Of all people to be paying tribute to Jackie Robinson last night at Dodger Stadium, how exactly did the Dodger execs land on Marlon Wayans as an appropriate person to speak about his legacy? I mean, of all the black leaders in this country, I can't imagine many of them would pass up the chance to speak in front of 50,000 people on national television...and you land on the Stephen Baldwin of the Wayans brothers? Really?

Hey, remember that time I used to update my livejournal?
I'm taking advantage of the current Nor'Easter storm to update this thing for the first time in over a year. Rain, rain, go away. I want to go outside, but I just don't want to put on pants. Things that have happened in the past year and a few weeks:
-I still live in Boston, and will be here for the forseeable future. Actually, I just realized looking back that I never really said i'd moved. So, yeah...I live here now...sup
-I've got a job at a golf shop downtown. I'm teaching beginner lessons, and have been promoted to director of retail. Still waiting for my pay raise though...But it's a great job, and i'm finally doing something that I can see myself doing for a long time. Even if my boss is a tremendous douche. Plus, I get crazy good hookups on golf clubs. It's a sickness.
-I've seen lots of awesome bands. Decemberists (several times), Explosions in the Sky, Weakerthans, The Elected, Alkaline Trio, Piebald, Anathallo, Bloc Party, Rx Bandits, etc etc etc etc...it still hasn't gotten old being in a place where you can walk to shows.
-Traci and I are currently looking for an apartment for August/September. Just looking to get out of the student ghetto. So...yeah :)
-I saw a hooker giving a guy in a wheelchair a handjob in the alley next to work. Sweet.
-I went to a bunch of Red Sox games, including the 3 game series against my White Sox. So much fun, I love living near a ballpark as well.
-Took a few really fun mini vacations. Portland Maine, Washington DC, NYC, and NYC again next week. Woo.
And a bunch of other stuff that i'm totally blanking on. It doesn't matter really, i'm really happy where I am and thats all that matters.
Though, I must say it's really scary reading my profile that says i'm 20...i'm turning 25 this week...GUHHHHHHH

So I feel like i'm going to use this solely as a photo journal, and whenever I actually do have something to say, i'll put it in my myspace blog...it's too much effort to keep up two of these :)
so with that in mind
unfortunately, this is crooked, and i must re-take the picture at a later date...but still kind of neat

Iron and Wine...and Pelican |
] |
Hello hello hello
Some moderately sized things of note lately...first...i got a laptop! yes! an 80 gig compaq presario...i'm sitting in the dark, at work, with my feet up, listening to iron and wine...typing on my new baby, i love it...even if it did set me back a pretty good sized sum of cash
second, i saw bad religion and sick of it all last night...both of which were fucking awesome...except pennywise played too...quite literally may have been the worst 45 minutes of my life...not that i was expecting anything different...but seriously, wowowowowowow...I mean, the music was repetitive and shitty and all that, that was to be expected...but fletcher might be the most ignorant human being i've ever seen behind a microphone...a couple of choice cuts:
"HOW MANY OF YOU MOTHERFUCKERS HATE YOUR PARENTS! HELL YEAH, I KNOW YOU DO (pointing at some kid)...SHE FOUND THAT WEEEEED IN YOUR DRESSER AGAIN, HUH!"
"THIS SONG GOES OUT TO ALL THOSE COCKSUCKERS DOWN IN NEW ORLEANS...THE MAYOR, THE HEAD OF FEMA, FUCKIN BUSH, ALL OF THOSE MOTHERFUCKERS...THEY LET OUR OWN PEOPLE DEHYDRATE WHEN THERE WAS WATER RIGHT DOWN THE FUCKING STREET...FUCK EM"
awesome...not sure how ray nagen got lumped into that group, but whatever...so yeah, that was the epitomy of shitty, but whatever, bad religion ruled...even though the sound at the congress theatre blows elephant balls
i'll try to update this more often...big things are coming up for me :)

-So on a whim last night, I went to see The Decemberists at Metro, all by my lonesome...I saw them last week in Boston and they were all kinds of amazing, so I thought, what the hell...I bought the ticket online before I left to assure myself a spot, a 17 dollar ticket which isn't too ridiculous...I bought it without paying attention, and the grand fucking total came to 29 dollars and some change
what
the
fuck
That was almost enough to ruin my time, but not really...They were great as always, playing a slightly different set, and even a cover of Mr. Blue Sky...So all was well...The crowd kind of blew though, it was a +18 show, so it was hipster central...everybody was too busy holding their girlfriend's hand to have fun and sing along...whatever
But yeah, they were great...and here's the pictures from last week, for those who did not see them :)

off to work, and then to see THRICE
