Ok, so I haven't really done a real update in a while. So sue me.

Just kidding, it's brewing, I'm just in a bit of a creative slump, I guess. Once the chaos simmers down a bit, I'll have a big, fat, steaming post for ya.

'Til then, Nay Jabba No Bodda!

I have nothing to say, for I am mourning the loss of ignorance. Truth is painful and my sanity is blasted.

Saturday, January 28, 2006


Went to the art museum today with my sister and my cousin Jenni. It was pretty cool, until everybody else showed up, crying children and the elderly with younger relatives there to tell them "This is a picture of a prairie." Dr. Pretentious was there staring for long minutes through Black Flies at abstract still life. I was especially moved by the landscapes. I loved all the activity in Dawn of Arcadia, and was nearly choked by Monet's smoky depiction of Waterloo Bridge, hazy foreground with a barely visible industrial skyline.

It's good for the soul, I think. I want to drink in every detail, feel how the bare feet meet the sand of the shore, smell the incense in Spanish monasteries, taste the breeze through autumn poplars.

Everyone should go. It's free on Saturday. Show up early.

Skirting the Wasteland

Feeling out my new digs, I went walking today. Not much of a trek, maybe a mile, but enough of a journey to experience the blight at my doorstep. Inviting colors drew me towards it, the air thick with the sounds of urban traffic. Smells of coffee and fried delicacies swept the streets carried by the afternoon breeze. And before I realized it, I was face with a hell of Dantean proportions. I gawked as zombies crept along the sidewalks clutching paper sacks from Guess and Aeropostale. I shuddered as devils peddled happiness served in Starbucks cups. I gaped in horror as brooding suburban teens smoked cigarettes outside the Lucky Strike Bowling Alley. This, my friends, is the pit of trendiness known as Bel Mar.

Located in the heart of Lakewood, and two blocks from my place, the Bel Mar is a place where well to do people take their well to do families to drown their sorrows in an orgy of commercialism. The can buy their cell phones, jewelry, hip threads, and space age toys. And when they are overcome with the shopping frenzy, they can refresh and refuel at any of a number of pricey restaurants, washing down their fatty meats (or more likely asian chicken salads with pesto and raspberry vinagrette) with grande iced machiattos, reenergizing for yet another thrust into store-bought ecsatsy. Once their thirst for trinkets is slated, they will return once more to their luxurious tombs to open their Prada and leave cans filled with packaging on the curb.

It is a flashy concrete desert, and is still under construction. I suppose I shall tolerate it. It should raise the price of my condo nicly.

Ah, Whimsy!

I must say I am greatly amused by Babelfish. As I may have said before, it's alot of fun to put some english text in, tranlate it to japanese, and then back into english. The results have been consistantly strange and hilarious. In a wierd way. Well, it cracks me up, which may not do anything for anybody else acording to certain friends of mine. But I have decided, mostly out of boredom, to share this with you. I present to you the entire tale of Kitty and The Flame as translated by Babelfish.




As for anonymous quidnunc you thought that (the calendar of word day thank you) bro of my most love and that we would like to know the story of the being broken eye between the companion before the imbalance chemically. Therefore this the queer story, requires the example. As for that the enemy of their non- 倶 戴 heaven, the hell where it strikes under the reason (as for that the common knowledge that is) succubi can call the other ogre to their help, the companion before the earlier description which creative ones which are called from depth is united is described. The beer swilling bystander who does not become aware in gravity of state makes the foolish attitude for the camera. As for him afterwards disemboweled.

In order I am best and for I to be able to do, this yarn is sent with relay. The name which is in order to protect the innocent person changed.

The sibling of McStudly of the spear from here being known, through that mother who knows her from work as "the flame" met to the kitty. The kitty first the girl it is good at first glance, and fairly was the pleasure which should pass the time. She when so it is really broken it is, joke being enjoyed, likes the fact that it inhales the tobacco, the ひ っ chestnut does not obtain the bit in order to return. She still started sending information and many many items of information pleasantly concerning her plural diseases which are the girl straw raincoat like her even afterwards with relay.
The flame took the taste really in her, those started entering date. As for him those had, when that she truth seems "with 1 year old. It was the spear and "concerning the characteristic of the whimsical monkey completely he said before this, therefore the fact that the spear barely hides skeptical theory, however supports that sibling was tried. As for that the kitty or the flame as for directly neurosis conformity of dementia it was not moved to those which are certain, together before.
This is when thing... starting to keep being warped. When the house del of La Fuego is placed, you grasped from the friend feet of the kitty and her 17 cat courses concerning their medical science, and social problem pulled tore with the furniture and, started urinating with thing. It was good, the honest place, everything which is not 17 cats it was in peeing. He, only 4 months for flame took that in order to decide that the perhaps, very large mistake was made.
Clear, in another place, and that epiphany after those, perhaps it becomes the blind person to exclude the kitty from that skill weaving/grade of the flame which in wise decision was made it moved at first glance. The flame was restricted to town, the kitty returned to her home of Milwaukee. Then support in town. Then support in Milwaukee. She this, repeated the cat, at least, once more and disappeared next from life of the spear and the flame.
Between life of the flame you did not take that long in the return to normalcy. He could enjoy 18 monthly this. Then the call started, that thought of image of happiness of the kitty was infected once more with that side depending upon the poison which flowed from telephone reciever to that ear. Characteristic of the whimsical monkey well and image. And so, even in the statement of the spear in spite, as for the kitty as for waltzed and fear, it started for the second time in the apartment of the flame by her familial tension and unemployment being burnt.
As for the next 3 months there is the vicinity of indescribable. After consuming many alcohol, giving humiliation to the spear, keeping distance that friend, were 2 parties in the kind of place which goes to the length where she is splendid. As for 2nd rather than being distant, many gradiose and, and originating in dramatic 2nd greatly, destruction. This included the flame which Kitty tightened from that apartment. He the night, being finished in regard to the movement from Ma and Pa to the kitty, her of the gear is slow, you obtained, but know crossing you inserted with her monopolized ones. It came very, it is not.

