I got a tumblr and other assorted things…

Because I am totally cool guy who is trying to be a person who works full time on the internet and writes all the time, I found another thing to distract myself by starting a tumblr. It’s mainly for shorter posts that I don’t feel are worth posting here like this one I posted this morning:

I found an old ipod shuffle (I would say “my old ipod shuffle”, but I honestly have no recollection of ever buying or being given one) and it has the weirdest, most vintown playlist ever on it.

  1. Anthems for a Seventeen Year Old Girl by Broken Social Scene
  2. Banquet by Bloc Party
  3. Rebellion (Lies) by Arcade Fire
  4. Last Nite by The Strokes
  5. lisztomania by Phoenix
  6. Whoever You Are by Geggy Tah
  7. Going Back To Cali by Notorious BIG
  8. Game Got Switched by Ludacris
  9. Off The Wall by Redman & Eminem
  10. Fuck You by Cee-Lo Green

And that’s all. There is still 42 MB left to fill. I can picture the timeline when I started working on this (late summer/fall 2010, post-Scott Pilgrim (track 1/when Fuck You was still cool)), but don’t remember why I stopped.

Regardless of why, I am going to be listening to this for the rest of my trip.

You know, stuff like that. One might question my desire to have a tumblr, blog, baseball blog, twitter, facebook and google reader as well as my business websites, screenwriting(?) and freelance writing; and that would be a good thing to question. On the surface it seems insane, but someone once told me that writer’s block is when there is something that you need to express/write about and can’t for whatever reason. This is my attempt to get everything I want to say out there in one way or another and thus never suffer from this disease. I’ll let you know how it works out.

Here’s a quick update on how to follow me properly: read more »

Apparently I am an indie rock nerd

I was thinking about doing something about my favorite albums of the 2k oo’s and I came to realize that apparently, I am an indie rock nerd. Almost all of my favorite albums come from this genre and really, I had no idea. I think this is something that I for some reason keep secret from everyone. It’s not on purpose. It’s just that there is “hanging out with my friends” music (Tesla, Billy Joel, Michael Jackson), “songs I sing in karaoke” (Heart, George Michael, Outkast) and then the stuff that I listen to at home (Wilco, Hold Steady). I’m hardcore about this stuff. I don’t want to be that guy who plays a song on the jukebox at the bar that nobody knows and/or likes. I don’t want to be the guy singing The Pixies in karaoke, I want to be the guy singing the stuff that makes people say “woah who is that smooth mf-er”. That’s me, that’s how I roll.

Anyways, I don’t normally do music stuff because I’m always so behind on it but there is enough here to give you a little taste of what I’m all about. My best music of the double zeroes is: read more »

I’m just a haolie boy

bruddahizI realized that I wrote a lot about moving to Hawaii yesterday, but not actually about what it was like in Hawaii. Here’s the thing about Hawaii if you take away the beaches, the sun, the weather and everything else you are in an overpriced Alabama. Hawaiian people are stupid. Here’s how you know the Hawaiian people are stupid, they eat Spam. Spam is available everywhere in Hawaii. McDonalds has Spam McMuffins, Burger King has a Spam Whopper and Taco Bell has a Spam Chimichanga. Everywhere you go it’s Spam and anyone who has ever ate Spam knows that it’s fucking terrible. Honestly, I think if you met the CEO of Spam and asked him how he got his money he would do one of two things A) he would apologize or B) he would lie about it. There is no way anyone on the board of directors of Spam actually uses their product, they are most likely ashamed to be on the board of directors at Spam which proves that it’s a shitty product.

Whenever someone asks me if I surfed when I lived in Hawaii I tell them no and when they ask me why I tell them because Hawaiian people will kill you. read more »

I can’t wait to read about me later on your blog

I’ve somehow reached a point in my life where I love anything that has the word “musical” in it.
