[full bleed]

I miss my long one:

anytime that's not winter, people with no expectations of other people, rock n roll, photojournalism, not studio photography, being messy, tv, tv, tv, a good fitted hat, being more bruce springsteen than glenn danzig, some nice jeans, any sort of good denim, when all your clothes are clean, getting silly with your appearance, moustaches, anything paisley, a really good synth sound, talk box youTube culture, really clean design, when something blows my mind, Jake the Snake the dog, horrible early '90s web design, "he might be a stupid frat boy, but he is NOT a homophobe", handclaps in songs, gang vocals, going for it singing, anything custom, almost nothing limited edition, open source alternatives, science and technology, never thinking I know enough, when I get impressed by my friends, high kicks, object-oriented programming, being interested in stuff, man art, movies that look good, movies that are good, good writing, the music I liked as a kid that's still good, Snuff, Dillinger Four, Motorhead, MxPx, Descendants, ALL, liking a lot of bands from Minneapolis, finally connecting to songs, a really good surprise, when people do the opposite of disappoint, crosswords, drawing pictures, the times when I don't know what to say, super friends, people that understand that you were just drunk and didn't mean it, when you see your friend kissing the person they've been talking about all night, a really solid night at the bar, Chops, unexpected make-out seshs, water beer, stiff drinks, giving eyes, getting eyes, hungover laugh riots, when someone can understand what the hell I'm saying, my big brother Jim, keeping it together, not keeping it together, indulgences, when everyone's in a good mood, no wet blankets, Jay Goodrow!, hating college for the most part, knowing you can be an adult but stay young, people who aren't over everything, people who like stuff without a drop of irony, those really good pens, when stuff works out, not trying, smooth operations, making pins, making the best any situation, wishing I looked like Bruce Springsteen circa 1974, small feet, having small feet, girls that dress well, girls that appreciate my interest in clothes and hair, robots, waltzes, gettin better, girls with great style, mythical beasts, all sorts of magical stuff, cool dragons, crystals, that art made with math that I forget the name of, when an entire album is good, really epic rock n roll, sewing, making lady clothes, expecting the worst, usually getting it, camel lights, getting more than I deserve from my friends in both the positive and negative way, black eyes, jokes that no more than four people get, friends having a ripping story, car rides, sing a longs, not giving a shit what you think about us, not judging you, guns, losing irony, gaining contradictions, appreciating small stuff, not sweating the big stuff, server side php script, java injection, half-time parts in songs, good directory structure, preferring PCs, liking the stuff that might not be the prettiest or the best but got's the most heart, perfect high-fives, getting people's backs, breaking glass, data visualization, getting emotionally attached to inanimate objects, being moody, arts and crafts, being a wolf in sheep's clothing, wayfarers, comic books, when someone I know likes a bad that is related to my school, vector graphics to an insane degree lately, being a shitty student, getting away with being a shitty student because my professors like me, American gladiators, getting it right the first time, sweet talking your way out of a situation, bailing out, realizing you're just plain not into something, sponsoring people, when everyone's got a day off, stoop weather, hollerin at bitches, middle school days, knowing that the first two 40s that me and Chops ever drank are still under the Hasbrouck Park Playground, having the head of a 22-year-old, having the heart of a 14-year-old, shred drum beats, always having another beer, parts in songs when it's just vocals and muted guitar, young love, being wild and innocent, Thunder Road, unnecessary curse words in songs, being ashy in a classy situation, being proud of moms and pops, not shaving, the dental floss that's on the stick thing, a really solid "Yeah!" "Go!" or "C'mon!" in a song, Tommy Boy, Tommy Boy for the subtle jokes, free food, free lighters, ketchup popsicles, the lady giving us a toast on the moon on the High Life bottle, being left-handed, having a substantial amount of change, really gross mall chinese food, havin nuthin but a house party, the cheap version of whatever you're buying, parts in songs with "na nas" and such, good erasers, fast processors, walking down some roads with the head held high, getting happy