This is in the place where it ends, for the present. She went out almost 1 year completly, but recently you show the face of disturbance with the spear, commute the taste of the flame. Perhaps her hang on in the flame. Perhaps, she should call the moth. Perhaps and so... there are many which come...



Ha ha! That shit's funny, isn't it, Sean?

This one goes out to my new friends



Well, I'm not sure they're friends. They're names are Kala474jerrica and trinity31marquis, and they are using my blog to advertise some crappy lumber company. "Buy their stock" they say. "Fabulous hard wood" they say.

THIS BLOG IS NOT A FORUM TO ADVERTISE YOUR STOCK! We've got enough fabulous hard wood stalk around here! We don't need yours.

If I could delete their comments, I would. You wanna post ads, do that on your own blogs. Oh wait, I see the flaw in that. You want to put it someplace where there is a chance of people reading it. I won't let you take advantage of me, or my actual friends and readers, like that.

And granny's got my back. You DON'T want to face her wrath.

Professional Karaoke, Here I Come

Last night, the gang and I went to The Outback Saloon in Boulder for their karaoke contest. This one had a $10 entry fee, first time there's been a fee. Prize money, I presume. Anyway, I tied for first place! I'm so psyched! The final is August 31 at the same dive. Yes, it's a dive. Kate commented that in the swanky town of Boulder, full of hip and happening clubs and bars, I was able to find the one dive. What the hey, I like dives. So homey.
Well, I have a fair amount of confidence about the finals. Bob says the one thing I need to work on is stage presance. I can't argue. Maybe if I find a pair of stylish pants without pockets I'll do better. But with the singing of my "special song" I always knock 'em dead. Oh yea! I can say it because it's true. (My head isn't too big... yet)
Until next time, Laird, the prima donna, signing out.

The Lady On My Right Arm


I guess not all of you know that I got a new tattoo. It's actually about 4 months old now. Got it at Bolder Ink in, um, Boulder. (The site hasn't been updated since October '03) But if you're in the area and feel the need to permanantly scar yourself, that's definatly the place to do it. They are nice, and it felt less like I was paying a biker to shoot ink into my arm than it felt like I was commisioning an artist to paint the canvas that is my body. There was concept drawings and everything.

P.S. Ma doesn't like it.

The Death of Romance

Match.com Is starting to get a little depressing. I'm trying to have a positive outlook about it, but it's kind of trying. The women who advertise on the site are of course looking for their dream guy. This is unfortunately not a working class wiener with a state job. It's a doctor or movie star. Listen to me, single moms. You are not going to find a man who makes 100k a year on an internet dating site. They do not need it. "My daughter is the most important thing to me, along with your wallet." If they aren't looking for a doctor, they are looking for a vegetarian who doesn't smoke. Then there are the few who appear compatible. They have cute photos, like tattoos, and don't seem to care about income. Very interested in sense of humor. They are just not interested in answering e-mails. (pessimism alert) Even if they did, they'd probably want me for a big sister, anyway. I am honest and a listener, which makes me the guy that girls like to dump their problems on, but I'm not gonna beat them up, so I am uninteresting in a romantic sense. (end pessimism)
Things are gonna get better, I'm sure. It's just having gone 15 month's without the touch of a female is a little trying. If I was a virgin, I'm sure I'd be fine what with not knowing what I was missing. But I do know. And I miss it. It's making me wierd, and It's getting old.

I know my perfect woman is out there, just hope she's closer than Budapest.

Alot of you have been bugging me for some, so here ya go. All for you.

Don't say I never selflessly gave of myself for you. Because now you know that would be a lie.

Drink deeply, and know I am with you.
