Serendipity? Not exactly.

 
There’s really no way to put this lightly, so I’m just going to throw it out there.  
 
I am a Master of the Universe.  
 
Here’s a picture of me in my most natural, Christ-like pose:
 

 
I know.  This probably comes as no surprise to most of my regular readers, but for the rest of you, let [...]

Vegas.

So my cousins and my aunt are probably going to be in Vegas in early August. I've officially asked for some time off to go meet up with them, and I got a definite "maybe".
Sweet.
So I will definitely, maybe head up to Vegas early next month for some family time in [...]

No country for old hooters.

We’re at hooters for pre gonzo festivities. This is the leastattractive hooters ever. I’ve never been to hooters before. Not soimpressed.
But I’m glad they don’t have shots cause I’d fall asleep mid film.That would suck.
Jay was dancing around like a crazy man earlier, something he onlydoes when he’s excited. Flash backs of the troubador come [...]

Lazy and beautiful Sunday.

I'm watching Todd Snider videos on the big screen TV, I'm getting ready to drive out to Pasadena to see "Gonzo", I've got text messages rolling in from beautiful people across these United States, and for the first time in months, I'm having a great day.
Now if I can only get Ryan [...]

"…Shot from Peña… Oh! It’s in the back of the net!"

Sick and tired of utilizing duffel bags as makeshift goals, Ray Peña decided a proactive stance needed to be taken on solving the dilemma. With the help of an home depot employee who probably sounded like Speedy Gonzalez’ 2nd cousin, Ray went out and bought PVC piping, nets and corners pieces. Only after first assembly [...]

The Genius That Was Dr. Hunter S. Thompson

I’m very excited about the impending release of the documentary, “Gonzo”, because my respect for Thompson, his style, and his theory, borders idolatry.  Why?  Well, because the Bible wasn’t written by Jesus.  

Hunter S. Thompson is the father of Gonzo Journalism – the most significant literary movement in the past hundred years. And his message [...]

Oregon Trail

My friend Jamie asked if I could get her the original "Oregon Trail". Remember that game? You probably played it elementary school on an old Apple computer. I work with a lot of nerds, so I said I could ask around.
Me: Hey Julian, you're a nerd. Do you [...]

Customers.

"This job would be great if it weren't for all the [...] customers."
I can't deal with people screaming at me. Seriously, it's not my thing. I've got an aversion to emotional confrontation. Physical confrontation, I love. But when people get all red in the face, I just start [...]

Really? The sun? At this hour?

You know what sucks?
Good girlfriends and gay guys, sure.
But what really sucks is being awake long enough to watch the sun come up when you’re in dire straits with a draconian attendance policy. And having to work at eleven AM on a Sunday. That, my friend, is not the recipe for a good day [...]

More lunch thoughts.

I'm having a light lunch today. I haven't eaten since yesterday, and I'm not really that hungry, I think. It may just be psychological, though. I may subconsciously want to eat as little as possible so I can drink myself into a coma tonight.
I did eat a lot last night, though. Ryan [...]
