morning, I was outside shooting empty oil containers with my slingshot. After I killed about 20 oil containers, the band broke, and my rock slinging days had come to an end just as quickly as the...
