exclusive interview with a blogger who just broke up with a billionaire

Lindsay: left you some presents on the blog
me: oooooooooooo. what could they be? hey - pics! thanks!!
Lindsay: I'll be taking special requests all week seeing as I will be officially unemployed as of tomorrow afternoon
me: hmmmm. does bro read your blog?
Lindsay: i'm not really certain. i don't think so but who knows. he has mysterious super powers.
me: do you care if he does?
Lindsay: not particularly
me: ok here are some requests - a tour of your bachelorette pad, a fashion show, an update regarding the puggles, and a retrospective about why you were with bro and why you left. also, what would you do if the architect came back. also, how you really feel about the xcon
Lindsay: those are all fantastic


me: whats taking these employers to hire you, i thought you had your 2nd interview weeks ago
Lindsay: no, 2nd interview was today,1st was last tuesday. this is fast compared to my other experiences. i've interviewed with 7 people thus far.
me: whoah. whats the company?
Lindsay: promise you won't tell?
me: promise!! vikings??!? twin/tone? al franken for senate?
Lindsay: http://www.kumandgo.com
me: none in LA :(
Lindsay: big in the midwest and arkansas, which would be my territory
me: web development?
Lindsay: yep

Lindsay: are you still dating that cheerleader i met?
me: sometimes. to piss her off i call her "the cougar" even though shes close to half my age.
Lindsay: so mean. and here i thought she was really a cougar. how do you get these women?
me: if you havent figured out by now, i dont really pick them as much as they pick me
Lindsay: well yes I suppose, wouldn't that be nice. I am jealous
me: jealous of nba cheerleaders who read yr blog, email you, and then bore you on dates?
Lindsay: no silly, of not having a following of dudes that eliminate my need to exert effort in the dating arena
me: well. something tells me if thats what you wanted, you could have it pretty easily. although i woulda said the same thing about danielle and sass, theyve had zero luck for way too long

Lindsay: men are not as easy as women make them out to be. you think I could have kept the billionaire happy by cooking, cleaning and dressing up in really expensive lingerie...but no, not enough
me: all you did was dress up? there wasnt anything more?
Lindsay: ok, so I took it off too
me: ahahaha
Lindsay: like three times a day every day
me: but no sex?
Lindsay: that too, three times a day every day
me: hello. yeah, effers crazy. what more did he want from you?
Lindsay: i needed to be skinnier, prettier, nicer, smarter, etc.
me: !!!!!

Lindsay: he's clearly delusional. and i just simply gave up trying to meet the ever increasing standard.
me: how long had you known him before you started dating?
Lindsay: about a year and a half, maybe two years
me: during that time did you see him date girls better than you?
Lindsay: no, they were all umm, how do I say this, not cute at all? and they didn't have jobs.
me: does his friends have hotter gfs/wives than you?
Lindsay: no
me: then who was he comparing himself and you to?
Lindsay: the movies?
me: ahahahahaha. porn movies i hope. cuz youre ten times hotter than jennifer anniston



Lindsay: unnecessary compliments! besides i was thinking he and i were more like angelina jolie and chris farley in a hypothetical movie never made
me: aaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhahahah. hopefully you laughed a lot in your time together
Lindsay: it wasn't all bad, just mostly the last 6 months
me: please tell me you kept the lingerie
Lindsay: closets full of it!
me: hmmmm what on earth do i want for christmas. I KNOW!
Lindsay: well good thing i will have all of this spare time to go to the gym. i hear danity kane is looking for a new member
me: you dont wanna learn those dance moves. the group to be in is the one with ryan starr

