I hate that law so much. Ever since that FML stuff came out, I've been trying to be more optimistic, but it's soooo hard. I know many of my friends and family are looking for jobs, and the government won't extend their pay. Times are hard, and it's really hard to start looking the other way.

i've been in a weird slump of a whirlwind. awkward to have insanity mixed in with the odd lazy calm, right?i feel like i've been doing so many things, i've neglected myself and the value of relaxation and boredom in the process. i've been so productive that i can't remember what it's like to chill, relax, and have free time and do whatever the hell i want. instead, i'm up and about, going from

now's a good a time as any, i suppose. i'm currently sitting in a hotel room in anaheim, wondering to myself what the future will hold for someone like me. i currently have very mixed feelings a-brewin' inside my gut, and i have no idea what to do about them. i'm tired, i'm confused, i'm angry, i'm depressed, and i'm hungry. well, i know what to do about the hunger, but that's easy.let me back up

It is nearly five in the morning, and I cannot sleep, because I just saw a two hour and forty minute movie at 12:30am that is still eating away at my mind.Everyone keeps writing and saying "Who watches the Watchmen? WE DO!" like it's funny. It's not really. I guess it's fun to say or something but all I can think is STOP STEALING LINES FROM A BELOVED ARTISTIC WORK GOD DAMMIT! This usually

For the record I didn't ask Jake to do a list this year. I completely forgot. So for the moment he's a lying liar that's full of lies. But that's okay, I enjoyed his post anyway.My problem is that I refuse to make a top ten list until I have seen all the movies I want to see. So far I haven't seen a bunch of films, including The Wrestler, Frost/Nixon, and Man on Wire. Until this quota is met

So it’s that time of year again [cutting it pretty close too]. Here’s my favorites of the year. It’s largely the same as most other best of lists you’ll read this year, but O’Malley bugs me to write these things and it’s not like it’s hard or anything. I’m trying something a bit different this year. Instead of writing up every fucking thing in every fucking category, I’m just going to present

I don't know where it went but last Spring somewhere in between paying for lunch and walking to my office a half a block away it was gone.

So I been feeling a little down lately about a lot of things lately, not the least of which is the state of the world. I'm sure we've all become familiar with political corruption in our lifetimes. While political corruption is as old as politics itself, the man who destroyed America's faith in its highest office was Richard Milhous Nixon. Nixon is most famous for the Watergate scandal, a

I've always taken my education for granted. Everything in school (until college) came really easy for me. Hence, I didn't bring with me, any sort of study skills in college, which is why I'm not where I wanted to be. However...as for the rest of the population...I've taken a new role as a teacher. A Catholic middle school teacher...and I'm slowly realizing what an academic snob I am. I have

Let it also be said I was always an admirer of John McCain, until he started running for President.

I was born in the rather-populous city of Sacramento and have lived for many years in the VERY populous city of San Francisco. I am a liberal.

For the record, for all those that had suffered a broken heart and I haven't been completely sensitive to your needs. But this is a really good time to reacquaint myself with my relationship to God. Also, this would be useful considering I work in an environment that requires me to lead young people toward God. It's

I was alerted to this somewhat disconcerting fact on one of my favorite pop culture websites, Pop Candy... (get ready to feel a little old...)The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill was released ten years ago. (Link to Rolling Stones' article)Hot damn. It's things like this that make me wonder what unimaginable situation I'll be in ten years from now, you know?Ex-Factor is such a classic...

I really don't want to become the //VA obituarist but like the aforementioned Stan Winston, George Carlin played a huge role in my formation. In my childhood he was simply Rufus from Bill & Ted (and before that the conductor on that kid's train show). Then in my early teens my father thought I was ready to hear the man's standup (this is why I have awesome parents). I had the distinct pleasure

When I was 7 years old I saw my first R-rated movie. I was stoked because, well, I was fucking seven and got to watch an R-rated movie. My parents explained to me ahead of time there would be violence stronger than what I'd seen before and language I should not repeat (I don't quite think that lesson stuck).So the movie begins with a some voice over about the future.

Iron Man was awesome and stay through the credits to have the Ultimate Nerdgasm (and for the hardcore comic geeks, i capitalized Ultimate for a reason [o'malley is the only one who's going to understand that, i fear]).But to me the true reason for this revelatory breakthrough in the celluloid realization of our much revered panel-illustrated lore has more to do with the most kickass business plan

After eight years of a Connecticut-born wannabe cowboy stumbling over his words like a parapalegic trying to jump hurdles at the Olympic level, it would be nice to have a president who knows how to make an eloquent and inspiring speech.Now I made my basic view of the Democratic primary known a couple months ago just after Super Tuesday. But to summarize... I am a supporter of Obama because he

It's been awhile since I've last posted. Also, it so happens that I just recently came across a comment (left on my last post).1 Comments: Mike said... typical obama supporter. you keep making posts supporting him and bashing hillary when you don't even talk about the issues. you don't talk about how obama supports the patriot act, or how he supports

Someone that you could see yourself getting married to, that happily ever after kind of someone? Have you ever wished you could just put someone on hold and pick up again when the time is right?

