Is it weird that I am googling "How to blow off steam" .

Magazine Urinal  

Posted by Matthew in ,


I was in the bathroom yesterday doing my business when a guy started using the urinal next to me. I noticed both his hands were free which was odd. He then pulled a magazine up from his pocket and propped it on top of the flushing mechanism to read it. A couple things came to my head when this happened ; a) I bet he is peeing a little on his pants b) why is that magazine so fascinating? C) The dudes an idiot and could have waited 30 seconds to read his magazine article instead of making things awkward by reading next to me at the urinal.



NEW BEACH HOUSE BITCHES.

I am listening to the new Vampire Weekend. It's enjoyable as the first album was. I don't get when people love to talk shit about VW. It's not like they every claimed to be the best band in the world nor did they ever try to be some trendy hipster band. They sing fun afro-pop Paul Simon-esque music. It's great to play when you have stuff to do around the house. I have swiffered and mopped to the first album many times.


Sitting here now and listening I realize that there are still several hours left in the day. I have been a tired sack lately. I thought I had a tumor in my neck, but my roommate says its swollen lymph nodes so that's good news. I just need to take care of myself.

I still haven't figured out what my goals for this year are yet. But for the immediate future I would like to A) go back to training since my lovely girlfriend got me a gift certificate to a gym nearby B) Get a food handling license C) Play music more regularly again, starting with putting new guitar strings on ....


UPDATE: Got into the music studio with Chris, his buddy and Justin to lay down some sweet tunes. I'm already making progress on letter "C)". Prepare to get your skinny jeans on. SHIT IS GOING EPIC.

Putting up a tune by a band that played with my friends band. Just get your Tom Petty/Ryan Adams alt-country hat on . It's nice stuff but doesn't have too much staying power for me.





So this is the New Year

Happy New Years everyone! It’s been almost a month since I have posted and I am wondering why it has been so long. I had a good week and half off and I didn’t even think to write anything. I don’t know if the inspiration had run dry or if I just gotten lazy but either way it just never happened. Hopefully I will be inspired to write more this year. It’s hard to believe that I have had this blog for so long now..well relatively long I guess. 2009 was an interesting year. Most people I heard from couldn’t wait to get out of 2009 and start fresh in 2010. Economically, it was a turd filled jar of terrible but I got through without getting let go ( mostly because I don’t think I make a very big dent in the bottom line) and I met my girlfriend. So it wasn’t all bad!


The beginning of the year is always a time for reflection on what we foresee for ourselves in the coming months. Speaking of reflection the chorus of this song really hits home in regards to that sentiment...


What did you want to see? What did you want to be when you grew up? To go away and not look back and think of what the others say To go ahead and change your life without regard to what is said And everyone must do the same you find yourself lost again forget the things you've left behind through looking back you may go blind
