Here we are … in a room full of strangers

Talkin’ it up
On the Barry Gibb Talk Show

Listen to him laugh. Not cute. Sigh.This might be just as cute though. Its a toss up.

Mike and Jen just got back to Bham from a trip overseas and here are some photos.
My highlights are the bike traffic jam, all the smart nordic design and technology and snow. Sounds fun.

I need one of these.

Suburban Kids With Biblical Names - Funeral Face
Great lo-fi shit. Nuff said.

Bloke #1: I’m currently going through the lengthy process of organizing all my music folders. Its exhausting. I shouldn’t be bitching though. It is better than homework which I haven’t had much of lately. My runs down to fairhaven keep getting faster. My athlete is coming back which is good. Better sleep/mood/hunger. Dance is coming together well. Both performances are now almost completely done. I am so excited and hope people come watch me. My (shared) broken car is now fixed thankfully and now that shit is all over with. I can now exit the car through the drivers door and not climb out.
Weekend was good. I was drained all weekend, but somehow I managed to go out every night and be festive. Thursday night roomy and I stayed up till sunrise. We snorted ADD medicine and got large coffees and drove out to Birch Bay and past the refinery out at Cherry Point. It looks like Emerald City in the night and is magical. Go see it sometime. We drove around and smoked…and it was beautiful. I needed a good adventure like that. My parties this weekend looked like this. Maybe thats a lie, but they could have been. In Modern dance today I was high, haven’t done that yet, but it was orgasmic. For maybe the first 20 minutes and simply lay down on our backs, closed our eyes, focused on breathing, blah blah. It was a waaay Buddhist experience brah. I had just woken up from a nap not long before and it was a nice release and time to get down with myself.

This is a rediscovered find and its one of those places you can get stuck in forever. His videos are funny and he makes interesting commentary about um, everything. I don’t think I would feel comfortable with a camera that close to my face. And he looks like a cartoon.

Stars - Sleep Tonight (Junior Boys Remix)

Can the president set up an office in the White House to promote religion without court review or scrutiny? That is the question the U.S. Supreme Court will decide this year in Hein v. Freedom From Religion Foundation.

The Rakes - We Danced Together (Sebastian Remix)

I’m on another Overheard phase again. It comes in waves. Who actually says all this? I think a lot is exaggerated by the overhearing but nevertheless.. I love this one below.
Yuppie kid: Mommy shaves her hoo-hoo!
Yuppie dad: Okay, honey. Look, do you want your book?
Yuppie kid: I came in the bathroom this morning and asked Mommy what she was doing and she said shaving her hoo-hoo. Mommy shaves her hoo-hoo!
Yuppie dad: Dylan, remember when we discussed at-home conversations and outside conversations?
Yuppie kid: Yes.
Yuppie dad: Well, this is an at-home conversation.
Yuppie kid: Okay, daddy. [Sings to herself quietly] Mommmyyy shaves her hoo-hooo…
Black lady: See, home conversating, outside conversating — that’s bullshit. My kid says shit like that, I smack him. He won’t say shit like that again.
Yuppie dad: Okay, thank you, but I think our method works just fine.
Yuppie kid: Lady, do you shave your hoo-hoo?
Black lady: Oh, yeah, that shit is workin’ just fine. She’s all kinds of polite.
Yuppie dad: Okay, Dylan, this is our stop.

Loney, Dear - And I Won’t Cause Anything At All
This’ll be at Sasquatch. Now will I? That is the question.

Yeah, I am naked on the Internet,” says Kitty Ostapowicz, laughing. “But I’ve always said I wouldn’t ever put up anything I wouldn’t want my mother to see.” This is a super neat article that talks about us and how we are too personal in terms of our internet habits. Back in the early days of rock and roll and the older generation had its concerns about “jungle rhythms.” Old people now, and us, are all online, but the difference is the amount of personal info we give out. If you actually had a real life stalker it would be very easier for them to find you in your home and do bad things…or something along those lines. I wonder what is gonna piss me off about kids these days when I get past my prime. Is it good, bad, etc. I got the hell off Facebook because it was too personal and bordering on creepy.

Im so horny right now, shit I’d kill for a Nobel Peace Prize.
Oh speaking of which and I got laid, hehe, and it was juicy.

This makes me sad that I don’t do cool shit. No. 2 is the poo.

Man o Man O. Fourth episode of Skins came out this morning. Fucking hooked. This episode turned a little dark but of course had its hilarious moments. When he discovered his mum had taken everything and then when his dad came home and then the cubs story! Sad shit there. Good work writers! I pissed myself at the baby drop! haha. Chris dances with his teacher and has had a boner for 15 hours, Viagra induced. Sid! Your stiffie is digging into my back. Brilliant show. Fucking brilliant.

