Vlog! And a Contest!

So yeah. Here is the basic rundown. For each of these things, I will put one ticket into the bucket.
1. Giving a ukulele name suggestion
2. Tweeting back to this post. Just post a comment link to this your tweet.
3. Posting about this in your blog.

Just in the interest of saving paper, I think I will limit anyone to three tickets on any day. But yes, anything you guys can do, it would be really appreciated. And I swear the prizes will be good. And just for the sake of anyone who doesn’t wanna sit through that video! If your name gets picked, you will be getting this in the mail

1. A song written about you or a topic of your choice recorded on my uke
2. A mixed bag of Target knick-knacks (Ok, this sounds really lame, but I am gonna get you some really cool stuff
3. Some sort of baked good. Preferably some type of bread or brownie or just something that can hold up to possibly being FedEx’d

No matter what happens, there will be some cool stuff. I am going to let this run through next Wednesday, the 18th. So, help me help you. I will not let you down.
Promise

Also I just realized that the audio on that video is way too low. I was planning on switching to Vimeo for video uploads but it didnt want to work. Sorry people. I’m working on it.

Lackluster at Best

I have to quote So@24 to start this post

“There are a couple of strict blog rules that I have followed since the very beginning.
One of them being, you never apologize for your own blog. E.g. “Well, this is kind of boring…” or “Sorry I’m going to ramble on for awhile”.
That shit is rookie. Don’t do it.”

Well, throwing that completely out the window, I’m going to apologize for the lack of posting that may or may not happen over the next ten days. I’m still going to read, I just don’t know if I’ll be able to churn out the gems(HA!) that you are used to reading. It’s a mixture of a lot of things, but dominated by depression(hooray!) and school, and the probable pain meds I’m going to be put on after today’s dentist appointment. But mainly that first one.

It’s been getting pretty bad for the last week, and I just need to take some time in on myself and try and work things out. So if I come off as standoffish or you just start thinking I’m a douche, again I apologize. And if there are any of you out there that read this with any regularity, please don’t leave forever. I’ll be back in a bit. Or who knows, I’ll wake up tomorrow and feel chipper and ready to go. The truth is I have no idea whats going to happen.

But if you’re curious whats going on with me, you can find me at these places

I’ve Been Creating

I’ve been creating a lot lately. Like these photos I took the other night!

Brendan and I went out the other night in the cold and I shot some photos. There were some others that I really enjoyed, but wasn’t able to capture them exactly how I would have liked.

Also! In even bigger news. I WROTE A NEW SONG. For those of you that know me, I have been in a one year writing block(songwise). I haven’t been able to write a song in over a year, but the other night I wrote one and recorded it in about an hour. So here it is, I would love all of your feedback if you could give it to me.

And I apologize for the pisspoor formatting of this post, but its 3:30. I’m gonna go to bed.

I’m a Pirate.

So you may or may not remember me mentioning in December about how I felt 2 days before Christmas and totally messed up my tooth. Well I did, and the dentist told me I’d be good as new. It is not the case, as it just fell out of my mouth.

Yeah. I’m a fucking pirate.

I’m also freaking out and having a panic attack.  And I think I’m gonna go have a lot few to drink.

Not to Say I Like James Cameron..

But I forgot how much I liked Dark Angel. It kinda goes against everything that I believe in, liking a Fox show, but it was damn good. I don’t like the weird designation of “cyberpunk”, but while the writing of this show wasn’t the best, it makes up for it in coolness. Logan is my favorite character, for 2 reasons:

1. He is played by Michael Weatherly. Who is also on NCIS.
2. Broadcasts “Eyes Only” pirate messages out over the internet and TV. And is bad ass when he does it.

And I just really wish they had done more of it. But alas, no such luck.

What shows do you wish never got canceled?

Oh, and I’m going to do another Vlog tomorrow, give me something to talk about. It’ll be fun, I swear!

Why You(I) Shouldn’t Free Fall Back Into Your(My) Workout

So Austin and I decided to get back into the swing of things and went to the gym last night. This would have been a great idea, if I were not an idiot. You see, while I was in Boston for a month, I did not work out at all. The largest workout I got was the walk from the train station to work in the mornings, which was about a mile.

