I should be getting to bed. I have to wake up for work in five hours. I just finished writing a recap of a very weird encounter I had this past winter. I felt compelled to write about it...
Shortly before the new year, during my last trip to new haven, I made a new friend and an encountered an old jewish man by the name of Hillel. We stood together in the freezing cold outside of a bar one morning where a friend was being interviewed to take part in an MTV real world casting call. He approached me asking what the line in front of the bar was for, I told him, and he then went on to criticize TV's concept of "reality". He then began talking about how to differentiate between fresh and stale pastries; in this case, donut holes. Nothing this crazy old man said seemed to make sense to me. I was lost in the appearance of his long white beard and golden wire-framed glasses growing out from beneath his tweed hat.
He then began to ask me if I wanted some valuable advice on life... I agreed. He proceeded to break down my name and age by numbers, using numerology and astrology as a method of deciphering it all. He told me that I'm a person of "incredible strength with a spine made of steel" as well as a bright individual and a gentle giver of nourishment (in relation to being an aquarius) with an executive personality. He then mentioned that I also seem to hide it all beneath the weight of a bushel.
In relation to music, he told me that I'm more prone to create beauty out of dissonance as opposed to conventional stylings, also mentioning that I'm one for playing my music louder. He then warned me to stay away from rap and folk music; stating that rap was devoid of any musicality and that folk music was strictly meant for the oppressed.
Once Hillel was finished, I thanked him and he quietly smiled, said "okay" and began walking away. Although most people would argue that he was just old and ridiculous, everything he said to me that morning has since resonated and I'm somewhat thankful for it. He wasn't one for making much sense of the world as he was for making sense of me.

Annoyed by the professor of anatomy who liked to tell "naughty" stories during class, a group of female students decided that the next time he started to tell one, they would all rise and leave the room in protest. The professor, however, got wind of their scheme just before class the following day, so he bided his time. Then, halfway through the lecture, he began.
"They say there is quite a shortage of prostitutes in France."
The girls looked at one another, arose and started for the door.
"Young ladies," said the professor with a broad smile, "the next plane doesn't leave till tomorrow afternoon."

[An alleged true story]
A man returned home form a business trip. He was looking forward to spending some private time with his wife. He was dismayed to find his three children sleeping in their bed. His wife explained that they had gotten scared while he was gone, so she let them sleep with her.
The next day, he explained to the children that it would be nice if everyone slept in their own beds. After a long trip, it was nice to sleep in his own bed.
After his next business trip, his family met him at the end of the security area at the airport. His four year old daughter ran up to him and said, "Daddy, this time no one slept with mommy."

Has about three vids and a link to the official movie site where you can find the schedule for the movie releases. I'm sure they'll add more to the page.
By the way: Would anybody know if and when the movie will be going onto DVD release? The only viewing I can make it to is the Santa Cruz showing on July 11th and I probably can't get my dad to drive me there just to see it. Hell, I'd drive there if I could. I'd even drive to the San Diego viewing. Its a few hours from Stockton, but I'd do it...whatever it takes for The Good Doctor...

This is my first post in this community, hope you guys enjoy!
This is my "heavy" mix. Whenever I'm having a bad day, whenever something bad happens, whenever I'm struggling with some kind of "issue" in my life, I put this in and drive for miles until I feel all consumed by the music. Try it. It works.
1) Sang Real- Dredg
2) Youth Like Tigers- Ever We Fall
3) First Breath After Coma- Explosions in the Sky
4) Get Me Naked 2: The Electric Boogaloo- Minus the Bear
5) Some Will Seek Forgiveness, Others Escape- Underoath
6) Seven Years- Saosin
7) You're Not Alone- Saosin
8) Skinny- Filter
9) 4st 7lb- Manic Street Preachers
10) Panchuca Sunrise- Minus the Bear
11) Sun- Mae
Thanks guys!

remember the painting of the bearded fellows I did for that music website? I was hoping to see it finally go up this week, coinciding with their recorded session...
the session is up there.. but not my painting.. rather, someone else's. I guess I should've looked for some written agreement as opposed to thinking the owner's good praise was a complimenting seal of approval for obtaining myself some exposure.
There's others out there though who appreciate the work I put into my material. No more freebies for the ungrateful. Lesson learned.

[July 03, 2008 @ 4:46pm] |
City: NEW HAVEN, CONNECTICUT
Meet-up Location: ACROSS THE STREET FROM THE "CHURCH"
Meet-up Time: 11AM
Protest Location: 909 WHALLEY AVE. NEW HAVEN, CT
Protest Time: 11AM
URL with more information: CTANONYMOUS.ORG or http://forums.enturbulation.org/140-usa-east-coast/new-haven-ct-19073/
Notes: MAKE SURE TO BRING ALONG AS MANY PEOPLE AS POSSIBLE. MASKS [V for Vendetta masks, available on Amazon.com] ARE SUGGESTED FOR PRIVACY. REACH OUT TO AS MANY LOCAL ORGANIZATIONS, NEWS OUTLETS AND COMMUNITIES AS POSSIBLE TO GET THE WORD OUT. TOGETHER WE CAN MAKE THIS HAPPEN SUCCESSFUL.
The church of Scientology [basically a money making scheme] has for some time now ruined lives, separated families and run many people into debt with their persistent mind games. This is not an attack on the people who have gotten sucked into their cult.. This is a protest against the so called churches ridiculous and cruel practices.

An 80-year old man was having his annual check-up and the doctor asked him how he was feeling. "I've never been better!" he boasted. "I've got an eighteen year old bride who's pregnant and having my child! What do you think about that?"
The doctor considered this for a moment, then said, "Let me tell you a story. I knew a guy who was an avid hunter. He never missed a season. But one day, he went out in a bit of a hurry, and he accidentally grabbed his umbrella instead of his gun." The doctor continued, "So he was in the woods, and suddenly a grizzly bear appeared in front of him! He raised up his umbrella, pointed it at the bear and squeezed the handle. And do you know what happened?" the doctor queried.
Dumbfounded, the old man replied, "No."
The doctor continued, "The bear dropped dead in front of him!"
"That's impossible!" exclaimed the old man. "Someone else must have shot that bear."
"That's kind of what I'm getting at," replied the doctor.

I am going bald pretty badly and I either wear a Stetson or a baseball cap. I used to wear a doo-rag/skull cap (you know that stretchy black thing). What outfits do you think they go good with? T-shirt and black pants? Suggestions please.

A kindergarten teacher was observing her classroom of children while they drew. She would occasionally walk around to see each child's artwork. As she came to one little girl who was working diligently, she asked what the drawing was.
The girl replied, "I'm drawing God."
The teacher paused and said, "But no one knows what God looks like."
Without missing a beat, or looking up from her drawing the girl replied,. . . . "They will in a minute."

A man and a woman who have never met before find themselves in the same sleeping carriage of a train. After the initial embarrassment they both go to sleep, the man on the top bunk, the woman on the lower.

In the middle of the night the man leans over, wakes the woman and says, "I'm sorry to bother you, but I'm awfully cold and I was wondering if you could possibly get me another blanket?"
The woman leans out and, with a glint in her eye, says, " I have a better idea, just for tonight, let's make pretend that we're married!"
The man says happily, "OK!" AWESOME!"
The woman says, "GOOD .... Get your own fucking blanket!!!
