Dumb and Hummer

Posted by zhx on May 26th, 2008 filed in All, Randomness

The other day I saw an actual Hummer downtown — the original, boxy Hummer. It looked very out of place in a city like Portland, but when he came to a stop sign right next to me, I could see a “Biodiesel” sticker prominently displayed on the side. A statement? Or just clever camouflage to [...]

All You Can Eat (Limit Two)

Posted by zhx on April 25th, 2008 filed in All, Randomness

When I got back to my apartment building last night, there were two buffalo wings sitting on top of the stairs in the hallway. There’s ALWAYS random things in the hallway here, so I just laughed and continued on my way. But I got another laugh when I went skateboarding today and they were STILL [...]

I Dream in Stupid

Posted by zhx on April 20th, 2008 filed in All, Randomness

When I was younger I used to dream a lot — vivid dreams, too — that I would often remember well after waking. In fact, I still distinctly remember several dreams I had as a kid. It concerns me a bit then that for the past several years I’ve been having pretty dreamless sleep. Well, [...]

Some Illiterate Fiction

Posted by zhx on April 6th, 2008 filed in All, Randomness

there was a guy named after his great grand father.He was to be like [...]

I Gave Up on Seal

Posted by zhx on April 5th, 2008 filed in All, Music, Randomness

I posted back on the first that Nick had suggested I learn Kiss from a Rose on guitar, which was a brilliant idea because I love knowing songs that make people say “…why do you know that song?” I had originally planned on multitracking several parts and covering the whole song instrumentally, but I had [...]

Voice of Reason

Posted by zhx on April 3rd, 2008 filed in All, Randomness

I realized today that, even if I had the talent, I could never be a tattoo artist. It takes a very special kind of person to not only condone but facilitate other people’s poor decision making. I am most definitely not that person. Have you SEEN 99% of the tattoos people get? Yeesh. The process [...]
