the big quarter century

“You cant be 20 on sugar mountain”, and
“nobody likes you when you’re 23.”
my last day of being 24…

Until a man is 25, he still thinks, every so often, that under the right circumstances he could be the baddest motherfucker in the world. If I moved to a martial arts monastery in China and studied real hard for 10 years. If my family was wiped out by Colombian drug dealers and I swore myself to revenge. If I got a fatal disease, had one year to live, devoted it to wiping out street crime. If I just dropped out and devoted my life to being bad.

look who’s stalking

narcissism bad!
sometimes i feel like the internet, more specifically living thru an avatar on the internet, can be pretty self-indulgent (uhh duh, i run a site that’s my own stupid name!), so i think i’m gonna stop the whatever-i-feel-like-writing posts, and just stick to photo-stories. and though i should have some sort of writing outlet other than all the academic mumbo-jumbo i do in school*, i’m not feeling much like writing these days… especially about myself…

* did i mention i’m writing the book on soderbergh? literally: me and “my colleague” (aka my buddy colin) got a book deal to write the book on steven soderbergh (there’s no book out on soderbergh yet, so it technically is: the book on soderbergh). anywho, so that’s happening. in 2010.

and yeah, maybe facebook killed the blogstar. in the very least, i spend enough time on the book of faces, i don’t need a blog to eat my time as well…

narcissism good!
in slightly less self-indulgent, slightly more sharing-is-good! news, i’m linking to all the social networking/sharing sites that i use, so you can stalk me share your favourite links, photos, videos, and music with me. seriously, use these websites if you don’t already, and then add me as a contact. share baby!
