Your Big Pal Al's Logbook

"Years before, when I was a kid, I owned a little Ford runabout, a Model T. And I took care of that car as a man takes care of his love--for I did love it. I was and remain a Model T guy, more comfortable with imperfection than its opposite, cherishing the ability to discern and shore up a latent weakness. I knew the car wasn't a Cadillac. Hell, what would a guy like me do with a Cad? It was a Model T, and I treated it good and it treated me good. When I sold it, after two years of trouble-free driving, it was actually in better shape than the day I bought it.
Two months later it was in the junk heap.
Less than two months after I split with Ellen, she was whoring."

This song invariably reminds me of a time when I didn't know who emo kids were, and I blissfully had no idea what instant messenger, livejournal or any other internet sites were at all. Ironically, I decided to put this crap memory here.

It reminds me of a time when I could just sit and be content. At the abandoned tracks, with Karen, above Lakeside, just listening to the drum in the background, huddled together on some weathered old bench that no one had sat on in years. Watching the lights from the roller coasters and the train shine off the lake. From here, we could make out anything we needed to. People running about the park were small. The train moved slowly around the lake that was full of reflecting lights. And the traffic on the highway was clearly audible. For some reason, Radiohead always reminds me of run down places. I can't readily think of a time when I was happier than here.

"You dyin', Simon?"
"That I am, Peter."

Lines from a movie we watched today. At least I have the Chem. Brothers/Portishead to get me through this......art.

edit: Me, Chris, Amanda and Greg just watched a great horned owl devour a small bird on the telephone pole right outside of Courtney's apartment. It took the guy like an hour.

life

Tue, 04 Oct 2005 07:35:43 GMT

"I think all our aim conversations offer crucial answers to life that can be explained simply by copying and pasting."

The bolt on my lower left side has begun the slow process of punching a hole in my lip, but fortunately there isn't any pain there anymore since it's all calloused and such. I can't wait to get these godforsaken things out in a week. And then shortly after, start chewing again. I'm also thoroughly impressed with the amount of attention/sympathy I got from my family and a few of my friends. Sure, it was a bad accident, but following the fact I was pretty ok. It was just incredibly annoying. A friend of mine from a ways off called me tonight on his late night/early morning walk, at the same time I was taking mine. It's odd that we both do that/procrastinate for the same reasons.

On that note, I need to stop studying for alien class. I can't learn anything more. I need to go somewhere soon too. Seattle, Anchorage, Anywhere out East. Or even just the mountains.

food

Wed, 14 Sep 2005 21:18:48 GMT

So I just discovered this afternoon that Souby flew down to south Mississippi last night to go forward with his idea of joining up with the relief efforts. So, yeah. Kudos to you, Andrew.
And today for the first time in 25 days I saw my tongue and ate some food. Some scrambled eggs. It was pretty awesome.

911

The last three calls made from my phone. These past three nights have been possibly the most ridiculous consecutive three, outside last thanksgiving break, that I've had so far. You should either feel really lucky that you didn't hang out with me, or be really mad at yourselves for missing out on all the mayhem. Goodnight to you all.

monster

Sat, 03 Sep 2005 21:33:47 GMT

D-Link finally came through, so my internet is kind of working. I might be the only person at the school that's not at the football game. Courtney's gonna be 21 tonight, so I'm gonna be out late, against my better judgement. However, I still need to get to:

Estes, to check on the family. And the mountains.
Denver, to check on Monster and Puff-Puff.

So my jaw isn't wired shut so much as it's screwed shut. I can't talk too well. And answering my phone my not be happening very much, but you can feel free to leave messages and I'll get back to you one way or another.

Sun, 21 Aug 2005 18:33:14 GMT

I broke my jaw last night. So forgive me if I don't talk to/see any of you for a while. Because I have to be in Denver, recuperating, and after that my jaw's going to be wired shut. Anyways, the point is, it might be tough to get in touch with me, but that doesn't mean you should stop trying.

school

Fri, 19 Aug 2005 20:26:02 GMT

I talked to Drayna today. So now everyone is back. And school starts in 3 days. It has really crept up on me. Thankyou Kellen for putting me to bed last night. And if someone is feeling trashy enough I'd like to go to the Bloodhound Gang with you.

The Bloodhound Gang has a new single/album?

What?

Dreams

Sun, 31 Jul 2005 01:34:48 GMT

I have always had trouble recounting my dreams, but usually there are one or two that I can remember vividly. At the end of the one I had last night, me, Nick and Jesse were standing outside the Gothic tonight, waiting to go see Tegan and Sarah. Jesse starting puking in the gutter, and me and Nick laughed/tried to help him. Then Nick started puking. Then I woke up. Hopefully there won't be a correlation to this in reality, as if there hasn't already been.

The band is proving to be interesting. As are trips to the renaissance festival/samurai sword shopping. And I'm going to miss Tiff + the Denver people by the time school starts up again. [EDIT]: Party at the Cait's tonight = people/place and of course, a memory that I won't forget, ever. I'll miss the upper half of Abo's. For sure.

