so my car got totally smoked by a truck tonight.
kinda sucks.

anyone wanna help drive my (and possibly Tony's) ass home from Hipster Twister tomorrow night?
thanks.

Is anyone else's mom going Christmas-crazy? Nothing says togetherness like guilt-tripping your children.

My back is finally starting to feel more normal. I'm not allowed to ride yet, or lift heavy things, but I can now go for as long as 5 hours without having to lie down to rest it. Yay!

Yeah, my dad got one of those. I got a very suspicious "what's this email about?" Fortunately, Snopes comes to the rescue.

yeah, right...

we'll keep the party bumpin' till you show

For those of you not going to trivia or the fabulous hipster twister, I have a soccer game tomorrow night at 9:15. (battle royal for the top spot in our division) after which I will be frequenting the Wunderbar. so for some pre twister entertainment let me know if any of yous be interested. ciao fo naio

mp3 blog of the past week: molars is hosting some great stuff, such as Animal Collective covers of Nirvana songs, and Blood Brothers outtakes from Crimes. that's pretty sweet.

i am now a member of the Hollertronix (diplo) messageboard:
this is how they roll

according to cool kid Kristin, there's a sweet NEW MARE track on the mare myspace

Wanna go to space?

Book your ticket onboard the VSS ENTERPRISE, launching 2008.

I'm totally gonna walk on the moon before I die. I so called it.

Now if only NASA would step up and start recruiting explorers, pioneers and settlers for lunar and martian colonies. I'd drop everything I'm doing right now to volunteer. Even if I didn't get paid, and it was basically torture for the rest of my life with no chance for returning to Earth, I would still be so happy to do it I would cry.

My insatiable wanderlust has nothing to do with earthly travel. Doesn't anyone else realize mankind was destined for life beyond our planet? I strongly believe that our sole purpose for existence is to explore the wonders of the universe. Should we fail to achieve this purpose, we will die. I can't say it any more succinctly. There's nothing romantic about it. If we don't develop the capacity for sustainable extra-terrestrial colonies, WE WILL ALL DIE.

As the adage goes, "don't keep all your eggs in one basket".

I would gladly sacrifice my life to extend our reach beyond the mother planet. I wish someone would give me the opportunity.


Unfortunately, I think I was born 150 years too early.