Lindsay: hahaha awesome. i'll have to come up with an amazing hollywood name first
me: the only reason i wanna come out with a new blook, is to reintroduce the name i gave my last gf, Shhhhhh
Lindsay: that seems like an excellent reason. and the name is....?
me: i just told you!
Lindsay: shhhh?
me: yes, isnt it great?
Lindsay: and how does one get a name like that?
me: be a very shy really cute and pretty much angelic.
Lindsay: it is all coming together now

me: what other good things did you get from the divorce?
Lindsay: the dog, free sex if I want it
me: you had the dog before! and the sex!
Lindsay: soo, yes, pretty much nothing has come of the divorce. i need a new lawyer
me: well you got freedom. i was very nervous you were going to be married, and an unhappy bride at that
Lindsay: i was nervous about that too. i had to talk him out of proposing three times
luckily his parents hated me, so that put an end to marriage talk towards the end



me: why on earth did they hate you?
Lindsay: oh! this is funny. i can't believe ive never written about it. mostly, they hated me because i was too independent, had too many opinions, cared too much about my career and education, and was not subservient enough.
me: wtf with this family!
Lindsay: they should all be committed or at least subjected to therapy
me: everyone wanted you to just Obey chris farley? insanity
Lindsay: pretty much
me: did his mom just obey his dad?
Lindsay: yep, the woman barely ever said a word.
me: wow
Lindsay: they still live in 1955
me: the best thing about that year, angus young was born

me: ok so why did you even stay with him for more than a month? it sounded horrible
Lindsay: well it wasnt always so bad. he is the nicest person on the planet most of the time. but he is just so screwed up from his family life. but he always expected something for being nice
me: he figured if he was being nice then he could demand that you be his little bitch/ho?
Lindsay: pretty much
me: did he really think that would satisfy him in life?
Lindsay: deep down, i don't know. but his family tried to convince him that being able to control his wife would make him happy
me: he should get some mailorder russian girl who wants a green card or something, or would the fam look down on that too?
Lindsay: no foreigners allowed
me: well... theres girls for him out there
Lindsay: his last two girlfriends fit the bill perfectly
me: did he get bored ?
Lindsay: yep!
me: then hes a dumbass. he knows the formulae doesnt work, he has the hottest girl in america underneath him and he cant figure out to let it be
Lindsay: i'm not waiting around for him to resolve his internal dilemma. I prefer hottest girl in this zipcode, you never know whats out there
me: you, lindsay, are the total package. and the hottest part about you cant be worked on in the gym
Lindsay: you're too sweet, now I am blushing
me: awwww. i hope you find a smarter billionaire next time
Lindsay: i'll settle for a smart anything

me: you went to the rnc convention parties, right?
Lindsay: yep
me: any cute smart men there?
Lindsay: they were all very lame. and just stared at my boobs
me: ahahahaahahaha
Lindsay: i do best with the really laid back type. so maybe i need to visit an artists colony or something. or date a dude in a band
me: not sure about a dude in a band. do you read Sass's blog?
Lindsay: of course
me: doesnt sound like her band dudes are that laid back
Lindsay: true
me: but theyre also yuppie rnc types

Lindsay: maybe jason mraz is single, he seems laid back
me: cant say i know his work
Lindsay: oh its terrible
me: ahahahaa
Lindsay: like if john mayer and jack johnson had a baby
me: yikes. you just like him cuz hes hot
Lindsay: no, he isnt. he is just kind of quirky
me: have you heard of josh ritter?
Lindsay: nope
me: he was the nicest musician i ever met. had this private show at Virgin hq, and after he signed your cd hed hug you
Lindsay: no kidding?
me: i was all, this guy will sell 7 cds in his entire career. fortunately i know zero about music and hes turnedout to be mildly successful
Lindsay: too bad he isn't cute enough
me: but quirky!
Lindsay: true, i'll put him on my list alongside my pro hockey player

me: oh i know who you want. btw - the cougar in her natural environment
Lindsay: who do I want? oh she is really pretty. she has a very friendly smile. wait, is that against the t-wolves?
me: yep. last year. ok im searching, i cant remember his name. hippie dude
Lindsay: hmmm, i dated a hippie once
me: how did it go?
Lindsay: ok not great
me: yr new man



Lindsay: hmmm this could work
me: "some songs i cant sing, i draw". just broke up with natalie portman in sept
Lindsay: thats why he looks familar. natalie portman is pretty much my idol, so that would be hard to live up to
im sure hed appreciate being with a woman after effing around with a little girl
Lindsay: possibly, unless he is into little girls
if hes really a hippie he was just going with the flow
Lindsay: regardless, i will begin stalking him
me: ahahah perfect!
Lindsay: new blog topic! i will write him letters
dont forget to include pics!
Lindsay: pics for sure. i better get to bed, i have to go into work tomorrow to take down all of my audrey hepburn posters
me: ahahaha

LAist interviews the dude from the Submarines, and he effs up the title of AC/DC record that allegedly helped change his musical life



What made you pick up an instrument?

