I started thinking the other day of just how connected we are to each other these days and with cell phones, text messages, myspace, facebook, Twitter, ect. We can be connected to everyone we know via some device near us.

While I think cell phones have been one of the greatest tech breakthroughs of the last 20 years and have a number of useful purposes it's also used for more dumb shit then any other device know to man. Whenever I walk through the mall I overhear dozens of conversations that have no fucking purpose. When was the last time you overheard a cell phone conversation that was important? I've heard people calling people up just to tell them that someone was rude to them in a store. I often wonder how many millions of hours have been wasted on completely stupid needless cell phone calls?

And let us not forget the guys who have there cell phones full of pics of drunk girls tits. I guess it's just human nature to use everything we can to fulfill our primal sexual desires but come on. Do you really need a cell phone full of porn? Guys carry them around like badges of honor to compare and share with each other like trading baseball cards "Hey, I'll trade you a B-cup blonde for a C-cup brunette."

With the overwhelming way that the internet has became integrated into our everyday lives it seems that more and more people are putting everything about there lives online for people to read. I'm not sure if It's peoples need to get attention or if it's just becoming part of the culture. Hell, I'm guilty of it. I got a myspace & fadebook like apparently like most of the planet that I put a lot of useless information for no apparent reason.

I love the art of conversation. I think with all this instant information people have conversation seems to have taken the back seat to how humans interact with each other. Maybe that's why people I can have good conversations with I hold in such I regard. Some of my favorite times I've had with people is just sitting somewhere and talking. The irony of having a device that gives you access to talk to anyone at anytime is killing conversations is not lost on me. I don't think I have met one person through the net that I have became a really good friend with. I've met a few I say hi to and are on good terms but no one that has made a huge impact on my life. Most I find it hard to become good friends with someone I can't look in the eyes. Maybe that's the way the world is heading the closest thing we have to human contact is look at someone in there pixelated photoshoped eyes.

I got the worst luck with women. I had a girl I was I guess you could call us friends we went to lunch once every couple of weeks and texted a lot but that was about all. I didn’t consider us really good friends. But I met her cause I wanted to date her and then she got back with her ex and that was that. I didn’t talk to her for about 6 months then we see each other and she’s single so we start hanging out and I think something is gonna happen with this and it never does and I fall into the friend zone. Well it stays like this for about 4 months and then we start getting into arguments about everything. So I decide to just stop hanging out with her and talking to her all together. I got into this to try to date her it didn’t happen cut my losses and run. Well I tell her I don’t want to be friends and she gets pissed at me (which was expected). Well I find out the next fucking day that her ex was showing pics of her naked around his work. I wanted to give her the heads up but I figured it would just be best to stay out of it. Later in the day she messages me about something and I tell her that this doesn’t make us friends or anything but her ex was show the pics to everyone. I figured If I was in that situation I’d want to know. So that’s it, I figure we’re done, the end. About a hour later she sends me a texts asking if I want to go get some food after she got off work. My reply was that doing that would be the exact opposite of what I’m trying to do in this situation. She calls me a selfish asshole (which I am).

At about 1 in the morning I get a call from her. I’m in my boxer in bed no contacts in and half asleep I answer it not knowing who I is. When I answer I can tell she’s been crying so I figure something is really wrong, like just got raped wrong. And she asks me to come outside. So I put some shorts on. I have on two different sandals on and my shirt is inside out then I put on my glasses (which I thought of after was the completely opposite order to that in). I get out there and she’s crying and I ask her what’s wrong and she says “I just don’t know why we can’t be friends.” I get annoyed at this point I thought something was really wrong and she’s this upset over me not wanting to go get b.f.f. bracelets. So I answer back “cause you don’t want to fuck me!” okay maybe I was a little harsh but she was acting like we were dating for years and I up and left her without explanation. She proceeds to tell me I was her best friend and a lot of other things that make me feel uncomfortable, like Fatal Attraction uncomfortable. She asks me “who will she talk to now?” I tell her to talk to her new boyfriend cause I’m done with this. I’ve had kind of similar things happen before but usually sex was involved.

The past few days I’ve been trying to stay under the radar and not have anything to do with her. But she keeps putting stuff up on twitter, myspace and calling me. So if I go missing I’ll probably either be murdered or in some cabin tied up with my ankles broken Misery style.

i had my first mma fight last week. i wasn't expecting to fight for a long time if at all but the guy i was helping train hurt his knee two days before the fight and they got me to step in for him. i ended up winning but it made me see that i shouldn't be fighting for awhile. i got lucky. the guy was better then me on striking but i got him against the cage and cut him with the elbow, he panicked went for a takedown, and i got him in a arm bar. so yay i guess. it was fun but i need to train alot more before i do it again and work on my striking cause i think a 70 year old woman would own me on the feet.

went and saw Up this weekend. it was fan-fucking-tastic. Pixar can do no wrong. i wish there were more studios like them that cared about making a good flick first as opposed to pandering to there audience.

another broken toe thanks BJJ

i've been on a stephen king kick the past couple of weeks so far i've read the stand, it, the first 2 dark tower books and started the shinning.

i watched about 20 mins of the mtv movie awards and now i feel retarded. it's official i'm a adult

i added up the time i was training and working out for the brazilian jiu jitsu tournament i have coming up and it was a total of 42 hours last week and 35 the week before. so i think may be going a bit over board with this. i've lost 12lbs in 2 weeks and I ACTUALLY HAVE ABS!!! WHOOOO! i was the chubby kid in high school now i got abs so suck it douche bag who used to give me shit on the way to honors english! is it sad that i can't let high school beef go even after 7 years?

