also fitting in this archives redux is that I mention how much Canada loves me…and tonight is the closing ceremonies of the Olympic games in CANADA! Spooooky!

~woooooooo~

ok whatever, it’s a good archive post:

Stonebraker: i’m watching bill maher

Me: cool he’s awesome

Stonebraker: eh…he’s hit or miss for me

Me: you just like be unenthusiastic about anything i like

Stonebraker: no I’m just not a zealot

Me: of anything?

Stonebraker: of things you like

Me: haha

Stonebraker: cuz your a huge fanboy

Me: yeah here’s how our conversations go:
Me: dude xxxx is so rad! i love it!
Me: stone: yeah it’s good….well its not really that good…in fact it’s dumb

Stonebraker: ok here’s how it really goes…
Stonebraker: let’s say that product xxxx is all over the tech sites
Stonebraker: YOU: dude did you see xxxx its the best thing that has ever been or ever will be
Stonebraker: then, a day or so later xxxxx is discredited and i’m like: I told you so…heh

Me: i don’t care what you say, i’m not going to apologize for having passion…its part of my charm
Me: its why i’m adored by literally dozens of canadians

“it’s officially fall”

because I’m stuck in a pessimistic rut, i read this as “it’s officially FAIL“

i like his original version much better.

@st0ney passed this along to me…this photo speaks volumes about the divide in the olympic host country of china.

also, you’re probably feeling shitty about missing the party b/c you had a final exam or an appointment with your gynecologist.

here’s more 10megapixel fun:

while stonebraker was chopping our lettuce he was also chopping off his fucking-thumb which is increasingly funny when you find out that he’s a surgeon. HA! workman’s comp FTW!

after dinner brooke and julie sat around and told each other stories and we all listened b/c they are girls and girls can do whatever they want at parties.

at some point the night turned to guitar hero b/c that’s what happens when adults get together and drink wine.

dude…we played guitar hero on a 120″ screen. let me tell you now…you havent played GH until you’ve rawked it on a 120″ of goodness. it will blow your fucking mind.

ok so here are some more pictures of people at the party including me and my sexy-yet-stylish blue-striped-shirt. that’s right ladies…blue AND striped.

oh and this dude was brooke’s bfriend and even though i cant remember his name he was all about posing for pictures while he played GH so that earns him a spot on the blog…also bonus party points for intensity.

up high—on the side—down low—too slow

also, if you use internet explorer it doesnt matter if you like panic b/c anything rad that i try to post on my blog seems to break IE. so apparently the coolness test consists of 2 things…

so lately, i’ve become addicted to micro-blogging the events of my life on twitter. i’ve realized that in doing so, i’ve literally constructed an outline for numerous daily blog posts. this is good news for you.

tomorrow stonebraker is flying into SoCal and i’m going to pick him up b/c that’s what good friends fucking do. he’s going to be busy with all of his top-secret-business so we might only have time for 1-15 drinks on friday afternoon. i told him that the best way to conduct his top-secret-business is to be drooling-drunk.

i’ve been listening to “pretty.odd.” on a non-stop basis and i even learned the chords to “we’re so starving” so that i could entertain buster with my guitar/vocal stylings. the louder i sing and the more i make the song about him the more he goes crazy. i’m not quite sure if he LOVES it or if it’s the equivalent to puppy water-boarding.

so today i was reading some random blog whose name escapes me and they mentioned “muskrat love” by captain & tenille. consequently, i’ve had that fuck song stuck in my head all day. also, when i was in 4th grade i had a huge crush on a girl named tenille but she was in love with the cool kid from school whose dad was a big shot doctor. last i heard that kid was all strung out on meth. so in addition to having a shitty song in my head, i’ve been feeling bad about turning out “better” than the cool kid in 4th grade.

somehow i never posted any of the photos…so consider this a flickr spring cleaning.

so i’ve been reading/listening to one report after another talking about obama’s relationship w/ his “pastor” jeremy wright and mccain’s relationships w/ falwell and robertson and i wish that:

1.) politicians didnt feel obligated to seek out support from “men of faith”

2.) americans didnt care if their presidential nominees “go to church” or “pray to jesus”

i was talking to stonebraker about this over IM while listening to “countdown w/ keith olberman” and it went like this:

Me: i hate pastors

Stonebraker: why?

Me: b/c they have way too much influence on american society/culture

Stonebraker: whatever! Rev Lovejoy FTW!

i do, however, have 3 search results for “danny boy”…one’s an instrumental version by clapton, one’s by johnny cash (not as cool as it sounds) and some track by rufus wainwright. again, this blows.

i had this conversation w/ stonebraker earlier today:

onelonelysuccess: are u wearing green?

stonebraker: no, I’m a brit

onelonelysuccess: oh…ok

stonebraker: I decided today that I don’t give a fuck about St. Patricks day

onelonelysuccess: really? but it’s a drinking holiday! if you like to drink then it’s your holiday too

stonebraker: yeah I know but I can drink everyday

onelonelysuccess: yeah but EVERYONE is drinking TODAY and that makes it special

stonebraker:I guess I’m a SPD scrooge

onelonelysuccess: yeah this reminds me of you on vday
onelonelysuccess: and halloween
onelonelysuccess: and new years
onelonelysuccess: and cinco de mayo
onelonelysuccess: and fourth of july
onelonelysuccess: so what holidays DO you like?

stonebraker: christmas

onelonelysuccess: yeah, baby jesus rawks

stonebraker: I don’t like show off holidays
stonebraker: like halloween

onelonelysuccess: that’s b/c you’re off-putting

stonebraker: people are all “but we can get together are party”
stonebraker: if you need a reason to party your life sucks IMO

onelonelysuccess: damn
onelonelysuccess: then my life sucks

ten minutes later, stonebraker was headed to the irish pub to celebrate…or so he says.

it lasts 1min and 14secs and is the greatest video i have ever seen. (it’s even better than that obama ‘yes we can’ video).

so what’s your favorite “bad word”?
