So, today’s Halloween and I’m off work, it’s AMAZING. I went to vote this morning and that was as fun as waiting in line can be. Why is voting so anti-climatic? There’s such a build up to the whole ordeal and once you actually do it, it’s such a let down. [...]

Media and reaching for straws
October 30th, 2008 No Comments
My girlfriend sent me the following video, it’s apparently “controversial”: WPTV controversial interview with Joe Biden. I suggest you watch it and see how much the media not only fails to inform its watchers but it fails itself in actual journalism.
This woman is a paid journalist but she’s nothing more than a talking head. [...]

SYNT’s Intervals is here!
October 23rd, 2008 No Comments
I finally got my preorder of Intervals in the mail today and it’s so awesome. I’m not so concerned with the CD as of now since I’ve heard many of the tracks, I was looking forward to the t-shirt that came with it:
It’s so insanely vibrant in person, a complete contrast to the CD [...]

This is what Americans need to be busy doing

Blake Mycoskie, one of the participants of The Amazing Race, started a little shoe company called TOMS Shoes two years ago and it’s been churning out quality shoes since then. But Blake’s not in it for the money, he’s got money. He’s doing this for the children. Yep, children. Recently, Blake [...]

Last night’s concert was pretty rad
October 21st, 2008 No Comments
We got there really early, which we meant to. It was a fun night overall. We hung out in line with two people from my Evolution and Creationism class before the doors opened. I was disappointed however because High on Fire did not play or show up. I couldn’t find anything [...]

Intervals
October 21st, 2008 No Comments
Today, See You Next Tuesday’s newest album Intervals is released. I’m waiting on my preorder+t-shirt to arrive but what I heard on their site and on Myspace is blistering. From their first demo that I received through Parasite, SYNT has really changed musically. The demo, Summer Sampler, was blistering in pace, must [...]

IT’S OPETH TIME!!!
October 20th, 2008 No Comments
Tonight we’re going to see Opeth for like the 8th time. This is the first time we’ll be seeing them at The Revolution in Ft. Lauderdale and it’s an inside show so it’ll be interesting. Unfortunately, no pictures unlike the last few times we’ve seen them, Revolution has a “strict” no camera policy. [...]

New camping gear!
October 18th, 2008 No Comments
Last week I ordered a new REI Quarter Dome T3 tent. This isn’t replacing the one Jess got me for my birthday but it’s certainly going to be our primary tent, mainly because Jess decided to take the other one back because it was simply untenable for two people. I got the new [...]

Midterms, midterms, midterms
October 17th, 2008 No Comments
It’s the week college students dread the second most: midterms week. I only had one, really, but it was a real bitch of a test. However, I feel worse for Professor McCarthy and his TA who have to read all of our essays, must be at least 400 pages to plow through. [...]

The birthday weekend!
October 8th, 2008 No Comments
This past weekend was the weekend preceding my birthday on Monday, just two days ago. If anyone’s wondering I turned 27. My girlfriend had spent all last week plotting and scheming about what to do and frankly, what we did do to celebrate was something of a surprise. While we were hanging [...]
