best gift ever
i just remembered the funniest gift i have ever received in my entire life. it came by mail as a get well soon present following my breast reduction five years ago. the sender was someone i'd dated ever so briefly a few months prior.
and the gift? a melon baller.

who's bad?
apparently not michael jackson. but with bush in office and the country's integrity on a rapid pace of decline, we shouldn't be surprised that rich white men always prevail.

you know you want to hang out with me
hello future friend,
there are a lot of really amazing shows coming to the los angeles area in upcoming days. i'd really like to attend any number of these shows, but i usually enjoy seeing shows with someone who's super awesome way more than i enjoy them alone despite the fact that i, too, am super awesome. this is mostly true because i like it when other people pay for my drinks. but to be fair, i'll buy you a drink as well! do you like pabst?
anyway, please scope out the following list of shows (complete with dates and venues, which will be updated as more shows are announced) and let me know if you're interested in accompanying me. oh, and if you're a hot/single guy, let me know if you're also potentially interested in putting out after the show. all shows and post-show sex are on a first-come, first-served basis. no refunds, exchanges or touch-backs. also, no sloppy seconds.

what once was old is new again
years ago, i was addicted to dfilm. i was a moving-making fanatic, crafting tens of hundreds of tiny animated bits of brilliance. and i was reminded of this addiction recently as i was checking out the bookmarks on my very old imac and came across the dfilm page. it was at that moment that i ate some breakfast, drank some extremely strong costa rican coffee and set out to create something beautiful. and now i would like to share that beauty with you. because i love you. and i want to share my life with you. ok, not really my life, exactly. mostly just this film. enjoy.

another rip-off post
here's the deal: i'm working like a fucking retard lately. i'm freelancing, i'm working, i'm going to more meetings than is considered natural, i'm working out, i'm trying to be sober more often and, when time permits, i'm flirting with this new boy who's a fantastic kisser and from whom i imagine i am going to learn a lot. if only there was time for tutorials.
that said, i'm going to post by example once again. will posted a mid-year report card on his fancy little blog, and therefore i'm going to do the same. because why the fuck not, right? at least you'll have something to read and i won't feel like such a loser for not posting anything for another whole week. and so, without further adieu, here's the copied and pasted and ripped off template post in all its glory:
the nearly mid-year report card
yeah, so it's june. you know what that means? that means it's 2.5 months until i turn 30. you know what that means? that means i'm old. you know what else that means? i'm going to start dating 18 year olds and really live up to my last name. coo coo ca choo, yo. anyway, before i pick up a bottle of hypnotiq and head over to ucla's summer term freshman initiation ceremonies, here's my mid-year report card.
good things about 2005
1. i am more equipped than ever before to digitally communicate with the world because i personally own 3 digital cameras, 2 computers, 2 ipods, 1 palm device, 1 cameraphone, and 1 very reliable wireless router.
2. i didn't die in a tragic/painful/tabloid-story-inspiring death. or any other less dramatic kind of death either, actually. whew.
3. my mom finally owns her first home. too bad about those pesky inheritance taxes, though.
bad things about 2005
1. j date
2. some bitch stole my fucking ficus.
3. paris and nicole = splitsville. such a bummer.
so now that we've seen the good and the bad things about 2005, i guess i need to do some checks and balances to measure my ability to reach my goals in any given time span. unfortunately, i have no documented record of even having goals (established or otherwise) for myself this year, so i'm just going to make some up now for your amusement.
last year's unofficial goals
1. have better sex with hotter/smarter boys. (check!)
2. drink only premium vodka - no more of that well crap. (um...no dice. i'll drink anything you put in front of me, especially if it's open bar.)
3. get rich quick. (as if. pshaw.)
4. tip 20% or more and stop being such a god damned cheapskate. (check!)
5. read more books. and by "books" i mean "magazines" and by "magazines" i mean "billboards" because let's face it, i live in los angeles so give me a freaking break already. (check this, bitch: i read billboards, magazines AND books. word.)
6. eat more sushi. (check!)
i'm on fire. seriously. all i need to do now is stop drinking swill and start buying up real estate and/or acquire a harem of highly-paid call girls, and i'm all set. you should spend more time with me because i cleary have success coursing through my veins.
that said, i suppose there are some things i can do better in the upcoming year. i keep hearing 30 is the new 20, so i should try to do the things i failed to do when i actually was that young, such as the following list of new goals.
official goals for the next whole year
1. consume a lot of mind-altering drugs in a dirty, smelly, hippie-esque communal type of environment out in the middle of the fucking desert. note to self: bring glow sticks.
2. drive across the country in a piece of shit car that has a broken air conditioner with someone i just started dating so we can break up and get back together every single day of the trip and have stupid fights in crummy motels in every god damned state along I80.
3. become a vegetarian because meat is murder. just kidding. mmm, beef.
4. stop acting 20. 30 is hot. and this year is going to fucking rock. so there.
5. blog more and better and stop it with the rip-off posts, ok?
ok. thanks. bye.
