Thanks, everybody!

I got a lot of responses from folks, about the whole drum quotation thing. I’m still not 100% how I’m going to incorporate a quotation, but I still *think* I want to utilize one. It’s weird to try writing again, but I’m happy I’m trying. This poem in particular is an odd one, mostly because…

Quotation Request

I’ve already sent an email out to my drummer friends, but I guess posting my question here can’t hurt. Does anyone know of any good quotations about drumming? Preferably by a drummer? I’ve had a poem in the works for a while now, and I think one of the moves I want to make is…

Back

Got back to Chicago earlier this afternoon. Tonight, I tried to write some (read: I looked over some old poems). Got distracted by the blog, specifically – older blog entries. I ended up sifting through the past few months of my life. And god damn, this site is pretty darn impressive, if I do say…

New Look for FWA

I meant to mention this a while back. Way, way long ago, when I was still a fledgling computer nerd who barely knew his way around Flash… my friend Ron introduced me to a site called Favourite Website Awards. Over time, I started to check this site daily – and it quickly overtook Macromedia’s Site…

Sushi and a Movie

Met up with Chelsea tonight, and the two of us had dinner at Kamehachi in Oldtown (thanks Ben!). It’s been ages since I’ve had some real, genuine sushi (the food court stuff at work just doesn’t quite cut it). Tonight was very good, and very indulgent. Between the two of us, we can pack away…

My Eyeballs are, apparently, quite fantastic

Went in to get an eye exam for the first time in like 3-4 years. My prescription didn’t change all that much (surprisingly), and though I’m extremely nearsighted… the doc told me that he was pretty taken at how healthy my eyes were. The top one percentile of health was where he put it, saying…

Another Potential Bet Arises

Over the weekend, Matt was at a bachelor party and our recent Arby’s Challenge came up in conversation. During this conversation, a new bet rose up. Here’s the challenge: You have a full work day to complete this task, 9 AM – 5:00 PM. In that time, you must eat one of every item from…

Happy Birthday, Rhythm

Got invited out tonight by Justin andDave, who’re doing this dual-DJ thing ata place called Rhythm. I also got invitedout by Kristen and Brook, who were also planning on attending. My initial reaction (earlier in the week) was to decline, and stay in. I’ve been in hermit modefor a while now, and the idea of…

Errands

Woke up super early, and went clothes-shopping. Which, if you’ve seen the pictures of me here,is a rare thing. I wear like the same 5 t-shirts over and over again. But – since winter’s drawing near, I need to wear things that retain heat better than t-shirts. It’s weird, because I rarely spend money on…

Slow

Sadly, I’ve got nothing today. More study at work, and with it the same frustrations. I think I’m going to stop reading and move over to coding some… just to see if I can implement some of the theories I’ve been reading about so far. Came home tonight, and stayed in. I’m planning on getting…
