From June of 6 years ago...

I have started to work out cleaning my room and in procrastination I started to look through the highschool yearbook. I can't say I've changed that much. I would like to share a couple things however.

Tyler
NN: Doug
BKF: Jerk (being one?)
AMB: Hibernian to a Champions League cup
PD: World's Dirtiest old man
FE: What? You can't back that
BM: Haunted Tacos and Christmas Trees
PP: Arsenal fans jerks
LW: I got a little game here called connect 4, the Dougler

C Nev
NN: Neveu, Velcro, Jarvis, Christophero Sly
AMB: Forensic Science
FE: Its all semantics
BM: Michigan road trips, Haunted taco bell & Christmas Tree
LW: Don't take life too seriously, you'll never get out alive.

Jimi James
NN: Squirmy, Segway, Yegway, Joe Speed, Squiggy's Brother
BKF: Vast Vocabulary
AMB: World Domination
PD: the mague (? morgue maybe?)
FE: For unbenched reasons, I'd like to hit up some of that.
BM: Little's antics with JP and JL
PP: Shoulder slings and ditches, idle death threats and stub arms
LW: As I leave these hallowed halls for the last time and my friends spread to the winds, know this... you are the forge that has moulded me and I am forever indebted to you, I will look back on these days with softness in my heart and a fondness in my head. I bid you adieu.

Andymac
NN: Andymac
BKF: Sandals in cold weather
AMB: Superhero / Couchmonster
PD: Sidekick / Couchmonster
FE: Most excellent, bogus
BM: Mr Santana's History class
PP: People who chew ice
LW: I know what the meaning of life is!

I still know what the meaning of life, though I still cant find anyone to listen! We all ended up with university degreesand still we are the same four guys. Pretty good if you ask me! And finally on the back page of my yearbook is something that is still relavent as we drift into the mundane minutae of 20something life.

I would just like to say
todays been one of those days
this weeks been one of those weeks
this year has been one of those years
so why stop rocking?

One Week

This is my stolen picture tribute to our 4 celebrity deaths this week, may they rest where they rest... you get my drift

Blockbusted

Chances are when I get out of school, for the umteenth time, I won't be reviewing films or flims for the New Yorker, New York Times, LA Times or any other of the countless higher brow periodicals, But if only I were. As in music, there is not just one style of film, and these styles must be addressed by someone fluent in their presentation. I dont need the narrow minded view of a God fearing goofball from some christian science review telling me not to see I Love You Man because it is "offensive on all levels". In that same sense I don't need some quasi feminist from the New York Times telling me my summer blockbuster prefers "action over introspection"

Well I could have told you that! Its a summer blockbuster after all! Holy Hell. Its not No Country for Old Men , or Gran Tourino! Its Transformers 2! The way I figure it, the summer is really just starting, so as celebration you go and light some fireworks, but why spend $50 on 20 minutes of fireworks when you could spend $10 on 2.5 hours of em!? Just as chick flicks and buddy movies are not put through the same high brow filter that an "oscar hopeful" must meet, so too summer blockbusters dont deserve criticism from people who have obviously made up their minds before even stepping into the movie. Not every movie needs an Oscar to do what it set out to accomplish.

Jaws - Rubber shark plagues Amity Island for 2 hours (kicks ass)

Terminator 2 - GOOD terminator travels through time to protect JC from another BAD terminator, who's arms become hooks (kicks ass)

Jurassic Park - genetically engineered dinosaurs go nuts when the power goes out and eat people (super kick ass)

Transformers 2 is definately far from these films, hell I wasn't impressed with it for the most part, but I got what I paid for, giant ass robots kicking the bolts out of each other, Megan Fox and another explosion loaded FLIM. Cheers for the fireworks to kick off the summer!

2.5 stars

touch this!!!

15 staples, and 3 cell phone photos... man I'm dumb, but I told Goo and the the cute nurse he works with that it was all Flatmates fault for possessing said chair as part of an evil plot to ruin my gorgeous looks forever

And the laundry list of fiascos gets longer

I have no post other than this... It had to be touched upon and then forgotten... but why at 12:30 at night? oh tyler tyler tyler. Youtube and boredom don't mix well with office chairs.

my current project

an Excerpt

" Don't ever settle...you deserve nothing but the exact same thing that you are...wonderfulness.

I'm sorry that I resorted to e-mail, but I guess I was just scared....and
thought it would be easier to just get all my thoughts out this way. "

another:

" i was wondering "i wonder how charlie brown is these days?"

one more for luck:

"Call me when you get up. Love mom""

I have 3207 emails (compared to 6 hand written letters I have kept over the years), in my account, and since I dont keep spam, forwards or anything directed to more that 1 recipiant for more that 4 seconds, that means I have 3207 messages that I have seen fit to keep... thats 3207 sentiments ranging from everything from 331 notes from former love interests, 4 notes that are actual life eviction (break up) notices to 1178 school related notes, 109 from my self, 477 from my mentor. I have 0 from cnev, andymac, the flatmate, 1 from yegway and 1 from the gypo.

See now the reason I am going through all this is that Im pretty sure that If I delete these sentiments than they never really existed, tearing up and letter doesnt mean it doesnt/didnt exist... but if all it ever was, were bit of disc impregnated with some sort of electronic witchcraftery, than it doesnt really exist unless its on the screen now does it... and if it can never be recalled than it just doesnt exist.

on the other hand why the heck haven't I deleted all these notes from old flames?

probably because I am a jack ass or maybe my personal correspondence will be great reading one day for my heirs... who knows

Relax Its Just the Endoftheworld

Facebook's Graffiti flash program has to be one of the coolest applications to come out of the online profile sites. I love being able to put down in a couple of minutes what would take me hours of preparation if I were to actually paint it, and it still looks professional.

Well this is where my head is this evening, I spent the whole day cleaning and preparing for school in September... Two and a half months thats coming up in an awful hurry.
