Life without a brain

A new path is forming, but it's taking it's sweet time. One man's repetitive routine can only go for so long, until a change is needed. Unfortunately there is no prospect of a vacation coming up, unless the Ms. and I can find sweet deals to NY in December. I should probably get more sleep.

Fall is here.

Twin Peaks obsession is back. I know the show takes place in Feb/March time setting, but it really feels like an autumn show to me. I watched Michael Ontkean today in SlapShot. booya

I cut back my hours at work, so I have TH, FRI, and SAT off. Shit is unreal...right? We will see how long the pocket book does on this new schedule. So far I am loving it quite a bit.

oh - so I guess everyone moves to new york. Here is a list of people I personally know who live, or have lived in New York.

Maija McLaughlin

Travis Bos
Carl Wedoff

perhaps one day I'll get a cool job in London, and Maija and I will be truly awesome forever. My birthday is coming up...man I'll be 24, and I still feel young.



Look at that; Ducks...on a lake!

it's already the end of august.

I have nothing to report.

I am tired, and upset I am home from vacation to be back in reality. I had a weird vision today that I could see the head of a white horse in my ceiling, while I was waking up from my short nap. My dreams were all work related...

Been looking into some forensic, and criminal justice schools. I feel stuck, and that I'm going nowhere. I wish someone could help me, but it's a tough feeling to get out of. I feel as if there is no advancement in my place of work, and no advancement in the music I am making. Work is a different issue, and something that could take for hours. Frankly...I feel unwanted, and that my time is running out.

I signed to someone for the first time in ages to someone the other day. I felt super rusty, and had no idea what the person was signing to me. I am stuck...

Gentlemen. When two separate evens occur simultaneously pertaining to the same object in inquiry we must always pay strict attention.

full circle

on Tuesday I found a dog wandering aimlessly outside my house. I knew it was the neighbors dog, so I went outside and rounded the little guy up. When I brought him his proper owner, I got to talking with the neighbor. I told her my dog's name, and she proceeded to fingerspell the name out. Small world...she's an ASL interpreter. She's going to hopefully hook me up with an internship (she said she would help!) sometime in the fall. Man... that could be nice.

I went back home to go get dinner with Maija. I looked in the mailbox, and there was my ASL certificate from Saint Paul College in the mail.

Nocturnal

I am done with school, and now I'm nocturnal. I see the sun rising almost every night, and it's killing me. I finally showed Scott the real "Fire Walk With Me" theme today. I had no idea Angelo Badalamenti did the music for City of Lost Children. I guess I should probably check that out.

Oh... I finished my sign language studies.

Fresh Prince of Bel-Air is indeed a great show. Maija got me the 1st season on DVD, and it's great.

I have internet at my house now. I book all day long, and maybe eat food if I remember to. Dinner has become my one meal a day kinda thing. Damn.

tomorrow is it...

Wednesday, May 13th @ 1:00pm

my very last final. Wish me luck everybody!!!!!!!

p.s. sorry for the lack of updates. I moved into a sweet pad in south minneapolis with fully functioning FAST internet. and....cable.

oops

Jurassic Bark

oh god... was recently reminded of this episode of Futurama. So sad... :(

read below, then watch the ending here




"When Fry takes Bender to a museum exhibit, he is shocked to find a fossilized dog on display, which he recognizes as his pet dog from the 20th century, Seymour. He begins a protest in front of the museum for them to give him Seymour's body back, which involves dancing to The Hustle (song) by Van Mccoy for three days, which proves successful. The professor then examines Seymour's body, and concludes that, due to his unusually rapid fossilization, a DNA sample can be made to produce a clone, and it would even be possible to recreate Seymour's personality and memory.

Fry begins to prepare for the dog and Bender becomes jealous, especially when Fry refers to Seymour as "my best friend". Just when the professor is ready to clone Seymour, Bender arrives and, becomes angry that Fry will not spend time with him. He grabs the fossil and throws it in a pit of lava, believing that destroying it will restore his friendship with Fry.

Fry is furious at Bender and extremely upset at having lost Seymour. Bender realizes how Fry could love an inferior creature and apologies for what he did. The professor explains that the fossil may not have instantly melted, as it was made of dolomite. With this in mind, Bender, claiming to be partly made from dolomite, dives into the lava and successfully recover the fossil.

The professor begins the cloning process and his computer informs him that Seymour died at the age of 15, meaning he lived for another twelve years after Fry was frozen. Fry therefore has the cloning process aborted, believing that Seymour will have moved on in his life and forgotten about him in this time".

Minnesota

Does anyone ever think that Minnesota is the ultimate reality? I've been to Mexico, and everywhere in the U.S. (almost), but there's something about Minnesota that feels like reality. This is the place I want to raise a family, make memories, make music, etc etc. I want to travel the world, and do what I can...but I feel like Minnesota is always going to have this pull of reality to it. It's sort of unexplainable.

Maybe the dreams I had meant something? A possible interpretation: In the dream I traveled to another world, and kept having reoccurring dreams about this alternate world. However, the goal in these dreams.... get back to Minnesota. The departing place was Minnesota, and I was always trying to find my way back to Minnesota.

Maybe I'll figure more out in these dreams as time goes on, but for now...I think that's what the dreams were boiling up to be about. I could be wrong.....

p.s. anyone else think "Ride My Pony" by Genuwine is hilarious?

I guess I could expand..

1.) I'm really enjoying the 1x a week night class I am taking. I'll be finished after this semester, and really looking forward to that.

2.) I'm buying Austin's IPOD for $100, and it's 30gigs. My old IPOD crapped out on me.

3.) I've been working 6 days a week, and I'm finally getting a huge day off today (Wednesday)

4.) I haven't been keeping up with LOST. I guess it hasn't been grabbing my attention like it once did.

5.) I've been obsessed with the show "Bones". I love the Dr.Brennan/Agent Booth team. Although... David Boreanaz doesn't make a 100% convincing F.B.I. Special Agent. You know me... I'd still prefer Agent Cooper/Agent Desmond to be with Bones. I also wish Miguel Ferrer played some role on the forensics team on this show.

6.) Donuts. Love them

7.) I beat the canker sore. Orajel is great...but really... should have gotten that peroxide. Josh (my brother) had the right idea for that.

8.) Oh yeah... Alex Winter (Bill from Bill & Ted) was in an episode of Bones.


"Jerry Horne: Sweetheart, I'd like to order two drinks. One double scotch on the rocks, and my brother would like a double scotch on the rocks.

Bartender at One-Eyed Jack's: That's two double scotch on the rocks.

Jerry Horne: Next step: rocket science!"

Canker Sores

I've had one for about a week now, and it's only diminishing slowly. Anyone got prescriptions that knock those son-of-a-bitches out? This Orajel stuff numbs the pain, but I just want it gone gone gone. Help?
