This is going on your PERMANENT record.

I've been looking for a job or ways to earn money. Because I have a job.  I'm looking up on Craigslist.  Also, I'm selling books on amazon.  BUY THEM!  I'm throwing a St. Patrick's party and I'm going to collect money for that so that I don't have to spend as much to make it awesome.

 I'm visiting home this weekend.
I wanna be a bartender for a little while I think.  They make pretty good tips and I liked when I worked at the coffee shop being able to just leave my whole paycheck in the bank and spend my tips.  It was great.  Then I could actually save money and travel.  Cause I got places I want to see and experience.  It's ridiculous how expensive everything is.  It's more ridiculous that the school I work for pays me about fifty cents a decade! Then they don't understand why we all slack off and don't care and hate doing anything for them.

You have to give to receive.

I just realized I forgot last weeks movie of the week.  So I will do two this time.

First its Dazed and Confused! This is one of my favorite movies! It's not particularly action packed or anything, but it's pretty comical. The guy Kevin Pickford is so hot! I could just eat him up!

I wish Martha Washington was waiting for me when I got home with a fat bowl waiting for me. Jealous of you George.

The second is Garden State.  Just a great all around movie with Zach Braff and Natalie Portman.

Song of the day is Mary Jane's Last Dance by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers!!!

Productively,
Mav

We Live in a Fake World

I was just standing on my bed pretending to do the Lion King hold baby Simba over the edge of the rock just now and I thought I'd write and tell you that I was doing it because it's absurd.  I'm currently waiting to chill with one of my friends.  I'm re-watching Conan.  Oh awesome I get to watch the horrible bomb and recover of the comedian they had tonight.  It hurts. When you watch things that are embarrassing, even if they aren't happening to you, it still feel embarrassing and you want to hide your face.  Like he gets off on this weird tangent and when he realizes its failing he just goes, "That's not even part of it, it's cool, we're having fun." And no one laughs except a couple people laughing uncomfortably.  Then he will have a good joke.  The best in the whole thing and then he just has a weird pause of silence after the audience stops laughing.  He really just needs to work on his timing and his audience reaction reactive-ness...

Good moment.

Bad, bad moment.

Oh that's better.

Yes, end on that note. Just walk off stage and let them remember you this way.

God I want mac n cheese.   Extra cheesy.  with Taco bell sauce and hot dog slices.  Fucking delicious.

George gets so caught up in the dramatic situation and does really stupid stuff.  I am ashamed of myself.  I have set a food curfew for 11 PM and I have failed at it every night.  But I think it's ok because I think I am legitimately hungry.  I haven't eaten since about 7:30 so it's ok. I forgive myself and that is the most important thing.
I've been thinking about going through all my clothes and getting rid of a whole bunch. Speaking of! my pants ripped the other day.  It's on the inner thigh but not too high up and it's not super noticeable yet so i'm just gonna not worry about it.  I don't have the money for a new pair of jeans anyway. But I do want some bell bottoms.  If I sell some more of these books.  When I go back home for Spring Break I'm gonna take whats left of the book I haven't sold on amazon and take them to 2nd & Charles.  I love that place.

I'm gonna be a shady old person.  That crazy lady that all the kids tell stories about.  I'd love to be in ghost stories haha.  At the same time I don't if I want to be scary crazy or just cool weird crazy.  Definitely the latter.

Poor Jerry.
Kramer is the best though. I miss my fishtank.  It's gurgling and bubbling added so much good chi to my room.  I need to buy more incense and candles too.  I love to mix and match scents to create amazing combinations.  Woo! I just bought some online.  They were out of my favorite (again -_-) but I bought one of each of the other flavors they have available (only three kinds) and I am super excited to receive those in about a week.  (0_0) YAY!

Song of the day is Changing by Saosin!!!
I first saw this video while sitting at the desk about two years ago.  I love songs that have moments of silence in them.  It's such an incredible build up of energy and then the explosion of sound right after.  It's beautiful. It's like a quick surprised breath.  That intake of air.

