Music. Film. Popular culture. Through the eyes of a budding teen writer, wasting away in suburbia.

Man, I'm so strung out.

réponse à moi.



Making mix CDs make everything better.

I'm tired. So tired.

So tired of having sex?


I'm pretty drained from a long week. My sleeping pattern is all over the place, as in I'm not sleeping much at all, and when I do.. it's at some crazy time like 5pm. I need to just take a bit of a break from all the big issues, and concentrate on the little things. Like whether I should get out of bed or not.



Special note: Totes magotes bought The Clash's greatest hits album today. Over 50 great songs, for just $9.95. Who needs limewire? $9.95 is basically stealing anyway!

Dog days aren't over

Homer Simpson: They're DOGS, and they're playing poker!


"Is it weird in here, or is it just me?" 
- Stephen Wright


C.M. Coolidge, I respect you.

Special note: Don't get attacked by dogs, in particular, bulldogs that smoke cigars and cheat at poker.

You might say I'm a dreamer.

But I'm not the only one

So here I sit, in my room, strumming my un-tuned electric guitar, quoting John Lennon on my crappy blog - but I'm happy.

Maybe it's just from listening to Wilco and Pavement, maybe because I'm dreaming away again.. but it feels right.



Nothing is as good as the original.

Pavement: They're no walkover

Man, Pavement is so good.

Ah, the early 90's. A time in music where the bleak, dull groans of grunge populated the majority of the airwaves (and a genre that  is quality in it's own right), you wouldn't think a small off-beat indie lo-fi band from Stockton, California would be given much of a go. Well, I did; and I've never looked back.

Pavement's Greatest Hits album was released last year, definite bang for your buck.



Special note: Liking the use of a gorilla suit in the video clip. Video clip gorilla suits are few and far between these days.

I'm back...

Well here we are again.

It's been a while. Several months in fact.

I guess you could say, it's my comeback of some sorts. So today, I'm paying tribute to the undisputed King of Comebacks, the one, the only, Michael Jordan.


Special note: Space Jam (1996) is my 3rd favourite basketball feature film of all-time after White Men Can't Jump (1992) and Glory Road (2006).
