Blogs Suck, and this totally isn't a real blog

The thing is, I suck at blogging. We'll do twenty five again. That's my only hope.

I'm stealing from Spencer, but adding ten so it fits in my ridiculousness.

Think of 25 albums, CDs, LPs (if you're over 40) that had such a profound effect on you they changed your life. Dug into your soul. Music that brought you to life when you heard it. Royally affected you, kicked you in the wasu, literally socked you in the gut, is what I mean. Then when you finish, tag 15 others, including moi. Make sure you copy and paste this part so they know the drill. Get the idea now? Good. Tag, you're it!

25 is the number

The thing is, in school I sucked at writing if I was given options. I was a good writer if I had a narrow range of personal freedom. So, putting that into "blogging," I'm going to go with that 25 craze that I have so easily fallen for. Now, there'll be different 25's to keep you on your toes... or not... but this is mainly for me. Thanks.

Today is 25 thoughts that crossed my mind today.

1. Why won't you buy my bike? 

2. Fuck I'm broke.

3.  I love you.

4. I made a great lunch.

5. Sorry! Didn't mean to wake you Mere Bear.

6. Nice blog Spencer.

7. I would really like a new board.

8. I wish it were warm and sunny.

9. I want to be a police officer... wait... what?

10. I'm all out of coke. Time to refill.

11. Sure would be nice if my ollie wasn't -0.21 inches.

12. Sure would be nice if I could get somewhere skating this year.

13. I'm going to get somewhere skating this year. Even if it's only noticeable to myself.

14. Chris Brown is a homosexual.

15. So is Missy.

16. So I hear Whitney is coming back with a bang. I sure hope so. I can't wait.

17. Why have I still not listened to Andrew Bird's new album. Or Fleet Foxes. There just a room away..

18. You know I ain't the type to walk around wearing matching shirts.... yes I am.

19. There were times when I needed someone... you have been by my side. Don't see that ever changing. 

20. It's important we communicate, too bad I live alone in my head.

21. It don't take a whole day to recognize sunshine, so why are there shady patches.

22. I haven't felt this good in how long? So long. Maybe it's unnatural, but I'm so down.

23. There is a light that shines special for you and me, even if it's red.

24. I thought two of my customers were prostitutes today. Not because they looked the part, which they did, but, this older swank lady said something of the sort, all friendly like, and I think I just overheard it wrong because it would have been way too weird.

25. Yes, I will keep drinking water.

England

The thing is, Chicago is awesome, but everywhere I turn, I fall for some British band or artist. I never was into England or British culture, outside of the early punk scene, but... I owe them some credit. They're more than just stuck up stiffies. I want to go. I do. It also helps that they're English speakers. 

As for travel, I really want to go to South America, but I have to learn Spanish and Portuguese first. Fuck.

So my super cheesy TV sitcom crush is in a great band, and English. Who knew? I sure as hell didn't. I appreciate it. 

Also, crust is really interesting.

I wish I skated today, I missed it. What a beautiful day.  

Newbie

The thing is, I've been replacing my social life with Scrubs, and I love it. Anyway.

I don't really know how to blog. The act of being a blogger is frustrating for me. I don't want to be completely vain and ramble about myself (as I am), but I don't know what else to write about, seeing as my life is all around me.

Skateboarding has been a life saver. I mean, of course I'm a waste of space out there, but it's been heavenly. The act of skating, and the people involved, I owe much thanks... even though I'm completely awkward out there and barely mumble a few words outside of those shared with Mere. One day I won't be the weirdo mumbling in the corner. 

I haven't touched a piano since I decided to change my major.

I suck, horribly, with money. 

I am all over the place these days, but that's OK...

I just wouldn't mind an ipod, my new tattoo, time to skate, clarity, and taco money.
