There are a plethora of reasons why I choose to be apathetic in most aspects of my existence, it would just take too long to explain.
2008 was supposed to be the year of growing-up. Instead, its been a daily reminder of just how little I've grown thus far.
I need a better excuse for not shaving than the old adage of lethargy. Are their any religions that practice haircuts and full beards?
Cargo shorts were a very good idea.
I've been told on a number of occasions that I am emotionally crippled. What does that even mean?
Secretly, I pine for a clean escape from my life so I can move to Europe and sell pyramid schemes.
When I'm having a bad day, its best to just leave me alone.
I've never told a girl that I loved her. I just cannot bring myself to use that phrase. This has, surprisingly been the stimulus behind the end of a number of my better relationships.
I hate movie theater gymnastics. You know, having to get up and bend slightly without obstructing the view of the guy behind you so that Person X can get to the aisle. So tiresome and ultimately annoying.
When you go to a restaurant and are the first to order in a group, don't you feel the appetizer pressure? If you choose buffalo wings along with your sandwich, you're setting the standard for all preceding decisions. You are ultimately determining if everyone is getting another drink or ponying up for Caesar salads so they too can fit in.
What happened to the band Len?
Watching degenerate Jersey-shore fuck-ups on MTV is the highlight of my Saturday afternoons.
Where would we be as a nation without VLC and Firefox?
Every time I travel I get this minor anxiety attack before going through security that I might have something inappropriate in my carry-on luggage.
If you were there, beware.
I'll get a ton of hate for saying this, but I really think New York is overrated. Just so we're clear, I think Los Angeles is as well.
The nightlife social stratosphere is played out in LA. We have the same 10 places and the same 2,000 faces every weekend. This is a major factor in why I decided to retire from the scene. That and the overpriced drinks, oversexed patrons, and overall bullshit.
I am clueless without my GPS.
I have not listened to a full album in the last two months. This has been a totally unconscious choice but a terrifying indicator once again of my scatterbrain musical inclinations.
People that plan their gym wardrobe are hopeless.
Matthew Santos is better than Akon.
Justin.tv has been my friend on a number of occasions.
I prefer analog versus digital effects in all aspects of life.

I find Ray Bans offensive.
Also, people that wear sweatbands on their legs: why?
I could listen to Radiohead's Nude for the next 24 hours and not mind one bit.
Secretly, I worry that my hair is becoming the generic corporate side-part I loathe.
I can be incredibly OCD depending on the context.
I fear that losing my mind in a supermarket is an inevitable circumstance given the amount of angst I submerge.
I have an incredibly easy time trusting total strangers, but resist allowing the people I love in.
Why is it called "practicing" medicine, as if its akin to honing the technique on your jump-shot?
I wish I was a better guitar player.
I'd like to think there's a chance I'll be married one day down the road, but would be more than content to live the rest of my life single and free to be where the wind takes me.
As much as I love metropolitan environments, I also crave the solace of suburbia.
The American economy, once mighty, is a shadow of its former self. This is news to nobody except Dubya.
I wish Cramer would get fired. He makes my life hell.
Kanye West's opinion is unnecessary. As is Ron Artest's.
Obama '08.
No joke, Hip-hop literally saved my life on more than one occasion.
Sirius satellite radio has brightened my afternoon commutes with the Tsar.
I use the word aggressive a lot nowadays.
I like to believe that I'm serving a greater good with my life; this has yet to be confirmed or denied.
I'm convinced energy drinks will be involved somehow in the prelude to World War 3.
I love Skittles and Oreo's.
My musical taste depends on too many variables and ultimately scares me.
I've worn the same pair of jeans for three months without washing them before. Nasty.
Several times in College I awoke to find myself staring a Jason Cassis passed-out with his face burrowed in a Donut box.
I remember faces better than names, but have a strange xenophobia about myself.
I want to adopt a child.
A Tarot card reader in Boston told me that I would die at the age of 22.
I hated every minute of high school and its forced/broken social structure.
Los Angeles is a marvelous and yet poorly constructed city.
Devendra Banhart makes me feel like I'm on acid.
What exactly is acid, and why do people refer to it as being dropped?
I have fond memories of Waltham.
Text messages have made flirting more enjoyable and frustrating.
I hate hate hate the phrase "Don't Worry About It".
The Brits are suffering from withdrawal symptoms from the last Oasis album.
I fear the ocean.
I have an unhealthy obsession with Chelsea FC and the Los Angeles Lakers.
I dream of the day when my child graduates from College.
I feel like you need to know that I hate Colgate toothpaste. Mentadent is fine. Crest is the norm.

So I took off the album of the week thing, because I found it to be rather boring. Also, the iPod has been changed from the cumbersome image map into an interactive player. You will need flash to enjoy its glory, but I promise it's worth the download.
I will try and update the songs as frequently as possible.

Saw Death Cab last night @ the Nokia Center. They were pretty solid overall. But the evening wasn't defined by what happened on stage; rather, the antics of my buddy George. In essence, the man brought his A-game to the table, and it would be impossible to recount all the shenanigans in this space. Suffice it to say that he went above and beyond and brought the best out of the night with his cutting wit and incise one-liners. All told, a successful night by any barometer.
Off to work.

So here's the rub. I got sick of my generic blog template and decided this afternoon that it was time for an overhaul. I previously used a skin that had a panel on the left side where I could put my book of the month and album of week. This current layout is a more progressive version of that, in my opinion.
Let me know what you think, as I'd love to improve where necessary. And oh by the way, I'll be posting a lot more frequently in the coming weeks. I've been hard at work on a number of creative writing projects, and I feel comfortable enough to start sharing bits and pieces of them with the wide world.
Stay tuned.
Congratulations - Boston Celtics

2008 NBA Champions. You played harder, smarter, and overall better than my Lakers. I tip my hat to your organization and personnel.
Soak it in townies. It's gone next year with the addition of Bynum.