Well I guess it's about time to hit the ole dusty trail.

Soaringly,
Mav

The Dark of the Matinee is Mine

I may be going to another beautiful place soon I hope.

9) Olives
10) Being out of weed

The other day I felt like I was living a Seinfeld type life.  Like its a show about nothing.  But in being a show about nothing its a show about life.  It's funny to me when they do flashbacks.  In hindsight and taken out of context things seem so shallow and stupid but when you are living it it seems like just the thing you are supposed to do. That's how all of life is.  You just do what you can for the time being then you look back on it later and see what you would have done differently and apply it to the future if it is ever applicable.

I handed in my first art project today for class.  I am just taking the first class (2d design) for fun but we had to do 25 sketch pages and I said I'd put up some art so here are a couple:

I just watched the movie Driftwood and it was pretty much crap.  It was supposed to be a "thriller" but it was more like a juvi/mental hospital for troubled teens and there was a murder and now he haunts them to figure out his murder....I am not entirely sure.

Thar be a shipwreck down in the depths of these here parts.

Song of the day is Layla by Eric Clapton!! It's the unplugged version of the song which is a hundred times better and there is no music video.  It's just a bunch of live videos so here is the song but no actual video.  You can feel free to look those up on your own.

Hypnotic,
Mav

Holler

I don't actually have anything pertinent to say but I really wanted to upload (almost typed uplard haha) this song of the day because it is rockin' my world.

The song of the day is I Want You (She's So Heavy) by The Beatles!

It's a bit of a long one.  About 8 minutes.  But it's totally worth, perfect to chill to.  Listen.  It's amazing.

Mav

hm I am baked

I'm watching this movie Cool World.  It's go Brad Pitt in it.  It is actually quite intricate and I'm enjoying it.  I am completely sucked into this movie. Now it's Nat Geo's Life After People.  I love Nat Geo.  It's my favorite channel.  I love this show.  I don't know why, I'm curious.

How the hell does being cryogenically frozen work? And who just decides "Oh I'm gonna wait around for a different period" of in which there are still problems. There will always be problems.  You can't out wait that! This show is cool though because it gives you a since of perspective on humanity and its importance and delicacy.  Nature is the only absolute.  We talked about in my Victorian Lit class about something being an evolution and being a revolution.  And a revolution is quick (meteor) but evolution is slow (descent of man).  Speaking of the descent of man why is it called a "descent"? I don't think we are going down the evolutionary tree.  I don't think the tree has an up and down at all.  It has a start and current, but not a more adapted/ less adapted.  Because everything that exists in a certain time is perfectly adapted for just that time.  And when things change so do features and that's how it happens.  So we man be much more advanced and complicated than our amoeba ancestors but they were just as well suited for their environment as we are to ours now.  Ya dig?

I want a parrot.

Do you ever watch Married with Children?  If so, do you ever feel like Al just completely takes Peg for granted? I mean she's a milf!

Reviews are a big thing these days.  My movie of the week is Office Space!! I know it's a few days early but I'm watching it right now and I just feel the need to do it right meow.

The song of the day is WTF? by OK Go!!! I fucking love OK Go!! You may know them as the treadmill guys.

Space Cowgirl,

Kicks like a Shotgun to the Face

It's just a stay up late kind of night.  I feel as if I have been really productive.  I will soon be starting a vlog.  Where as this is pretty much just whatever the hell comes into my head the vlog will be more about what's actually going on outside and what I actually do.  I'll try to have guests whenever possible.  But that is in the making at the moment and I will let you know when that is up and running.

God you forget how heavy some movies are.  Hotel Rwanda is on right now and I had seen it before and remembered thinking it was great. Very powerful.  But my mind had conveniently forgotten all the more brutal bits and now that I am watching it again it's just like God! take a breath!

