Sitting

Just sitting at my place in MPLS, kicking it. TRYing to skype with a friend of mine, but she isnt having it. Which isnt that sweet for me.

Class was sweet today i suppose. Didnt do too much because it was the first day, so just syllabus stuff. Gotta get my books tomorrow I think, which should be interesting.

Im way tired right now, might try to get a quick nap in beefo work.

Holler.

Ill write some more later.

Inglorious Bastards, bastard.

One of my favorite movies of all time after seeing it tonight.

Do yourself a favor and go see it!

Thats all for now.

Dusting off this ol' thing

Once again, holy shnikes its been a while. I'd like to ask how you've been? Feel free to answer quietly to yourself, or as loud as you'd like.

Its been a fast, mellow summer. I love mellow. Roudy is cool sometimes, but usually mellow is a better way to go. Right now I'm watching this re-make of King Kong with Jeff Bridges, Jessica Lange, and the dad from Beethoven. I didnt even know Jeff Bridges was in a remake of King Kong, but he is all about the Kurt Russell look from "The Thing". Pretty rad.

Anyway, back to the summer topic. It was pretty fun. Worked a lot, moving units at work at Luggage N' Leather. Its crazy what people will spend on luggage. And its crazy how crazy some people can get about it. This one lady flipped out on me once, it was wack. I hope she didnt have safe travels. I hope she tripped a lot on the ground, maybe skinned her knee. Nothing too serious, but enough to let her know that Karma is a bitch. A lot like herself. Booya.

What else happened? My brother moved back home, thats sweet. We hit a rough patch for a bit, but he had some stuff he had to work out, so I guess its understandable. We're all good now though. Solidarity.

I got to hang out with an old friend of mine that I hadnt seen in like a year, that was awesome. Her name is Chelsea, and she is the puuurrrdiest girl this side of the mighty Mississippi. We had a few wine nights at her place, and just talked. I really like talking to her, she is a good listener and is very opinionated. She is awesome. She is studying in Wales right now, and is sort of homesick, so I'm trying to talk to her as much as I can to try to make her feel better. Im on that Skype thing, which is totally genius. Im still holding out hope for out video Skype date, hopefully that happens soon.

I want to buy shoes soooo bad right now.

And Jessica Lange isnt that attractive. Shallow? No. Opinion? Yes.

I gotta work in the morning which is kind of a bummer. And on Labor Day. and Tuesday, which is the first day of school. Sick seggway.

So Tuesday I start at the U of M. So nervous. But really excited. Im living with 4 of my best friends, who like to party a bit. Im not a huge partyer, so we'll see how that goes. I've got the smallest room, which isnt that bad I suppose. It still fits everything I want. I gotta get a desk though. But it should work out. I gotta get groceries too! Man, being all grown up is crazy.

Thats all im gonna write for now. Kinda tired and just want to kick it and not write for a bit haha. I gotta favorite this website so I can write more often.

Until next time friends.

Goodnight and Have A Pleasant Tomorrow

^^^^Those, my friends, are the first and way overdue signature model by the great Stefan Janoski. He got on Nike after bouncing around from the now defunked Savier and the "new look" Etnies crew which he would still fit on perfectly. Holler at Davis Torgerson, hometown dude on Etnies. Anyway, these come out this month and they couldnt represent the designer any better. He obviously went for a boat shoe look and Nike nailed it. they are super simple and basic, which is always good. There doesnt seem to be alot of high tech anything on them so they dont look like spaceboots, and I believe the laces are the kind of leather laces you sometimes get with dress shoes and what not. Anyway, he has been spotted wearing them and they look amazing. I cant say enough about them. I believe the first colorway will indeed be the go-to black suede/white, with the tan and maroon to follow. Also, there are photos of a navy blue leather and brown colorway, so be on the look out.  

Here is one of his amazing parts from the skate flick "Subtleties". Its got a good into from his buddy Kyle Leeper that seems to explain Stefan in a nutshell. Notice how relaxed and smooth he is on his board, its amazing. Also, apparently he has a hunchback, which is super noticeable. It doesnt take away from his skating at all, so enjoy.

Like a Friend

Dear Faithful Readers, sorry for the lack of posts. I could make up an excuse but really I just didnt feel like posting. 

-Im backing this song right now. Not only because it is in one of the greatest skate videos of all time, but because it really starts to rage and pick up and is super sick.

Im gonna post again a pair of shoes I cant wait to nab when they come out this month, followed by a super good part by the skater that designed them. Check me go.

Every weekend off. So there.

Chillin, just had easter break. it was tight. kind of tired right now? so weird. its like 7. watching some garbage on MTV right now, but the women are attractive so its kind of tight. I want some sneakers so bad right now. At the top, I posted to top 4 I would love to have in my closet right now.

Holler till later.

1084 26th Ave. SE.

