if you don't miss the summer yet I got something that wants you to. I don't particularly care for the concept of either but they're executed well and poignant @ all of you lacking a little more freedom and exuberance with every passing season. of course this is assuming you have 9 minutes to spare outside of your work/school, which you don't. see what I did there? merry christmas
aw now you're depressed. or you should be. if you're not you're probably a smarmy cynic, in which case you have bigger problems that I don't care about. anyway for those of you that think borderline crappy nostalgia is gay you can pretend the latter is about danny mcbride wearing a white t-shirt chasing an armyghost and burning stuff. there, now you like it. I'll be back to post something COOL and verbose about myself soon, don't worry
HAY guys, I got bored and made a summer mixtape for you(me). Download it and think of me when ur getting drunk or taking the bus or whatever it is you do when you listen to music. It is fun and uptempo with like 20% mellowz. regular rotation stuff that makes me think of summer. single track audio available through player, and I got lazy trying to find a filehosting site for the individual tracks so you can get it from mediafire in threedifferentparts.

"On May Day, just after leaving her fiancé, 23-year-old Evelyn McHale wrote a note. 'He is much better off without me ... I wouldn't make a good wife for anybody,' ... Then she crossed it out. She went to the observation platform of the Empire State Building. Through the mist she gazed at the street, 86 floors below. Then she jumped. In her desperate determination she leaped clear of the setbacks and hit a United Nations limousine parked at the curb." -Time magazine, May 1947
Apparently this is pretty well-known, but I'm pretty historically uninformed. You can tell because it took me 64 years to blog this Anyways, re-appropriating this is kind of a dick in the face seeing as nothing could ever do the original photo justice. but then, pop art is always a dick in the face. Andy fucked with this one too. I would high five her grave if I didn't disrespect her enough already. Self deprecation and unbridled commitment had a threesome with endearing as fuck and had a crazy baby named Evelyn's Last Choice. Over half a century later some retard with a blog and tablet got inspired for real though I found out about my new girlfriend by way of a Parenthetical Girls song I'm not too crazy on, aptly titled Evelyn McHale. They're dope if you can look past the blinding indie. here's one that entirely veers off the subject of Evelyn McHale
Theophilus London - A Strangers Heart by sophiehirst i don't know how the fuck i slept on this mixtape but i'm gonna be awake all christmas i've got two days to wrap all my gifts, pack, and get ready for a week off i'm going to be broke as fuck at the end of it but ohhhhh weelllll. it's easy to be in a good mood this time of year. old friends, time off, dressin nice, givin a shit no clue about new years but i'm not worried about it weak post l8r
my shitty computer, brain and warmth have been out of commission for the past/next few days. for the most part kanye and this have been on my mind which i have got no complaints about
london's like a cross between kid cudi and dev hynes and i mean that in the best way possible. hiphop's just been consistently not shitty lately
boner !!
I drew a picture and wrote a letter to a friend yesterday to occupy myself because I am useless without the internet. basic browsing on my ipod is not cutting it. but it'll keep me busy with more productive things anyway. I'm working a 6 day week but that is just as well because i accidentally spent wastemoney again. oops~ I am excited for christmas even though that means fucking brokemas. if not for christmas and new years i'd kill myself every fall and then again in winter. I have a temp camera now but as I said earlier, no computer. so i'll have to make any use of it sometime later i guess. I'll get at you later internet. I guess i'll go draw or poop or whatever else I do when I'm not sitting in front of a screen
I think pretty soon i need to switch from shitty dollar store acrylics to real acrylics. yup, that's all i have on my mind right now. I still haven't left the house much. except to go to the castle and get drunk ha. other than that I've been pushing more filler for I don't know what reason. I never spend too much time or effort on any one thing and i can't tell if it's to make up for lost time or just a result of no attention span and/or patience. once I drop enough garbage I'll work my way into it slowly but surely. Despite having my least favorite album title maybe ever, my beautiful dark twisted fantasy has been stuck in my head a loooot and will be for I hope a while. it was worth the wait.
which has been on my radar for a while, had a scheduled show in victoria this month which got cut from their tour, unless I just imagined it on their itinerary. And that blows because I would've gotten out of the house and enjoyed myself and also I haven't been to a show in town for well over a year. suck.
I've got nothing else to poop today. enjoy the shitty weather.
I have an easel now and new paintttt. things to come! And hopefully I'll eventually come in possession of a camera. alsobirthday was party. and by that I mean good. no complaints on 21 so far
anyway life's a gong show so I haven't done anything productive since last post. like at all. long ass shifts, 6 day weeks for the past 3. probably spent the difference of profit on beer and unnecessary items in the time I'm not working. kiiind of a bummer. Feels necessary after hard work sometimes though? whatever o well, long weekend in 4 days. gonna be packed and not shitty. Back to my old schedule soon and I'm looking forward to doing some more with spare time. for reeeaall need to do more of that. human relationships cause grief, doing things for yourself is always rewarding. need to keep in mind anyway, gonna go shower, eat, drink a brew, sleep and get up at 830 again. yawn
sometimes I have absolutely no train of thought when I draw
It's thursday! And I guess I'm going to make this quick because I need to leave for work in ten minutes. I really wish I wasn't working another Saturday because I have two of my favorite people coming to see me. Shrug. It's been a pretty okay week. and the weekend will be great regardless.
I've been keeping busy lately but today I've got nothing.
for the first time in a couple years I have an internet connection that isn't just via a neighbours half ass unsecure wifi network. soooo good. I'll leave the house a lot less now but probably do more reading and making.
New place is going smoothly. A bit of a walk from downtown but it's worth it. Still only have my computer, xbox, tv, and some clothes unpacked but apparently that's all I need. next few weeks I'm working 6 days, which I don't mind because I'm paying real rent plus internet plus laundry plus hydro again. Doesn't add up to a hell of a lot actually but I'm not going to complain about spare dollars.
Been overthinking waaaay too much in the past, well, ever. Nothing worthwhile either.I guess i've never been good with downtime. I also guess nobody is, but lack of direction makes every minute I'm not socializing or at work downtime. Apathy's a big bitch and it always seems to be creepin'.