Awesome

Thu, 21 Jul 2005 23:35:26 GMT

Quickly, Bhusan and Allison are certainly the best people at work. I am probabaly just biased to liking Nepalese people. But also, today a man of probably 60-65 came in and asked me about the At the Drive in live dvd. And it was not for his grandkid or anything, but for himself. So we talked about them and their offshoots for about 15 minutes. Anyway who cares, but it was pretty awesome.

Thu, 14 Jul 2005 19:06:38 GMT

How did we not think of watermelon masks sooner.

Unfortunately one night has three different things coinciding that I would normally always go to. Tuesday = Get Him Eat Him, Gravy Train and Head Automatica. And Val's birthday as well. July 26th has a lot of crap as well. It'll all come together, hopefully. And looking back. I should have gone to the Aquabats/Phenomonauts with probably the largest fraction of my brothers & cousins at one show, ever. There's always the future. And if I ever get bored with the amount of family I have around here, someone punch/spit water at me. Much as Tiff/Megan did last night. Denny's continues to own, we have the best crew to go there in the world. Few places will the waiters laugh along with you at 3 in the morning while Jesse snorts sugar packets, Tiff sprays mustard, Aaron yells incoherently, everyone recites pablo francisco, Val wears lemons in her teeth, and etc etc ETC.

Last night a girl made a not so flattering comment about me as I was walking by, but only because she thought my music was on. I gave her a great big smile and she made an awkwardly surprised face back at me. Turns out walking through large groups of people with your headphones in but not on can be quite amusing.

I take walks for various reasons and I took a really long one last night, and one that I've only taken once before. A good number of odd things happened along the way on it, namely a bat flying by my head. His sonar must have been broken or something because his right wing definitely slapped me in the face, and as a result I was quite surprised and yelled out FUCK at the top of my lungs.

discounts

Mon, 27 Jun 2005 07:46:45 GMT

Now all I have to look forward to are senior discounts.

I'll be at a show again, with different people at a different place and different bands. But it'll be good as always. Things are perhaps too busy. No. They definitely are. But something weird today, is that this song was playing on a commercial. That doesn't seem particularly right.

I also am not quite ready to leave.

I did the rounds tonight. Allyce, Aaron, Tiff, Dave, Tom, Caitlin, Lins, Greg, Kirsten and Drayna. All in much different places. This is going to be a multi part summer, I don't know why I didn't see that before. But it's been fun so far, and things are going well, So I suppose,

Allxdg84: but
Allxdg84: I'm going to put that oh no in between your comments
crackandrhymes: ha

crackandrhymes: in fact i think you should post all of this
Allxdg84: probably
crackandrhymes: do it and make this the last line
......
Allxdg84: so why did he give his arm to the devil for seeing it?
crackandrhymes: he became the sith
Allxdg84: oh dear

Neat

Fri, 20 May 2005 22:17:51 GMT

Last night on my walk, a big black dog came running out of an alley and started barking crazily at me. Neat.

Some people are doing well right now, and plenty are not. The new Star Wars was oddly disturbing, as is my frequently empty house. Which is a change from times past. Last night Wagen, Matt and Mike called me. This morning Souby. So after Xing gets back tomorrow, it'll be almost everyone. Weird. This new interactive art stuff I got though is pretty nifty. So I guess I'll head back soon.

Jig

Fri, 29 Apr 2005 10:52:45 GMT

IT STARTED SNOWING AGAIN.

And it's 4:30 in the A.M. I can't sleep. I got on a roll reading this book for class. It's oddly engaging, a rebroadcast of tonight's conan [which was a repeat anyway] is on, and Ryan is up building his final project. Chris is asleep at Court's, so we have the basement to ourselves and I probably will just take sporadic naps again. Tomorrow's the last day of classes, and I am having mixed feelings on this year ending. Good for some things, bad for others. At any rate, I've been walking around in the massive amounts of snow that we have on my various trips to various places tonight, and it's ridiculous. It's April. What the hell.

Glass

Mon, 18 Apr 2005 06:58:12 GMT

Whitney's narration is going to be hard to fit together. But after this. I am done with 8mm. So that's sort of a relief, and a bit sad at the same time. At least now I have everything I need to make my own. I will not however, miss the dungeon in Macky.

Extraterrestrials, film history, history of space travel, 16mm, independent filmmaking and Subsaharan African political systems. And while I was being told how silly and random of a class schedule that is for the fall, Jake ate some glass on accident.

Psychosis

Tue, 12 Apr 2005 06:36:36 GMT

I didn't realize how easily one goes insane after getting virtually no sleep for two entire weeks. I experienced the after affects over the weekend, and perhaps still am. Listening to Kill me Tomorrow while doing so will not help stop the psychosis.

The architecture in Denver needs more appreciation, something unrealized by me until today, as I was able to take in the full majesty of the doors to the city and county building and the surrounding municipal buildings. Holy cow, the things are huge. "They were used to let elephants in when foreign dignitaries were visiting." Perfect. Cleaning up that part of downtown would be quite good, I'd probably wind up down there quite a bit more. Maybe not. Anyway it would be nice.
W.K. crapped out tonight, right after Minus the Bear and Honorary Title. Would be more lame had I not spent the time on so much randomness. Which has provided me with 10 minutes of film that I've got to have Whitney narrate. We'll see how that goes.
