The World's Most Famous Bald Eagle


On televised newscasts and on his Web site, Colbert said he has been disappointed by Stephen Jr.'s excursions to Canada. When Stephen Jr. first crossed into Canadian airspace in August 2006, Colbert noted Junior was feasting on fresh Canadian salmon, looking for Vietnam draft dodgers and stopping terrorist pigeons from crossing the border.

On his Web site, Colbert offers factoids about Stephen Jr., including, "He could take your arm off. Hates pelicans, just like his Dad."

Bon Iver

NPR is giving him best song of the year.

That's-a-good-one:

At first my expectations dropped, then I started to love it about half way.
High then low expectations may just be the secret to joy.

Another MPKism


"Never trust a bar that opens at 10:30 in the morning, unless, of course, it's 10:30 in the morning."

Why?




"Because people that use PCs have jobs."

Come Fools Come all



All right my loris faced friends, it's time to get serious about gathering in February 2009. Ty has mentioned the weekend of 2/6/09 through 2/9/09. No one has said these dates don't work, so I'm going ahead. I'm getting my plane ticket this weekend. Matt just gave me a maybe. Jim said he'd come, but we all know that's BS, so AJ and I are going to hog tie him and send him in a box. So we have Ty, Tim, Ry, AJ, and Jim.

Dan, Chris, and Vinny we need you guys to get on this gravy train to celebrate the birth of TY, Chris, and Tim's engagement.

Joy


Over the past weeks, I have had a peace, a happiness.
Leaping through the night streets like a cracked out ninja swinging my wooden stick, laughing, smiling, dancing, and relaxing.
It comes
not as an arduous trek across a desert,
not as the slow epiphany of a sunrise,
not through her hand on my back,
not from the depths of a dark booze filled well,
not during in a moment of clarity with blood on my lip,
not through a canvass that fills me with pride,
not through work,
but like that beautiful girl, the tease, who enflames my chest and loins, and fills me with hope, but never
promises consistency, dependency, or duration.

Obama Pride Floods the Streets of Capitol Hill




Ryan and Jim were there. I got a text from Ryan as my plane pulled up to the gate. Jim called while I was on the tram with a hundred other dehydrated, exhausted people who spent the last 5 hours with me, sitting crammed together, uninformed. I knew it was Jim, but all I could hear was elated screaming. I looked around at the somber faces. My friend Porter led the crowd in the national anthem and his writeup gives a good idea of what I missed.

Winter visits

Hey y'all, there are some cheap tickets to Denver for the weekend of Feb. 7-8, we could celebrate my birthday and belatedly Ry's and Chris's as well. We could also give Timmy a little bachelor party.

And if you haven't been to visit AJ, Ryan, and Jim here's an article about their neighborhood.

1. Drank coffee
8. saw Barack Obama
23. Drank a microbrew
12&44. Donated to my local NPR station

and many others

On another note and to further our whiteness, who wants to go skiing this winter, what times would work?

NC Pics

Here are all of my pics from NC. Indoor ones came out blurry for some reason, but it gave a cool effect on this pic at least:

Thanks Harvey

Harvey reminded me of a little project I started but never finished, so thanks to Harvey for inspiring me to further procrastinate from all the other shit I probably should be doing. Enjoy.

Warning

Once Dad gets a hold of this blog he may never again leave the house:
http://futurismic.com/

For example, he might be interested in this little ditty:
http://futurismic.com/2007/09/07/frickin-laser-beams-to-power-japan/

Space Monkey, by contrast, might be more interested in the fiction section.

Regardless, this should help fuel some ridiculous conversations over whiskey and cigars at our next meeting.

This message brought to you by the southwest flight magazine and sent from the Googleplex. Who's the nerd now?
