If It Feels Good Do It

Long Beach and cowboy boots do not mix well. Flip-flops either, in the part that I live. #
Happy Not Quite Important Country Day. Happy USA Lite Day. Happy Off-white Paint of the North American Continent Day. Happy Canada Day. #
Watching Buffalo 66 in my room by myself using headphones and not on drugs. #

It’s time to try something different.
I sometimes go a little bit overboard.
That’s ok to do say, once a week. The past few months though, I’ve been getting drunk and and high a lot. Weekends, weekdays, whatever. And the New Orleans/Las Vegas trip was the apex of that.
Actually, I have gotten stuck within a [...]

I must be the only one in my family who drinks coffee. Well, my father drinks coffee. But he’s not really, “in my family.” He’s just my dad — an extreme individualist who lives in the mecca for such people, Los Angeles.
My mother inherited her drinking habits from her own mother, who is British. So, [...]

Then one night a girl I’m too in love with gives me a copy of “The Stranger,” by Camus. She found the book on the ground. It belongs to Aragon High School. Or it used to. At around midnight I go to Heidi’s Pies, a 24-hour diner in San Mateo. I look through the names [...]

People sometimes think I’m a Raiders fan. Wrong. It’s an obsession.
I got my 2008 season ticket package yesterday. It was a package, literally. Like, it came in a box.

Inside was all kinds of shit.

My favorite thing besides the tickets was the FAN CODE OF CONDUCT, with a huge list of prohibited actions.

Clearly the NFL produced [...]

In any relationship there is a before, a during, and an after part. In a monogamous relationship, I’m only into the before part. Fuck the rest of that shit.
Just kidding. That’s not really the way I feel. Or, I guess I should say, I don’t know if that’s the way I feel or not. [...]

OTHER
I talked to a good friend of mine over the weekend. He’s married to this dream girl, who he loves a lot. A few years ago, he finished his P.h.d. and now he has a great job and makes a lot of money. His wife makes a lot of money, too.
But when I asked [...]

It’s been kind of emo around here lately. Since I’ve been back from Europe, there hasn’t been much feeling good or doing it. First I was sick. Then my cousin went missing. Luckily, I got well soon, and my cousin was found. (Incidentally, here’s a cnn video, and here’s an online news article about my [...]
