This or that
And, so, no more mid-morning coffees in the sun. No more cigarettes smoked on the balcony, their butts tossed into the courtyard when he figured nobody was watching. No more smeared, hazy foreign sunsets or cumulative minutes spent understanding check-in kiosks or the rehearsed rituals of airport security or friendly but forgettable small talk with cab drivers. No more late, lazy weekend brunches...

It might have been a stroke
Look out for my debut EP More Hungover Than I’m Really Prepared to Be appearing on My Hangovers Now Lay Dormant Until The Afternoon and Well Into the Evening Records. Preorder for a special b-side consisting of me doing a live cover of ‘Between the Bars’ where I throw up midway through the song.

Tokyo Jesus
Yesterday marks the fifteenth anniversary of the Heaven’s Gate mass suicide, one of the many unsettling events of the 1990s that absolutely scared the shit out of me as a child alongside events like:
The LA riots
Waco
Aum Shinrikyo’s use of nerve gas in the Tokyo subway, and later speculation that they had detonated a nuclear weapon in the Australian outback
The Dunblane massacre

In regards to Kony 2012
I’m not going to critique Invisible Children as a charity or the campaign itself, but I’d like to talk a little about about a previous international intervention in Africa: That of the UN mission in Somalia between 1992 and 1995. In the aftermath of the Somali civil war which saw the deaths of 500,000 people, UN forces entered Somalia with a mandate to monitor the ceasefire and to...

We got trouble.
visiblechildren:
You do not need to ask my permission to share this. Please link it widely. For those asking what you can do to help, please link to visiblechildren.tumblr.com wherever you see KONY 2012 posts.
I do not doubt for a second that those involved in KONY 2012 have great intentions, nor do I doubt for a second that Joseph Kony is a very evil man. But despite this, I’m strongly opposed...

Electric Kool Aid
I think a friend of mine girl I danced with at a party once is in a cult. At least, according to what I can garner from Facebook. She’s always wearing track suits, lives in [redacted], and yesterday posted a rant railing about a joke in a Louis CK standup special where he admonishes 20 year olds who don’t do their jobs (apparently this is the wrong approach to take with youth, and...

Movies Watched in 2012, con't.
#10: 5 Days of War (2011, dir. Renny Harlin)
When I began this whole ‘Movies Watched In…’ thing, I intended for it to be a list only. But, in the case of this film, I really must pause to state that it’s absolutely dreadful. I won’t attempt to dissect its apparent political slant, as the 2008 South Ossetia war which it depicts is a conflict that I have very little...
