My heart goes out to Adam Horovitz, and it was great that he was so honest and unrestrained in this interview. For me this was the best part:

mewithoutYou were recently interviewed about their new album and discussed how the material in it seems more secular than the band’s last few releases. You can read the full interview here or a snippet below by clicking “Read More.”

I like that this band is deviating from themes of “faith” on their next record. There is absolutely nothing wrong with...

Over-sharing, Facebook, and my e-Life
For the first time ever, I actually blocked someone that I considered a friend (at one point) on Facebook. He shared information from conversations (that did not occur on Facebook) both on Facebook and with his coworkers, and he shared a bunch of private conversations that he had (with date stamps and names) from an altercation with other people several months ago as part of a Facebook note.

Getting Better and Getting Worse
So for the first time since I got the flu back in April I’m breathing normally, and I’m only coughing sporadically. I’m really excited, because I can spend more time outdoors (when the pollen count isn’t out of control), and do more physical things without getting winded. I’ve gained about 5lbs just from being so sedentary from my breathing problems, and it’s a...

Straight Male Friends: I Am Not Your Territory to...
Dear Straight Male Friends and Acquaintances,
This has been bothering me for a while, and I haven’t figured out a way to say this elegantly, so I’m just going to say it:
I am not your territory to claim.
Almost six months ago I started going out to bars, clubs, and music venues regularly again. The last time I went out regularly, I lived in Pennsylvania (State College,...

feurety replied to your post: How Do I Hide the Stupid From My Facebook Feed?
I wish there was a way to filter certain posts and not just hide everything on facebook.
And if you start hiding too many things, you run the risk of missing something important. Despite the fact that I’ve hidden several pages that people are sharing information from, there’s no way for me to filter out...

How Do I Hide the Stupid From My Facebook Feed?
Facebook raises my blood pressure. I friended the vast majority of the people on there for a reason. Most of them are real meatspace friends from various points in my life. Some are cyberspace friends who I thought were worth my time. I don’t want to un-friend more people than I do on a regular basis, but unless I learn to hide the stupid from my feed, that may be my only option.
There are...

PBR will always remind me of college and Seattle. Lol
Every sip was like hot buttered hell, but I paid for it, so I finished it. :)

Why I Don't Grok Gen-Y
So I saw Dan “Soupy” Campbell from The Wonder Years drop this bit of wisdom on Twitter, and I had to share it an expand on it from my POV. Before I start, I just wanted to say that while I enjoyed both Wonder Years albums (“Upsides” was better in my opinion), I don’t consider myself a “fan,” but I think he occasionally drops knowledge worth thinking...

All of the Update
So I’m slowly catching up with all things domestic. I also managed to sell both the Canon 7D and BlackBerry 9800 I posted about here. That money will put a significant dent in what I owe on the 5D Mark III and the other gear I bought.
My next big move is to clean and rearrange the furniture, and make a REALLY serious attempt to sell my comic book collection this time. I love my comics, but...

Haha, it only happens to me with people I know. Sometimes, if you pretend like your music is so loud that you just can’t hear them, they get the point and walk away…it’s definitely a regional thing, an interpretation of “southern hospitality”
It happens to me with people on the street, and it annoys me. I...

mrbarkey replied to your post: I Wear These Headphones For A Reason
Perhaps they don’t think you appear all that focused..if you really don’t want people to talk to you in sweet old friendly nc, you have to pair the headphones with a proper facial expression that says “don’t talk to me, I’ll bite your head off”, haha
I’m from Queens. I look like that all the time. It still doesn’t...

I Wear These Headphones For A Reason
What about me wearing headphones don’t you get people of North Carolina? I’m wearing headphones. I’m listening to something other than you, because I prefer to listen to that something than listen to you.
I’m standing at the corner waiting for the light to change, and you come up to me and start a conversation about nothing. If you don’t need directions or help,...

BOOM! Sold! Unlocked BlackBerry Torch 9800 (Red)...
I am selling my dad’s BlackBerry Torch 9800 (Red) in mint condition (hardly used). It comes in the original box with all parts and documentation, and I’m throwing in a 32GB MicroSD card, and a leather flip case.
It is listed at $275, but I will accept a reasonable offer.
This is a steal for an unlocked GSM phone with no contract and an additional 32GB card. If you saw this deal...

Playing Domestic Catch-up
I’ve been neglecting my condo. It looks like the war for Middle Earth was waged in my living room. This is not acceptable. Right now I’m both cleaning my dining room and getting a bunch of things ready for sale on eBay and Amazon. It’s more like Spring Purging than Spring Cleaning around here. I’ll feel better when it’s all over.
I’ll post links to some of the...

alright it looks like i’m done with tumblr’s fat acceptance community
even though it was what sparked my journey towards accepting my own body and encouraging others to do the same, it’s been bastardized into a haven for narcissists and attention cravers and it’s crawling with fat fetishizers without boundaries as a result.
it’s to the point that i’m being sexualized just for...

I’ve got one or two more photosets to post today or tomorrow, so I won’t be flooding you guys with photos for much longer. I’m really excited that people seem to like the pics, and that both Every Avenue and Follow Your Hero liked my pics enough to reblog them.
Expect a set of pics from The Early November soon.
