My Bike
Currently this is my bike:
It is a single speed Centurion Accordo RS, I converted it myself and I am very proud of it. Today I bought some new rims…
As well as a new rear hub which supports flip-flopage. Needless to say I am pretty damn excited. Also I got it all for around 70 dollars, which is a hell of a deal.
Downside: I have to lace/true them.
If it was summer...
I would possibly go for a run right now.
Aspirations
I wish I was more collected. I wish I was cultured. I wish I had solid opinions about film, or music. I wish I was vastly knowledgeable in any given subject. I wish I had a bigger vocabulary. I wish I excelled at anything. I wish I was artistic, could play an instrument well or compose a masterpiece. I wish I had the capacity to write a novel inside me. I wish I was the dreamboat every girl...

My friend Marai and I recorded this in my basement...
My dog,
Just pooped in the house.
I pretended like I didn’t see it.
The Cutest Thing I Have Ever Seen →
Since I am on directors
The Coppola family is just incredible. Fancis Ford of course does the Godfather films, Apocalypse Now, the outsiders, etc. Sofia, the only american women to ever be nominated for an academy award, did The Virgin Suicides, Lost in Translation, and Marie Antoinette (which I think is very underrated). She also has the alias of Domino, which is a pretty interest choice. Not to mention she is kinda a...

Charlie Kaufman
I think he may possibly be my favorite director. After watching Adaptation I have fallen in love with his introspective self pity. His exploration of self loathing and pathetic characters is so vulnerable and appealing for some reason. I guess I have only really seen his “hits” so I will have to delve deeper and see everything he has done. I do feel Synechdoche, NY is to Kaufman as...
when I die
I hope that I have massive apocalyptic visions of impressive grandeur.

My 1st DJ set!
Officially did my frist DJ set today at a sports bar at 9 o’ clock, so there was about 4 34 year old married couples in the establishment. Dropped some Holy Ghost! on thier asses including the remix of Lisztomania by Phoenix, Passion Pit, Classixx, Golden Filter, etc. Feel like the crowd possible didnt “get it”. I did see some bearded man, age aprox. 43, bobbing his...

Were/thoughts on Jersey Shore/ a Post Script
I wish I could use the word were instead of was in all instances, I think it is just a much classier sounding word. Was looks cheap were looks eloquent.
“Women are definitely a game”

This show might be a satire, but the people involved have no idea that it is, which possibly makes it genius. Maybe it isnt though, maybe MTV just knows that tons of...

Invisible Audience
I think you are just supposed to assume that you have a huge following and all your words are important in a blog, but my mp3 did get six plays last night so apparently someone read this. Chris Henry apparently died, so did Oral Roberts a little while ago, looks like 2k9 wanted to take a few more celebrities down with it before it was done.
MP3 of the moment: Miike Snow: Song For No One
This is my first "tumble"
Blogging is pretty weird, I am no where near funny/creative and/or important enough to have an entire limitless slate to put down my thoughts and images on as apposed to a status or a tweet. I really feel like this will just turn into a combo of livejournal and hipsterrunoff. Totes going to take advantage of the multimedia aspect of tumblr too. This is me:
