this track is called “danny calahan” and is off the forthcoming self-titled album by conor oberst.

so my sister just sent me this ecard
hilarious
so recently nic posted her “wordle” and then i asked myself what the hell is wordle and then i walked down and bought a sandwich but when i came back home i googled “wordle” and found out that “wordle” is a site on the world wide aol internet.
so here’s what comes up for my blog when processed through the lower intestine of wordle.net
oh and yesisaworld only posted one so i thought i would post THREE b/c she gets to live in NYC while i’m stuck in socal and that sorta makes us even.
apparently wordle scans through whatever URL you provide and then runs some algorithm and generates a text cloud based on the aforementioned site’s word useage. i’m assuming that the larger the font the more prominent the occurrence of said word. however, if that’s true then i’ve used the word “phyllis” way way way too much.
UPDATE: ok so i just searched for the word “phyllis” on my blog and remembered that i posted this and it had 3 comments from interweb-bigshots and perhaps that explains the phyllis-action.
remember that one time when i forgot that you have to renew your domain name or else the internet_jesus turns off your blog?
that blew.
luckily, onelonelysuccess.com is safely registered for another year of posts about buster and replete with words from the list.
so last night, the prettygirl and i were sitting around the computer and i wanted to brag about my website and how popular i am in canada.
dutifully, i typed in onelonelysuccess.com and was greeted with a “this site is no longer available b/c some jackass didnt pay“.
looking up to me with concern, the prettygirl replied under her breath, “…fail?”
i was so proud of her for dropping some ‘net slang that i could have cared less about my blog.
each one teach one, yo.
stumbleupon sent me to this image and i just had to share. click the image below for full-sized-fun.
you’re welcome.
long before bill maher, lewis black or jon stewart there was george carlin.
he was the first person who i heard say that ‘bad words’ are just words.
he was the first person that i ever heard question if there was a god.
he was the first person i ever heard tear apart religion with logic.
he was the first person who made me think ‘what if everything i’ve been told is a lie’.
here’s a tribute that i found that i think george would really dig:
thank you, george.
this is a photo of Del Martin, 87, and Phyllis Lyon, 84.
they have been a couple for the past 55 years.
today, the state of california legally recognized their marriage; they were the first same-sex-couple to be married at 5:01pm PST.
i’ve said before that the way you respond to this civil issue will be one of the defining landmarks by which history will remember you. if you think i’m being dramatic, just talk to people whose parents/grandparents didnt support the civil rights movement of the 1960s.
congratulations Del & Phyllis.
this is for a girl who needs to hear this track…
you’re welcome
so while i’ve heard the calls of fellow bloggers for this presidential election to be free from remarks about either candidates race and/or age, i cant help but get this mental image whenever i watch mccain struggle through his party’s teleprompter-lies.
agree or disagree?
so the trailer for the bill maher/larry charles documentary “religulous” is up and it may be the greatest thing i’ve ever seen.
literally counting the days.
so this weekend i hung out with the pretty girls at the world-famous rose bowl flea market.
i came home with a ridiculous red-neck-inspired sunburn and an awesome patio-umbrella complete with onboard digital-goodness.
the iphone’s camera caputred some of the fun.
also, where the hell did i put the aloe?
so i’ve never been a fan of PDA (public displays of affection) but if we—as a society—are going to agree that it’s cool for a couple to make out at a baseball game, park, movie theatre, etc, then we must agree that said PDAs cannot exclude lesbian/gay couples.
this post is in reference to the nonsense that transpired in Seattle’s Safeco Field during a Mariner’s game.
