“If your pro-life, don’t lock arms and block abortion centers; lock arms...”

Records
I’m always getting called “lame” or “backwards” for still buying CD’s and vinyl records, I never really had a response to any of that, I usually just took the remarks like a blow to the gut. Until now…
Have you ever gotten home so tired that you lacked the energy to do anything? The kind of tired where you just throw your jacket on the floor, kick your...

– Yes, I quoted myself. I stand by this.

Jack Kerouac's Belief & Technique For Modern Prose
Scribbled secret notebooks, and wild typewritten pages, for your own joy Submissive to everything, open, listening Try never get drunk outside your own house Be in love with your life Something that you feel will find its own form Be crazy dumbsaint of the mind Blow as deep as you want to blow Write what you want bottomless from bottom of the mind The unspeakable visions of the individual No time...
I am not a hotel.
& even if I was, you’d still have to check-in.
Mixtapes
I take mixtapes very very seriously. I plan them, draft them, and even test them multiple times until I get them JUST RIGHT! There’s alot that goes into a mixtape, of all the infinite number of songs that are out there you have to pick ten (anything over ten is pushing it) that completely convey what your trying to say. Doesn’t that sound daunting? I don’t know why...
Chowdown
Tonight I had a conversation (or better yet, argument) about:
Religion
Government
Society
Personal issues
Love
Throughout the whole convo, we didn’t agree on a single thing. It almost got heated, I was calling him condescending, he was calling me stubborn and opinionated; which are both very true statements.
I must say, it was fun.
WatchIn The Room Where You Sleep by Dead Man’s Bones
Points if you can notice who the heavily heralded (especially with the ladies) actor turned lead singer is; WITHOUT GOOGLING IT!
Kimya Dawson
SUCKS! For the most part.

Good Morning
There’s no better morning than the “waking up after a make-out dream” morning. It just peps you up for the day. The one I had last night was considerably strange, and gross, but the culmination of it (the make-out) was perfect, and left the most lasting impression.
This is a timeline of the dream:
I’m in my bathroom popping pimples and blackheads. Yuck. They’re...

Sworn
Ok, ok, ok, can all the Obama talk stop already. I mean, seriously, it’s only a watershed event in American history, we’re only breaking down social boundaries. We do NOT need to be constantly talking about this guy, I mean, he’s only the face of the nation. Geez, stop, PLEASE STOP!
I’m just mad I missed it.
Le Bible
I’m probably the least religious person you will ever meet; I fear God only in that if his kingdom of heaven does happen to be real, I’m screwed. Today though, I’ve been a bit of a sloth (thanks to last minute plan cancellations.) So I’ve been reading my grandmothers copy of the bible in Spanish. I feel good about this because:
A) I get to brush up on my spanish...
A Sequence Of Chords
I don’t know why I sometimes choose to play guitar than be with you. I can’t gain a thing from that wretched instrument. Nothing but long nights spent scribbling down all the thousand voices that I have found, but for some reason the two do not translate. It’s like I’m speaking in a foreign tongue, and the strings are lacking the energy to take down...
CSS
I didn’t know you had to pay for the CSS! What! The! ****! I probably should’ve known this, but it’s still shockingly annoying. The College process is turning into the most time-consuming (and most expensive) process I’ve ever been in. EVERY LITTLE THING has to be paid for; unless your lucky enough to get a fee waiver, but then again, is it really that lucky?
...
Two Things
I’ve finally realized how it feels to have someone you’ve never seen, or never even heard of (Yet would like to!!!) reblog you, even follow you. It’s everything from flattering to frightening all at once. Oh, I’m kidding no one, you know I enjoy this. I’m just curious as to how it could’ve happened.
Roman is the go-to guy for anything tech related....
Linux
So I’m thinking about converting to Linux. Wait. I WANT to convert to Linux, but there are a couple of significant hurdles stopping me.
There are no audio interfaces for recording sound that are compatible with Linux. I’ve already found a good music editing software in Jokosher, but I have yet to find any audio interfaces compatible with the OS. Sadly, the Inspire 1394 I have is...

How many different types of giggles can there be?
“the number 143 means `I love you.’ It takes one letter to say...”
– Mr. Rogers speaking about his weight, which he has maintained at 143 pounds for the past 31 years.
What. The. Fuck?
i fe el veryveryveryveryveryveryve ryvry overwhelmed by everything. it ’ s nothing to cry about, but it’s still enough to annoy me. i mean, i’m usually (not) one to worry & fuss. so why start now? why even bother? is it self- righteousness , or just so nobody talks? i don’t know i don’t care i’ll deal. i usually

“Having a bunch of cats around is good. If you’re feeling bad, you just look at...”
– Charles Bukowski on cats (via smut-to-go) (via scout) (via butseriously)
True.
(via capucha)
Bone Palace Ballet was fantastic Mr. Bukowski, but I must disagree with you here. Cats can kill, it’s known.
“If someone like him where alive and well, I would wish him the exact opposite.”

Least Nutritional Midnight Snack
Leftover instant noodle from two hours before (Still cold)
Half a pitcher of iced tea
Half a bag of potatoe chips
A banana
A bunch of chocolate covered cherries
Water
Notice how almost all of it is leftovers, and none of it is nutritional.
My body is most definitely not a temple.

Me (eating while humming a tune): Natalie, my name is Tristan, and I am alive.
Natalie (figuring out how to spell rectangular prism): Good to know!
Classical Music
I’ve just realized how great classical music is for working. It isn’t distracting, yet energizing enough to make you carry on. It’s a good energy though, not an “I want to punch you!” type of energy, more like a “I can do this!” energy. It’s specifically perfect for programming, especially if you program like I do, with alot of swearing and...
“One time I went for a run, and I got a side stitch, and it hurt SO BAD! So I...”
– Me, when I’m tired.
“You liking me back is enough for me.”
– Don’t you wish life was always that simple?
Careers
You know how everyone sets their colleges into a tier list? each, good schools, and safety’s. Well, I wonder, why can’t we do the same with careers? It’s definitely more interesting than a school list, and it also doubles as a good life-planner.
Safety:
Someone’s assistant. Surprisingly, I make a good butler. I don’t mind getting someone’s laundry, or...
Despite being droogies on Wednesday, this week has turned out to be a bad week. Optimism is not allowing this to bother me yet.

This guy obviously has either frayed taste, or does not know of much music. Oh well, to each his own, I’ll just settle with my own list.

On Procrastination Part 2
Me: Frickin asians man! Always traveling in packs.
Kath: What? Aren't you supposed to be writing? What are you doing?
Me: NOTHING! I'M NOT ON FACEBOOK RIGHT NOW!
Kath: You're seriously going to fail at life if you keep up the same work ethic.
On Procrastination Part 1
Me: You ever had the experience where you had to write something, and it was like pulling teeth? Then you read it and you think it's complete and utter garbage?
Kath: Uh oh, isn't that like the only thing your good at? Come on! Your supposed to be a writer!
Me: Just because I'm good at it doesn't mean it has to come easy! You know, comments like that just add up the pressure on me. My valve is sure to burst!
Kath: You've been reading too many books lately.
FYI: I hate Ignatius J. Reilly
