Gogol Bordello
My friend Adam is visiting and managed to get tickets to last night’s Gogol Bordello concert. Holy hell those guys put on a great show — all 417 members. It was like an explosion that kept exploding for two full hours. The place was PACKED and they had everybody there bouncing, to the point that [...]

Please explain this to me?
You know, it’s like I get you on at Waffles and this is what you do with it? This isn’t just blatant abuse of my generosity, this is a slap in the face! First this whole cop thing… now Bryan Adams?? I…I just don’t even know what to say. I want [...]

I’m just about finished up with Richard Dawkins’ The Blind Watchmaker, a book that explains how the various dead ends and fuckups along evolution’s path reveal how design-less the universe really is. But I had to take a quick break when I learned, in a short digression of his, about a mutation that is possible [...]

Although invites are currently closed, I am the proud owner of ONE shiny new invite to Waffles.fm. Of course as I acquire more over the next couple months, I will be inviting all of my friends, so I guess this first one will go to the most impatient.

Correction: Worst Thing Ever
Yaahhh, trick! Yaahhhhh!
Little did I know that as I was posting my opinion on Soulja Boy’s internet classic Crank That, he was busy at work putting the finishing touches on the video for his latest single Yaahhh. In the YouTube exposé Yaahhh Behind the Scenes Look!, Soulja boy clarifies: “Yaahhh means get out mah face, [...]
First Day o’ Class
So in the past three years I tried going back to school for computer programming and I tried going back to school for art, consequently destroying both my love for computers and art, respectively. Since arriving in Portland, I’ve been kicking around the idea of going back to school; what other passions could I ruin [...]

I was fairly proud of the fact that I had no idea who Soulja Boy is. I was only vaguely aware of his popularity due to the excess of Soulja Boy promotion on Youtube and various social networking sites, through which I had deduced he was a “music” “artist,” but I do a pretty good [...]
