Tale of the tapes:
Pacey Foster tells the story of Boston hip-hop

Photos of Boston's hip-hop history

Beat Research: experimental party music

monday nights at enormous room are always good anyway. one of my favs.

inspiration

inspiration comes in many forms. in this case, it came in the form of a comment and a letter. i'm feeling newly reenergized.

this photo of a lone basketball hoop in rural alaska sums up how i was feeling a couple nights ago -- alone in the wilderness, leaning to one side with no net to catch me. but let's see if i can make a transition here.

well, it was a good thanksgiving. nothing too exciting. a lot of food. i was so tired after the meal from the turkey and food and a lil beer and wine. i was drowsy for the whole rest of the day! in other years there would be a post meal nap or at least quiet time, but that ended up not happening this year.

honestly, if i had tried, i would have probably been able to walk right upstairs and fall asleep in a bed after that meal. but i decided against it.

just now i had to turn the tv off because there's so much college basketball and football on. at some point the tv's just been on too much and you gotta give it a rest. so yeah you can tell i've been taking it pretty easy.

i actually spontaneously decided to cook tonight. i'm cooking up some ribs, boiling them in bbq sauce actually. here's the recipe, i'll let you know how it comes out. i'm gonna have some rice pilaf and mashed sweet potatoes on the side.

Best Stovetop BBQ Ribs

yummmmmy. i added some hot banana peppers and some of the juice to spice it up a little. yeahhhhh

nasty weather out today. very grey and rainy. looks like tmrw might be a little nasty too, with some rain or snow.

oh well. i'm gonna eat dinner with some friends. for this i am thankful.

empathy and trust

i need to understand these concepts. empathy. and trust. what do they mean to me?

i just saw them in the description of an nytimes most e-mailed articles article. apparently empathy and trust are the "the twin emotional pillars of civilized life". hmmm, interesting.

what are the twin emotional pillars of uncivilized life? haha.

hmmmm more to come on this topic. but i think i should be structuring my life around cultivating empathy and trust. in everything. somehow.

aright ive got a link

ive been watching basketball all night...

this is a GOOD link tho. i need to get some opinions on whether or not to stop the blog, its a big decision. its just disappointing that im not writing much. i really like writing but...im full of excuses.

At the First Obama State Dinner, the First State Dinner Crashers

hmmmm

YES

"Nov. 18, 7:12 p.m. Lyme Road Hanover Police received a report of suspicious activity when an individual was observed in a sand pit beside his car. When police officers arrived, they learned that the individual was a Dartmouth professor performing research on crickets."

hey i went and saw times new viking tonight at great scott. it was awesome. except now its really late and my ears are ringing.

didnt leave the house today til late. finally made it out and went to a potluck. i brought a pumpkin pie but there was already a pumpkin pie there. but i did contribute whipped cream. otherwise i would have been empty handed.

the costco pumpkin pie was good.

times new viking was good.

what you say

wellll.....but of course you did....

i have songs from jamn 94.5 stuck in my head. ive started listening to it a little bit and of course all they do is play the same songs every hour so you can tune in 10 separate times a day and hear the same song every time.

yeahhh so whats up? i went to the celtics game with jeff a couple nights ago which was fun. i gotta go right now, but ill cya later

here's a genius halloween stume for ya.

these are really good links

Art Strikes Back: art inspired by Star Wars. some great pieces. Jeff went to the show today and told me i have to go. i definitely should.

Selling Bernie Madoff's belongings: gallery of all the houses and stuff and boats owned by Bernie Madoff. apparently he was obsessed with the image of a bull. even his boat was called "BULL"

yeah i'm hanging out in Brighton. watched football today, watching some celtics and bruins now, not sure if im gonna stay for boxing though.

everything's going pretty well. haven't gone to the gym in a couple weeks tho, so i gotta work on that.

rainy today. went to the bc dartmouth basketball game last night with jeff was a lot of fun, even if a couple of the bc players were suspended for it (grrr). but fun nonetheless, good student turnout too.

aright now im home. gonna watch some celtics and fool around with the ps3 (the netflix ps3 app disc arrived in the mail today, instant queue here we come...)

shivani took a great photo of me. you can find it at shivspix.

unclear

Here is a post composed in microsoft word. Notice that some of the words have capitals. It is actually easier to read this way, hence a very good reason to continue composing posts in microsoft word. See, we’re making progress here!

Also when I write a lot in microsoft word it doesn’t look like a lot, unlike when I am writing in blogger. So I’m motivated to type and write more. This could work…


Ok well I need to figure out how to be more creative. Honestly I can just ramble all day and type nonsense but I’m not really sure what the point of it is.

Lemme get back to you

a very spooky halloween

yo how's it going.

i'm going to try to be less boring.

it starts now. i have a recommendation for you. fogdog.com (that is all)

sun's going down pretty early now. daylight savings time was cool tho, getting a whole fresh hour in the middle of the night.

i should start composing quality posts in word then publishing them. i think im gonna go do that right now actually.

oh yeah i remembered that drew called me out for not posting any links. after, this is a blog about impressive things. what's impressive about talking about your day and what you did yesterday?

you want links?

i got links...

exploding dog (online comic where the guy makes comics based on what people write in to him)

Top 100 Essential Mac Applications (lot of good shareware ideas in here. good stuff)

LEXIA TO PERPLEXIA [Talan Memmott] (this was impressive maybe 10 years ago. now it just doesnt even work. shows how far the internet has come, as well as the post-modern)

aright i've had those links for a long time. i havent really been posting any new or exciting stuff that i've been finding recently. lemme try to get something.

how about just fark? im gonna add it to the internet. fark's great.

callin me ouuuut

sup yall. drew called me out last night for dropping the ball on the blog and i was like hey drew at least it's still on the train.

so i'm gonna try and rally. just sittin here eatin the daily banana and drinking water. i lost the top to my water bottle at chriss party a couple weekends ago, so im now im strictly a no-water-bottle-cap-drinking kinda guy.

dolphins jets is on tv. revs playoff game is on tv too. recording it. celtics game is on at 6pm. no pats game today (bye).

went to lukes halloween party last night. originally it was dangela/bens party, but then they moved. but it was fun. i was there super late. its really close by. one of my friends moved really close to me, so it was easy to carpool.

the bc central michigan game yesterday was pretty good. fun to watch. the rest of the season should be interesting.

ok, ill cya later.

i had to steal this photo cause i thought it was so cool. thanks Rebecca!