Can you sleep when I grind my teeth
Do you look away if I slob when I eat
Will you let me be myself
Can you at all times wear socks, because I’m still scared of feet
And if I’d fall, would you pick me up
And if I’d fall, would you pick me up
Do you talk in the middle of Seinfeld
Do you read more than two books a month
Do you get racist or sexist when you’ve had a few
Is it fine if I make more money than you
Hello Saferide - The Quiz

I Had Unprotected Sex with Anna Nicole and All I Got Was This Lousy Paternity Suit
This world is out of control. Seriously. This Britney Spears drama is annoying. OMG you are so troubled. Gr8 I got the point. Now can we devote a larger percentage of media coverage to more pressing issues? That would be helpful. Did you really shave your head? Did you? Thats incredible? I know huh, it is THE most shocking thing ever. I have no place in this modern world anymore.

(bang bang chu chu train get up on it and ride that thang)



I’m pissed Im not internationalling it up with the broski. Him and Jenn are away for a bit and I need a vacation so I’m jealous.
Shout out to them and hope that they have many adventures and get lost, drunk, etc. Go get ‘em!

this is often the song i rev up to before i go out
and i’ve just gotten out of the shower and i’m dancing in purple, magenta, or neon blue underwear. tmi?
well, that and the expansive amounts of drugs that course through my body.
just kidding… (?)

This caind of Musikkk is it. My boys, Lo-Fi-Fnk, are coming to Vancouver and possibly Seattle. Wow. Cannot wait. And my mom might fly with me to Palm Springs when I go to Coachella and hangout there while I do my thing. And then….and then. They are at SXSW, no fair why cant they come to Indio. Stupid Swedes.

8. Lebanon
9. Kosovo
10. Second Life
I like to catch up on what is most searched by my fellow homies around the world. I was nice to see that global warming was on the list…..but Hyundai? WTF, as if.

Begin all your sentences with “Ohh la la!”
Hype hype hype…Welcome to the next phase of your life friends. TOMORROW!
Push all the flat Lego pieces together tightly.

Occasionally bark in a high-pitched voice. Seriously try this at home folks.
Say “okay, you’re gay” to anything someone says. This one too.

This week has been so amazing so far. So fun and so pure! Name your dog “Dog.” First off, Iran cured AIDS! Yeah thats good. Also in a relatively boring week in news, I was captivated by the diaper story. Adult diapers, a long breezy coastal drive, attempt to kidnap and a love triangle between astronauts? Couldn’t be any better. What could have made this story any more extravagent? Guess! I caught Letterman randomly and his Top Ten was hilarious about her ordeal. Then I changed my major. I decided once and for all that I am not a math and science person so I downgraded myself to Environmental Studies. I think I’ll take the Natural Resources path which I think would fit better into a more policy based conservation path instead of research. I will know the science without having to use it. There. Ask people what gender they are. Over and done with.This doesn’t put me behind graduation wise, thankfully, and I could be done in about a year from now. So five years + a quarter or two. Total pat on the back.

Frat boy #1: Dude, when do you graduate?
Frat boy #2: Like, next year, man.
Frat boy #1 : How long have you been in school, man? Like, five years, right?
Frat boy #2: Anyone that leaves college in less than five years is a loser. It’s like someone who leaves the party at 10:30 — things are just getting started!

While making presentations, occasionally bob your head like a parakeet.

Speaking of dance. It was incredible today. We wrote for 1/2 the time. We wrote about what concerned us about the world around us, etc. So we did some more writing exercises, blah blah, and then we handed them in. She had us spread around the room and then would read a word or phrase from our answers and we would immediately react. She picked one of mine. Dont remember the question, but my answer was “People don’t believe in UFOs anymore.” A room full of semi-trained dancers, and me! the newcomer acting that out…oh jeez what a hoot. I think I put my hand on my head and twirled around making a high pitched squeal. They however, had stars in their hearts..

Continuously open your briefcase or bag and say into it, “Have you got enough air in there?

Nightmare with a paper today. Some saving error poped up and overwrote my ENTIRE paper. Serious not funny. I had about 2.5 hours left and half my paper was gone. I ending up running across campus to ATUS, I never run in public. Thats how serious this shit was. They saved my life. I would have sucked that nerdy ass ATUS kids pimply dick I was so happy. I think I may have ‘wooted’ while leaving. Could have been offensive to then.

Call everyone a communist. This ones for you cheeks.
Cool Beans.
Whenever someone finishes a sentence say, “And then what happened?”

