| Do Not Miss This!!If you are any kind of phunky phresh artist writer or thinker, you need to get in on Puhnk + Miscellany. There's no mystery surrounding it, it's just a new magazine that needs content and readers. Puhnk and Miscellany will be pushing (or punching) the envelope when it comes to culture or entertainment. We will closely examine popularly accepted language, depiction, merchandise, storylines and more, in order to discover . . . anything really. How will Bush be remembered and is it really his fault? How does Obama's presidency change racial perception (as evident in films or tv) or has the view of the presidency changed and race remains the same? How do soap operas define or confine women to contradicting stereotypes? And what does any of it say about American masses in general? Enquiring minds want to know! And you can tell them just by doing what you do. Be raw or graphic even marginal, but at least think and react, then share it with us! Check out Puhnk + Miscellany on Facebook or the World Wide Web @ http://www.puhnkandmiscellany.com Submit now and submit often. Deadline is April 4, 2009. | | |
| A Free ThingFree stuff is great. Take advantage. It's free until October 15th. It feels revolutionary to me. Free Stuff.
A Season for the Dead
BTW I make no endorsement on the quality of this book. I have yet to read it or anything by this author. . . But again, it's free. | | |
| So It's Not TennesseeLast night I remembered I was suppose to blog some while I was visiting my brother in Tennessee. So, it's about 10 days too late. But I'm pretty sure this is better.
I just finished watching The Bucket List. Yeah, a bad idea, right? I mean I cried a lot more at the end than I expected. Cause, you know, the movie is sad. Naturally, I had to think about my own bucket list. Thing is, I've already written one. But the problem with that one is I wrote it in high school. I remember specifically writing some lines and discussing it in first period French. I was probably about 16. One half of it is filled with romantic bullshit (stop and smell the roses), another third I have no real desire to do anymore (earn a living by minding children), and the final mathematically impossible quarter I have actually done. So my three handwritten pages of "Things I Want to do Before I Die" list is pretty useless.
So now I am thinking, "What do I want to do before I die?"
I decided that if I died suddenly tomorrow, I would be happy with the life I lead. I regret that I didn't stand up for that lady in the bank. I regret that I didn't make it to New York City before 9/11. And I would regret that I didn't get married and have a baby. But that last one is a tack on, and I think I would be pretty fine with having missed it.
But if I was going to be given a death sentence, like in The Bucket List, a certain number of months to slowly waste from cancer, or better yet fantastically know the exact date and time of my future death, what would i want to do?
The only I got is to do that celebration thing through the sun roof in a limo, then spend the rest of the night partying in Las Vegas, or Atlantic City, or any place with bright lights and slot machines.
I guess in the meantime, here's my list of things left to do (or I'm willing to do) on my "Things to do before I Die" list.
Bungee Jump
Wear no pants to a store that says "No Shoes, No Shirts, No Service"
Travel by First Class
Make up a New Language
Win the lottery (even $1)
learn to ride a horse
break a world record
follow a rainbow
go to a strip club
go on a Caribbean cruise
Visit every continent
walk on the roof of a building
Anything to add?
BTW in TN I ate the best burger and drank 7 different beers in one night, so I'd say it was pretty awesome.

| Road Trippin'Look for me in Tennessee cause that's where I'll be til Tuesday. I'm trying to think of ways to be phunky, not to mention puhnky, on this backwater bible belt college road trip but I'm not entirely succesful. I'm hoping my brother can shows a good time but I'll I can seemed to hear about is a Beni Hanna copy-cat, Dollywood, and fireworks. I hope there's some drinking, cigar smoking, and good food. . . wait a minute, that's beginning to sound like last Thanksgiving. Well I'll do some more hoping that I won't end up doing any drunken blessings again. Look for travel up dates soon . . . | | |
| A BlogI thought that's some time has passed since my supposed return to Xanga and I have yet to write a real blog. And now prolly isn't much different. I have something to say but at the same time I have nothing to say. It's like there is so much but none of it is fully formed and I'm afraid if it comes out it will stay that way- unformed and 90% bullshit. I need to just type shit out in Word documents again. Pen and paper just don't do it for me right now. And after I have tried to get all my writing into binders, a project that would be pretty simple to finish and yet I have not gotten around to it, I really don't want to have to do anything to to add to the mess. It's easier on the computer. Or in other words it is easier to be a mess on my computer but not annoy whatever random sensibilities I have.
Speaking of which, I spent most of last night and today organizing my iTunes library on my laptop. I have added something like 4 Gigs of music and made sure everything is labeled correctly and with artwork. I have also begun to synchronize it with my desktop. Yet there are many more productive activities I could be doing. The number one thing would be getting my sleep schedule somewhere closer to human. Right now is between bear and vampire. I either seem to be hibernating or staying up for over 19 hours. What that really indicates to me is my general lack of producing as of late. Partly it is due to my recent illness which I am still trying to shake off and I don't want to exert too much in fear of it returning.
The other part is my return to this liminal state. Between being freelance and being duly employed. For a good 2-3 weeks I felt pretty sure about what I was doing. Now this other opportunity has possibly opened up. If it definitely opens up then I'm in. No prob. Taking door number 2 will greatly decrease the number of open projects I have and allow me too concentrate on my passions. But in the meantime . . . what the fuck do I do? So far I have chosen avoidance but I think that will only take me as far as next Wednesday when I get bored again. I can only organize shiznit so much before I actually have to work.
I think the real key is to concentrate on my passions which will be there no matter what course happens to open up. Then I won't blow deadlines or flop big time. And I can be real person and not just playing dress-up.
But it really does hinge on getting a good and consistent sleep schedule. I guess it will be up to the Italian Job to lull me to sleep again. I don't know what it is about that movie, I like it and all, but it consistently puts me to sleep. Same with the theatrical version of LOTR: Two Towers. Maybe I'll put that in for a change of pace. Last night I tried music, my easy listening playlist, but that led to the whole iTunes reorganize. Let's see how it all goes.
That's my real motto: I don't know, let's see how it all goes tomorrow. | | |
