subscribePudding idea
Sunday, August 31
(see previous post below). The best and only idea put forth so far: I think that means how it turns out....whether it's runny or thick...
What do you think?
What do you think?
In Response to Jeff,
Yes we have known each other quite a long time. I think it has something to do with the fact that sometime a group of people come together and have a real sense of community. A lot of people set up communities so they can have the same thing, join clubs, or go to events, but sometimes it happens naturally when people grow up together or when people meet with have a common brilliance that illuminates their individual identities also: to be less dramatic, it is kind of like how the incredients in a big plate of nachos are better than the ingrediants by themselves.
The Proof is in the Pudding
Does anyone out there know what that phrase ^ means? Seems a bit, odd.
Also, for those who wish to believe that drinking and smoking go together like White Russians and The Big Lebowski, go here: Real scientists: Red Wine Good for Smokers.
In other news, people in college evidently do not care what most people their age do. In Montana these students took the opportunity granted by "massive advertising" showing that the majority do not smoke and drink to take up these behaviors in even greater amounts. This just goes to prove what the Beastie Boys tried to teach us so very long ago about fighting for your right to... do something. I can't think straight, all this typing about smoking and drinking reminds me that I need to go have fun. To summarize: anti-smoking commercials just remind smokers that they may be low on cigarettes!, and only certain groups respond to mass advertising distractions. The rest of us get pissed or go get drunk. Man, I need a beer.

New Place
Saturday, August 30
Dear friend,
Well if anyone wanted pics of my new place, here they are. From top left clockwise: my kitchen, Dave's room-he is still out of town hence no furniture (not that he has anything but a futon), my room ripe with stuff, and the living room (if you could zoom in you could find my 16-bit Ninendo for later Zelda!). I am doing well, just finding stuff a home.
Cheers,

What a drag it is getting old. Things are different today.
The Bar
Friday, August 22
Reminiscing about our old server at The Dirt:
Him: "The last time I saw her I think I was hitting on her mom."
Us: "Her mom?!"
Him: "Yeah, it was 7 o'clock so it was pretty late." Wow.
But there is more. Everyone else had disappeared. And so he says to her mom:
"Your daughter is great, she brings us a lot of beer. Do you bring a lot of beer too?"

Oklahoma
Dear friend,
Well, I am in Oklahoma to visit friends before school begins for us all. Dierdre wants to be in charge of my next haircut so that I can benefit from the whole "spikey" look. We'll see. Deuce counters that he will shave my head for free. "You have the face for it, and the facial hair." I counter something about not being Aryan enough to look right with a shaved head. "It'll grow back in like month," an excellent point. But still. I'll go with Diedre and the spikiness before I'll shave my head. Call me old fashioned. Geddie and Travis both are recently single and have bonded over that. I picked a busy time to visit. Well, I wish my friends here and in Austin the best. Until next time.
Cheers,
Brent

Flouride vs. the Beatles
Wednesday, August 20
Found on a website titled, "Flouride, Good or Bad?"
The Beatles tried to warn us:
You say you all want fluoridation,
Well you know, you don't want to change your bones.
You tell us that it's no intrusion,
Well you know, we'd rather go eat scones.
So, is flouride good or bad? You decide. I'm going to go get a water filter myself.

Vinos Rossos!
Dear friend,
Hard choices face your humble narrator. I want to go visit home and see friends and a good friend of mine who recently was in a car accident, but school starts soon and I have much to do (see packing day). I will also miss Vinos Rossos!, which I have already bought wine for. Alas, I believe I must try and go home one last time, it will relax me. Wish me luck.

Brent

Packing day
Dear Friend,
Well, looks like it's time to pack again. I am surprised I have lived in Austin almost a full year now. Maybe it doesn't seem like just yesterday, but it also does not feel like a full year. Or maybe it seems like five years. I just know having a roommate will be nice. My need for autonomy is wearing off as I get older and know myself better. And the little things, like knowing where to get groceries (HEB or nowhere), where to see movies cheap (Highland 10) or with beer and nachos (Alamo Drafthouse), to where to eat (numerous places, all over, as often as possible), all add up to a confident feeling living on my own. Now to have more fun though, live closer to campus, and still work on the career stuff. But for now, packing and more packing, and then unpacking. Wish me luck.
Cheers,
Brent

What do you make of the following?
Joshua Jackson: I thought it would be really cool, to you know, have taps in every room
Later, Conan Obrien: You should come to my marshmellow room

Monday, August 18
Dear friend,
I decided to post something serious on my first day. I've always saved notable quotes and things I thought were funny or that impacted me in text files or in a paper-and-pencil journal (which I actually just started recently too). And I figured, why keep it all to myself. Feel free to contact me if you have a comment or if you want to send me hate mail. You know that no one can stop you. Feel free. Oh, and speaking of freedom, the Patriot Act is a bad bad idea.
Cheers,
Brent

I can't believe I watch Blind Date. Forgive me. I can't forgive myself.

For my first post I can't do "something completely different" so you will just have to settled for strange in it's own right.

Oh, we'll get you off that smack, oh yes we will
'Cause the smack will lead to crack oh yes it will
