Just got home, but I’m still sitting in my driveway cause the song I’m listening to is incredible.

Sigur Ros - Untitled 3

I have a lot of good memories associated with this song. When I was a freshman in college I discovered this album and it blew me away. I would stay up all night in the photo lab listening to Sigur Ros and The Postal Service. I wish I had the time nowadays to delve into music like I used to…

Cities Aviv and a surprise pug

I love seeing this photo in random places on the internet. I shot this earlier in the year in my backyard. That’s Milo sitting by the fence.

Live your dreams and never follow.

One of my best friends/roommate/coworker is moving away tomorrow. Today is his last day at work with me after 5 and a half years. He’s been the only reason I’ve been able to stay at a job that I hate so much for so long. We’ve only lived together for around 8 months or so, but it has been great. I’m definitely sad to see him leave, but at the same time I’m really excited for him. He’s pursuing his dream of becoming a commercial pilot and I know he’s gonna have the time of his life in flight school. Luckily he’s only going to be 3 hours away in Smyrna. I’ll definitely be doing my best to visit. Here’s to you, Matt, we will miss having you around.

I’m not real big on guns and I don’t think I’ll ever own one. This was fun as hell though. Blasting off 20 rounds in 30 seconds from an AK-47 into a lake is pretty awesome.

This song and the whole soundtrack for Drive are sooo good. I need to see that movie again ASAP. Man crush on Ryan Gosling? Maybe.

RIP my debit card. It got stuck in the jukebox at the P&H and I couldn’t get it out without breaking it. I guess cash is king til I get a new one.

Welcome to the pug life.

Today has been a pretty good day so far. We are in the “slow season” at work so there really isn’t anything going on. Luckily I can get away with coming in to work for a little bit and then pretty much doing whatever I want.

For lunch today, I made the 25 minute drive to eat at one of my favorite restaurants. I met up with Newman, Adam, Chad, and Kirby to eat at Pho Binh (formerly Pho Hoa Binh). The finest Vietnamese food in the city. They have an incredible lunch buffet that is cheap and both vegan/vegetarian and meat eater friendly. The options today were green bean tofu (personal favorite), lemongrass tofu (classic favorite), and pineapple tofu. It’s not very often that you get green bean on the buffet so I had to take full advantage. It was delicious. Jason, Jeanie, and Patrick ended up being there as well. Jason owed me money so he bought my lunch. Score!

After lunch, we went over to browse around at Goner Records. As much as I try to not spend money when I go in there, it never fails. I did pretty good though and only bought three records. Today’s pick up:

Iceage “New Brigade” LP
Mikal Cronin “Tide” 7”
Life Trap “Solitary Confinement” 7”

I’m bout to head downtown for the Grizzlies home opener. I can’t tell you how excited I am for basketball to be back. This is my fourth year as a season ticket holder and I love it. Go Grizz!
