Bjork Is Almost Too Futurespacetimetravelmindeff...
Everyone who has an interest in the strange,the unknown, outer space, time travel, weird chicks, or high-concept art should like Bjork. If you don’t like any of those things, just pretend to and people will think you are cooler than you really are. If you aren’t sure if you like any of those things and want to at least attempt to be cool through merit, give Bjork a try. Her new...

Normally, I do not try to influence the social activities of the imaginary readership. Sometimes I like to try and give your raft a little pull closer to my raft as we gently glide down the “Lazy River” together. However something important is happening and I want to raise the awareness of the imaginary readership of this important happening.
The Hill City Roots Festival is being...
Update: Ghostbusters
It is 2:54 pm on Sunday September 4, 2011. After 20+ years of never seeing Ghostbusters on TV, it is currently airing on Comedy Central. I am paralyzed by the world in which we live in. That is all.

I would like to start by apologizing for taking a month off from the blog. I had to kind of figure out this whole thirties thing before I could go on unlocking the universe for the imaginary readership. I have decided to not listen to Ryan Adams for a while. Just to kind of see if constantly listening to depressing things could be contributing to the (seemingly) constant level of depression I...

So I’m 30. It feels…….a lot like 29. I have decided not to complete the “Further Down the Twilight (Not That “Twilight”) series for two reasons. One reason being I am no longer interested in sitting around thinking about my twenties, and the other reason being I feel that now that I am in my 30’s I shouldn’t be such a Mesus. I also took the...

Breaking News: I Am Not Batman
Batman has always been my favorite fictional character. This is due partly because he has the coolest costume ever and mostly because he is the coolest ever. This is not debatable. Other nerds are just wrong.
Since childhood I have always felt that I somehow possessed some of Batman’s greater qualities. This was completely insane of me and inaccurate. I am almost the complete...

Thank God those ass-hat Republicans didn’t cut funding to NPR because us cool kids can now enjoy a live recording of P J Harvey, recorded in San Francisco. The show is almost as amazing as her new album. In fact, it might be exactly as awesome. Just follow the link to spend the next two houres with Miss Polly Jean.

Polly Jean Harvey.
I should point out that she looks like a less attractive version of the only true ex-girlfriend I hopefully will ever have. Her name was Kristin and she is happily married and has a beautiful kid and I am happy for her, but I am also happy that I was able to share P.J. Harvey with her in the time I had.
I never got to share the 90’s P.J. Harvey with her, and...

Space, bitches. Space.
As we continue to spin through the turnstiles of time, I occasionally find a moment to watch a movie (aka justify the existence of my Netflix account), listen to some music (aka justify the existence of my emusic account), or remember the glory days of Michigan football (aka justify the existence of my season tickets).
While I suppose I will never truly justify the...

Through an unnamed and unidentified source, I have in my possesion a copy of the Tron:Legacy Sountrack. I have listened to it and I am here to tell you, it sounds like a movie soundtrack. It is not going to change your life. It is cool for sure, and there is a track that has Jeff Bridges talking in it (which is so cool). Other than that it is a collection of instrumental songs that have a...
The Road (Not That "The Road") or Songs I Like To...
As I have mentioned in previous posts from long ago, I sometimes use my ipod for very obvious things at very obvious times. It is when I step back and decide to share some of the thought-process behind what seems so obvious to me, that I realize I am strange and destined to be single forever. (Mostly due to my high (not that “high”) standards (which are pretty high (not that...
Dear God, I Apologize In Advance
This is Michigan-Ohio State week. Normally a happy time in my life. Or at least it used to be. ”The Game” as it is rightfully nicknamed has been significantly one-sided the last 7 years. This has been incredibly difficult to deal with for me on a personal level.
I should mention that I was born in the state of Ohio. Dayton to be exact. About an hour or so from the campus...

Life In Bizarro Michigan
I am currently in Michigan. It is November 22. It is 65 degrees outside.
Michigan State is 10-1 and possibly heading to the Rose Bowl.
St. Louis is the most dangerous city in the US. (Detroit is 3rd)
Emminem is sober.
There are lights in Michigan Stadium.
Mind blown.

If you want to see the coolest thing in the world on your computer and are of the nostalgic variety (like myself) then this is something you should take 5 minutes and do. Do it for your soul.

I am now in the third week of my first “adult job”. I used to refer to “adult” jobs as “real” jobs but now that I have worked in my new environment for a few weeks I realize what my parents were talking about when they told me to finish college.
The element of manual labor is not to be discounted when classifying a job as “real” or “not...