One could say that the repititioin of the piano could get irritating, but I enjoy its calming effect. The last minute or so, lyrically really gets to me and I find it delightful. Its fun to shout along to. Ballad.
LCD Soundsystem - All My Friends

I chugged the last of my family sized Vicks NyQuil Cough Cherry Flavor medicine I had left over from my week of sickness and twirled around my room to this. I suggest you do the same. Feel free to substitute substances or just on straight life juice!
Brooklyn Express - Sixty Nine

Cut Copy has been my favorite for a few years now. If you like catchy pop this is your ticket to a fun time. No seatbelts allowed!
Anyways a newy was posted on the myspazz and its a fist pumper. Catch it here for good quality or I have it and you can steal it from me! Check out Bright Like Neon Love if you don’t like the pure dancefloor vibe of this.

Tonight is all about the Thug Misses. Take this Sufjan. These songs can be just as chirpy and radiant in thier sheer colourful flamboyancy. Imma drop that pussy and wipe them lips. I just made that up…but you can get the idea.

Tonight is a glorious night. I have 45 brandnewsongs to feel and a whole 5 months of lint and dryer sheets collected to burn on canvas!!!! Oh the holy glory of it all.

SHUT UP IF YOU DON’T SHUT UP I WILL FUCKING KILL YOU
AND BURY YOU IN MY BACKYARD YOU FUCKING FOSSIL

This is a nice collection of forty photos. Here is the idea. This guy sets his camera on self-timer for two seconds and runs away as fast as he can. It is different and I’m pissed I didn’t think of it first, although I’m sure he isn’t the first to do this. Check it.

I’m really feeling on this new jam. New Music from Morr Music! I’m always down with my homies in the land of the Jelly Donuts! Long story if you don’t get this, little history lesson for yah. The Go Find - Adrenaline. The new album is less electronic, which is okay I guess. I’m not all butt-hurt over it, I love Miami and was expecting more of the same. They went over to the dark side of more generic indie, but I it sounds nice on my stereo either way.

Y’all, I’m serious here. Where are the parties like this? Only on T.V. I suppose. And in Britain.
The progression of the video is wicked. Start. Fun times. End. Passed out and puking.
Party antics are amazing. So many random characters and all. Some trick drawing on the mirror.
The bed jumping bear suit man. etc. It from a new show over the pond called The Skins.
Check out the first episode on Youtube in three parts, here, here and here.
Seriously is there a need for T.V. anymore?

Look…I’ve been listening to Hip Hop for 15 years and I can’t take this shit anymore ok? Puffy? Fine. Nelly? Fine. Ja Rule? Ok. 50 Cent? I’ll live through it. But that Laffy Taffy shit was the last straw. I’ve already gone through enough pain guys, just let me listen to the Decemberists in peace.

I’m sick now. Pretty sick. I have some wierd stomach thing happening and I won’t excite you with details. Plus a fun head cold / body ache. I’m still wearing Girl Talk’s sweats and I’ve lost my marbles. This is so awesome.

So I thought I might get picked, but after my awkward attempt at flailing my arms around and pretending to be a sick bunny or something, I figured they knew my secret. That I suck. No, but my number was called and it was exciting. I’m gonna be a STAR!!!! I’ll probably flip out on stage and fall on my face and lose a limb, but it’s fun to dream. So now I have 6 days a week of practice for a total of 13 hours. Not too shabby. It’ll keep me busy at least. I’m really excited and nervous. I don’t know what to think. Its an adventure and new things and people are always a positive thing.
In honor of myself, ha, I offer this because it is so fitting.

The Bloggies are here. Its nice to find more unique and inspiring blogs. I like learning. I am actually starting to realize how I like learning. I’m a senior in college, real cool Ben. I have learned more in the past 6 months on the interweb than in school. But my internet interests related to my studies so not much to worry about.

These two sites, here and here, follow a now engaged couple as they make thier way from NY to Buenos Aires over the course of a year. This is a journey.
ASSLEY! If you’re still reading this…we should do this. Minus the marriage and fornicating part. But travelling rules huh?

Dosh - Naoise

Cuando sabés que no tienes que llorar, pero no puedes contenerlo.
Las enfermeras son todas putas y se acuestan con todos los médicos.
Las gordas son simpáticas y las flacas son histéricas.
Las mujeres de uñas largas nunca trabajaron en la vida.
No usar ropa interior.
Revolcarse con más de dos hombres la misma noche.
Desaparece los fines de semana. Deja de llamar los domingos a la tarde.
Canta mientas trabaja.
If we sleep together…would it make it any better?

“It had a very sinister appearance,” Coakley told reporters. “It had a battery behind it, and wires.”

OMG, battery? Wires?!?!?! My kid’s toybox has been taken over by terrorists!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Maybe they should have floated some crates of tea in the harbor with these strapped to the side.

It’s got it all.
