A Bachelors Blog

Ok so I am at Starbucks and trying this method Out just to see how I feel about it. So karma is a funny thing. It tends to move pretty quickly too For example, I was about to buy a chai latte when the store had A brief ten second power outage which shut down the tills Ok, no sweat.. a little weird but whatever. So the barrista dude says hey You get a free coffee! Hey cool, I think to myself, that's a bonus... Of course I didn't see the group of loud Asians coming to sit beside me Or the rowdy student kids that plunked down right at the table on front of me And of course when I figured that this was as awesome as it was getting, behold the family with the screaming kid in the stroller. Bingo. Night complete.... Well Almost... All that noise gave me the gift of headache Free coffee.... Oh how I paid. My quiet evening of writing has been ambushed ... Aw well... The drink tastes great hah!

 I couldn't find the video(at least a decent one, youtube has ONE shitty video of this most excellent of songs), so I am posting these poignant lyrics.   Anne Frank wrote...mostly to herself, usually to stay sane and keep boredom at bay, but I think she also wrote to be heard... to feel alive... Her story is a sad one, and needs to be remembered.  She wrote with purpose...  survival.   I can't think of any better reason to write...  The Watchmen - Shut Up Her head sits in a state it rings approximately true to one mind But more front and center She's what becomes a legend most with memories such as hers Diarized inside the cage there's no escape only inches of clean air Breathing the best that she knows how Breathing the best that she knows how to breathe She's so in love with the great escape it's all around her hopes and in her dreams Of one day just transporting Where would all the young girls go would they wander around like me I wish I k...

Spent some time this evening just hammering out some more character development, as well as my first official 'transition' chapter for new character intro as well as story line advancement.     I find it odd that having never studied english, literature, writing, or anything past highschool Language Arts (What a joke), I have such a zeal and understanding of all of this.  I am glad that I have truly found my own personal talent.   Yeah I know I know... It's always been there, keep it down in back. I know it's always been there but the effort to pull it out can be a real struggle at times, and other times it forces itself on me, rudely interrupting my evening or precious sleeping time... you know, like right now?   It cannot be denied.  I'm ok with it.  I don't anticipate being some artistic genius of any sort, or even getting published along the way, although that would be very cool... I think I just want to leave something behind. Something th...

The excruciating and oh so useless waiting has finally ended. I have an IPhone...and it is perfect for all of my ADD needs, as well as my musical desires.  There is something fantastic about listening to music while at home, and having that same music follow you (playing) while you go to the car, plug in there, and drive wherever, go to a coffee shop for some reading/writing, slap on some headphones and the whole time, your lovely musical stylings are with you.   So maybe it's not a new thing, but being able to check my emails, texts, phone calls, video chats, messenger, and various video games I have Apped into this little badboy, well... it makes things very cool!   I think I may try the blogging app from my phone one of these times and just see how that plays out.     Technology, Sorcery of a new generation. I dig it.

More Dead Island Videos Probably the most compelling reason for me to finally cave and purchase a Play Station 3.  This game looks amazing...and the trailer is twisted up in all the right directions. Especially enjoy the audio....  

For those of you who may, at any time, wonder at my bent sort of humor.    Feel free to blame these guys, and classic (awesome) skits such as this. As well, recently a friend of mine emailed me a fantastic clip from a Danish game show, and it has kept me laughing all week long....   THIS...is very much the kind of humor that transcends all barriers. Potty humor, is genius...in its own way. Not sure why this refuses to get old...maybe its the fact he is burying his face right up in there...or his reaction...OR..his retching..but damn, as I sit here getting ready for bed..I'm STILL laughing at it!  Please... from the bottom of my heart.... enjoy. PS- Thanks go out to Carly for hooking this up for me. If yer out there reading this, Nomnom,  You Rock!

I officially acknowledge that it's now ...for the next 23 hours...Valentines day. A fabricated, money generating, expectation bloated, argument starting, frustration of a day...  And no, I'm not a fan.  When I am in a relationship, then I will do my best to be the romantic and think up something special because yeah, it is nice to do something for your significant other, but I figure thats the norm, why designate a day...instead just be considerate every now and then and buy her flowers...when they aren't marked up 65%!      But then again... I'm single, so what do I know about relationships...communicating...compromise, or sacrifice?  Psh! Here is my Facebook status as of right now, for the day... -It's officially V-D. And like the disease it so conveniently spells out... most folks just want it to go away as quickly as possible so they can forget it was ever inflicted on them- Deep Thought, By Ryan I put up with VD because its expected,...

And without further ado, everyone please welcome...Mr Flu!!!!!   Yes Mr Flu, you can hang out wherever you wish, please make yourself at home, I don't mind..and really I don't have a choice!   You liking the Lymphnodes? Sure, g'wan in! Trash the place, rough up my little White Blood Cells, they weren't doing too much anyway. Ahhh, I see what yer doing now!! Went straight for the throat you cunning piratey germ bastid!!! Literally.   I swear to Christ, if I could junkpunch a virus, I totally would.... ...and then I'd run far and fast, because the retribution would be epic. Ps, I really hayyyyyyyte missing work.

Been on a bender for the Black Keys.... what a solid band, and their videos are pretty damn hilarious! Love it! Been rockin out the Scrabble on Facebook with my younger brother... he kicked the ever loving crap outta me, now its time for some justified payback!  The goings a bit slow as we arent on at the same times, but its moving along nicely, and I finally have a half decent lead....knock on wood hah!   Just a report in for now, not too much shakin in my world, just getting hammered hard at work... The past week was a real bruiser and Im feeling a bit sickly after the marathon, but will play it by ear.   Been working on writing...with a pen and everything! Hah, I love tech, but theres something that just feels right about a page full of my goofy scrawlings and scratched out thoughts, rewritten and scratched out again.   It just seems to fit, and it all tumbles out of me like it's been sitting there the whole time, like a dog waiting for its owner to get hom...