I think for me it was Hard Day’s Night. I saw that movie when I was a little kid and thought, “Ok, that’s what I want to do.” Growing up my dad played guitar and my mother’s brother was a long haired hippy guitarist, who I thought was really cool. Then I discovered KISS and I thought that that no one could be as good as them. I swore that I would only listen to their records.

Your poor parents, when did the KISS phase wear off?

I’m not sure. I grew up in Dubai and at the time you could buy cassettes for like buck. I would walk around with like ten dollars and be able to buy all this music. But I bought a lot of them based on the album artwork. I remember seeing the album cover for There Will Be Blood by ACDC. That album has a guitarist stabbing himself with the guitar. I think that’s the moment KISS became less important. Also around that time my good friend moved to Dubai and his brother introduced me to punk rock, specifically the Sex Pistols and the Specials. That guy changed my life.
the album is not called "there will be blood" as you can see, but fortunately the iPhone commercials will still help the submarines sell records mp3s. as you might recall when the subs came out in 2006 i was madly in love with them. still sorta am.

read the whole LAist vs dude from submarines interview here

update: a pleasant gchat friend reminds me of this scene in Empire Records

 
pssst: i have a sorta secret blog, based on my google reader?



its my Google Shared Items Blog or my GSIlog if youre nasty

i also have a Twitter Feed thats kinda outta control great right now, if i do say so myself. it sucks in everything from the busblog, my flickr uploads, my facebook updates, my gchat status updates, my Digg crap, everything and links to it automatically to Twitter via Friend Feed.

ah automation and robots, god love ya.

anyways if you knew of my secret blawwwg youd have seen these hot pix of raymster already
 
you know who else has a birthday today? britney, bitch. below theres some video of britney spears on good morning america today where she "performed" her two new singles


"circus"


"womanizer"

britney doesnt really dance. she struts around flipping her hair about pretending to have these magical powers where she can throw gay men around. sorta fascinating.

but instead of trying to sell us records, she should put out workout tapes cuz it wasnt that long ago where her body was not the body we're seeing in these vids. this is a woman who was eating pretty much anything she wanted. i mean, nice abs for a mother of two.

give her trainer a damn grammy.

anyways the busblog has been following brit for a while. for a very brief time i worked at a place called Artist Direct and i was there right before her first record came out and her single was single of the week even before it was released. i asked, how is that even possible, and someone made the rubbing fingers together motion and i was like oooooo.

since then the busblog saw her play at the staples center when she was 20.

celebrated her 21st bday.

didnt talk crap when she tried to gank my style.

and surprisingly enjoyed her concert last year with the M&M's at the house of blues

even though Xtina is my girl, its good to see britney being all healthy and making it all happen again.
 
exclusive interview with keira-anne on her 24th birthday!

Tony: Is it really your b-day today?
Keira-Anne: Guilty as charged. But I'd rather it not be.
Tony: Why’s that?
Keira-Anne: Just not feelin' social - at ALL.
Tony: Would you like me to interview you so I can have it on my blog later?
Keira-Anne: Like a chat interview?
Tony: It’s the only kind.
Keira-Anne: Sure. Talking with Tony makes me happy.
Tony: Awww…

Tony: Ok happy b-day Keira!
Keira-Anne: Thanks, Tony! You know, as you said that, I could hear your voice saying it.
Tony: Ha!
Keira-Anne: You have a great voice.
Tony: Awww…will you be announcing how old you are in your blog?
Keira-Anne: I don't think I'll be writing about my birthday on my blog
Tony: Why not?
Keira-Anne: I don't feel the need to. Should I feel the need to?
Tony: There’s no need, but you write every day…why not write about your b-day?
Keira-Anne: I try to, yah. But the well's running dry. Isn't it kind of conceited to write about one's birthday?
Tony: The act of blogging by definition is conceited/narcissistic, so you may as well roll with it.
Keira-Anne: Excellent point, Tony. You might be on to something with that.
Tony: Good. Stop listening to the voices in yr head telling you not to blog things. That’s my b-day advice to you.
Keira-Anne: I think that's rather sage.

