Happy weekend!

13 days left

I'm a really good friend...

The Buff Teddy Troop is out there. Online AND in stores- and I still don't have it yet. I didn't get anything for Xmas and my birthday's next month.

In case you care, here are some places that carry him. All you have to do is click on a link below. I even made it easy for you - because sometimes being a really good friend means going out of your way to do something nice for someone else.

Ever worry about wearing the same thing as someone else? Quit frontin'- even if you think you've got your own style, it's totally happened to you. Maybe it hasn't happened where you were at the same place at the same time, but you've definitely seen someone else wearing your shit. Dressregistry.com. Check it- you can register whatever "thing" you're going to, and what you're planning to wear. That way, some stupid hoebag won't show up wearing the same thing!

(Supposedly Stylelist.com broke the story about the site's launch. If that's true, then, shit, I'm impressed. It kind of redeems them for being "difficult" to work with...a little.)

Appreciate

Great article in the NYT today about the "death" of Polaroid film. Hopefully you'll think twice now when I shove my Polaroid in your face and hand you the shot. Essentially, I'm handing you a piece of history...that's gotta be worth something, right? Read the article HERE.

Hmm.

Word on the street is that Disney is planning to remake Tron. WHY??

When you fuck me up, I turn here...

there's a bluebird in my heart that
wants to get out
but I'm too tough for him,
I say, stay in there, I'm not going
to let anybody see
you.

there's a bluebird in my heart that
wants to get out
but I pur whiskey on him and inhale
cigarette smoke
and the whores and the bartenders
and the grocery clerks
never know that
he's
in there.

there's a bluebird in my heart that
wants to get out
but I'm too tough for him,
I say,
stay down, do you want to mess
me up?
you want to screw up the
works?
you want to blow my book sales in
Europe?

there's a bluebird in my heart that
wants to get out
but I'm too clever, I only let him out
at night sometimes
when everybody's asleep.
I say, I know that you're there,
so don't be
sad.
then I put him back,
but he's singing a little
in there, I haven't quite let him
die
and we sleep together like
that
with our
secret pact
and it's nice enough to
make a man
weep, but I don't
weep, do
you?
- Bluebird by Charles Bukowski

Impressive.

It took François Macré 350 hours to "re-enact" Thriller on his PC- supposedly without an instrument, synthesizer, beatbox or sampler. Gotta love die hard MJ fans.

This is how we roll

2009 is the year of Ubuntu

Archbishop Desmond Tutu explains ubuntu like this:

"Ubuntu- the essence of being human. Ubuntu speaks particularly about the fact that you can't exist as a human being in isolation. It speaks about our interconnectedness. You can't be human or by yourself. And when you have this quality, ubuntu, you are known for your generosity. And when you are welcoming ubuntu..." - Sundance Channel's "Iconoclasts"

"A person with Ubuntu is open and available to others, affirming of others, does not feel threatened that others are able and good, for he or she has a proper self-assurance that comes from knowing that he or she belongs in a greater whole and is diminished when others are humiliated or diminished, when others are tortured or oppressed." - Wikipedia

Learn it. Embrace it. Ubuntu.

Bring it, 2009.

My New Year's Resolutions:
1- Learn to be more selfish. Gotta look out for what's in my best interest. Need to stand up to people who treat me like shit and quit being so masochistic. No one deserves to be walked all over.
2- Travel more to see the people I love. Sucks going more than a year without seeing your best friends.
3- Quit the cancer sticks. "No one likes kissing an ashtray."

Thank god the baking resolution is over. That one sucked donkey balls.

For JG...

As my potentially last post for 2008, this one goes out to my favorite person of the year.

This is how my NYE 2007 ended: wasted off straight vodka shots, I ended up at a Burger King in Montreal, eating french fries next to a homeless dude...This is how my NYE 2008 ended: high on champagne and Sudafed, hiding from my brother on the streets of NYC...This is how I'd like my NYE 2009 to end: retarded in Boston with you, making these...and these...
and ending up here...