You can read the full story here and look at a super-serious-looking photo of the woman involved here:
apparently a couple of chicks were kissing it up and some under-sexed-soccer-mom got nervous that her kids would turn gay (or worse yet atheist!) if they saw two girls kissing.
mom-of-the-year proceeded to throw a big-fat-hetero-fit and had the all-vagina-couple reprimanded by the kid making minimum wage as an usher.
total nonsense.
frankly if i were god for a day, i would ONLY allow lesbians to kiss in public.
of course this wouldnt settle anything, but i would be god for a day and god can do whatever the fuck he wants!
so the problems with twitter over the past 3 weeks have been rough.
tonight after the latest network outage, i found this message on my twitter profile page.
needless to say, i havent screwed around with my phone settings for months, but was wondering why my friends that i follow on my iPhone were suddenly so quiet.
if you’ve been missing your nearly hourly dose of ME then check to make sure that your phone settings are still groovy with twitter. (i’m looking at you @supertiff, @yesisaworld, @lcarter97, @st0ney, @gst0ne and @irinaslutsky)
so random-playlist-shuffle-mode on iTunes has been picking out some cool music for me tonight. in the past, i’ve had a notoriously love/hate relationship with the shuffle button; tonight all is forgiven.
busterthedog is peeling around the apartment intent on giving his squeaky-tennisball hell. i fear the squeaker may not survive the night.
outside the june gloom is threatening to make good on its promise to break up with springtime and shower us with rain.
tonight’s a random night, so here are some random photos from Madison to go with it.
ok so i was updating my facebook junk and the advertisement in the left column was the following:
now, i’ve met a fair share of “christian singles” in my time but NONE of them looked like her.
were there to be more “christian singles” that looked like this, then i might consider converting…or at least pretend to convert…or at least been willing to celebrate easter.
so was i always swimming in the wrong ‘christian singles’ dating pool or is this ridiculous?
so i finally got back from my week long trip to madison, wisconsin.
it’s taken nearly 24hours, but i’m finally unpacked and most of my laundry is done. in retrospect, i should have made use of the hilton’s laundry services b/c a weeks worth of dirty clothes does not make for a nice smelling suitcase.
also, busterthedog has finally realized that i am back home for good and is once again his playful, well-adjusted-self. (it was touch-and-go for a while though)
to welcome me back to campus, my department asked me to give two lectures in the neuroscience course today. being the meticulous planner that i am, i waited until yesterday to finish up 45 slides on the hippocampus, the papez circuit, long-term potentiation, etc. yeah…so that made for a long night last night. my poor planning, however, was not my fault…it was actually sam and farnaz’s fault for dragging me out to one too many “events” while i was away in Madison.
the good news of the day is that the lectures went smashingly well and everyone was giving me high-fives and ass-slaps afterwards. the high fives were cool, but if one more med school professor slaps my ass i’m going to start feeling weird about it.
i’ve also got about 60 photos from downtown Madison that I’m editing with the help of various adobe photoshop products. here are a few to tease you with until i finish with the rest.
so did you guys catch last night’s ‘daily show’?
the guest was former bush-whitehouse-troll scott McClellan. before McClellan came out the real hilarity ensued when Fred Schneider from the B52’s gave his interpretation of how the audio version of scotty’s book should have sounded.
if you need me, i’ll be busy listening to old b52’s tracks the rest of the evening.
today i find myself in Madison, WI attending the 2008 Conference of the Psychoneuroimmunology Research Society (PNIRS). i’ve been in Madison for roughly 36hrs and—so far—the state’s capitol has been pretty cool.
my hotel is located right up against the Menona Lake and the $20 per night I spent on the lake-view-upgrade was totally worth it. (here’s a photo from my hotel room)
last night as i was walking around downtown Madison, i kept noticing that WI license plates all said “america’s disneyland“.
“what the fuck?” i thought, “…that’s pretty damn arrogant considering that disneyland is the happiest place on earth and all.”
today as i passed the cars parked alongside State St i realized that the plates actually said “america’s DAIRYland” which makes a whole lot more sense…you know b/c of all the cows.
so guess what today is? watch this video with the sound turned UP and hang out until at least the 1minute mark, where it really kicks in.
you can call me dr. onelonelysuccess.
Ph.D FTW!!!!
“…when the smoke came out our mouths on all those hooded sweatshirt walks, we were a stroke of luck. we were a goldmine and they gutted us.” -Bright Eyes “Gold Mine Gutted”
so when i was only barely holding my self together, i had a friend who could do a once-around-the-room and change the fortunes of everyone in attendance.
she was brilliant; hers is a life bordering charm and innocence.
she was a goldmine and they gutted her.
