- Holidizzle Paradizznatch
This week I got the message loud and clear that the Metropolitan area of Atlanta loves me and has some quality people in it’s environs. Thank you those who called, thank you those who drove in a van to play shows. If you are from Atlanta and missed out on “The ATL loves Randall” week, [...]
- iPod Emergencies.
So last evening my roommate Kyle, whom some of you out there in blogopolis already know, and I decided to make a trip down to South Coast Plaza. As we were walking out the door, I realised I still had my iPod, in it’s lovely G-Star carrying case, attached to me. I decided to go [...]
- Tips for Lip Biters.
So you might all remember a few posts back I tipped my hand about one of my (read: every male on this planet) weaknesses, the lip bite. Well tonight as I was looking at the random and strange ways people get to this little piece of the internets I call my own, I stumbled across [...]
- P is for A Better World.
So I just got the mail delivered here at work and while none of the books I ordered last week came, one package full of amazing content was delivered. My good friend Chad Pearson recently started a company called “P is for Panda,” and decided to send me a little package of visual splendor. Button [...]
- Michael Bay Is The Working Man’s Director.
Some people out there think Michael Bay makes bad movies, those same people also support the work of some of the most self-righteous egotistical persons I’ve ever met. I think my point has been made. Michael Bay isn’t about the whole “Hollywood” mentality, or the “I’m an artist” attitudes. Michael Bay is real, makes movies [...]
- JT/JFK Day (AKA Memorial Day).
As we have another 3 day weekend full of sunshine and barbecues to celebrate the persons who have died fighting for the country we call home, some people want to talk about politics and what is wrong with this country. I simply present the stories of 2 men whose lives have had an impact on [...]
- Brady Quinn Fans Are Violent.
Tonight Kyle and I ventured to the center of Los Angeles, a place some call downtown, for Kat’s birthday party. It was a lovely time, and I offended people by playing Kelly Clarkson and Dashboard Confessional. I was the designated driver, because Kyle was the designated drinker of Newcastle Brown Ale, so I took the [...]
- The Perfect Girl.
Blog Groupies take note… the perfect girl has been summed up in video form. The key moments to focus on are the shrug at the end, the boots, and the lower lip bite. Okay it’s mostly the lower lip bite.
- Intimidating.
A few weeks back I found the perfect bike. It’s gorgeous, it’s designed, it has front disc brakes (no idea why I would need that), it has no chain, it’s $1200.00. Now that’s a lot for a bike, but this bike HAS NO CHAIN!!! I got over the $1200.00 bike when I realised I would [...]
- The Running Of The Ponies.
Hollywood Park opened for it’s spring meet a few weeks back, and Saturday I supported the just-outside-of-Hollywood-community Inglewood. I have no idea why it’s “Hollywood” Park, all of Hollywood waits for Del Mar. There were a few wardrobe delays getting to the track, but once all was overcome an absolutely wonderful time was had on [...]
- This Is What Living Like This Does.
Jordan Percy decided to grace the Greater Los Angeles Metropolitan Area with his presence last evening. We decided on t-shirts and suit jackets, already had reservations for 4 (where was our 4th the whole night anyway?) at Rambutan, had finally convinced Kyle that this Target listed in LA nightlife on multiple internet locations, is this [...]
- Automobile Invasion.
Last night at what I will presume was 3:27AM (because that’s when the alarm on somebody else’s car was going off out on the street, which both woke me up and annoyed me when it wouldn’t stop) my vehicle was broken into. When I walked up to the car and saw all kinds of things [...]
- The Evolution Of The Internets.
So many of my friends and enemies who follow my weblog may, like me, appreciate good design. I like the world well designed, I like architecture, I like form and function, I like thought before action. It is with that in mind that I’m giving you a little taste of why I have that link [...]
- Political Declarations.
I keep forgetting if I’m a registered Democrat or Republican (technically, I just found out I’m not even registered) so deciding who to support is always a tough call. Sometimes I like the Gov’t leaving us alone, sometimes I want the injustices in our daily lives to stop, sometimes I want free gas in exchange [...]
- Not To Break Tradition.
…but “today, a tradition.” Summing it all up with one thing, it was a year of things. Not so much things to eliminate (though there are plenty), but things to remember, things to cherish, things to pretend only existed in alternate dimensions. My life consisted of flights across the Pacific with the most modern of [...]
- Best Of 2006.
