Calm 'n' Punk

I saw a bumper sticker today that said "I'm already against the next war". This was one of the nicest things I've seen in a while.

I find it hard these days to focus on the specifics or details of anything in the world, aside from living my own life happily and surrounding myself with people who make me happy (and who hopefully feel the same way about my presence!). I can't really be bothered with the news, politics, music, TV shows or movies. I do enjoy these things, but I really just like being around the same old awesome people, eating the same old food that I like, and laughing about the same old things.

This seems very selfish of me, as I stop to think about what I'm putting in the proverbial ink here. As of now, however, I'd really like to focus on being positive and optimistic on my own terms and hope that the world takes care of itself without me.

Songs I want to hear tonight:
Talking Heads - This Must Be The Place
Ging Nang Boyz - I Don't Wanna Die
Sokabe Keiichi - Doyou no Yoru
Doobie Brothers - What A Fool Believes

Your Kind of Loving Makes Me Feel So Good

As a sage once said, "No give up."

As the same sage once said, "Don't put all your eggs in one basket."

Every Mother's Child is Going to Spy

Not only is this a great song, but the story behind it is cute.

I have a couch and a xmas tree now!

Naughty Boys x Crass Crew

I think that the first two Yellow Magic Orchestra albums are some of the best music I've ever heard.

The VTA became Muni for a day and I made many friends on the buses and rails:

Friend #1: "Hey man, you know if this train is still running? I just got outta jail, man, they arrested me for drinking in public. I wanna go to my cousin's house 'cuz I'm getting hungry."

Friend #2: "Ahh sup homes! You goin' this way?... Ahh sick homes! I think I'm gonna have to make it out to Empire and 8th to crash with my bitch out there. I got this other bitch out by the Great Mall too, though, wanted to go out there. Sheeeit. I ain't even been home in 3 days, just out drinkin' homes!"

Friend #3: "What they fools talkin' 'bout? What theeey fools talkin' bout?!?! I don't want nothin' less than that yella pussy! Go 'head and get mad! Don't want nothin' less than that yella pussy!!! Go 'head and get mad!"
