fire eye’d boy
i’ve never felt so distant or unattached before. my life consists of waking up at seven every morning to go to work. i’m there until five, or will leave to go to class. it’s all mindless. my friends aren’t here anymore. i have lindsay. that’s it. boomer’s gone, kyle’s gone, tj’s gone (home, off my couch), nick’s gone (kind of), and everyone else is at state.
i have nothing.
i need to get paid. i want cigarettes.
i’ve been sooo busy. work and school both started. sigh.
and, who doesn’t love this election?
jon stewert is amazing.
stacks on deck, patrone on ice.
i got the job at westborn. i’ve been working the last few days. lindsay and i are in the same department. we’ve been, and are going to be seeing a lot of each other. i’m just relieved to finally have a job and a source of income.
bbq tomorrow. grillin’ and drinkin’. good times.
i typically don’t like rap, but damn, this is a good song:
T.I. – Whatever You Like
i’m even excited for his new album to come out.
somehow i’m not impressed
so, it’s been a while.
things have been moving fast in the last two weeks. i went to east lansing for welcome week. i had a job interview. i dropped acid. i said good-bye to boomer and kyle…
it’s going to be so hard. this is the break i wanted when i chose to come home. time to focus on myself and figure out what direction i’m taking in life. but, this break means i’ll have to be separated from two of my closest friends for months. “friends.” i’m not sure that word can really capture how influential the two have been on my life. sigh, boomer in montreal. kyle in baltimore. the cities aren’t even close enough to visit them at the same time. i’m not sure who to visit first and when.
it’ll be lindsay and me now. everyone else is at state, and nick goes back to ann arbor. tj will be around, but i hope he stops living on my couch when classes start.
よくになるといいんですが。
buy it, use it, break it, fix it
the last few days have been exciting. wednesday, pineapple express came out. nick, tj, angie, and myself smoked and saw it. such a funny movie. it really was a perfect blend of stoner and action. seth rogen is hilarious, and it was great seeing james franco in something other than an overly-serious role. the only negative to this movie is that it there are some parts that can only be appreciated if you have a good relationship with weed. but, i have a great relationship with weed, so i loved said parts.
thursday was fairly uneventful, but kyle, aaron, amy, and her friend from france came over. we got drunk, and chatted.
friday was the day of the second annual taterfest (white trash party) at my house. crazy good times. a lot of people i didn’t expect to come actually stopped by like erik, jaclyn, amanda, jon, della, and ryan. i, of course, was wasted and wearing my dad’s mechanic onezie. so, i imagine i made a good fool of myself.
tonight was the chelsea handler show. tj and i won tickets from a local radio station, and got to meet her after the show. and, by “meet,” we took a quick photo without talking much… with my shitty cell phone camera too. also, the radio station could only dish out lawn seats. cheappp. but, she put on a good show. she fought for stereotyping, called midgets “nuggets,” and revealed that she was a chronic masturbator as a child.
me, chelsea handler, tj. picture quality: non-existant.
i’ve got more good times coming up too. up north at nick’s, boomer’s and the dunn’s going away and tj’s birthday party, welcome week at state. that’s good.
when no one cares, you count souvenirs
another weekend. went to erica’s again on friday. a lot of people came–nick, tj, lindsay, boomer, leah, kyle, livvi, sara–almost a sort of reunion for who i hung out with the most last summer. we played waterfall, and began all kinds of drunken behaviors, ending with lindsay, boomer, and myself hopping in erica’s parents’ tub. it was strange.
saturday, nick, tj, boomer, and i sat around nick’s house, smoking. we watched a bbc america reveals documentary about men who are either in love with “real” dolls or just use them for sexual purposes. the guys are crazy. absolutely crazy. i found the opening three minutes on youtube-
the bbc america reveals series is becoming one of my favorites. it’s just like watching intervention–some mix of shock, horror, and amazement.
today, i went on a bike ride with angie. it was long and relaxing. afterward, we picked up livvi and went to nick’s to hang out with him and seitz.
all i want to do is get to friday. that’s the night of the second annual “tater” or white trash party at my house. it’s going to be great.
also, i heard this song today, and remembered how much i love it.
M.I.A. – Paper Planes
i smoke an ungodly amount.
i’m unable to describe much in detail. erica’s house has been open, so we’ve been partying there. tj and i threw up at hoover one night. saw boomer’s new house. i also rediscovered my love for video games. good week.
we’ll dig graves on both her sides
the weekend was busy once again. friday, nick bought a xbox, so we bought tree, smoked, and played that for a while. later, i headed to angie’s, where i drank some and smoked a blunt. i stayed there for roughly an hour, and then went to ryan’s. he got a keg and had a bunch of people over. i got drunk, talked to some people i didn’t know, and smoked a pack of cigarettes. when things winded down, i went home to bed.
saturday, nick and i hung out with brandon for a bit. it’s weird to think he’s going away for three months come tuesday. after all the resistance, his parents had finally put him in a position that he could not escape without their help. he claims that he’s going to come back and be more discrete about drinking and smoking, but i can’t help thinking that this place will get to him. this could very well be the last few times i see brandon. afterward, we went to nick’s and smoked a couple blunts. i eventually became restless, so i left and went out to aaron’s house. lindsay, aaron, and aaron were there drinking. i had some lime smirnoff and caught up. we played taboo for quite some time. lindsay and i smoked, which only accomplished sending me into the spins. i passed out feeling sick.
i don’t see the point in much of anything anymore.
Tokyo Police Club – In A Cave
and we raise our heads for the color red.
yesterday, i went to ann arbor for my interview, and tj tagged along. i think i did a good job selling myself, but there were two things that discouraged me. first, the lawyer told me that he had people with actual college degrees applying for the position. second, the workers in the office are apparently avid non-smokers. that won’t work well with me. hopefully, it will all work out.
afterward, tj and i smoked in a stairwell nick showed me, and went to stairway to heaven. it has such a great selection of bowls, bubblers, bongs, and any other smoking devices you can imagine. later, we hung out with lindsay. she talked me into doing dramamine, which was a surreal experience. i was having slight hallucinations, hearing voices, and my body felt like it was moving through water. it made really drowsy though, and coffee did nothing to help, so i went to bed fairly early.
so, i just joined the dlist.

may our bodies remain.
tonight, nick, tj, my sister, her boyfriend, and myself saw the dark knight. it was quite an experience with the huge crowd, rude attendants, and finding time to smoke without my sister knowing. the movie itself was fantastic though. i’m usually very metacognitive when watching movies, paying attention to the actors’ performances, the writing, and the cinematic style. this movie though, had me so involved that i didn’t consider these things until the end. the writing was amazing. i never suspected that two-face’s tale would begin and end in this movie. the joker’s part has never been more maniacal, and the claim that him and the batman need each other sent chills down my spine. heath ledger gave the chilling performance everyone has been talking about, and completely disappeared into the insanity of the joker. it is a shame heath went out the way he did. he made this movie become larger than life.
also, katie holmes is just stupid for not returning for this film. no matter what she thinks, she was definitely not above this role.
so, i have a job interview tomorrow at a law firm in downtown ann arbor. i would love to work downtown, and potentially move there. i hope i get the job.
also, if you never have, watch arrested development.
