So.

I took this photo while walking home from a coffee shop, and next think I know about a million people have looked at it.



I made a new iTunes playlist pulling things I've been listening to a lot recently and randomly filling my iPod with it, things that have been coming up a lot are Venetian Snares, Guided By Voices, A Tribe Called Quest, Entombed, Explosions in the Sky, The Libertines, and Murder City Devils. I'm not sure what that says, but it says something for sure.

Things I've gotten today: 8 total shots of espresso, a new pocket knife, a shitty attitude.

Things I learned recently: The edges on my new ring are sharper than the edges on my new pocket knife. The Scrabble game on FaceBook will accept CUM but not PUNX. Being overly friendly to guys yelling at you in the street scares the crap out of them and they lock themselves in their car to get away from you, I have way more progressive, perhaps idealistic views on the direction of applications and their relationship to the web then many of my friends, Guinness isn't as gross as I previously believed, though I still maintain that beer on a whole is fucking disgusting.

I watched Fido, Flight of the Living Dead and Helvetica in the past few days. All were totally awesome in their own way.

I don't have as many sizes of allen wrenches as I thought I did.

SimplifyMedia freaking owns.

I'll be in SF next week. Austin next month. Berlin the following month. mosh.

Sorry for the lack up updates recently, I've been swamped and my internets connextshunz have been sucking in terrible ways. I'm slaving away on the metblogs redesign so will be a bit quiet till that launches in Mid Feb (i hope). I'll be traveling again in over the next few months - San Francisco, Austin, Berlin, New York City, and most likely Bradenton towards the end of April.

Also, I got new moo cards.



And yes they say 'i like lolcats'

Also, yesterday posh and I went and shot guns after work. bang.



Also, I've been listening to 7 Seconds a lot recently, that's weird right?

I'm back in LA. el w00t.

Getting on a plane in 5 minutes and heading back to the US. Wow.. that's going to be weird after 2 months all over Europe. I wonder if I can buy coffee with my left over Euros?

I need new tattoos. It's 2008 and I haven't gotten anything yet. I've got a list of things I want. I want them now.

NOW.

Or at least as soon as I get back LA.

In 8 hours I get on a train to Amsterdam. I've never been there before. I leave 48 hours later. That's a small window, and a lot of options. Tell me what to do while I'm there.

I just wrote a massively long post, or rather made a massively long post (since it's mostly photos) reviewing 2007. I'd cross post it here but since SG doesn't use HTML I'd have to recode the whole thing and I'm just not going to do that. So, if you want to check it out, here is my 2007 Year in Review, in photos post.

2007 is over. Fuck 2007. It's all about 2008. Viva la revolution. (in 2008)

In the past few days I've gotten a handful of super nice holiday e-mails from friends packed full of all kinds of nice things that I wish I'd been considerate enough to think of sending to my friends, family, and loved ones (none of which overlap of course). Every time I got another one I thought that would be the catalyst to get me to do it however every time I started I thought what I was writing sounded dumb and then started worrying about all the people I needed to send it to and who I'd forget and if one group of them would get the same jokes that another group of them would get or whatever. And then I'd delete the e-mail and go pretend to do something more important.

The truth is my friends, family, and loved ones are the single most important thing to me, each one more important than the others (don't try and figure it out, just run with it) and nothing I could ever say would encompass exactly how I feel. What I do want to say is thanks. Thanks for everything, the good, the bad, all of it. The pats on the head, the kisses on the cheek, the kicks in the balls. I wouldn't be where I am right now, I wouldn't be who I am right now with out each and every one of them, and each and every one of you. For that I'm eternally grateful. I'm sure I've never told you all that in person, and no matter how much I intend to as I write this I'm pretty sure I will continue not to going forward. So be it. You know who you are, and I really can't thank you enough. I hope no matter what you are doing today, and this week, that it makes you smile and that you can get away, even for a few moments, from whatever bullshit you have to deal with the rest of the year.
