all things being equal

you wake up one morning and you've given up. whatever dream you had been holding in the air has been caught by the wind and is pulled out of your hands and away. it is terrifying and sad and yet a resolution has been reached. it has been decided. you

dismemberment plan is my god

Saturday, 26 July 2003 12:59 A GMT-04
last night I saw one of the three best shows I've ever seen: The Dismemberment Plan at Bowery Ballroom. It was one of those things where I went more for curiousity than anything else. PsychoKitty and Meg2 had been into them years ago, but I only hear

why I am an idiot

Wednesday, 23 July 2003 12:59 A GMT-04
so I was taking all this freelance work lately, which is great to supplement your income with but does cut down on your free time. since I'd been doing all this work and since my weekend -- with the Siren Festival and shows and whatnot -- was more w

here's a funny story: at siren I run into this boy I've had an on-again, off-again crush on for the last year. now even though I go out pretty regularly, I'm not a big scenester -- I only really know a few people when I go out; it just happens that

Psychokitty sent me an Onion article - "Unemployed Man Getting Really Good at Unemployment" - and suddenly it was the summer of 2001 again and I was biking through McCarren Park and all was right with the world.

form of... escapism!

Monday, 14 July 2003 12:59 A GMT-04
last night my friend and I went to yet another one of those 80s/indie/newwave/pop nights at Rare (nee The Cooler. and is it any better for the name change?). I hadn't been there for years -- since my now-embarrassing ska days -- and the change in the

now entering new york

Tuesday, 8 July 2003 12:59 A GMT-04

it is five minutes before the 4th of July, a holiday I have generally despised or looked at with sheer indifference. like most american holidays, the premise of the modern Independence Day is that everyone is having fun. the entire country is at a be