View Larger Map

Yeah, don’t judge. I did that to and from work.(I’m sad)

But yeah, we hit the gym and I was on the bike for about a half hour then decided to go lift. everything was going fine, until I decided to bench at 170(where I could before) I was able to make it through about 10 reps before my arms just wanted to fall off and die. So we went back upstairs, ate a cookie, had a drink and danced to some house music(don’t ask me how that started)

So needless to say, Andy feels like a big bundle of sore this morning. And yes, this story is pretty self explanatory, but if nothing else, this is my space to bitch and moan about everything vent

In other news, the semester has started, having a class with other science nerds is fantastic, and I am still without a job. I am also going back to bed.

Let’s Get It Started

Roommate Countdown Complete!! on 12seconds.tv

So, it is Monday morning and the new guy that was supposedly moving in did not show up in the middle of the night either, so my room is safe! This also means that we have room if anyone needs a place to crash for a night. Whoo.

My first class for the semester starts tonight, I have my lasers class, which is fun because I am…a big science nerd(At this point you should check to see if Grace made an oh so witty comment. Everything okay? Awesome.) But it also means that I will probably miss most if not all of 24 tonight, which sucks. But life goes on.

Also, go check out Rachel’s new comic blog. Shes awesome and has some great stuff up there so far. And check out her real blog because she’s giving away some REALLY cool stuff in regards to the comic blog. So just go get on that.

That reminds me! I was thinking about having a little contest of my own. I don’t have any really cool stuff, but I was thinking about doing something with mixtapes. Like, if you win, you get to pick 3 themes, and I’ll make you a CD for each one, or something like that. Or I could just buy something from target. Maybe I’ll do both! Oooooooh. Just let me know what you think, and if everyone thinks it’s stupid I’m not gonna do it.

Living with a Celebrity

So I just found out last night that I will in fact have a new roommate. Who is he you ask?

(I wish)

My roommate’s name is Robert Smith. And while, I’m fairly certain that the lead singer of The Cure(one of my favorite bands ever) is not moving into my crummy apartment, I can’t seem to get any information about my new roommate, so for the remainder of this post I will just assume that it is.

Robert Smith and I could wake up every morning around the crack of 10, both deeply sighing about how ‘meh’ the day is going to be. We would not care about each other’s personal appearance. I would make breakfast, and we would sit around listening to Joy Division.

Then at dinner time, he could cook. And after dinner we would enjoy a cocktail, exchange stories of unrequited love, and play Joy Division covers. We wouldn’t sleep at all. Well, not until the sun came up the next day at least.

Then We’d Do It All Over Again.

But seriously. It is impossible to contact this guy because Columbia won’t give me an email, and there are no Robert Smiths in the Columbia network. That leads me to Hope. And Pray. And Pray Some More that he changed his mind, and just hasn’t told the school yet. Cause I enjoy having the single room in this apartment WAY too much.

That’s enough of me for today. Just figured I’d try and post something substantial.

Hope everyone is doing great! Let me know whats new with you!

I’m Back, Bitches!

Let’s Just Forget Most of Yesterday’s Post.

So I posted yesterday about where I work, and I don’t want to delete that post, so I am just going to amend it.

I’m not working there. Ever again.

If you don’t follow my Twitter account, here is what happened yesterday.

It was my last day. And everything was pretty normal all day, but then 15 minutes before I leave, my boss called me into his office because he “wanted to talk”. See, if I’ve learned anything in the last few years, it’s that Dave NEVER wants to “just talk”, it’s always that I’ve done something wrong.  And not to talk shit of my boss, but whenever I’ve “done something wrong” it is not so much about telling me about it, its that I need a crash course in EVERYTHING I’ve ever done, as if I’ve never worked there in my life.

So I sit down, and he starts talking to me about my attendance. I was here for about a month, and I missed four days. Because of food poisoning and strep throat. And that was unacceptable.  And here comes the kicker,

If I can’t “take care of myself” then I will never make it in the television industry.

There we go. I should give up on my dream because he doesn’t think I can. And I know I shouldn’t care about this at all, my Twitter followers were awesome as always about having my back. It was just that this completely set me off. I got massively depressed as usual, becuase…that’s just what happens.

Something like this is going to stay in my mind for a while, especially when I’m someones boss. And when I have a real Emmy, I’m going to send an email and let my words tear apart his local Emmy.*

*I’ve also been nominated for a local Emmy. But I have higher aspirations.
