YYYYEAH.



So it's been two weeks since I said I'd update every week. Sorry 'bout that, y'awll.

This past week was Spring Break and SXSW. I didn't get a wristband or anything. It was just me and three, sometimes four friends going to free shows around Austin. Was really awesome, duh.

If you are a cool person, you recognize that burly comedian in the picture with me and a couple o'friends as Eugene Mirman. Look at us standin' there. We're practically twins.

If you're NOT a cool person, get cool now. (You're welcome.)

In all seriousness though, it was so much fun. One of my best Spring Breaks ever.

Found a quote today that I really needed to read.

I think everybody should get rich and famous and do everything they ever dreamed of so they can see that it's not the answer. ~Jim Carrey


I've just been questioning what it is I want to attain at the end of my senior year of college, only a couple years away. It's too easy to forget what gives life quality. A big pillar of the culture I've been raised in, and in fact, in most cultures, is financial stability. That makes sense, of course. But it's emphasized so relentlessly, we think more money invariably equates to better life quality. At least at some point in our lives, and not just for a day. It's difficult to reject that ideal when it's constantly and consistently being reinforced. Things like that quote help to remember reality.

Anyhow, Happy Go-Back-To-School-You-Miscreant-Kids Week!

I love Eugene Mirman! Sounds like you had a good spring break. I did, too. I got to meet all of The Flaming Lips and Evangelicals.

...I think you win. That's really awesome. Glad all the cool and famous people people came out of their caves this spring break!

It was great. I wasn't going to brag, but four close friends and me were on-stage dancers in Yo Gabba Gabba costumes. It was very wonderful. I'm sure that as a whole SXSW was far superior to NX35, though. I was glad to see a couple of my favorite bands.

Yeah! I totally saw pictures of those costumes. They were pretty amazing, I must confess. Glad our Spring Breaks were chalk full o'greatness.

..Still think you win, though.
