Meme me
Thank you Shane. After a hectic day of getting used to city life I felt I was too tired to think of anything useful to say. Then The Beetle One tags me for some little meme and *bam!* there’s a post. Let’s look back…and to the future!
1. Ten years ago:
Why, I wasn’t even born yet! No, I was born and I was 12 (that actually even surprised me). I was trying to get a handle on this girlfriend thing with a lovely woman named Courtney. I was also beginning my love of music by discovering one punk rock band and then the band that influenced them and then the band that influenced them and so on. Pretty soon I was the only middle school student in Moorpark, CA that knew who the Minutemen and Husker Du was. A title I held with honor.
2. Five years ago:
I was enjoying what I now know is the greatest year of my life. The small alternative high school I was in was filled with smart and witty people. We all got along and all made each other better people. The teachers were all about discussing works instead of giving us papers (it really was the start of this blog).
I had some really great friends then, only one of which I see now and then barely ever.
3. One year ago:
Worrying about transferring to colleges and getting some real work as a writer. Thankfully I’ve reached at least some success in both areas.
4. Yesterday:
Took my first MUNI rail car down to Haight and went to Amoeba, as well as making a mental note to myself to check out the Red Vic when they play Barbarella.
5. Today:
Woke up at 1:40 a.m. because of fake fire alarms, didn’t get to sleep until 6:00 or so. Then I had a terrible time trying to figure out what bus to get on simply to get to the post office (I’m thinking of bringing my car up here). Felt fucking shot in the head because of city life. Thank God for multiple naps.
6. Tomorrow:
New comics day in a new comics store.
7. Five snacks I enjoy:
Popcorn. Peanuts. Those Cheese Crunchers at Trader Joe’s. The Hawaiian chips at the same store. Children.
8. Five bands I know the lyrics of most of their songs:
The Beatles, The Ramones, Velvet Underground, AC/DC and one more that I forgot.
9. Five things I would do with $100,000,000:
Get a house all to myself is the first one I can think of. Have it totally paid off and then just live there in some nice suburb like Pasadena. I probably wouldn’t go outside much.
10. Five locations I'd like to run away to:
NYC. Pasadena (I don’t know, I just like it there!). Carrick Macross, Ireland (where my Mom is from). Glasgow, Scotland (where my Dad is from). San Diego (I born there).
11. Five Bad Habits:
Can worrying about yourself too much just be one big bad habit that causes all the problems in my life be my one answer? I’m trying hard to get myself to relax, hopefully I’ll get somewhere.
12. Five things I like doing:
Comics, listening to hip-hop, watching movies in revival theaters, playing guitar and meditating (that’s how I try to relax).
13. Five TV shows I like:
The Simpsons, The Daily Show with John Stewart, Deadwood, The Shield and shitty vapid shows on VH1, E! or Bravo.
14. Famous People I'd like to meet, living or dead.
Scarlett Johansson, just to see if I have a shot with her (I think I already know the answer).
15. Biggest joys at the moment:
Just to see if anyone is still reading this far, write “Vootie” in the comments section please. Thank you.
16. Favorite toys:
My brain.
17. Five people to tag:
Do it, don’t do it. It’s totally up to you.
