okay, maybe i post too much (too much meaning twice already) about Harvey Milk, but that’s okay. verbally, i declare quite often that this is the greatest album title of all time: “My Love Is Higher Than Your Assessment Of What My Love Could Be” . . . but that’s the first time i ever [...]

After some random web surfing this afternoon, I came across a couple blogs that had various posts regarding new city-built skateparks that don’t allow bikes. I seriously can not believe this is still an issue. I guess since I don’t ride skateparks anymore, I kind of forgot that this kinda discrimination still exists.

not that it hasn’t been busy, because it’s been a purty packed week, but i can’t believe it’s only thursday, and only like almost 5:00. it feels like it should be 10pm some day next week, or something.

okay, this blows… my sincerest apologies for another MP3-less week. it’s been impossible finding the time, but i *think* after next weekend that’ll all change. so, like, how apologetic am i? i am soooo apologetic, i’m gonna post some of the BEST [read: worst] lyrics from the best band (most awesome) in the whole world . . [...]

The other day i got a comment on one my posts, which doesn’t happen very often [hardly ever]. Sometimes i get one from alec, and every once in a while i get one from people i don’t know (thanks rob, i liked those pics, too), but the other day’s comment, from someone i know very well, [...]

So, the other day I sorted the music in my iTunes by play-count, and these are the top 75 most played songs… Some of them I find to be questionable, but I reckon the computer ain’t gonna lie like that. 
Here we are — the top 75:
Awesome Color – Grown
The Beatles – Golden Slumbers / Carry [...]

a few months ago i had the privilege of seeing 1 and a half Harvey Milk shows when i was working a job in the San Francisco area. i say 1 and a half because one of em was an in-store performance with only Crestin playing acoustically, and the other one was the real deal at some [...]