Tony: So what do you want for your b-day?
Keira-Anne: Not to be called "dude."
Tony: Who calls you that?
Keira-Anne: Lots of people call me that.
Tony: I will buy you a squirt gun. Squirt people who call you that.
Keira-Anne: Is that obvious code for something?
Tony: It’s what people do to cats when they’re being bad.
Keira-Anne: I'm not much of a naughty kitty. Not tonight at least.
Tony: You’re not the naughty one, They are.
Keira-Anne: Ahhh I got where you’re going with that now.
Tony: When they call you that, say, come 'ere, what did you say?
Keira-Anne: How about a super soaker then?
Tony: Something you can slide in your purse.
Keira-Anne: Maybe you should buy me a really big handbag to go with the super soaker then.

Tony: Interesting idea. Ok so what else do you want? Keep in mind this is a magical chat interview the entire world reads this and cares for you and will probably get you what you ask.
Keira-Anne: Marc Jacobs' "Totally Turnlock - Patent Faridah" Tote in black.
Tony: Hahahaha!
Keira-Anne: And I thought that even before you informed me of your readership - i was just taking your advice.
Tony: What color?
Keira-Anne: That I should say what I want and that blogging is conceited...so why not go with the materialistic gift choice? Black! Wanna see it?

Tony: How is it that Nordstrom only has it in red?
Keira-Anne: No, they have it in black too, as you can see. But I'm sure other shops would carry it.
Tony: Ok that’s a good thing to want.
Keira-Anne: I agree. Pretty AND practical!
Tony: Hahaha how is it practical?
Keira-Anne: Because I can store a really big super soaker in it. And a variety of lip glosses.



Tony: What were you doing at your last b-day?
Keira-Anne: I went to Boneta for dinner on the Friday night - excellent food. And then on my actual birthday I had a lil' get together and drank a LOT of red wine. And you weren't here.
Tony: Wait, was that get together at Matt’s? And you had a hot dress?
Keira-Anne: Yes, yes and yes.
Tony: Wow! Time flies.
Keira-Anne: Well, my newer dress is hotter.
Tony: Newer? For your b-day?
Keira-Anne: Nah, I got it earlier this year but it's definitely newer than the green dress.
Tony: Pics!
Keira-Anne: Hmmm okay one sec… Heinous pic of me but SIDE BOOB!
I love the way that dress makes me look like I got a boob job.
Tony: Mama mia!



Tony: Ok so how has this year been?
Keira-Anne: This year has actually been really, really great. The word "happy" has come up a lot, and it's nice.
Tony: You seem surprised about that. Shouldn’t you be happy?
Keira-Anne: Definitely - everyone should be happy. It's not always easy to come by.
Tony: Should George Bush be happy?
Keira-Anne; I think he should find peace. Despite the George W. Bush we know as a political figure, he's definitely someone I’d love to sit and talk with. I see him as a puppet on a string, but he's also a husband and a dad and a son.
"I like those troll pencils...that when you go like this" (rubs hands together) "their hair goes all crazy..."
Tony: That’s how you picture our president?
Keira-Anne: No, but that was Matt's contribution to our interview.
Tony: Hahahahaha!
Keira-Anne: Completely unrelated to Georgie.



