“I’m so excited”

For Shame

finger I’ve done some pretty ridiculous stuff in my time. Once, while showing off on a bike, I injured myself so badly that I required intense surgery on my knee. It was embarrassing as hell. More recently, I was really excited about seeing Lloyd and Michael play. Not that I had ever really heard them, or that anyone has. But I knew it must be good. Manta(r), Badger King, Dear Nora. How could it not be good? So, the embarrassing, shameful part came because I was so excited. I wanted to let them (i.e. m. ritchey) know that I (people in general) were excited. Build up some anticipation for both of us. Right? So I leave a comment the night before. The next day there is a post semi about the music so I leave another comment thinking I can delete the first and that this is a more appropriate place anyway. Then this happens, which isn’t a huge deal, just embarrassing. The best part is that we didn’t make it in time to see them play.

Then I cut my finger with a damn x-acto knife. THIS HAS NEVER HAPPENED TO ME. I felt like an idiot. It is almost healed all the way now and I’m beginning to get over it, but I felt so ridiculous at the time.

All of that is nothing compared to today. The most shameful. Last night, we had a crazy intense dance party (by that I mean I was way too excited dancing to gangsta rap while everyone watched). Suffice it to say, it was awesome. The shame came today when I woke up. I AM IN SO MUCH PAIN. My lower back is all jacked. I’m 22! This isn’t supposed to happen until I’m 65 or something. So today I’ve been waddling around, feeling absolutely ridiculous. Trying to act like it’s nothing.

Snooze

guitarhero Lately I’ve been spreading my interests between “writing” posts for Tumblr, the front page, we enjoy links, etc. and have neglected my home. I recently posted an interview. Though a step in the right direction, I mostly wrote it weeks ago. Great things I’ve read lately: this interview. Michael Cera came back into my life. This is one of those slow news days though.

Addendum “Why I want to see Knocked Up”:
Good reviews from Chase, Jon, Dalas V., Liz is working, Willow, Digg, and BuzzFeed.

Dance Pants

I can’t get enough. The music. The jamz. The WU! Dance Party 2002. OK! Here’s a life lesson (#4): LIFE IS CYCLICAL. You find yourself. In your new shoes. Your new persona. You feel legit. You always do. AND you love it. So, your in it (How much does Garden State suck? … it’s the Sufjan of movies, you like it, but it cheapens your existence)… Tonight, we were visiting, then the past comes back. Life is put into a new perspective. I can’t help but put myself into the lowest common denominator. FIRST, I hate to think I am better than anyone else. I mean, I do it, think it, but I am eternally bummed out about it. How could I know more than anyone? I forget my sister’s birthday, I mess up, lose friends, say the WRONG thing… I am a constant foot in the mouth. It’s a bummer. I have always wanted an eternal perspective. The eternal transcendence. No matter what. Punk Rock. Conservative Christian. It’s the “eternal” perspective. Whether it be heaven, or the cosmos. I want to be like Bucky. I don’t want to fight for religion, or politics, just eternity.
