28 DAY WRITING CHALLENGE: Day 10
Write about your family
My Dad: In maybe the 1st or 2nd grade, everybody in the class had to fill out a questionnaire about themselves. One question asked “Who are your heroes?” and after (miss-spelling) both Arnold Schwarzenegger and Jean-Claude Van Damme - I put my dad. And if I had to answer the same question today, I still would put him on it.
When I was a kid, if my dad told...

George Lucas Says Han Never Shot First | Badass Digest
I honestly don’t understand the how George Lucas, of all people, just doesn’t get it!
In the interview, Lucas says: “[people] wanted Solo (who seemed to be the one who shot first in the original) to be a cold-blooded killer, but he actually isn’t. It had been done in all close-ups and it was confusing about who did what...

'Alcatraz' needs to change their plot progression
From all 4 episodes I’ve seen, this seems to be how most of them (all but the sniper one) play out:
Alcatraz Prisoner/Guard from 1963 mysteriously shows up in present day, confronts someone (usually a security guard), escapes.
“Fiesty” Lady-cop orders/eats Chinese food, gets a call that someone’s been assaulted, leaves Chinese food behind.
Lady-cop talks to Dr Hurley for...

Look up new words in the dictionary, use them in your writing
I know this says ‘dictionary’ but all I can think about now is that episode of FRIENDS when Joey used the thesaurus to write a recommendation letter for Chandler & Monica so that they could adopt a baby.
“Signed, baby kangaroo Tribiani…”
I guess if I had to get this started with a word to...

Write about your week
This week was mostly a downer. Mostly.
Sure - I had fun with my friends, and then the Giants won the Superbowl (UTTER GLEE!) But those were merely distractions from everything that had already happened earlier in the week…

28 DAY WRITING CHALLENGE: Day 06
Write your goals for the near future, and your big lifetime goals.
Define a “goal”, cause eating something I saw on an episode of Man VS Food is pretty high up on my list of things to do - while some people think that’s a pretty dumb thing to aim for in life…
I guess the nearest goal and questionably easiest would be to design a shirt for Threadless with the goal of...

ARE YOU READY FOR SOME FOOTBALL !? WHERE MY HORNS AT !??
Well you should be, because it’s Super Bowl Sunday !!
Ahhh it’s that time of the year again. I’ve always liked the Super Bowl, for about as long as I can remember actually knowing of its existence, possibly ever since NFL Gameday 96 on the Playstation One. I could never...

Write a letter to your future self
Hey Future Me
Are there flying cars yet!? If not - then Now Me is going to be pissed…
SO, how is everything? I hope this finds you well.
Wherever in the world you’re reading this, I wish that it is a thousand miles away from where I, Now Me/Past You, is typing this. In the apartment where the only window in the room directly faces the adjacent...

Tattoo TV show round-up time !
Ink Master - Episode 03
Things boil over as the contestants start going at each other. Al Fliction, the winner picked in this week’s Skills Challenge, angered the other contestants who didn’t agree with what the judges saw. But seeing as one of the judges is Dave Navarro - I doubt that anyone sees the world how he does (HINT: Quaaludes + black-tar heroin)
Al is the second kind of...

28 DAY WRITING CHALLENGE: Day 03
Write about random thoughts you had during the day.
I’ll write them as and when I get them all day today…
Why do they call it the “Mid West”? I know there’s a “West” (Wild, Wild West, How The West Was Won, TQ’s “Westside”, etc), and the whole of North America is considered “THE” West (East vs West, etc) - but then that...

Write a poem.
Shipwrecks
Our souls are shipwrecks, That have not settled yet; Battered by forces While sailing Life’s courses On paths and decisions we’ve set.
With the wind in our sails, And guided by our stars; We tighten the lines Whilst losing precious time Through the pain and the hurt and the scars.
On a pillow of sand, And a mouthful of salt Burdened with weight we sink;...

28 DAY WRITING CHALLENGE: Day 01
Write about yourself.
The truth is - I hate writing about myself…
Whenever I write about myself, I always worry that I end up coming across as grandiose or something far worse which is not my intention at all, but its just because with a computer I have a thesaurus instantly on hand to jazz up whatever I’m writing in the attempt to make it better to read (I didn’t have to look...

I just watched 12 episodes of House (season 1) in a row. So now I’m pretty sure that there’s something medically wrong with me.
Also, this thought just randomly popped into my head: “What if I go to sleep, and never wake up?”
What if I died in my sleep. There is literally a million ways that something like that could happen, and I wouldn’t even know if it did. The...

NY INK Update: 1 step forward, 2 steps back
Again, the “reality tv” trappings have thrown this episode to the ground and just curb-stomped it.
A client came in to get a tattoo (I literally just watched the show and I’ve already completely forgotten what she got… think it a kid on a cloud above a city, or something) Anyway! The client was a social worker for inner-city kids. They, as in most cases, shine brightest in...

“When I eat, it is the food that is scared”
– Ron Swanson
It’s now 06:55am…
I listened to some internet radio on my iPod, I washed the dishes, I cleaned the shower floor, I de-clogged the shower drain, I cleaned the toilet, I watched an episode of ‘How To Make It In America’ season 2 on my iPod, I read 3 whole chapters of ‘Catch 22’, I explained in an email to Jellaby why they call it “The Mexican Wave”...
I don’t get it. I fell asleep for like 5 minutes while watching a YouTube video, so when I woke up, I quickly turned off everything so that I could *finally* go to bed at a reasonable time (1am)
That was over 2 and a half hours ago. And I’m STILL awake. Something’s wrong…

INK MASTER Update: Shit just got real(ity tv-ish...
I commented about watching the first episode of Spike TV’s new Ink Master reality show. And today I watched the second.
What immediately brought me into possibly getting into this series were the “skill challenges” thrown at the contestants, and in this episode they had to do pinwork on a car. Each contestant randomly pulled from a bag a set of keys corresponding to each car,...
THIS makes me very sad… and hungry.
