Hiatus

i havent really posted on here in awhile. since my last post i've been busy doing a couple of things.

1. relaxing.
2. working.

PHEW.

in other news:

i'm looking for a woman who likes the television show Mad Men and enjoys candy.

Good Day/Bad Day

First with the good:

1. Manny Ramirez is now a Dodger.
2. The Avalanches' 2nd album is coming really soon.

and now The Bad....


1. I had the worst burger for lunch. It was the loaded steakhouse burger from a popular fast food restaurant. I don't want to say but its the one with the dude with the crown on it.

UGH.

After one bite.

It was like eating a wet sponge.

The patty tasted like a limp sausage patty. It didn't even taste like beef at all which is probably the scariest thing of all.

Avoid this burger at all costs.

UGH.

Its ok.

I am strong.

RAGE AGAINST THE ANTS

Well. Its summer. and Summer can only mean one thing. ANTS. They are everywhere around the house. Now I can't be my filthy self and occassionally drop bread crumbs on the ground knowing that when i wake up theres going to be a gabillion ants eating a little piece of bread.

I guess it could be worse. I could wake up and see those ants that were in Indiana Jones and The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.

That would be SCARRRRYYYYYY.

I definitely would be content in cleaning my kitchen table if in the likelihood those scary ants won't have to appear.

In other news:

I keep seeing the lead singer of Rage Against the Machine (Zach De La Rocha) in my neighborhood. Usually see him at nearby "hip" restaurants. He doesn't have dreads anymore. Nowadays he's sporting a mini fro. Hopefully if I see him at The Oinkster I'll tell him that "Killing in the name of," is still a great jam.



OH YEAH.

ITS GO TIME.

4th of July wrap up.

In the last few days.

-Watched Season 3 of The Wire. The Wire is probably the best show I've ever seen on television. Though not as good as Season 1 it was light years better than Season 2.

-Drank half of a jaeger.

-Drank a ton of Coke.

-Played a shitload of Ninja Gaiden II (my thumbs hurt)

-Realized I want a SUPER PLATE. JEEZY.

-Had the best cheeseburger (Kobe Burger) in a long time at TOPS in Pasadena

-Read a lot of interesting blogs. Hmn. It was interesting. Fun though.

-Did a ton of THINKING.

-Decided I need to get back in the dating world.

Nevertheless I wouldn't be doing a majority of these things IF I was doing this instead:



Still.

I'd like a date.

Wishes Part I

1. Somehow get on live television. Say something really stupid. Follow that up with a "HOLLA" that lasts a good 10 seconds.

2. Have lunch with Rick Ross

3. Have a popular blog which in return leads to two book deals/TV shows/cover story for a major metropolitan (cough NEW YORK cough) magazine.

4. Attend the BET awards/after party.

5. 2 Season seats to Dodger Stadium (forevs)

6. Interview Chris Martin and Bono in the same room.

7. Perfect the chicken quesdilla.

8. Win a Pulitzer. Say "Holla" during the ceremony.

9. Throw a 90 mph fastball or have the ability to sink a medium ranged jump shot. Proceed to garner a undeserved big money contract. Soon after retirement successful run a chain of fast food restaurants which prolongs by delusions of grandeur as a former athlete.

10. Own a Coca Cola factory.

Dear Self

Why are you watching a lot of reality shows?

I really want to be on the Are you smarter than a 5th grader game show.

Heroes Part I

Oh Double Lordy

I think I like the new Coldplay album

UGHHHHH.

In other news, I learned something new today

Gift Receipts.

Supposedly they're receipts that you include in gifts so the person that receives the gift will know how much you care.

I think thats what it is.

Geez. I might be wrong.

Whatevers.

So like.

"Dude, thanks for the $10 dollar Coldplay record."

Oh Lordy

1 Lil Wayne ticket @ the Hollywood House of Blues = $67.50

Damn Weezy.

Damn.

A Letter

Dear Los Angeles Lakers,

You guys are awesome. No doubt. My love for the team is so strong that I even parade around public wearing a bright gold hat with your insignia on it. I was just wondering though...can you please stop having games that put me on the brink of a nervous breakdown.

Your #1 fan,
John

Just a thought

Why do horror films nowadays have the word "THE" as the first word in the title.

A few examples: The Ring, The Eye, The Grudge, The Shining.

What makes "THE" so scary. So ominous really?

It got me thinking.

Coming Summer 2009.

THE PIZZA.

Wow.

Scary huh?

No Age @ the Los Angeles Central Library

Check out this interview that I did with Los Angeles' No Age. It was conducted at the Los Angeles Central Library in Downtown LA for the music website Ground Control Magazine


And in case you didn't know by now: No Age are really cool dudes. Their new album Nouns is eggecellent.

P.S.

Happy Memorial Day

Go eat a ton of BBQ.

And if you're bored watch The Andromeda Strain on A&E

I probably won't.

But you should.

It looks kinda cool.

Nuclear attacks I think.

Real World: Hollywood

It pains me to say this:

I adore Real World: Hollywood

I"M FULLY ENTHRALLED.

Indiana Jones IV + New Ratatat = Thoughts

i saw Indiana Jones and The Kingdom of the Crystal Skullz last night. The one thing that I learned most about the film was this: if there so happens to be a nuclear attack, don't worry. As long as there's a refrigerator (lead casing...I think it was) and a gopher nearby... you're going to be okay.

I also heard a lot of the new Ratatat album today. Ratatat being the duo that makes those cool video game sounds that often sound like hip hop beats. Also according to Wikipedia...they're from Brooklyn. [Writer's disclosure: One of my favorite words to text on my phone is Ratatat] Anyways the new album called LP3 is really interesting and when I say interesting, I mean pretty disappointing. They've abandoned what made them so great (mainly the guitars) and replaced it all those weird instruments that Mozart and Bach used to play (you know like a piano). I can only describe this new shift in sound as forgetting to put your favorite Nintendo cartridge in. Instead you put in your mother's favorite new age CD. LP3 sadly belongs in the bommer music file for 2008 (right up there with Gnarls Barkeley, Spiritualized, Weezer and the My Morning Jacket record).

Atleast their new video is pretty* awesome



OOHH an explosion.

* is saying "pretty" after an adjective a bad thing?