Tony: Speaking of Matt then, what’s your favorite track off the live album?
Keira-Anne: Hmmm well I haven't listened to it enough times to pick a definite favourite, but I'm a big fan of Weapon.
Tony: Ah nice. I never really loved that one until this record. I know I’m in the minority.
Keira-Anne: True, you kinda are. I was blown away the first time I saw that video - it stunned me. So then what is Tony's favourite track from the album?
Tony: I’m A Window.
Keira-Anne: You kinda are.
Tony: Cuz he says f twice.
Keira-Anne: What's f?
Tony: uck
Keira-Anne: Oh right - your mom reads this
Tony: Also my boss.
Keira-Anne: Oh right! Can I say panty?
Tony: You can say anything that would go in the newspaper.
Keira-Anne: Panty would go in the newspaper. Like on page...79. Victoria's Secret's Huge Blowout Panty Sale! I'd attend that.
Tony: I thought girls hated that word.
Keira-Anne: I love it. Funny you should say that though, because most girls I know hate it when I say "panty."
Tony: Isn’t that a word girls use from the beginning of life?
Keira-Anne: cvh xznwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwnwzU************cmv t
That was Eli. He meant to say "panty"



Tony: The lil’ pussy cat?
Keira-Anne: Mmhmm.
Tony: Damn cute thing that cat!
Keira-Anne: He's awesome. He took a Photo Booth photo for the busblog.
Tony: I have no idea what that is.
Keira-Anne: Photo Booth is a program on Mac computers that lets you take serious or silly or topless pictures of yourself with your built-in camera.
Tony: Ahhhhhhhhhh…f Macs.
Keira-Anne: f PCs. PCs don't let you insta-boob unless you buy a webcam.
Tony: With the savings of not buying a Mac, one could buy 57 webcams. One for each of my boobs.
Keira-Anne: Well, I just sent you a busblog e-mail with two Photo Booth pics. The first one offers lovely boob accentuation. If accentuation is a word.
Tony: Awwwwwwww…very sweet.
Keira-Anne: Waaaaaaaait a minute. You have 57 boobs?
Tony: Sure. I have 28 1/2 girlfriends here.
Keira-Anne: That's an odd number tho. Or you're in an Arnold Schwarzenegger sci-fi film...but I forget what it was called.
You know - the one with the chick with the three boobs.
Tony: Running man?
Keira-Anne: No...
Tony: Last Action Hero?
Keira-Anne: No the one with Sharon Stone. Total Recall.
Tony: Ahhhhhhhhhhhh…I don’t recall it.
Keira-Anne: "He’s a farking idiot. What guy from...c'mon" He means that with love.
Tony: The best part about not remembering movies is you can see ‘em again and all’s well.
Keira-Anne: I would agree with that. I LOVE to watch movies over and over again.

Tony: You should see what I saw this weekend. If Canaduh has it.
Keira-Anne: What did you see? Oh we probably have it.
Tony: Synectady New York. Charles Kaufman.
Keira-Anne: Hmmm and why should I see this?
Tony: Dude who wrote being John Malkovich. Cuz it’s crazy and wild and weird and will help you figure out direction in life.
Keira-Anne: Hmmm I guess I'll have to keep an eye out for it.
Tony: Also I think everyone should turn their Mac cameras on, gather their vinyl or CDs and do this:
Keira-Anne: Do tell.
Tony: Like This, But one must paint their face like a crazy injun. And grow a beard.



Keira-Anne: That's a long video. If a YouTube video is longer than like 2 mins, I never watch it.
Tony: So make it 2 mins. "I love Hanson.”
Keira-Anne: I watched about 45 seconds of it.
Tony: “this is their first record called We're Not Gay."
Keira-Anne: Whaaaaaat? Is that what he says?
Tony: No that’s what you’d say.
Keira-Anne: They're not gay. I bet Taylor would've...you know.
Tony: I do?
Keira-Anne: f
Tony: Dudes?
Keira-Anne: No dudes! Dude is a bad word!
Tony: Ah crap forgot. Do you know that song "Don’t call me dude"?
Keira-Anne: I would pull my super soaker out of my Marc Jacobs tote and squirt you in the face if I could right now.
Nope, I don't.
Tony: Scatterbrain. Sorta cowboy punk. Rockabillyish. But then turns metalllllll.
Keira-Anne: At first I wasn't sure what it was going to be...
Tony: 1989-1990. Best period for music since 1964.
Keira-Anne: I miss music the way it used to be.



