01/04/2008: "AND IT DON'T STOP. AND IT DON'T STOP."

music: Crown of Love - The Arcade Fire
mood: Friday. Rain. Los Angeles.

I made a few "promises" to myself as I began 2008 (resolutions are easily broken, promises are, well, I guess, also easily broken).

I promised never to mix a T-shirt with a blazer. Never. I am not a 35 year old guy trying to pass off as a 25 yr old guy. I'm Asian, I have the fortune of looking a few years younger than I actually am.

I promised to implement some of the lessons I read about/watched in movies and books like The Secret, Getting Things Done and the other pile of self-help books I ammassed during my quarter-life crisis. Stuff like setting one's priorities, clearly defining your goals, relying on passive income, blah blah blah blah.

With that in mind, I wanted to let you all know I just posted 4 more links over at New Day Coop. Yeah, Season 5 of the Wire is my only real priority right now. My Sunday plans are kinda in limbo right now, but Dr. Phil has this philosophy of "it will work out" if you "don't sweat the small stuff" like getting pissed about people "moving your cheese" and things of that nature.

In short, you'll have to wait for the "more important" things you're accustomed to on this blog like my end of the year lists, my concert reviews of last years best concerts (Spiritualized, Arcade Fire/LCD Soundsystem, Arcade Fire at the Greek), some Christmas photos and the usual tomfoolery. You know how you're mom and dad kinda don't get a long during football season? It's going to be a little like that.

Worry not, there a lot of personal sacrifices I'm making on my end too. Like taking the time to clean my office, unpack my suitcase, send out Christmas cards . . . .

I don't think Dr. Phil condones smoking cheese. or of smoking tree. You changed the nouns and now I'm quite confused. Are you smoking gouda or are you smoking firs? and what kind of parent names their kid Stony McStonerson?

whats dr phil's stance on adverse reactions to people "smoking my cheese"...is this considered "sweating the small stuff". i work very hard to buy good tree and then scavangers keep on creepin. fuck dat shit!
