I see suicide warnings on my dashboard. When in doubt, seek the guidance of those wiser than you. However don’t look towards E. Hemingway, S. Plath, D. F. Wallace, A. Turing, H. S. Thompson, R. Takaki, Cato The Younger, G. Deleuze, S. Freud, K Gödel or any of these other upstanding citizens, for guidance on such matters.
This is for obvious reasons.

I've been negotiating with Bank of the West for...
I can’t help but reminisce over the bank of yesteryear’s. Projects were so much easier to complete when you had indentured servants, no payrolls to complete or machinery to purchase. The bank was a near non-existent morose entity, they wanted your business and they sought it from the few who didn’t die of tuberculosis, small pox or the common cold. Times have changed though; the...

This is where I state something about the nature of my parents pending divorce (quoth the raven, snoreeee), my sisters 14th birthday celebration (celebrated tonight with karaoke & unlimited buckets of bottleneck Dos Equis), my sudden affinity towards sleep and the stark realization that perhaps not every chapter in Moby Dick has some profound, profane truth. Furthermore, I reveal...
A question I've never asked myself at Whole Foods
sharingtime:
“What’s that woman in dreads think she’s doing here?”
I’ll run with this and add a couple of statements that I’ve never said while grocery shopping at Whole Foods, “I can reasonably afford to buy everything that is organic and certified as such by the proper government agency.”
“I fit in here.”

the last time i drank coke was a long ass time ago ok!!!!!!!! but if you’re talking about the “otha” “stuff” then for shame child.
before i inform the internet of my strange and loserish ways, lemme just state that i don’t care what people do and that you should do...
I forget that since this is my personal blog that I am allowed to write as I please. This is why I am going to create a new persona, the seafaring lad from California with a JD, MBA and PhD from the University of Phoenix online. He is very single, maintains a Jason Segel-like demeanor, the Jason from Forgetting Sarah Marshall, and innocently places himself in dilemma’s that can only arise...

“Sleeping is giving in, no matter what the time is.”
“Sleeping is giving in, so lift those heavy eye lids.”
Lately I’ve been carrying around a solid copy of Herman Melville’s masterpiece, Moby Dick, in my luggage. I rarely have time to open the book except for a few brief moments before I shut my eyes for the night. It’s unfortunate and rather fortunate...
I’m a bit fatigued. I awoke at 6 am to arrive at work on-time for a change and it’s now 3:11 am. I didn’t sleep in between, nor did I consume any energy enhancing beverages. My youngest sister just now fell asleep after tinkering with the Easy Bake Oven I purchased for her. If you must know, yes we badly burned the cake we tried to easily bake. Before she went to bed she left...

Humoring a nonexistance entity makes me god.
The senesance of a fallen god gives any person the right to claim his fallacy as his own.
With me there is a god.
Without me he holds no power.
You cling on to archaic understandings of terms like a Luddite clutches his shovel or a scholar to his dying sesquipedalian vernacular. Name it what you will, willful ignorance or meek...

If we’re going to consider On the Road a classic, I suppose we should also include the Da Vinci Code and Twilight.
How fucking dare you compare On the Road to the Da Vinci Code and Twilight.
You’re right. The Da Vinci Code and Twilight are really more in league with Shakespeare.
Amen, don’t forget to include any and all works by Malcolm...
Haiku for Wednesday, December 23rd 2009.

When it comes to sex,
I have apology cards. Most men brag and boast, I have a Mad Libs like statement of no regret.
Dear Insert Name of Female and/or Beast,
I regret nothing but I am very sorry. I am very sorry because I shouldn’t have cried as I climaxed nor should I have repeatedly yelled, bah humbug and/or Merry Christmas throughout our intimate moments. In summation, I am very sorry but I regret nothing.

I write all of my notes backwards, this way I work twice as hard to translate them later and in this manner, ensure that the their contents are cemented in my brain. I started doing this in elementary school, I’ve perfected the craft in the subsequent 12 years. I tried doing this for a personal journal but I always lost my journals.
I can taste the fear.
I like to preface conversations with references to...
Luis: Hey the last time I saw you the King of England had just ratified the Magna Carta, hey yo!

Well, dear reader, when the Black Eyed Peas song “I Gotta Feeling” comes on and the line, “Fill up my cup/Mazel tov” is sung…
YOUR ENTIRE FUCKING COMPANY POINTS AT YOU.
How is this acceptable? If “Kung Fu Fighting” came on and we all pointed at the Asian people, that would be inappropriate!
And we’d also run out of hands with which to point.
What a curiously precarious position...

People are being mean to me and it hurts.
Why do we hurt? A vestigial trait of natural selection’s seemingly meaningless method of ensuring survival for future generations, but why? You can make an argument about the necessity of emotions in caring/nurturing broods but at the heart of this is our need to mourn. Why do we hurt inside? Why do we pine when we know all hope is...
Should e-Books Be Copy Protected? →
infoneernet:
My publisher, O’Reilly, decided to try an experiment, offering one of my Windows books for sale as an unprotected PDF file.
After a year, we could compare the results with the previous year’s sales.
The results? It was true. The thing was pirated to the skies. It’s all over the Web now, ridiculously easy to download without paying.
The crazy thing was, sales of the book did not...
I’m just trying to regain my groove.
