Ya know what I like? Elephants. I saw one this weekend that, while others thought he was in a bad mood due to his constant movement, I just thought he was feeling the groove. As a person who constantly dances to the music that only plays in my head, I can appreciate an animal that I can both relate to in size and in mental unstableness. Another thing that I learned while at the Oregon Zoo in Portland is that you can see a mountain lion for free, but if you want to see an animal anyone actually gives a shit about, that shit will cost ya!
Another rule of thumb: Make sure you've got cash before you get in the elephant ear line. I had no idea how popular that shit would be until I was in line for a half hour waiting for sugary deliciousness. You might also want to bring your own drink, because these people know they're your only source for a thirst quenching elixir and they're going to charge accordingly. Goddamn you supply and demand! Also stood in line with a guy who was failing so hard at being gay. He was so overdoing it and it seemed so forced that I think him and his buddy had lost a bet or something.
Went down to Ptown with Chandra. That didn't go so well. Don't get me wrong, I've been on far more difficult trips with people who just honestly suck, but Chan Chan was just not in the mood for an out of town adventure with Beef Thom. Caused a lot of ugliness and revelations that I'm still not fully over yet, but what am I going to do? I have no clue. Like any good Mexican, I live by the Laugh Now, Cry Later motto. Unlike my Mexican people however, I won't have said motto tattooed on my neck in olde english. I'm just not that olde fashion. Thankfully, I've been to Portland so many times that this doesn't even rank as my worst Portland trip. Just would have been better with a less distracted, less home sick Chandrabean. I did get to see my Portlanders again! I missed Kat and Justio and it was cool meeting Jessie for the first time, and I only wish I was there longer. I'm going to try to sneak away up there within the next two months and bug them some more.
Super High Me is a hilarious movie. It was everything I expected, but then so much more. Portions of it was very hilarious, and other parts made more sense to me than any pro or anti legalization arguments I've ever heard. It's part stand up coverage and part medical mary jane doc. The presentation is also amazing. After Doug's 30 days of sobriety, Day 1 of ganja is celebrated with a choir of angels. Now I've been a fan of stoner humor since before I sparked my first bowl. I was digging Friday and Half Baked for years. So clearly I would dig this flick, but I think that even people who don't smoke might dig it a bit too, if only because Doug Benson is very funny in my opinion.
I think that's all for now. I'm going home early cause I've been dragging ass and I honestly just want to take a nap. The rest of the Grammar Club and I just finished our cover of Code Monkey and I can't wait for you guys to hear it! Also, YT Cracker now has all of the tracks and album art for Rolling Doubles, so you should hopefully see it on itunes and amazon within 3-4 weeks. Printed CDs later...I think. I'm not really sure. I just want this to be done. Damon provides me more and more entertainment with every passing day, and he doesn't even know it. I'm kinda gonna miss him when he's gone. Have a great day.
Dude, work sucks. I love my job, but it's only down fall is that it gives me a lot of time to just get stuck in my head. When I'm dwelling on something, I need distractions. Sadly, I only get calls once every half hour or so, and at the end of the day I really do appreciate the calls that take 45 minutes to an hour. I need to get out of my own head. I over analyze. I guess everyone does, but I'm so sheepish to begin with that any skepticism or second guessing turns me into an uber cowered. I don't dig it. I try writing at work, but they just turn to love/hate/loss/pissed off/emo songs that I read at home and wonder why I bothered. If I could just play my DS or something while working that would be so much better. Seriously, I have nothing to do for long periods of time, why can't I level my Pokemon? Ok, enough of this. Back to work.
I'm finding myself making the same mistakes I have before. The names and settings have changed but the roles remain the same. I wonder if it's me. I wonder if it's all just chance. I wonder if it's something that I am unknowingly seeking out. The only difference this time is that I can see it coming, and sometimes I'm smart enough to do something. Other times I just tell myself it's different and put myself in unfortunate situations that are, surprisingly enough, exactly the same as before. The worse part is that I can only blame myself. I hate blaming myself. I'd rather blame anybody else. But at the end of the day I'm the one making choices I later regret. No one is making me do anything. I get excited and overzealous. Then starts the rollercoaster that I worked so hard to get off the first time.
Ah...I love blog. It allows to me to "talk" without actually having to share with anyone else face to face. It also allows me to be as cryptic as I'd like without asking for explanations. I loves it.
