Facets of the Moment

  • an amazing girlfriend whom I love very much, and miss when I'm not with her, even when I hang up the phone after talking to her for an hour.
  • some great friends who I love and appreciate, though I don't tell them that enough.
  • no job at the moment (though, not for a lack of looking).
  • very little money, but a hang-up that somehow, my worthiness in this world is attached to how much money I have.
Hang on, the phone just rang..."Hello?...Oh, Hey Paradox...Uh-huh...Listen, can I call you back later? I'm blogging right now...Cool, thanks...Bye."

Ok, where was I?...Oh, yeah...
  • the same small apartment I've had for almost 8 years.
  • an obnoxiously arrogant, loud animal of an upstairs neighbor that STARTS playing music at 1:30am, constantly slams his door when entering or leaving his apartment and stomps around his place - as well as up and down the stairs outside my apartment - as though he were taking a rhinoceros for his/her daily exercise jog.
  • a 10 year old car with 37,000 miles on it (I got it from my Uncle Ray, before he passed away - hey, that rhymes!).
  • a willingness to - believe it or not - hold my tongue in order to "keep the peace" (more often than you think).
  • a modicum of talent in music and acting (which you'll hopefully get to experience someday if you haven't already).
  • a hyper-abundance of film, music and tv trivia in my head.
  • great taste in film and music.
  • a warped sense of humor.
  • a bit of sleep depravation (possibly a form of insomnia, but I'm not sure).
  • great hair (knock-on-whatever-substance-is-handy-at-the-moment).
Overall, I think I'm a very fortunate person.

Weekly Road Trip, Volume 1

Every Tuesday, I drive down to Los Angeles from Ventura. More specifically, I head to Barney's Beanery in West Hollywood to host Trivia (9pm. Come check it out sometime!). After, I usually head to my good friend's home (that would be Pete & Cate) and enjoy a few hours hanging out with some of my very great, gracious and generous friends. The trip is 60 miles, each way. That gives me about 2 hours each Tuesday to listen to whatever music I have on my ipod. I have an 8GB so I tend to rotate music off and on it frequently. Recently, as suggested by my love, Emily, I listened to the entire ipod, alphabetized by song. That guaranteed I actually hear each song at least once. I highly recommend doing this. The only rules are: 1. No skipping any tracks 2. No repeating any tracks. It took me a few months to get through my ipod, from A to $64,000 (the last song was the theme song to the $64,000 Question). Since then, I have swapped out a lot of songs for new music. ...

Just a thought...

Originally posted: October 9, 2006 I was at a friend's place yesterday and Team America: World Police was on. We watched what was left before switching to Real Time with Bill Maher. Both were great. Today, I listen to Bush chastize North Korea for Nuclear (not 'nuke-u-ler', genius) testing. Now, I am in no way a proponent of N. Korea having and/or testing nukes, but am I the only one that finds it odd that Trey Parker and Matt Stone felt Kim Jong Il was more important when they made the movie over 2 years ago than Geroge W. Bush & Co. yesterday?

A sample of Donald Trump’s inaugural speech (NSFW):

“We are gonna have an awesome country once again. When I get through with it, you won’t believe how great it will be. I’m gonna tell China to go fuck itself, and if they don’t like it, let ‘em try to collect on the debt we owe them. I will negotiate such a deal with China that they will want to give America the reacharound it deserves. As your president, I will make sure that Congress passes only the bills I want them to pass. If they try any of that attaching their bills to other ones, I am gonna grab them by the nuts and squeeze until they scream “UNCLE”! They have no idea what they are up against. I am gonna sign so many executive actions, it’ll make their heads spin. Then I am going to sue all the haters and losers that thought I couldn’t win. We’ll take all of that money and use it to fund all of my research on how to be a president and how to do presidential stuff. Believe me…BELIEVE ME, it’s gonna be a phenomenal eight years. Yeah, I said eight, because my first executive actio...
