What am I? Out of the loop. What else am I? Nosey. It’s bad. I’m so that guy that can detect scandal and generalized gossip from across the room and BOLTS to the epicenter to say “what? what’s happening? who are we talking about?” Usually the guy everybody hates but typically people LOVE to give the juicy bits up when I ask. Folks love to tell me stuff, always have, no clue why. I shouldn’t be trusted. Anyway, here I am, an entire MONTH late, to talk about what all happened at the VMA’s. Everybody’s caught up with the whole […]
Gaga + Alexander McQueen…
[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pUvFTc2mlNY&hl=en&fs=1&] Lady Gaga premiered her new song (due out on the re-release of “The Fame – Monster” in late november) at the exhibition of McQueen’s spring/summer 2010 line “Plato’s Atlantis”. This song, “Bad Romance” is built for the runway. It’s pointless, talks about love but in a generalized but off-beat way, has an easy beat to strut to, talks about fashion… Everything about it SCREAMS runway. And I always love Alexander McQueen. He’s weird. Eccentric. Great friends with Christian Lacroix. He always makes stuff that’s fun to look at. This year his line is inspired by Atlantis, ad this is […]
Quitting with Facebook…
Today marks, officially, my two weeks without any form of nicotine. Along the way, I facebooked my progress like CRAZY. I’m sure my posts got annoying at times, but eff it. It got me through. Everyone’s quitting experience is different, but here’s a visual journey with me as I quit smoking and how it effected me. And now, I shall detail my journey as only my facebook updates can tell. October 1 at 1:14pm Justin Thyme has embarked on the road whose course does not turn back. “Ana Harrani Sa Alaktasa La Tarat” – Ancient Sumerian Phrase. 24 FULL hours […]
The Peace Prize, Really???
The past few months have been a total whirlwind for me – I’ve lived in New York, I’ve moved back, I’ve shifted around like a vagabond, I’ve gotten moved into a new place with a new roommate, I’ve quit smoking, and took over three small third world countries. “Nuff said. Anyway, so much has been happening in our world that I haven’t even been able to keep up with it. For instance – Obama wins the Nobel Peace Prize? What the eff? For what? See, this is why politics suck ass. I really really want to like this man. And […]
This Season So Far…
Episode 1 – The Daisies Don’t Smell So Sweet Anymore… The season begins with our Hero, Justin Thyme, returning from spending the summer at an opera camp in Upstate New York. On his arrival he discovers that his roommates are not only moving out – they’re moving out RIGHT NOW. He’s given three weeks to find a new apartment with his long time friend Eric as things begin to get heated on the home front. Justin and Eric find a great apartment except there’s one catch – it won’t be available until the 12th of september and he has to […]
That’s Enough, Fred Armisen.
To start off, I haven’t watched Saturday Night Live in YEARS. Last night as I watched the season premier (I think it was, at least. I dunno I don’t watch the crap.) remembered there was a REASON I haven’t enjoyed a sketch on SNL since the good old days when SNL had actual TALENT on their show. The episode started off with some douche-bag who can’t act, Fred Armisen, doing the worst impression of Obama that I have EVER seen. He did NOTHING besides dress in a suit and highly offensive black face makeup to suggest he was trying to […]
The Vice
I I was born in 1980, a time when you could still smoke in the mall, restaurants, wal-mart – I think by that time people had pretty much laid off smoking in doctor’s offices but everywhere else was pretty fair game. Both my parents smoked. Hell, EVERYBODY smoked. It was fun, cool, smooth-tasting, and got you a SHIT TON of “poon tang”. Everyone always told me not to smoke, but it was really like sitting on the edge of the skating rink while everyone, literally EVERYONE is skating and having fun, dipping over to you every time they pass to […]
I carry on and on and on…
Here I sit in an anonymous library in an anonymous town somewhere far away from the close comforts of the 50 people I spent the last three months coexisting with. Its like I’m one of those abductees that take forever to readjust to life in the free world. Except I enjoyed my captivity. Now that I’m back though it’s like watching a season premier of your favorite TV drama. You know, you watch the premier and say “what the eff, everything is different now!” Like to start, the producers of my little sitcom show of a life have me carrying […]
Hungover Babble…
First off, can I say how much youtube is starting to SUCK ASS since everybody and their mom has a guitar/keyboard/ukulele/kazoo and a built-in webcam in their pretentious little macbooks (I say that because I’m jealous and want one. I want to be pretentious too…). It’s next to impossible to find a real video of a real song, everyone has a crappy little cover of someone else’s song that they’ve posted up on the youtube, especially weepy whiney singers like Tori Amos and Ani Difranco… who I admittedly love and want to watch videos of all the time. I could […]
