Ignore This
So I don’t know if ADD is a thing. I mean, it’s clearly a thing, but how real of a thing? All I know is that I got up at 9 to write and I have spent literally three hours on the internet doing nothing. I watched some music videos. I picked up the smaller of the two cats that live in my apartment. I put her down because she bit me. I can’t get the fuck out of my own way today. I...

I want all of you
To imagine Craig Finn from the Hold Steady talk-singing the Pixies’ Bone Machine. All of it, but specifically this line:
I was talking to Preachy-Preach about Kissy-Kiss
That has been in my head for 6 months. Now it’s in your head. Enjoy.

ONE ACT PLAY: The Red Light
One man, of African American descent/persuasion, leans out the passenger's side window of his friend's vehicle and calls to me as I walk down the street with two friends.
MAN: Hey, man why you got an afro if you ain't a negro?
ME: (Laughing) Awww, come on man!
MAN: What you doing with an afro, son? You ain't no negro!
ME: (Yelling) Awww, come on man!
MAN: But you're not a negro! You're not supposed to have that afro!
ME: (Screaming exasperatedly) AWWW COME ON, MAN!!!!

Movies I Haven't Seen
In honor of Groundhog Day being today, and the movie of the same name (which I haven’t seen), I thought I’d compile a list of other well known/loved movies I’ve never seen. Warning: this list has been known to piss off everyone from film buffs to casual viewers.
Titanic
Top Gun
The Godfather (pts. 1-3)
The Lord of the Rings (pts. 1-3)

Make A Note Of This 2/1/12
Welp…
I’ve immediately decided against doing this, and have taken the plunge into actually keeping a handwritten log of things. In hindsight, it’s ridiculous to limit myself only to things I’d want to share with others. If this is really going to be for me, It’ll truly be JUST for me.
I hope I remember how to hold a… what’s the word?
Pen.

Memory Experiment.
I have a terrible memory. I can’t remember conversations that I had yesterday. I can’t remember how or when I met certain people. I can’t remember the address and apartment number of my best friends sometimes.
That is why I’m going to start cataloguing my day on this thing. In addition to all the other assorted bullshit I post on here, I’m going to write about more...

Just Opened A New TextEdit Document
I labeled it:
“Space Bros” (The coolest bros in space)
So, if you had any doubt as to whether I was a real writer or not, this ought to clear it all up for you.

How To Get Over A Break Up
mikekarnell:
I was recently broken up with and feeling a little down in the dumps. At around 2am this past Saturday I stumbled into my friends’ apartment for some extra drinks as well as the fancy Meat & Cheese platter that I (correctly) assumed they had. About an hour and several drinks later my friend Bill decided to give me a pep talk:
Bill: Hey. You’re a good man who does the right...

"Forever Alone" Is Stupid
It’s like daring the universe to keep you from achieving happiness for the rest of your life. “If I say this out loud, there’s no way it’ll ACTUALLY come true, right?” Fuck you. The universe doesn’t owe you shit. You don’t have to go out and The Secret your way through life, loudly proclaiming, “I deserve to be happy” in the vitamin aisle at...

Take A Bow
I can’t believe I almost forgot this, but when my last serious girlfriend and I broke up, like finally FINALLY broke up, I ended the conversation by bowing to her. I don’t even remember why or how, I just remember that I did it. I think it was out of a lack of any other words. We had literally exhausted all of the words, and I just needed to bring it to some kind of end that...
The art of getting really dumped
alisonagosti:
So, a good while back, I got really, really dumped. In part because I didn’t see it coming, but mostly because he did it by stopping by my apartment with an iced coffee and saying “I think I need to wrap this up.” The tough thing about writing about this is that I’m going to make the guy look bad. Cold and insensitive and manipulative, and that isn’t fair. We’re all just people....

Character Notes: Annie
My writing partner and I are working on a script, and we were asked to come up with some incredibly specific notes for our characters. Backstory, personal history, likes, dislikes, etc. We were told to go into painstaking detain even though we probably wouldn’t be using most of the info in the script. Here are a few of my favorite notes about our protagonist.
Once conned her way into a...

Grizzly Bear - Alligator (Choir Version)
I’m on a plane. Two male flight attendants just took turns trying to figure out who I looked like. I was wearing a hat all day, so my hair is standing straight up. Finally, they figured it out and started gleefully shrieking, “Sideshow Bob! Sideshow Bob!”
Virgin America, everyone.
