LACMA

Yesterday I went to the Los Angeles Musuem of Contemporary Art by myself. It was sweet. I donned my huge rapper headphones and walked around listening to Sigur Ros. I saw the Magritte stuff that they were showing and it was freaking AWESOME. I bought the book about him, and decided this was my favorite

Also, I realize how big of a douche I look in my picture.

How To Be A Hipster

I Found this online, and thought it was hilarious

How To Appear In A Hipster Photoblog

- Don't look directly at the camera, look off to the side as if to indicate that something really cool is happening. But please, don't be excited that something cool is happening.
-- If you MUST look at the camera, be sure to make a pouty/kissy face. And don't try to be ironic, it won't translate.
-- Anybody can kiss a member of the opposite sex, only cool people can pull of same sex kisses. Caution: Ladies, don't look like you're into it, otherwise you might end up on Collegehumor instead... and you don't want that.
-- Show your breasts. And don't forget be angry/disinterested while doing so. Once again, you don't want to come off like a drunken sorority girl who's doing it for attention. They're sluts, you're unique and artsy.
-- Guys, show your breasts. More specifically, show your breast (singular). Try to go with the one-handed shirt lift for maximum effect. Oh, and if you look bored while doing so you'll appear to be making a social statement... or something.
-- Look terrified, like you've never had your picture taken before. Channel the Amish for inspiration.
-- If you have sunglasses... and you're inside... and it's nighttime... wear them. Totally.
-- When in doubt, grab the nearest breast.
-- If you're the DJ, make it look like you're actually doing something technical. Like pretend to adjust the tempo, or hold your headphones to one side to let people know that you're cueing up your next sick track.
-- Cigarettes : Hipsters :: Wheelchairs : Cripples. Don't leave home without them.
-- If you're black, look angry. In order to pull this off you need to remember two things: 1) Keep a white girl nearby to show that everything is okay, and 2) Make sure you're not wearing something ghetto-y, otherwise you'll look like you walked into Happy Ending on the wrong night.
-- Not sure what you're going to wear? Who needs a shirt when you can always just tape x's over your nipples? It's both practical and affordable.
-- You know that little straw they give you to mix your drinks? Drink out of it. It gives you an excuse to suck in your cheeks.
-- If you're ever 6-12 inches away from a vagina, make sure you stick your tongue out.

My Favorite Albums of the Year

Another year gone bye. Its been amazing. I changed jobs, changed cities, and changed into some new facial hair. Here is my list of best albums from the last year, in no paticular order. If your interested in hearing any of them, let me know and i'll get you a copy somehow

1. The Hold Steady - Boys and Girls in America

Pretty freaking amazing. Reminds me of drinking in a bar for some reason. Lyrics area amazing, if you like O.A.R, Dispatch, or The Arctic Monkeys, this is waaaaay better, and you should listen to it now.

2. The Thermals - The Body, The Blood, The Machine

Very gritty and good.

3. Sean Lennon - Friendly Fire

I saw him in concert, and he was amazing. Yea, he sounds a little like his dad, but every track is really good and original.

4. The Knife - Silent Shout

Techno/Dance/Indie rock music. Pitchfork named it album of the year, and it's not suprising. The brother sister duo rock and, ummm i an to lazy to figure out a better way to describe it.

5. Grizzly Bear - Yellow House

"Knife" is the best song for this "lo-fi" sorta band. The Knife also cover a few of these songs, and its greta for chilling out

6. Girl Talk - Night Ripper

Perfect party music. It's pretty much a DJ mash up of popular rap songs mixed with 80's/90's music. Everytime people come over i just put this cd on, and it rocks the house

7. Cat Power - The Greatest

As i was in my depressing female singer phase, i listened to this cd a lot. She has a good voice, and it makes me want to drink tea

8. The Velvet Teen - Cum Laude

Sweet i love it.


Thats it. To lazy to think about more

Trance

I've been listening to Japanese trance music. So good. I came across this asian singer named Ayumi Hamasaki

Everyone knows i like asians, so i was already smitten. Anyway, i guess she's some sort of Britney Spears type figure in Japan. I found a couple trance remix's of all her stuff, and i fell in love.

If your interested (most likely not) download it here

While listening to it i described what one of the music videos would be like to Meghan...it kind of came out of nowhere while we were talking about something else.

Meghan: haha ok

ever?

i feel like atlantic city should be your new spot

3:50 PM me: maybe

my new spot is in your heart

always

Meghan: <3

me: and then lights flash

and japanesse trance comes on

and the walls fall away

and were in the middle of a desert

and you see a shot of the two of us from above

3:51 PM

like hanging from a helicopter

were both wearing white

just staring at each other as the camera flys by

then we start dancing

Meghan: ajklhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

me: super serious

staring at each other

not dancing with each other

just watching each other

3:52 PM dust clouds spin behind us

finally

the song dies down a bit

Meghan: under the moonlight

me: and it focus on your face

and while youre dacing super hard and super fast

...no not under the moonlight

dont be stupid...

anyway...

a tear starts to roll down your face

and you stop dancing abruptly

and so do i

3:53 PM and you walk away

and then it shows me

and then my hand

as a pic of us in black and white falls to the grown

and breaks like it was made of glass

and blows away in the wind

so then its just me

as you walk away

and i have this stern look on my face

super zoomed in

and the beat hits again

super hard

3:54 PM BUM BUM BUM BUM

and zooms out

Meghan: hahahhahahah

me: and there are like 6 hot asian chicks behind me

all dancing in unision with me

Meghan: obviously

me: and we dance

and the sun sets

and comes back up

but im still dancing

HARD

and when finally

many moons have past

we realize

3:55 PM that we dance cause we have to

and thats our life

and the asian bitches are dancing in unision to me

because they respect my stance on life and the way i subject my life to one of dancing

and while your gone

Meghan: dang, so sentimental

me: the beats will be there forever

3:56 PM me: and as the songs ends

im looking off a cliff

at the sunsetting

and for a second

i think i see you dancing in the last glowing rays of the sun

and i give a little smile

because i know

that you will always be with me

in my dance moves

if no where else

THE END

Roscoe's

I went to Roscoe's Chicken 'n Whaffles today.
I didn't know what a heart attack looked like until i saw the menu. Wow. I can say i had it though.

The worst part. I met Jack White. Well, that was actually the best part, because i think he is a very talented musician. But, since i had brought my camera to document my trip to Roscoe's, i had it in my pocket, and totally forgot. I could have taken a pic with him. Fuck

Do you ever call a couple people because you need to talk to them, and when neither answer, just start finding small reasons to call anyone just to satisfy your need to hear someones voice/know that your phone still works?

Me neither

Updates

I got a wii. My uber-nerdness has begun. I already had to put a new set of batteries in the controller, if that gives anyone an idea.



So i live with my 14 year old female cousin. We hug every time i get home from work...but, i need to figure out how to do it, cause she has....ummmm developed? so i dont know how to do it without me feeling really awkward.

I cant stop listening to depressing female singers......Regina Spektor, Cat Power, and Fiona Apple are the main three right now. Next thing you know ill have a tea habit and own 3 three cats....i dunno it makes sense to me.

New Years is fast approaching, and it's my least favorite holiday of the year. Why? becuase i got to figure out somewhere cool to be, and have to spend the whole night looking for someone to make out with. Odd's are i'll spend it in the corner of some lame party drinking watered down jungle juice and talking to someone's ugly cousin from Detroit
