thanks to the fecal face news feed!
a friend last night said something that stuck with me.. “republicans will stab you in the front, and democrats will stab you in the back.” makes me think a lot. i’ve really been hoping for obama. he’s one of the only candidates that’s talked about a relevant how-to-get-out-of-war-with-iraq strategy, but as the quote above mentions - you can expect the fucked up things...

Marco.org: State of the Union →
marco: Good evening, ladies and gentlemen of the United States of America. Our union is in its weakest state in history. incredible. i’ve been paying attention to some interesting political blurbs coming from 3 or 4 great tumblrs. it’s nice to see that some people still give a shit about… well, giving a shit.
san francisco, get down! →
while a/v shifts from real gallery to online, fecal face shifts from online to real gallery! i wish i lived in SF to witness. i’ve always been a huge fan of their site and i am so pumped to see them open a gallery! big ups!
why even bother with myspace and facebook? it’s all spam, how to make money (on an internet basis) and bored people trying to come up with things to kill internet time. there’s news to read, blogs to see cool shit and better things you can do besides compare people and test your movie/trivia knowledge. damn. i’m so close to being a ghost on the internet (well via myspace and...
okay, winter. we’re all impressed. now please, get the fuck out of here. — nikkigraziano but it’s okay, because the weather is bipolar. we get two weeks of shit bookended by warm days that make you think spring is right around the corner. (i may be the only rochestarian still cool with the cold and snow.)
oops. shit. sucks to be them.
so i wrote this earlier today… turns out it’s not for one night and that it’s indefinite. that is really fucked up and i think i may never attend again.
poor routine, it looks like for the night they have to succumb to every lame/shitty bar’s “rules” to operate tonight: ladies get in for free, higher charge for guys than normal (21+ only) expensive drink “specials” all night. this reminds me of every advertisement i hear on the wdkx and is mostly a way to get girls to come to a club at a guys expense. not to mention...
Emo is Dead! →
EMO is dead! Now that a FOX News affiliate in Chicago says it’s popular you know it isn’t. The problem with big media is it’s populated by assholes who I went to college with who strive for perfection and a coolness factor they will never ever attain. As my late and great friend Bear said back in 1994, “You can’t say you’re cool and be cool. Cool is the lack of...
Why users should not be CEOs →
The biggest part of running a service like Tumblr (or Hype Machine) is saying no. Anthony gets it right. If we implemented every user request and every feature that everyone else has, here’s what would happen: The interface would look and perform like this. We’d be out of money quickly from paying an army of programmers, and we’d have to start charging money for basic features or putting...
Maybe we couldn’t be so easily convinced to wage unnecessary wars if people cared as much about soldiers and foreign civilians as they do about actors. — marco my thoughs exactly.

yes this is older news, but it is still very relevant.
sixteen degree weather and people are wearing sweatshirts with no jackets. rochester’s so cold today.
i don’t want to sit around and think of school, i just want to hang out and fill my head with thoughts of you.
h. m. : how did you know my name?
w. d. : it's written on your trumpet case asshole.
upon coming home from a party, i met the neighbors who i didn’t know so good. we exchanged names and when i said i was travis, one girl could recite my full name with out either of us knowing each other. what the fuck is going on!?
“Party on! have crushes on girls! eat pizza! live life!”
– chris paddock’s myspace bulletin. perhaps the most relevant thing i’ve seen posted via myspace in a long time.
deanna: ahh philly air
deanna: ass and chocolate
she's so cute!
i wish i could drink wine everyday. i am seriously thinking of becoming a winemaker. down the road a piece maybe.
justin: it's probably huge, and he smells like honey mustard
p.s.
i totally did a photo upload by phone! so rad.
good missed connection. →
hilarious "store" products.. →
you can also check out some writing on it here.
new science song is an arm/leg wrecker. i wish i had an mp3 to post of our practice. maybe in the next few days.. it spans so much ground (fast/intense/bizzare into psychedelic then rock and back) and is potentially the most challenging and demanding song i’ve ever played on drums in a band.
so this girl that is awesome and so cute and my...
me: let's just spend the rest of out lives listening to the beatles and like, someone still loves you boris yeltsin, but i could handle just the beatles, and the kinks.
pretty girl: me too, lets do that, in my bed, with a kitty.
me: my god..
pretty girl: and legs intertwined
as far as pitchfork’s concerned 2007 was a very boring year. their top 50 of ‘07 sucks. maybe 10 of those records should have been up there. but.. what else is new?
odd week for classes.
today, some guy came in and guest lectured during my traumatic images class. he showed us images from thomas hirschhorn’s superficial engagements. this show brings to mind how fucked up our media is and how censored a lot of content is (through the american filter). we hardly see images of death and destruction like other countries do in their news. which is precisely why my parents, along...
!!!!!!!! new someone still loves you boris...
i’m sick of labels. the only relevant label is avant garde because it doesn’t actually mean anything.
““There’s not one person here I’d wanna fuck,” kvetched someone nearby. It was an...”