I'm riding BART to work this morning and there's a grown ass man sitting a few seats next to me BLASTING his music on his phone for all to hear. Every other word is B**** and N**** and there are F Bombs all over the place. WHY?!? Why why why why?!? You inconsiderate Mother F*****. I wanted to take his phone and throw it to the other side of the train.

I felt compelled to write a comment regarding the SOPboys biting off of Fil-Am dance groups. However, I'm going to expand the subject a bit more. I suck at not offending people, so I'll try my best not to.I don't consider myself cool in any sense at all. In fact I kind of pride my uncool quality. However, during my recent trip tot he Philippines, everything I did, smelled, ate, drank, poo'd, etc.

man... I don't even know where to start. A friend posted this video in a bulletin about Jabbawockeez and a group from the Philippines called SOPboys. Theres basically bad beef circulating now because the cats from the Philippines blatantly copied a Jabba routine.Now when you have an issue like this pop-up theres obviously so many factors that get thrown into the argument; originality, creativity,

I was browsing around today trying to find the infamous Obama poster that OBEY created. I found it, but stumbled upon this as well:Do It Yourself Obama PosterPretty cool...I typed in a few things that made me laugh, but decided to keep the inapporopriate phrases to myself. Have fun! I'm sure all the Clinton supporters can have a few laughs with this too.

I was absolutely amazed as I watched a sitcom on primetime TV last night, and listened to all the sexual terms and references that are now allowed to be said before 10PM while Jenny and Johnny play with their toys in the family room after dinner.Remember when the word ass was not allowed to be said on network TV? Is this a decline in censorship or a decline in morality? Is there something to be

I got on the elevator today after I picked up my check from my temp agency. And it was packed to capacity with many people, including a young black female who opened her check on the elevator, read the value, and declared, "That's my hair and nails."I was present enough not to bust out laughing right there on the elevator. But I chuckled slightly as I emerged from the building, thinking about how

Mardi gras and Super Tuesday have both passed simultaneously and my home state of California voted for Hillary Rodham Clinton. Fuck. To me what this Democratic primary is about is the ongoing battle between idealism and cynicism. It is one that rages within me on a daily basis.

I caught my first episode of Fox’s “Biggest New Hit Of The Season” aka “The Show We Throw On to Catch American Idol’s Overflow” aka The Moment of Truth and I must say, I kinda got into it.

This campaign isn't about gender or race.It's about which candidate resonates with you.I have never been into politics as I have in this particular campaign.

So what with the Oscar nominations recently being announced, I suppose it’s as good a time as any for Jake’s 2007 movie rundown. Truth be told I was ready to do this a couple weeks ago but I have been without internet access. So I’ll give my own opinions on the various categories that award shows do and a few I made up. So many of my choices are really predictable and many of them are the same

//va what happened? IT'S SO QUIET!Well Happy New Year, anyway.Let's get this year started off with a question; what did everyone do for their New Years? Any good stories?Me, I bar hopped on P street in Sac and got pretty smashed with a few friends. Good times. Then we called Jayk at 2am. More good times. Wandering around at 2am singing to strangers who are also drunk is fun, especially when

someone RELATED to someone famous is pregnant. the headline on cnn.com is actually [worded different] "what will parents tell their kids about the teen pregnany of a pop singer's sister?" is that really a question kids have? why does this have ANYTHING to do with parenting for anyone other than the knocked up girl and her baby daddy?perhaps i am trivializing things. as someone without kids,

Anyone who really knows me knows that my family is conservative as hell and sorta paranoid for my safety. Or at least, my mother is. Sometimes she's her own force of nature. I love them to death but sometimes the over-protective paranoia annoys me...or makes me laugh.Depends on the current situation.Here is my current situation; I am in LA until Monday. Originall I had planned to go home

...And then the semester ended.This semester was...weird. And not entirely pleasant. It was definitely the most different semester I've had at this school, and I had such a learning experience that going back to Grad School, like parts of it or not, turned out pretty good.Of course, I say this after failing at some miserably.The way film school here works is you make a movie according to the

My walking biohazard of a roommate is leaving for six weeks this weekend. Now I want to clear something up: I do not hate Adam. He's an affable guy when you catch him in his good moods. He's a great drinking buddy. Given my lack of social interaction he is probably my best friend [albeit by default]. But the man is impossible to live with. We live in absolutle squalor.

iTunes? Rhapsody? BitTorrent? "TOWER RECORDS GOING OUT OF BUSINESS SALE"The advancement of our own technology is closing down the record business. But is it honestly a bad thing? Sure, you may not be able to walk into a Tower and conversate with a knowledgable sales associate about anything and everything concerning music.

It seems made for a discussion topic for //va.Anyone heard of juicycampus.com?Please don't go there. I'm begging you. You have no excuse. None. Get away from it now.

66 years ago today the Japanese attcked Pearl Harbor, leading to the American involvement in World War II, which we had thusfar seen fit to stay out. Maybe nostalgic is the wrong word, but it makes you think back on a time when there a clear justification for war. Good guys and bad guys. Simple things.