God, I can't wait to get back to the greatest city in the world next year. I am getting so worn out of the stuck up, wack-ass, hick people here. Dont get me wrong, I'm going to miss all the people that I consider friends here and the only reason I come visit will be because of them, but all the other people can gargle my balls, to be quite honest. Jesus H Fucking Popsicle just thinking of some of the people makes my blood boil.

I was talking to one of my best friends, and future roommate, Max, today, and after I hung up the phone with him I got an extreme sense of excitement and went and rented 4 movies because I was happy, stoked on the libraries movie selection, and giddy as hell for next year.

Just the fact that I can go see my dog every day, and my brother will be home, and family, and familiarity, and people that I enjoy the company of more often than not, it is going to be one hell of a year. I just wish this could have happened sooner, rather than later.

And We'll Become...

This song is so sick. It is in the trailer for the movie "Funny People" starring Adam Sandler, Seth Rogen, Eric Bana, Lesley Mann, and Jonah Hill. For sure an all star cast and I cant wait to see the flick.  Check out the song We Will Become Silhouettes by The Postal Service below, as well as the trailer for Funny People. Enjoy.

Here is the movie-

And here is the song-

Thats all for now. Super excited that I figured out how to post videos on here. Look out for more. Word.

Fiesta Lime Chicken

The title doesn't mean anything, nor is it witty or creative. I just saw this Applebees commercials advertising it. It isn't my favorite place to eat, but that looked good right there. I need some food in me. A pizza sighting in the future?

-Ive been wearing these today. Vans Chima Ferguson Chukka Low. So ill. I think they might be a little too big, but I'm over that. They go with anything and they look super clean. Im happy with my shoe game right now, but there is always room for improvement.

-Twins Opener tonight. Psyched. Last time I checked it was 4-1 in favor of the opposing team, so that sucks. Its quite a long season and hopefully we rock the shit out of the league this year.

-Just realized that these aren't the Twix I have been grubbing, but close enough. These have chocolate cookie, and I've been into vanilla. I had two packages of them today and am regretting it quite a bit right now. Mad gut rot and I wont even get into the burps I have. Gross. I kind of regret just typing that, but welcome to my world, world.

Thats about it for now. If you would like to delve further into my psyche, check out rorschachsjournal.wordpress.com. 

HOLL-UH

certain things

Now, I've got a pair of these in all black and white. But not nearly as elegant as these. These, of course, are the Air Yeezy's. Just released yesterday and retail price at an acceptable $215. I would gladly pay $215 for these babies. They are magnificent. I paid $90 for some prototype ones off of eBay. Prototype, I hope. These are on ebay for a staggering $630-$750. Pretty unbelievable. I have heard rumors that all proceeds go to Kanye West's foundation, so thats sweet.

-Im all about twitter right now. Its really fun. Pretty low key, but fun. I cant remember my name on it right off hand, but I will let ya'll know about that later. Or, if interested, just search my name on it.
-A great Sidney Poitier movie that I think im going to do a paper on. I have to correlate it with race, which shouldnt be hard to do since the white cop in it is a bigot. Fuckin mark.

Turning over a new leaf, or page, or whatever thing you want to turn over.

So, Ive decided to stop with my previous blogging technique where I bitch about things and be emo. So im going to continue to post things that I love right now:

-God, Guns, & Money T-Shirt by Crooks & Castles. So tight. Kind of hood for me, but I might get it and prove myself wrong. 

-my iPhone. So awesome. Favorite thing right now. Addicted to downloading apps and now that im on that Twitter and Skype, It will be that much more sweet because of the apps. Dont get that gay sprint phone, Max. Get this.

Theophilus London's mixtape JAM! is soooo dope. Real good flow, and kicks off great with a miz of Michael Jackson's song "Jam". Download it.

Thats all I got now. my back is killing my from slouching while writing this, so I gotta move around.

Watchmen, Oh Watchmen

woah. accidentally pressed Enter and posted this with just the title. Quickly hit the Edit Post button and the rest is history.

So I went and saw Watchmen last night, and I was like a kid in a candy store. It was unbelieveable. Goosebumps at every turn. Any time Rorscach was on screen, it was on. He is one of the best characters in all of comic books. The best part about the whole series is how normal everyone is, with the exception of Dr. Manhattan of course. I might save the rest of this for another blog post because I can go on and on and on and on about it and the depths of the story and stuff. So awesome. thats what I love about comics now. Everything is so much deeper than expected, so much more underlying stuff. I love it. It really makes you think. Not only does it let you get caught up in a new world, but it really makes you think. Its rad. Get into graphic novels. 

Its been a while since I posted last, and when I did post last, it was a week before my 21st. Being 21 is kind of a trip. Its so much fun though.

Spring Broken is about to start next week, kind of jacked for that. Just to go hangout at home, get some more graphic novels, see Watchmen like 3 more times, and just chill. Im over midterms though. I didnt have any last semester and I have a couple this time around, so wish me luck.

Not alot of people will be home for sb, but hopefully its a good time anyway. Im supposed to hang out with some people I dont get to see often, so that should be nice.

