"Why dont you just grow up?"

"For our generation, a refusal to grow up is a sign of maturity."

Temple's Publications Board is giving me $250 for a reason I forget why.

HEY!?! if you have writing and/or art you want published send it to submissions@threepm.net

I really wish someone would take the chance and let me work as a carpenter for them. I think I could do good if someone trained me a little bit.

Later this summer I drive to New Orleans. I hear it's like America's version of Europe. And not for goddamn Mardi Gras either, moreso for the Jazz. Yeah man, Jazz is good, much better than breasts and beads.

Funny documentary - they went over to Taiwan and showed the women who make 10 cents an hour working 14 hours a day to provide food for their families what is exactly done in America with the beads that constistute their life's work.

I decided I should be a superhero, and wear superhero outfits from now on. The coolest part of the superhero gig is that I wont really have any superpowers, just a long list of superweaknesses.

And you better believe I'll be printing T-shirts in my studio. Or don't, whatever pleases you.

there's a webring called i've got the hots for awkward boys, which is totally untrue because no one's got the hots for awkward boys in actuality, most people are discomforted and paranoiacally afraid of silence and merely dig those awkward kids in theory. but whatever, xanga is so not cool anymore anyways. all the coolest kids have one of each. a xanga, livejournal, blogspot, myspace, ebamjoobamabib, and yet, nobody actually keeps a real journal.

Egon Schiele has some incredible landscapes, and I went out driving toting my new philosophy of "when you're not looking for anything, you'll be amazed at what you find" and found at least four or five beautiful sceneries in and around jenkintown. at one such place was this amazing rock formation, which for some reason inspired me to climb this one rock all spur of the moment-like. about 20 ft. up this rock I realized I had no propensity for climbing and that I was afraid of heights. After I realized that, I found it much harder to get a sturdy enough foothold on anything, and looking down realized I would die if I slipped, and was stuck for about 10 min. on this thing thinking "wow, I am really dumb". but obviously I'm not dead. hooray?

THe Shins make music I like.
