thanksgiving
Mikey came home
Saw my Grandmother for the first time after my grandfather died
Ate a lot of pizza
Saw IU beat Michigan 3 nill in the freezing cold.
Saw Ashley and AJ

school starts back up tomorrow, and we only have two or three weeks left of the semester. pretty fucking wild.

The entire situation in India sucks and it's going to be more difficult for Muslims in India, and around the world.

I never really liked this movie, but what an awesome scene

Ghida Fakhry is my new famous crush.
Al-Jazeera anchor, great interviewer, brains, and beauty. Marry me.

We Are Dead Stop

from a different angle and a new clip from the last Dead Stop show. the audio quality is sub par but Lino's intensity makes Henry Rollins look weak.

this is the only video of this song and it's not studio recorded anywhere... i have a good version from a live show he (Cory Branan) did with Ben Nichols in the summer of '07...


this is probably the best version of this song i've found...

so i'm sitting outside my classroom waiting for a review session in about an hour just wasting time before and a classroom door next to where i'm sitting is open and they're watching "Thank You For Smoking".
Very excited to sit here and "watch" this movie for the next hour. fuck yes.
"you know that guy who can pick up any girl? i'm him... ON CRACK"

also for those who either don't know (maybe if i didn't talk to you for about six months after October 20th, 2007) or those who forgot... Morrissey and I held hands... watch it here (around 2:08... i'm wearing the long sleeved brown shirt and point my finger right after the embrace and eye contact ends...)

the hold steady was thursday night. i ended up getting in with Wolfey's ID (he's 26, looks nothing like me and about three inches taller than me)

how a Resurrection really feels

this weekend included:
pizza three times... there goes the diet
watching the pacers
eating indian food
playing indoor soccer for three hours today with the turks
having a headache from not eating
eating a fresh taco salad to subside my headache


an oldie but a goodie

it's been a minute.
cool things that have happened:
a black dude is the president elect
i am no longer sick as shit
i saw this:

See more funny videos at Funny or Die

i've drunk a large amount of orange juice in the last week
the hold steady is tomorrow night... here's to me hoping i get in!


things that aren't so cool that have happened:
i decided to start eating healthier... i think this means pizza once every other week
i haven't done really much homework (aside from writing a paper) this week... at all.

so i've been really really sick over the last few days and in my limited waking hours i've been watching interviews with Tracy Morgan. He is, probably the funniest man to ever walk the earth. Dude is always talking about "getting females pregnant."
another of my favorite quotes is "Females are like the third rail on the train track. You respect that rail."
What?

my weekend
Friday:
-didn't go to class in the AM. Felt really sick with a gnarly sore throat.
-drove to Indy and went to Al-Fajr
-met up with Scott and went to Yats
-drove around and littered on people's yards who had McCain signs
-went to the show
-I drank six and a half red bulls
-went home and probably had a mild heart attack and almost died

Saturday
-India Garden
-drove back to Bloomington and watched Marseille at the Uptown Cafe
-sat in my room until BB King played
-King ruled but I started to feel really sick again
-rode home and went to bed

Sunday
-felt like I was going to die when I woke up
-somehow found the energy to walk to my car and drive to CVS to get tons of meds
-watched TV shows on the internet all day and night
-ate Amy's No Chicken Noodle Soup and drank lots of Gatorade

One of my favorite people doing a fantastic interview
