i’m not particularly one for remixes, but...
a great and obvious cure for boredom. →
WHAT THE FUCK.
update: i venture into the bathroom to rid my body of waste and decide to check the soap situation as my best friend was the last person to use the shower. and no other roommates are here. i have been noting where i leave my soap and putting it in “strategic” type places, then finding it in a different place in the shower. the soap as i left it last, was on the lower part of the shower...
i'm bored.
i never get the chance to feel bored. it’s not fun. maybe this is because for the first time in a long time, i’ve got NOTHING to do. my brain has kind of shut down because it’s been subject to a few days rest, so i’ve been in outer space for a few days. i don’t want to be in my empty apartment with the fucking neo nazi douche bag who’s thankfully moving out...
“Travis James Johansen Esquire: Let the magic begin! Travy –trav, how would you describe your soul? I don’t know my soul well enough. Is that your first question? You know you’re wasting our budget doing this. -How would you like our budget to include free ice cream sandwiches? I would like it very much so” i was looking through my documents on my computer, and found one saved as...

O, sweet sustainability! →
so after a certain someone was fired from the coop, i’ve noticed the general atmosphere of the store to be a little brighter. everytime i go into my place of employment while i’m not working i can’t help but smile. things are seemingly almost back to normal! this is good, it allows for better customer service. i’ve found myself talking to more people about more than just...
“let love elevate your self to excellence”
– a yogi tea tab. i thought this was rather nice. i think i ironically found it right after i met a really special girl. specifically the day after.
today was the end of my semester, so to celebrate, i went to the practice space to try to write some songs. tim was there and gave me the info to use his computer which is up there and instead of thinking about or trying to write a song, i realized a song. it was the first time i’ve done something by myself in a long time. at least 6 months. it felt good. i’m lyrics away from finishing...
on the coat tails of my last entry →
hm. interesting how this was written in the late seventies and still holds a lot of truth for today. there are some interesting comparisons between church, then feudal society, and then even further into corporate society. it looks like “anarchy” did exist at one point and worked.
what if the senecas (or any other group of natives to the north americas and so on and so forth for that matter) actually filed land claims? i’d be really interested to see the results if we happened to give it back.
if you could bridge the gap between nostalgia and the now would you? how good could it possibly be? probably great, no - probably awesome, because nostalgia is one of things that ALWAYS feels good. like impossible euphoria, but with in your grasp, sort of.. but isn’t the now, the incredibly fast paced, so much more so interesting? i think it is. i don’t know if i could bank on...

a friend at work told me about this thing. today, she ran home on her break to let me borrow it. i just tried it, but from the bottom up. i am pretty stoked on it, and will be trying it out all week until my back ends up okay. hopefully.
Obama: 152, Hillary: 20 →
marco: From zetahydrae: Those are counts of the bills that both senators have introduced. Obama’s count is in two years as a senator. Hillary’s is in six. And, honestly, most of the ones that she has introduced are just weak, honoring someone or the other, declaring a month/day for “______ awareness,” and naming unnamed courthouses and post offices. smooth! i hope all my friends who support...
what will barack obama do for you? →
thanks to good old rochester weather, i’ll have to wait for 2010 to see the next lunar eclipse. at least i sort of saw the start of it.

i would have reblogged someone elses, but they’re all worthy. so very worthy.
i’ve a hard time. speaking of those things sometimes. so when they happen, …
i once read somewhere, or so i think, that the dirtiest place in a bathroom was the door knob out. so i’ve got a few questions: 1. why is it that very few people actually wash their hands when they’re done with their business? not a bathroom session goes by where someone else in the room doesn’t wash their hands, if someone is in there. 2.does this happen in girls bathrooms too?...
“The “Ghost Telephone” was a canvas sketch made for a vinyl piece...”
– http://www.ubu.com/aspen/aspen3/powers.html#oldenburg a good point of reference for my refuse installation idea.
i’ve never procrastinated in such volume.
at boulder coffee
me: oh shit, i'm about to download some bullshit while the police are next to me
justin: oh fuck!
me: chyea
justin: that's some black flag bullshit right there, they may whip out that billy club
me: i told them to go get fucked
justin: did they put you away?
me: i may serve time
my friend recently returned my reason 3 discs to...
watching the branches twitch outside in the wind while listening to sebastien roux indoors on a lazy sunday afternoon makes for a great sense of calmness and peace. if only you were here next to me.
e mail from art history minor chair:
Hi Travis, I’ve just gone onto SIS and see that you’ve taken a LOT of art history courses! In CIAS you’ve done the survey and 6 upper division courses: Pre-Columbian, Installation, Public Art, Conceptual Art, Art & Technology, and Thinking About Art. In CLA you’ve taken 8 upper division courses: Tech of Organic Materials, Forensic Investigation, Issues in American Art,...

(via nikkigraziano) i want this to repeat in my brain when my eyes are closed and i’m listening to mountains or sebastien roux.
ATTN: BICYCLISTS!
jesseames: it has come to my attention that some anti-bike behavior is being perpetuated and tolerated in rochester. people running around stealing bike parts for their fixies? guess what. the “bike culture” you are trying so desperately to be a part of is NOT about that shady, yellow shit. anyone who has ever had a bike stolen or a wheel stolen or ANYTHING stolen knows that stealing from people...
i was never certain that may was my last moment of being at rit. therefore i was never up on the idea of senioritis. now that i know when i graduate, i’ve no desire to do the bullshit i have to. is it bad to think a c or d that will get me through is okay? i think so, but only in the case of communication in business.
me: dude, it smells like fart out here.. did you fart?
bobby: no, it probably seeped out side the door
(referring to bobby and grant's door)
me: dude, he sleeps so fucking weird.. like with his legs up..
bobby: (points) YOU'VE SEEN THAT. YOU'VE SEEN THAT?!?!
so there's a force somewhere that hates me today.
i might have just undid the $600 repair that was just done on my EIGHTY NINE volvo. yes, that was probably not worth it, but in rochester you need a car. so i had to buckle. i hit some bullshit piece of metal in the middle of the road, and it wasn’t even visible because of the shitty f’n sleet/rain/snow/slush. how many “hipster” nights are needed to fill rochester, a town...

his site hasn’t been updated in a while, but the ideas are still very clever and witty.
Food for thought
marco:What if Obama loses the primary tonight, and runs as an independent for the general election? interesting idea. if hillary is the dem. candidate, i certainly hope this happens.
what fruits and veggies are in season? →
this is awesome! now you know what to buy that will taste the best!
i love my roommate bobby
he can quote any and every line from the movie “heavyweights” while also responding to the question of “how do you smell farts?” he replies “with my nose.”
