What 2007 Gave To Me

• Depression and happiness --a combo kit
• Jet airplanes and the notion of being twenty-thousand fucking feet up in the air.
• Four awesome days in the desert listening to awesome music
• A reunited political nu-metal band and the roughest crowd I've ever been in
• Sitting outside a tent in the middle of the desert, taking in the music and wondering Where are my friends tonight? (LCD Soundsystem)
• Two tickets to a canceled Decemberists concert
• Yearning led to Heartbreak and Heartbreak led to Romance in the same 48-hour period.
• Zeros and ones dressed In Rainbows
• Continental Homesick Alien
• An unexpected endeavour into the wild, wild world of Indiana
• Subtle racism and Super Walmarts
• Connecting Flights and Airport security
• Overdrafts and Credit Card Debt --Welcome to the real world fucko!
• Neon Bibles and a Fire of the Arcade variety at the Hollywood Bowl
• Fancy Belgium beers and the roots of a possible alcohol problem.
• Reunited Pumpkins that aren't so Smashing. Ginger Reyes is fucking hot though.
• Lazy Eyes and Lovers that are so polite, so polite. Silversun Pickups.
• Vinyl.Vinyl.Vinyl.Vinyl.
• A newfound interest in electronic music.
• Finally being able to play barred chords
• A resurgence in my interest in blogging.
• Life.

Happy New Year.

You can take the beaner out of Mexico...

But you can't take the beaner out of the beaner. This is from a McDonald's parking lot in South LA. There were six of these running around.

Tipsy

Tipsy. I want more great white. It was delicious. Any one want to drink with me?

Bored at work

The break room. A small taste of heaven in the middle of retail hell.

This list is fucking bogus
