Yep, I'm a real live adult
Me (talking into my iPhone): Siri, do I have a nice cock?
Siri: Oooh!

One of my favorites...
Hey, Really Nice Set
I realized last night I say that phrase a lot. I’m surprised someone hasn’t turned it into a drinking game.
But I digress…
Last night, I headed down to San Antonio for the Riff House Review show at Sam’s Burger Joint. Just some background info, Riff House Concerts is run by my good pal Tim Slusher and his lovely wife, Candyce. They host house shows and all the money goes...
I'm not the only man not allowed back in Yakima.
Throughout our history, we’ve been very selective about who we will label a genius, and who is simply a mad man. Who is a savior or a prophet, and who is a cult leader or a lunatic. The selectivity wouldn’t bother me so much if it all weren’t so fucking arbitrary or self-serving.
“The Ghost In You”—Psychedelic...
John died from the creeping death because John...
I don’t know if creeping death is even a real thing. For that matter, I don’t know if John is even a real thing or if real things are really even real things and so on. The point I’m trying to make though is about time travel, and the only two things you actually need to be successful, will and belief. No, not a wormhole or a spiffy Delorean. But what about science, you say? And...
It's 2am and I'm listening to hair bands
This never ends well. Even when I’m sober. It’s a topic I’ve visited on more than one occasion, the nostalgic anxiety, the feeling that you can never get it back, time or youth or what have you. I can still find myself present in certain moments. Is that deja vu? Is it mental time travel? Either way, I haven’t quite figured out how to slip back in time and change things,...
Technology, it needs me.
I finally broke down today and got an iPhone 4s. Correction, I went to get one, but the store by work was out, so they had to order it for me. Regardless, I’m making the leap from my “basic handset” to a “smartphone.”
I’m turning into one of those people I hate. And by “those people,” I mean you.
Are you or someone you love near the San Antonio... →
Do you like music? Good music? Beer? Me?
All of these things will be present at the Riff House Review at Sam’s Burger Joint, this Friday, Feb. 10th. Follow the link for more information.
If you don’t go the terrorists win.
I know Eli Manning has now won two Super Bowls...
but it doesn’t negate the fact that he looks and sounds like a dopey son-of-a-bitch.
Just a shout out...
One of my lovely Tumblr friends, T, sent me cookies in the mail. I shared them with co-workers, and the response was a resounding “Holy crap, these are good.” So, thank you very much. I greatly appreciate them.
Since we’re posting Counting Crows’...
Sometimes...
I need to do laundry. I usually do it on the weekends, but I had houseguests for most of it, and apparently, the laundry facility in my complex isn’t functioning, also, I slept most of yesterday, and after work tonight, I met someone for drinks, so what I’m saying is I didn’t do laundry.
I hope I have something to wear tomorrow.
I haven’t had dinner either and I’m...
Exploring Austin: Franklin BBQ
Back during SXSW, my pal Adam and I tried to get into Franklin BBQ. It didn’t happen. In the months since then, I’ve gone down there maybe 5 times with friends, only to not get in. This weekend, my friends Mike and Melissa are crashing at my place because our friends Eric and Kelly, (who I stayed with when I got here) had their baby. Anyway, this morning, we got up and decided we were...
I got Fridays off
Which means:
Yes, I’ll be at Counting Crows during SXSW.
Yes, I’ll be at Justin Townes Earle.
And no, not only did Eddie Vedder sell out while I was at work, but that added a second night which also appears to be sold out.
Oh well, two out of three ain’t bad.
Don't worry, y'all. Mitt Romney just misspoke...
The front-runner in the GOP nomination race said Wednesday in a CNN interview that he was “not very concerned about the very poor” because they have an “ample safety net.”
I’d have more respect for him if he was just like, “Fuck poor people. They ain’t got my back either.” But this pussy-footin’ around just makes me want to ejaculate in his...
“I Guess I Planted”—Billy Bragg...
I filed my taxes on Saturday
And every day, I’ve gone to the Where’s My Refund page and every time, it’s given me an error and couldn’t retrieve my info. It was pissing me off.
I just logged into my bank account and it had been deposited. I’ll forgive you this time, IRS.
Cross your fingers, just for luck
I’ll find out this Friday what my scheduled day off will be once training ends. My top choice was Friday. I need some good mojo to get this because future Friday concerts in Austin include Counting Crows, Eddie Vedder and Justin Townes Earle.

Who wants to make these for me?
Just to recap...
The enemy of my friend is my enemy.
The enemy of my enemy is my friend.
The friend of my enemy is also my enemy.
The enemy of my friend who gives my friend’s enemy’s friend an enema is neither my friend, nor my enemy.
Afternoon Notes
Still haven’t found good Chinese food here. The search continues.
Went to Walmart, and while looking for a filter for my Brita, I ended up with a food steamer and a candle warmer. No filter.
My old bank debit card was denied, even though there’s well over $300.00 in my account.
I really need to close that account out and move the funds to my Texas bank.
I’m not sure why...
With my new U-Verse Total Home DVR
I can record this episode of Top Chef with Charlize Theron on it and then fast forward through the parts that she’s not in.
This is a list...
Things I want to do today:
Sit in bed and watch TV
Go to a movie
Buy a couch
Go to Chickenshit Bingo at Jenny’s Little Longhorn
Not get out of bed at all
Things I have to do today:
Laundry
I’m willing to make a deal. If one of you will do my laundry, I will take you to a movie or take you to chickenshit bingo or you can sit in bed with me and watch TV. (Sorry, I’m not...

My old man
Every day, like clockwork, my father would take a shit, once in the wee hours of the morning before he went to work, and then again when he got home for dinner. He would disappear into the bathroom and stay there for an extended period of time.
The reason I mention this is because I had an odd thought. I have these often, usually about things that were normal to me, but probably not normal to...
Carly, like Carly Simon
Hello Friends, and welcome from my very own Internet connection. That’s right, I finally got my cable and Internet hooked up at home. Now it really feels like home, not just a place where I eat over the sink and masturbate.
Yesterday was my first pay day. Before I start bitching, let me just say how nice it is to get a two-week paycheck that is almost as much as you were previously making...
“The girl is a boomerang. I throw her away. She always comes back again.”
– I was looking for something in my email and found this line I’d sent to myself like a year ago. I wonder who I was talking about.
01/21/12 Alabama Shakes @ the Continental Club,...
I knew about this show for a couple of weeks and had intended on going, but then the tickets sold out and so I chalked it up to another, “oh well, maybe next time.” But one of the guys at work asked me if I knew who the band was and we decided to see if there were tickets we could get, and just my luck, they had held back 50 tickets to sell at the door. (It actually ended up being just...
All good things must end...
Well, the Internet signal I was borrowing disappeared and it’s not coming back, it seems, so I’m sitting at a Starbucks sipping a hot chocolate and eating a blueberry muffin and deciding if I want to see a movie today or tomorrow and thinking about how much I need to do laundry, but I don’t want to do it because it means sitting at the laundry room in my complex and I have other...

For the 2nd night in a row...
I am borrowing Internet. Except tonight I stopped for groceries, and by groceries, I mean beer.
I should be at the Mountain Goats, but I’m a slackass, and rather than buying a ticket last month, when I knew they were going to be playing, I waited, and you can fill in the blanks to finish the story.
But I do have beer.
And some taquitos, should I chose to have diarrhea later.
This is why you don't ever want to sleep with me. →
*I didn’t read this, but I assure you, no matter what it says, I still want to sleep with you. And that statement goes for pretty much anyone reading this. I have some pent up energy that needs to get out.