I hate when videos on youtube can't be embedded. But this might be one of the best clips from The Cosby Show that I've ever seen. Watch it. Then complain on the user's board for them not giving us the embedding code. Jerks.

Funny? Not so funny? Can't decide.

Classic quotes from the night

Mike: Ya, you have nice eyes, but it doesn't mean shit if your jeans don't match.
Me: Umm. I'm pretty sure both my jeans and eyes are blue.
Mike: Oh. True.

Mike: So what if I've got a naked chick in bed at my house right now. Matt's way more attractive.
Solo: Ya, but we're both straight, dude.
Mike: Good point.

Case: You don't need yourself a toy soldier.
L: You're right! If I wanted a toy soldier, I'd masterbate with GI Joe!
Case: Omg, that's goin' on Facebook.

Lyrics of the week

This might be home...

Andain's Beautiful Things
Can I change my mind
did I think things through
It was once my life -
it was my life at one time

Got up early, found something's missing
my only name.
No one else sees but I got stuck,
and soon forever came.
Stopped pushing on for just a second,
then nothing's changed.
Who am I this time, where's my name
I guess it crept away.

No one's calling for me at the door.
And unpredictable won't bother anymore.
And silently gets harder to ignore.
Look straight ahead, there's nothing left to see.
What's done is done, this life has got it's hold on me.
Just let it go, what now can never be.

I forgot that I might see,
So many beautful things.
I forgot that I might need,
to find out what life could bring.

Take this happy ending away, it's all the same.
God won't waste this simplicity on possibility.
Get me up, wake me up, dreams are filling
this trace of blame.
Frozen still I thought I could stop,
now who's gonna wait.

No one's calling for me at the door.
and unpredictable won't bother anymore.
and silently gets harder to ignore.
look straight ahead, there's nothing left to see.
what's done is done, this life has got it's hold on me.
just let it go, what now can never be.

Now what do I do
can I change my mind
did I think things through

It was once my life - it was my life at one time.

Hey, guess what? When I'm in NY next week, I've decided to look for an apartment there.

[Mirabelle]
To move there?

[Ray]
No no, just a place to stay while I'm there. No more luggage. Woohoo!

[Mirabelle]
Like a crash pad! You lucky mister.

[Ray]
Actually, I'm gonna look for a 3-bedroom in case I meet someone and have kids.

[Mirabelle]
(sits down defeated)

[Ray]
I'm sorry. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to...

[Mirabelle]
Ray, why don't you love me? ...are you just biding your time with me?

[Ray]
I thought you understood.

[Mirabelle]
So, I can either hurt now or hurt later. Now...I guess.

Lessen for the week
Don't wait for later. Now is everything.

Old medicine

Caption: Testing the 2,7000-year-old pot for THC concentration.

Check it:
"The world's oldest stash of marijuana has been found in far western China, according to an article in the Journal of Experimental Botany.

An ancient Caucasian people, probably the Indo-European-speaking Yuezhi whose fair-haired mummies keep turning up in Xinjiang province, seem to have buried one of their shamans with a whopping 789 grams of high-potency pot 2,700 years ago.

That's about 28 ounces of killer green bud, worth perhaps $8,000 at today's street prices, and enough to keep Harold and Kumar happy for a couple of days.

"It was common practice in burials to provide materials needed for the afterlife," lead author Ethan B. Russo, a practicing neurologist and prominent medicinal-marijuana advocate based in Missoula, Mont., tells the Canadian Press. "No hemp or seeds were provided for fabric or food. Rather, cannabis as medicine or for visionary purposes was supplied."

But the researchers couldn't tell if the weed was meant to be smoked or eaten. No pipes, bongs or rolling papers were found in the tomb.

The ancient Greek historian Herodotus relates how the Scythians, Iranian-speaking nomads who roamed the steppes to the west of the Yuezhi in the first millennium B.C., liked to throw marijuana onto bonfires to induce trancelike states. It's possible the buried shaman followed similar practices."

Man, I would love to try this shit. I bet it's the purest stuff of all time. And how come they're testing it for THC concentration? Who gets to sample this goodness? Man, this strand is gonna be hot on the market. If you can score some, CALL ME.
