Random Acts of Journalism

Note #9 – 3/23/2009 – 9:35pm – If you’re pissed that you have to press 1 for english, blaming Mexicans may be misguided. Blame the American companies that are catering to them while they outsource your job.

Note #8 – 3/7/2009 – 4:15pm – We can’t save the planet. The earth will be fine. We’re the ones that are fucked. We’re just another failed mutation.

(See Note 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7)

Note #7 – 10-23-2008 – 10:00 am – There’s a girl with an Obama sticker on her car pouring about a gallon of water out on the street.

(See Note 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6)

Note #6 – 9/19/2008 – 12:04pm - Because there’s no I in “Go fuck yourself.”
(See Note 1, 2, 3, 4, 5)

Note #5 – 2/13/2009 8:02 am -There is no amount of madness I can have at myself for not working hard enough that would actually make me work hard enough.

There’s no amount of wanting to be home on the couch with my girlfriend to get me to do my work and get home to that couch. There is no army, no boss, no pills, no god worth noticing to get me to focus on one task at a time, complete it and then know what is next and repeat the process again.
(See Note 1, 2, 3, 4)

Note #4 – 4/19/2009 – 10:01 am – The first thing I do when I wake up every morning is to doubt the sincerity of everything I’m going to experience that day. Family, friends, news, govt., music, movies…everything. They all have ulterior motives and less than genuine intentions.

I’m often struck with inspiration, funny/clever thoughts, emotions that i can suddenly put into words, etc. during the times that i’m furthest away from a computer or pad of paper. Thankfully, i’ve had a smartphone for the last 2 years that has a Note function, allowing me to quickly write whatever is rattling around my brain. I’m thinking that all of these saved up will end up as lines in “The Book That I’ll Never Write” (it’s a working title…) but for the next couple of days i’m going to post them here, one-by-one, Post-Secret style with no editing, explanation or context about where i was, what i was doing, who i was with or what my Blood Alcohol Level was. I will provide the date and time when it was written. Some of them are happy, some sad, some meaningless, some plagiarized, some depressing…all of them probably way too personal to be sharing.

I’m not looking for sympathy or encouragement or commentary per se, but i would love is to hear what that line or sentence or thought made you think, feel, meant to your own life, etc. I think it could be interesting collection so please share.

Note #3 – 9/16/2008 – 10:34 – An airplane is the only place where people from different towns, cities, states and lives pay to sit that close to one another. In that few hours, you can be anyone you want to be, make up any story or perception you want and people believe you because that’s what you do on planes…tell the truth.

In totally random order:

Note #1 – 9/16/2008, 10:34 AM – In guitar there’s a hand position that I could never do automatically…so I just never did it. A little practice, a little work and I probably could have done it. But nope. Never did. Metaphor for my entire life.