Hey i broke my nose today. i was sparing with a buddy of mine for a MMA fight he has coming up and he threw a knee and busted my nose i didn't really realize it until my shirt was covered with blood the thing that made it worse was i had a massive fucking headache before the workout so i took some aspirin which only made it worse so i bled for like 30 minutes and filed up about 2 inches of a mop bucket. someone came in and asked the intelligent question "oh my god is that blood?!" to which i responded that "no, i was in a porn film with the kool aid man." which was made a hell of a lot funnier by my friend josh yelling out "OH OH OH YEAH!!!!!!" so after a trip to the hospital and some painkillers i'm feeling super. it's been a eventful day.


Why is it easier to pick up a pen when I'm not happy? Why is dilemma the aphrodisiac of the writer? I want to be happy but I want to be a writer. I find when I'm content I have less to write about. This is a paradox.

hey people how have you been? ...... oh really? well you should have worn a condom that will teach you for next time. not that they'll actually be a next time people tend to get turned off by syphilis.

i often wonder how much of history is accurate, as a quote from Sir Winston Churchill goes "history will be kind to me for i intend to write it" how much of thing we perceive to be facts are wrong? as kids we're led to believe the pilgrims were great pioneers and heroes but in reality they the killed almost an entire race of people and stole a entire country. throughout time history has been written by winners. if germany won world war two do you think the history book would have said they were abunch of close minded racist fucks? no, they would say how they fought bravely triumphed over the evil america.

something i found funny is Stephen Colbert edited wikipedia to say that the number of elephants has tripled in the past ten year thus taking them off the endangered species list and people believed it. here recently rupert murdoch (owner of the fox network and hard core republican) bought forbes magizine. with this he has about 8 publications and with the way political parties bend and distort the truth, how can someone be expected to get honest information? it's coming to the point where you have to question everything you see, hear and read. take the war in iraq before the war everywhere people were say there's weapon of mass destruction and we believed it and now were fighting a war which should have never happened. information has become a commodity, it's for sale like everything else in our society. it scares me

i just watched1408 again today and god it was a great. i really haven't liked many horror movies that have came out in the past 4 years there's a couple of good ones every now and then, but for the most part they've all been shit. most are just a gore fest for no reason other then to have gore (hostel and the last two saw flicks) or a remake of a japanese movie where the antagonist is some kind of fucked up dead kid.

1408 was the opposite hardly any gore there was a kid but not fucked up and the best part of it was it was actually scary. the showing was sold out and the audience did nothing but they did nothing in the good way it made people uneasy there were a few shock scares but for the most part it was a great physiological horror movie. there was alot of that nervous laugh after the scares that trying to release tension laugh like "ha ha haaaaa..." they did a great job of setting John Cusack's character he did everything a actual person would do. if you get the chance go see the movie it's awesome.

during this movie there's a really great scene where John Cusack really breaks down and you see some really damn good acting. i almost forgot how good of a actor he was he's in so many great comedies but to see him show some real soul during this movie made me realize how great of a actor he really is. he gonna be one of those people that probably won't get the recognition he deserves now but people who discover his work will realize how much of a genius he is.

Seeing how I was bored almost all day I decide to take a trip and where did I end up but none other then downtown Boise Idaho as I was seeing the sight of the mecca know as Idaho I noticed a small child next to me. He greeted me with a smile and asked me what I was doing I said "looking at this library" he responded with "that's not a library. It's a McDonalds" with a know it all tone. So I proceeded to beat the small child to death with a alley cat that just happened to be walking by. And seeing how you just can't leave a dead body in plain sight in the street I decided to stash the body in a near by dumpster. Unfortunately a nun happened to see me putting this small child in said dumpster. So I couldn't very well let this happen so I ran over to her and dropped kicked her in the face. Cause as we all know that the only real way to drop a nun in one hit. But just my luck the scream the nun let out drew the attention of a small asian man. I knew I couldn't take him in a fight seeing how Asians have been trained in the deadly arts since the day they are born. Then I remembered seeing documentary on the on the discovery channel and how there vision is based on movement. As he investigated I remanded very still. He sniffed around me as to catch my scent but lucky for me the child's blood I was covered in covered up my scent. He was about to go away when something startled me and my head turned and that was all he needed and let's just say after a Liu Kang flying kick, shoryuken , and cartwheel uppercut I was out. When I awoke I was being strung up in town square. I thought this was the punishment for the small child and the nun but apparently I would have just got a hefty fine for the child and the nun but seeing how the ally cat died while I was beating the child to dead in moved the punishment up to a lynching.

As I was there hanging I accepting my fate I looked out to see something I didn't expect to see. My hope the king of funk himself George Clinton. I couldn't think of why he was there he had a show in Issaquah Washington the same day so I asked "hey George what are you doing here don't you have a show in Issaquah Washington?" he responded with "yeah but when I heard you got into some trouble so I figured I'd help you out." That's George he'll always help out a friend when they need it. So he got the attention of the whole town and worked out a deal he'd play a show there if they would drop the charges against me and seeing how no one loves funk more then Idaho loves funk they happily agreed. So that night the good people of Boise we're treated to funk like only the king of funk could. The show was about over George told them he had a very special surprise for them as he went into the song jump a hole opened in the floor of the arena. And demons started to pour into the arena ripping everyone to pieces and feeding on there end trails then George turned to me with a smile and said no one messes with my friends. After the show me and George went out for ice cream while the damned were pillaging and setting the town ablaze I got moose tracks and he got rocky road as always. As we sat and watched the carnage I made the joke I guess I should have brought marshmallows. We both laughed so loud it almost drowned out the scream of pain of those that were still alive. It was a great day indeed.