Tony: Sigh. Ok so which Canuck twin is your favorite?
Keira-Anne: I don't follow the Canucks and I definitely don't follow the Sedin twins.
Tony: Why not?!?!
Keira-Anne: Why watch Canucks games when i can watch re-runs of Law & Order: SVU?
Tony: Get outta town!
Keira-Anne: You like it too?
Tony: No but Charles Barkley loves it. And my momma.
Keira-Anne: Your momma and I should watch it together sometime.
Tony: I would like that.
Keira-Anne: I have a huge crush on Chris Meloni... and pretty much everyone that's ever been on OZ stars on SVU at one point or another. I would like that too. I'd make her buttery stovetop popcorn. Does your momma like popcorn?
Tony: Of course!
Keira-Anne: Then popcorn she shall have!



Tony: Ok anything else you wanna say to the busblog readers on this, your 23rd b-day?
Keira-Anne: I don't knowwww...um, thanks for reading my interview if you made it this far (buy me Marc Jacobs) and I hope you keep reading the busblog because (buy me Marc Jacobs) Tony is truly a great guy who's a lot of (buy me Marc Jacobs) fun, and if you comment on his blog often, maybe drop him a bus blog e-mail and (buy me Marc Jacobs) tell him to VISIT VANCOUVER AGAIN ALREADY. Geez. Howzat?
Tony: Hahaha perfecto! Happy birthday, Keira-Anne!
Keira-Anne: Thank you, Tony.
Tony: xoxoxox
Keira-Anne: i'm smiling, k?
Tony: Kiss the kitty for me! Yay!
Keira-Anne: I will!

wanna step into the past? then join us for the last time keira-anne was interviewed on the busblog in rocktober of 2007. all photos by keira-anne except for the side boob one.

people say that music sucked in 2008. thats only cuz mtv sucked



Girl in a Coma is a three piece all girl group from Texas.

they recently toured with Tegan and Sara.

they are signed to Joan Jett's Blackheart Records. wanna know why i like Blackheart Records? cuz they dont have their heads up their youtubes. many many many record labels disable the embed codes of their precious videos. for some reason they think that weeks away from 2009 they have "control" over "their" "music". so they make people watch the videos only on the labels' youtube channel.

huge mistake cuz there are others out there who wanna put those videos on their blogs, myspaces, facebooks, xangas, ljs, tumblrs, etc and basically broadcast that song as a free commercial and say OMG OMG OMG all around it.

these labels would instead pay $$$$ for advertisements in places where no one cares instead of allowing actual fans and real music lovers help pollinate the eyes and ears of fellow music lovers.

Blackheart Records has seen the light, their YouTube Channel lets you hear the music, discover new stuff and then embed the code of those vids on blogs like this one.

someone clearly does love rock n roll.

around the web in 60 seconds

- first you should vote for our girl Sass (pictured) for best new blog in Canada. she made it to the second round and deserves to win. you know she does.

- theres an insane drug war happening in mexico. murders, decapitations, kidnappings - you name it. since january of 2007 there have been 6,285 people killed in mexico over drugs. today the LA Times launches an amazing interactive section called Mexico Under Siege. the "cool kids" here have put together an interactive map, a multimedia gallery, and questions and answers presented in video like youve never seen before. i highly recommend that you all click one of the links to see the hard work and insightful information representing a beautiful blend of traditional and modern journalism presented online.

- LAist has a fascinating collection of videos people made as they heard the sonic booms yesterday

- Change.gov has changed the copyright of their website. it is now has the freest Creative Commons license out there, Lawrence Lessig tells us in his blog.

this weekend there were many blogging and blog-related stories in the news

- Reuters had a story about blogging and Twittering the Mumbai attacks on Thursday

- AP has a similar story, posted today that includes Flickr and leads to this Flickr gallery

- The anonymous blogger named Tanta (aka Doris Dungey) died yesterday and got a nice obit in the New York Times

- In order to help maintain free speech and China and Taiwan get closer, politically, Taiwanese bloggers have united to form the Taiwan Bloggers Association in the wake of some bloggers being arrested for waving Tibetan flags during a visit of a Chinese envoy

- Because Seth Godin can't get his blog in the Technorati Top 10 he suggest that this must mean we are experiencing the "death of the personal blog". Poor guy.

