Thank You

I just found the following list saved as a draft in my Blogger, so I thought I would post it as is. I apparently created this on 3/20/10, which is the day I spent 10 straight hours in Caffe Mediterraneum writing an essay titled, "Criticism of Fine Art Within the Kantian Framework." Anyway, in place of the actual content that I was prepared to write when I signed onto Blogger today, I will just share this with you, so you can know the sorts of things that I really, really, really appreciate in life.

Darude
Pandora Radio
Caffeine
Pancakes

things I am grateful for:

1) Alice in Chains

I should specify. This Alice in Chains:



Just give it up, William DuVall.

this is just to say

I know it's very vogue to hate on Pitchfork. And sometimes completely justified. But in the spirit of William Carlos Williams, here is a confession. The original intent was to write it in verse, but I have actually already lost interest in that idea. So here are my two confessions in prose: 1. Pitchfork.com is my homepage on Firefox and 2. I would sell my soul to work for them. BECAUSE GOD THE WRITING IS AMAZING AND I WOULD GIVE ANYTHING TO BE ABLE TO WRITE LIKE THAT.

Dear Platform-1,

I'm hijacking this shit.

Sincerely,
Disgruntled Employee

5) Be ambidextrous.

This is it for the compulsive (and useless) posting, I promise. :)

I really hate how every post has to have a title.

I AM SO ANNOYED THAT THERE ARE SO MANY GOOD CONCERTS THIS SUMMER AND I WON'T BE HERE FOR ANY OF THEM.

Also, this is the second time this week that I have stayed up late enough to catch the sunrise, but on both occasions, I could not actually witness said sunrise because it was so cloudy.

Did you know that I have an aversion to using the Caps Lock key? I usually just hold Shift and type awkwardly.

life goals, 4/21/09

Since it's the end of my sophomore year of college, I thought I would enumerate some of my life goals, in the spirit of reflection and personal growth.

1) Work in a record store.
2) Be enough of a pretentious f*** to get into the Radiohead Decal at Berkeley. AND THEN, openly admit that I infinitely prefer Pablo Honey over OK Computer, which is true, but also apparently very blasphemous.
3) Never own another car besides my '97 Nissan Maxima, which is so undesirable that once, I accidentally left my keys in the ignition, and no one bothered to steal it, but which I love regardless.
4) Become really good at something really useless. I haven't decided what yet.

I used to want to change the world, but this might make me equally happy.