I wish I had more to write about right now, but I suppose I'm just not feelin it right now. Got class in a bit, ill get ready.

Chillin out, maxin', relaxin' all cool

Sitting at my double-desk that was provided by the university. In my room that is no wider than a prison cell, but much longer. My roommate Jake is clanking his spoon up against a cereal bowl out in the living room. We are currently watching the same channel on TV but mine is on mute. And the tv out there is loud enough for it to seem like its playing in my room. A preview of the movie Taken was just on. Its super sick. My buddy downloaded a DVD copy of it and we watched it like a week ago. I highly recommend you go see it. Its my buddy Marks birthday today, which is fucking awesome. He's probably wasted right now. Props. Its my b-day in exactly a week and frankly, I'm a little afraid. Im afraid I will drink too much, and I do not want that to happen. We'll see how it pans out though. Ahhhh thats better. Just leaned back in my chair and put my laptop in its rightful spot, my lap. Im watching this show Dexter right now, its pretty intense. Super addicting. I've been looking for a new show to watch, and that should be a good one to get caught up on. Thank you to Max for that. I also want to watch "Mad Men", "The Wire", and "Arrested Development." They all look super good. Im getting extremely tired all of a sudden. I really want to watch more Dexter.

Oh yeah, and, FIRST BLACK PRESIDENT was sworn in today, that was wild. My Dad and Brother were there, so thats awesome. I might have mentioned that before. But it bares repeating, I feel. 

I miss my dog like crazy. Can't wait to get home and see him again.

I dropped a Fiction to Film class today to take an Eastern Philosophys class. That should be interesting. I hope it isn't too hard and is more interesting than dreadful.

Update-Just re-picked up that class. I probably should take it since it will be covering my intended major at the U of M.

Im gonna go finish watching some Dexter, I'll holler tomorrow before my first day back! muahahaha *scary background organ music*

Bound by Nothing

Just finished a viewing of Good Will Hunting, but it was on cable TV, so I feel that took away from the essence and the actual feel of the movie. So im going to have to get at it some other way. I loved it though. Mini Driver seems like the coolest chick in the world in that movie. I almost cried like twice I swear. When him and her get in that huge fight, and when he starts to cry on Robin Williams' shoulder. Shit is deep.

His relationship with Mini Driver seems really awesome and laid back and something I would love to have, and it really got me thinking. Like, what the fuck!? All I really want is an awesome girlfriend. I have an awesome family, an awesome dog, the BEST friends anyone could ever ask for, can't god grant me a woman that knows all my in's and out's. My idiosyncrasies, what makes me tick, everything. Tank, my dog, probably has most of that covered, but the awesome things I like to do with girls doesn't and shouldn't really fly with him. Now, im not trying to be shallow with that statement, im just saying. It makes sense right?

Like, i have some good girlfriends. Krew+2 im talking about you. Emily and Nikki from school, Emalee from school. Its just weird, I dont know. All that keeps flashing through my head is the Chinese zodiac placemat things you get at the restaurants. Im categorized as "Dragon", and it says I will marry late in life. Thats no what I want to happen at all! I want to find the coolest girl of all time, wherever she may be, and really get to work and get on the relationship horse. I look at all my friends who have had serious relationships and it just trips me out that they have and I haven't, you know? Im not knocking them at all, its just like, we all have a lot of the same traits, so what am I doing wrong? So many questions and so few answers create frustration.

What also creates frustration in me at least is seeing an awesome person that I know get treated like shit by their significant other and they just sit there and let it happen. Im talking to you ladies, why is that? What is so great about the dude that walks all over you and yet you still feel so insanely compelled to stay with him? Dont you know there are millions of other guys out there that can treat you a million times better and you can both be happy? Its just so frustrating and it could be something that I never get over. Maybe they are just really good in the sack, in which that case proves that women are just as shallow as they say we men are. But I digress.

So about that blog post before, I was really ranting and I feel that most of that stuff could come off as kind of harsh. I meant a lot of it, but all of it needed to be said by me. I still haven't really talked about any of that to anyone besides on here and the instances that I mentioned in the blog.

I honestly can't remember the last time I was happy. And that usually isn't good. Granted I will have a good time with friends and family or whatever, but I can't think of the last time I was legitimately happy. Thats why I'm so in need of someone I can confide in. An outside party.

Ive got to change up this blog look, im not diggin it anymore. I really hope I have a cool dream tonight so I can just escape. Thats what I love about writing fiction stories. I can just write and escape into a world that I create, and Im happy with it. I wrote a funny story for one of my finals, and my professor gave me 2 A's on it. I was really happy about that. I guess that was the last time I was actually happy and PROUD of myself. Hopefully I can get somewhere with it, that would be a dream.

I've got to sleep this off. It seems like whenever I start writing on here its always so EMO and drowning in self-pitty. But im a Whisney, and we folk are too proud to talk to anyone about this kind of stuff. So for now, you readers are my listeners. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
