Too Much Time On My Hands

June 27, 2005

Maybe it was the Seattle Pride Parade yesterday. Maybe it was whimsy. Maybe I was just hella bored and needed something to do. Whatever the reason, I shaved my chest this morning and this is the lovely result!

This ad space could be yours!!
It was strictly a razor thing so it’ll probably hurt [...]

Finals Talk

June 23, 2005

Alright, congratulations to the Spurs for getting the Game 7 victory over Detroit and winning the title. San Antonio was the consensus favorite at the beginning of the year (especially when they got Barry) and they rolled fairly easily through the playoffs until they hit the Pistons.

Last year, the Lakers were also the consensus favorite [...]

Visiting the Gurudwara

June 19, 2005

My boss asked me what event could possibly lure me to a Sikh temple in Renton, 25 miles from where we work and, in a stroke of good fortune, 0.5 miles from where he lives. An answer wasn’t entirely clear, although because I’ve convinced myself that I’m not social enough, I never decline an [...]

Smooth Criminal

Michael Jackson leaving courthouse with unidentified body double.
I’ve gotta admit, I really thought Mike was going down this time. The behavior we’ve heard about him and the kids and families is just so outrageous. Also, I felt his fame had diminished to a point where it would no longer insulate him from the [...]

The Reward is Worth the Effort

June 13, 2005

There are many things I want in a girlfriend and (presumably) many things I can offer. But with so much pickup basketball going on during the weekday nights and weekend afternoons, two things that are at once trivial and important have gotta be part of the deal: she’s gotta hook up the back massage [...]

What’s Shakin’?

June 8, 2005

Take a look around outside or think back in your mind’s eye about how men under age 35 greet each other. Does a single ritual come to mind? To narrow it down, think of, say…any jock types or guys enmeshed in hip-hop culture. Their greeting and farewell is more than a wave [...]

Audio on the Way

June 6, 2005

Damn Pistons. I swear, when Shaq hit those two giant free throws with about 3 minutes to go in the 4th, I had no doubt Miami was gonna win it. This would have been a career-shaping title even for a player who is already one of the all-time greats. Oh well.
Here at [...]

How Many Days Until Halloween?

June 6, 2005

This photo is provided to you so that you can see my progress in trying to look like Green Lantern. John Stewart is the image that came to mind when I looked in the barber’s mirror this afternoon, but I see now that I’ve got to let the ’stache drop a little more on [...]

Ode of Sorts

June 6, 2005

Oh yeah. I for sure want to live in Seattle for a coupla years, at least. Start my career, make a little bit of $$, further establish my connections and just get to know this place more intimately. The subject comes up because soon I’ll be at a crossroads, deciding what to [...]

Ugh

June 4, 2005

Goddamn spitting toilets.
And the waterfree ones all over Seattle do nothing to eliminate the oppressive scent of urine. Or maybe it’s just my imagination. There’s gotta be a balance somewhere.