It's a good night.  Do you ever have those night where you just feel like you are exactly where you are supposed to be. Doing exactly what you should be doing.  And thinking just what you need to be thinking. Because I feel that way right now.  It's really nice.  Kind of a sigh of relief because who doesn't worry about the future? I know if I haven't worried about it (because I'm really not a worrier) then I've at least wondered about it.  I mean How much does it matter?

God it's so damn embarrassing as a white person to watch this movie.  They are so horrible. WHat would happen if they just evacuated everyone? If they just all came to America, the UK, Australia, or whatever and all the people left, what then? It's not really plausible I don't guess. This movie really sucks you in. Horrible.  when they are driving and they are going over those bodies.  Just horrific. I wonder if anyone else is watching this movie right now...

OMG!! I just went to the machine to get a drink and lately I've been drinking a lot of Mello Yello cause that's normally what they have and on this machine it said vault was one of the choices.  Now there hasn't been Vault round these parts in at least a year.  Which is devastating to me because I think I had an addiction.  Vault is pretty much just the modern version of Surge in the 90's.  So This machine says vault and right above that is Sprite.  I hate Sprite.  I drank it a lot when I was a kid because my older brother, Seth, drank it all the time and I thought he was cool so I drank it too.  But I was worried that there wouldn't be Vault but was hoping it was Mello Yello and praying it wasn't Sprite and I hit the button and out pops a beautiful Vault.  I got so excited! I ran back to my room and HAD to text my brother, Ian, who also loves the drink.  And I didn't actually expect him to reply, but he does and all he says it, "Well I'll be a son of a bitch..." For the record: It's delicious and I don't see why you took it off the shelves.
Honestly, that first drink was so good.  I felt like I was relapsing.  Ever had that first hit of something after a really long time.  I swear I think I was addicted to Vault.  I used to have it every day.  And I remember if I didn't get one I felt like I needed to have it.  Maybe that's why it's not marketable.  It's so good though.  I'll be sad if this is the last one ever.  If it's not I'll be sad when my stash runs out.  I fear how long it will be until the next awesomely addictive soda.

mmmm it's soooo good.

Song of the day is A Horse with no Name by America!  This is one of my favorite songs.

Satiated,
Mav

it's an angry mob tonight

I thought you might find it interesting that a lot of times I start my blog entry with the song of the day.  I mean I don't always.  Sometimes I'll listen to music for several hours before I pick my song.  Then it may take me several hours to post.  I don't rush myself.  That is silly.  Maybe it's not surprising, but there is the insight.

I finally gave into the new facebook.  The timeline.  Honestly, I feel like its a bit busy, but I love the picture at the top.  I picked this picture.

It's pretty nifty looking on my page.  I like that it is just black on the right.  I am a big fan of color.  I love it.  

As you can probably tell by my background I like the light photography.  It's very cool.  I actually took this picture.  It's a road in Birmingham.  

I'm watching Seinfeld on TBS.  I don't have cable so TBS is one of the few channels I actually get and I literally never change the channel, because I don't have a remote because a ceramic bowl full of water and a fish fell off a table on top of it and my remote just...hasn't ever been the same.  Anyway, shit, I don't remember what I was saying.  It was something about a commercial.  But I do know that I love Seinfeld.  It's just so funny.  

I want to make a T-shirt that says:

The HUMAN Fund

   MONEY FOR PEOPLE

Imma make it.  I'll upload a photo if it turns out. Sometimes I think little creatures get into my room and they are squeaking at me.  All I can think is "Oh damn, it's gonna breed!" But I don't want to go over there and do anything about it.  Does that speak to my laziness or my acquiescence? I like to think its the latter.

I have this urge to eat bread dough.  I love it.  It's so good. 

Song of the day is I Disappear by The Faint!

Alternate song of the day is Blister in the Sun by Violent Femmes!!

Delicately,
Mav
