This is officially the first thing I’ve used to decorate my LA apartment. My grandma painted this for me when I was 6. It came with a childrens book by the same title. Quick summary of the childrens book: I hang out with dinosaurs and it’s awesome.

I found this the last time I was home. I’m going to dig around the basement for the story come Christmas time.

This is how I handle Saturday mornings.

We bailed and headed for one of my favorite restaurants in Venice, Lemonade. Yes, that’s a pot roast and mac n cheese sandwich with a side of Brussels sprouts. Yes, it was delicious.

“Barbara Ann” by The Beach Boys

I consider this a song that’s nearly impossible to not sing along to. Or dance to. Or at least bob your head to. I think it’s perfect to start the weekend with.

This is what I get for sharing with my co-workers that I’ve done a few open mics. It now hangs above my desk.

This is more or less the only face I could make while watching El Topo this evening. How long do night terrors usually last for?

Luckyyyyy

Here I am stuck in traffic while a group of little kids run around tackling each other on the baseball field to my left. Enjoy it while you can you lucky bastards.

ohryankelley:

Happy 53rd Anniversary Doc Brown!

On this day in 1955, Doctor Emmet Lathrop Brown was standing on a toilet hanging a wall clock when he slipped and beat his head on the bathroom sink. Unconscious, Doc had a vision and that vision was that of a flux capacitor — the device that makes time travel possible.

“Take Me There” by Blackstreet feat. Mya, Ma$e & Blinky Blink

I faced a true test of character this morning. I was on my way to work when this musical gem shuffled my way. I immediately turned the volume up and started cruising. Only until I was stopped at a red light did I realize how loud I was playing the song. The high school kids waiting for the bus shot me some odd looks, along with what appeared to be a homeless man.

You know what I did? I turned the volume up! Who are they to judge me for blasting a song that:

a) Paved the way for other artists to spell out words in their songs, (they spell out Rugrats in the beginning)

b) Has Hip-Hop legend Ma$e rapping about a Nicktoon! The only song that could top that absurdity would be if Biggie rapped over a sample from The Beets. I’m thinking ‘Killer Tofu’ would be cool.

Don’t be ashamed of your music choices… embrace them!

I just ate an amazing tomato sandwich and frantically searched the internet for this episode of ‘Hey Arnold!’. Any time I eat a tomato I hear Harold’s fat little shithead laugh.

Without further ado… “They Were Delicious” by Walter Charles Walter as read by Mr. Simmons

I have eaten the tomatoes,

That were on the window sill.

Were you saving them for a special occasion?

I apologize,

They were delicious.

I watched entirely too much television as a child.

I’ve been friends with Jeff Rosenberg since the 5th grade and consider him my best friend. I came across this email that he sent to Amir Blumenfield on Amir’s blog. It’s this kind of sense of humor that makes me want to brag about him being my best friend. My stomach hurts from holding in my laughter at work.

And here I was thinking the VHS of that drunk clown at my first birthday party was frightening (very true story).