- The Brian Williams Tie Report Archive got a nice write-up in AP, a first for a celebrity tie blog. no word yet what Glenn Greenwald thinks of the blog.
 
my truest and i went to see synecdoche, new york at manns chinese



it was pretty awesome. made you think made you laugh made you uncomfortable.

perfect movie.

i kept thinking, ok its not a perfect movie, but whenever i tried to figure out what could be improved i couldnt come up with an answer.

often charlie kaufman is just so narcissistic its intolerable. but here, even though its clearly about him and at one point, just like in john malkovich there are several hims on the screen, its ok this time, just like it was that time.

infact everythings ok. but mostly the fact that youre confused a lot and that youre definately in his world. which is where you wanna be when youre in a movie. anywhere but where you are: hollywood, manhattan, the midwest, holland. anywhere else. thats why you pay the money - to escape.

we were nervous that we'd be the only ones in the theatre but nope, there were about 20-30 people in there. none of them were laughing except me and her a little. in fact the dude behind us was sleeping.

after we were sorta blown away and talking about it cuz it makes you think about some pretty deep things about your life if youre about those sorts of things and she and i are definately about those sorts of things.



things like, are we doing the things in life that we're supposed to be doing. are you making art or are you just someones stand in? are you with the person that speaks to your heart or are you just with the hot blonde who happens to be starring in your musical? is something burning or are you on fire in a good way? are you letting the audience in or are you keeping them out for no good reason? are you stretching as a person are you leading by example are you letting the characters in your life breathe?

my truest and i were supposed to watch football on sunday but she bailed on me. i said its ok we had a pretty emotional day on saturday what with that movie and she said yeah and said but im not blowing you off. i said i know we have some big things to think about. and she said yeah.

and her phone connection was really bad, just like in a perfect movie slash dream.
 
my agent told me shed gotten an offer for a new busblog blook.



and i said i dont wanna make some new book and she said it doesnt have to be a new book, just a compilation of some old stuff and some new stuff and i would personally wheelbarrow the money to you.

and this weekend i looked back through the busblog to see what wasnt in Blook, or How to Blog or Stiff and maybe raymi likes looking back through the past, but i sure as hell dont cuz all i ever see is


i used to take the best pictures


i used to date the hottest girls


i used to own the best wholesale tea stores


i used to see beauty in everything


i even used to have hair


nowadays im so not fun. everythings work work work. everythings beating the joneses. everything is stronger faster harder. i buy books i dont read. i get numbers i dont call. hell i even have video games i dont play.

i have a buspass i dont use. i have a closet fulla clothes i dont wear. i have food i dont eat. i have a life ive yet to rock.


there are girls i used to kiss who dont even wanna friend me on facebook.


there are channels i havent seen on tv. there are magazines i havent read. there are dozens of pages in todays newspaper i havent read. there are people i havent called. there are letters i havent written and theres this blog that doesnt have enough fruit over years and years to make a blook

do you know how that makes me feel?



so freakin relieved.

the other super important birthday of the day belongs to ms flagrant disregard



for many years flagrant has been a favorite blogger of mine. mostly because i dont always know what the heck shes writing about and also cuz shes never boring.

sometimes i worry about her, sometimes i pray for her, but im always happy whenever i see something new from her.

and i was thrilled when she sent me this hilarious video.

much love splinky!
 
today is danielle's birthday. shes 24.



there was a time at the xbi when i looked around and i thought to myself thats it, this place is going to be the death of me.

danielle showed up the very next day, claimed to love bukowski, recreational drugs, and going commando whenever possible aka always. turned out she was just keeping it real.

since she has moved to san dieger the stock market has crashed several times, the real estate market sunk, theres been massive fires everywhere, not to mention the hurricanes in the gulf states.

life has been out of balance, koyaanisqatsi.

there are several amazingly perfect young women sprinkled around the blogosphere who are smart sexy and totally down but the men in their lives are jackholes.

danielle keeps it amazingly real on her blog which i love.

danielle at farmers market + danielle gets stung by a bee + best pic i ever took of her
