why it's bad to repress...

today i plan to demonstrate the negative effects of suppression over time.

when i was younger, my studies were always given the priority. regardless of what was going on, my studies would always come first. "in the event of a fire, save your books and notebooks! forget everything else... actually try and save the piano. piano lessons are expensive!", my mom would say to me when i was younger. so if ever the house were to burn down i would be a clothesless, toyless but textbook/notebook rich and homeless boy with a piano. naturally, video games were seen as hindrances to the development of a brain 3 times the size of my head. nintendo was banned inside the house and sega was seen as the devil's spawn tansformed into a blue hedgehog that had human souls into gold spinning coins. well, it all eventually caught up to me because the second i could earn my own money i bought every game console known to man (except for that shiny psp but i'll remedy that soon). the sensory overload must've cost my brain at least a few cells. i mean, c'mon! a plumber jumping on mushrooms?! that shit's only funny when you're smoking something "wacky"!

now the past few months, i've been avoiding the tv because of work and the sheer amount of it. but my friends have so adequately provided me seasons 1,2 and 3 of alias and 24 to do my catching up. i've gone through the first two seasons of 24 and i'm halfway through the third season; i can could see the light at the end of the tunnel. until i watched the first episode of alias. i've never been a huge fan of jennifer garner (i think she has the wide man shoulders thing). i do have to admit that she looks hot as a red head ...and the story line isn't so bad. did i mention she looks good as a red head? i guess i have to queue up the rest of season 3 of 24 and season 1 of alias on my watch list.

anyone else have tv repression issues like me?

ok all you wine drinkers...

i'm talking to you tanya (and all the other readers out there who like drinking wine). what wine would you recommend? i'm particular to the white zinfandel stuff.

but before you start recommending things. let me explain your audience.
  • the person is a wine n00b
  • wants to start understanding it
  • just saw the movie sideways, and seems thought: wow, even a dorky-looking guy like paul giamatti can look cool drinking wine

damn 24...

ok, this is what i get for avoiding a series for this long. playing catch up on 24 series is a pain. i'm on the last disc of the 2nd season and i can't avert my eyes.

and it's really really late.

total randomnimity...

i'm going to let my adhd control this blog post completely. randomnimity... is that even a word?

one of the things that i really enjoy about the ipod is the smart playlist feature. see, i'm not a very smart cookie. i really enjoy it when my things are smarter than me. it actually picks the songs that it's going to play for me, and most of the time, i actually enjoy the songs.

in most cases, just looking pissed off is enough to scare people into listening to you (and your nonsensical opinion). i need to take some acting classes to learn how to act more pissed so people will start paying attention to me. grr! look at me i'm pissed. that, or just threaten to throw them out the window.

why the hell does yahoo 360 constantly tell me that it's time for coffee? it's like my 5th cup in the last 30 minutes already.

one of my work clients just dropped by and said that i'm driving the people around me away based on the amount of people in the immediate vicinity of my cubicle. i told her that i killed them off one by one with a knife. no i'm kidding! i used a gun.

i need sleep, i feel like an over-caffinated zombie. hummm brain.

remember: it's april fools day, don't get pranked out there.