Top 10 Albums of 2006: 1. The Appleseed Cast – Peregrine 2. Brand New – The Devil And God Are Raging Inside Me 3. Snow Patrol – Eyes Open 4. Nas – Hip Hop Is Dead 5. Rocky Votolato – Makers 6. Brandtson – Hello, Control. 7. Sleeping At Last – Keep No Score 8. [...]
- Insert This Before It Should Be Inserted.
Driving the five, and I’m learning how to smile. I’m not sure when it was I forgot how, but it is evident, it has been a while. I’m proudly displaying far too much of an affliction for a band that is far too popular for this kind of event. It says so much, it always [...]
- Film At Eleven.
Tonight I decided I would watch the news, on most nights I miss it due to my extreme tendencies to block out the real world. I was hoping for some controversial testimony on whether or not “two” committed suicide. I was wondering what the news would say about our President wearing stripes at dinner. I [...]
- Fascination.
I have often been told i am before my time. I suppose everyone is really, but then at some point they must get past their time. I would have fought well in the crusades, I would gladly have slaughtered hundreds of innocent men (so long as I could do so with a sword and with [...]
- Forward, Falling Forward.
In what was to become a pivotal moment in my life, soundtracked via Heatmiser ever so suspiciously by a man-who-would-be-genius-if-his-life-weren’t-cut-short, I tripped on my own tears knowing there are some things I am missing more than anything in this world, and some I can’t wait to get away from. And it did, because of me. [...]
- The Daylight Revolution
“It is official, I am giving up on daylight savings time. I will start a club, there will be membership cards of course; we will flash them incessantly to anyone who proclaims we are late.” And so started the major revolution of Drake’s life; finally his cross had arrived via mail order, and it was [...]
- Ten Thousand Year Old Increments.
I don’t like this air, but do we really know any better. I traveled today across hours in minutes. I froze time once, months ago, and now I have reached its rival, speeding time up. We always hoped it possible, but it only comes as a distraction, I aged 5 more years today, which means [...]
- I Woke Up This Morning.
Which is a fine start. It is very clear to me that Long Beach is the new Seattle, which was the new London. And this makes alot more sense being the new London. I am here, and she may very well be in London again. She’s always leaving this place I tried to meet her [...]
- I Could Have Sworn These Were My Words… My Thoughts…
David Eggers, Author/Designer taken from an interview conducted for “YSKOV(Sacrament)” release. “You actually asked me the question: “Are you taking any steps to keep shit real?” I want you always to look back on this time as being a time when those words came out of your mouth. Now, there was a time when such [...]
- Complicated Simple
So sitting here deciding which hardcover edition of books I already have read to purchase makes up my time. And I contemplate my decision making ability, as of late it has failed me. Am I so wrong in so many circumstances? Have I created this alternate mindset, that the rest of the world hasn’t followed [...]
- The Spring Predictives.
I’m pretty sure I will marry someone famous, or someone famous’ ex- wife, or someone famous’ illegitimate daughter, or just a model who is not really famous but gets us into all the Vogue parties. Or someone who is absolutely so amazing that she is famous to me and that’s all that matters.
- If We Never Said Hello, Do We Have To Say Goodbye?
And the end. It’s always the end that gets us. A brick wall to the chase, A locked door at the end of the hall. And we cannot forget what led to this point, but we cannot go back. There is a reason it is the end, time is slowing down, things are becoming more [...]
- Rock over London, Rock on Chicago!
I myself am not sure how it felt when Elvis died, or when JFK was ripped from their hearts, or when the plane went down that took out Ritchie Valens, or when Lennon was stolen from pop culture, but I now can imagine. I experienced the loss of many, Kurt Cobain, Micheal Hutchence, Brad Nowell, [...]
- Neon Signs And 5 Lane Exits.
So after a week-ending, because it included part of the week, of roadtrips and concerts it puts quite a nice spin on the world. You never really know how resourceful you can be until it hits you in a parking lot, and yes jumper cables are so much more valuable to me. We all seem [...]
- You Gotta Have Your Moments.
I don’t know what I want but I should find it, at least before it’s found in the darkness. And it’s not so much that I’m afraid of the darkness, but the simple truth known only to myself at this moment. You cannot see very well in the darkness, and if my judgment is to [...]
- A Night On The Mesa.
I was at this party Friday night, no Saturday, because Friday was dinner and sit in the kids section at Borders reading magazines night. All my friends were drinking, and they were drinking Ice House which must be the worst beer ever made, and I was so over it. I wanted to push people in [...]
