i wouldn't normally put something so dark and sardonic up here, but i really liked it.

game notes from the bc game this weekend: "LB Mark Herzlich paid tribute to teammate Clarence Megwa, who shattered his leg the previous week. Herzlich wore Megwa’s Long Ranger-like black eye and also had Megwa’s No. 11 stenciled under one eye."

linkage: Oak Ridge Boasts Fastest Computer at Open Research

this caught my eye because the Dartmouth Crew trains at Oak Ridge, Tennessee every year. I spent two weeks there every spring break for four years, staying at the Days Inn, eating at Shoney's, seat-racing and eating the largest meals of my life.

waiting and wait

waiting and wait

i've been waiting too long to post. i'll work on this.

great celtics game tonight. paul pierce is otherworldly.

this week -- celtics wednesday, pats thursday, celtics friday, celtics AND bc football saturday. jeez, this schedule just doesn't get any easier huh? :)

4th mixtape

4th mixtape

here is the 4th mixtape in the top deck series. some good spacey music, video game music, nice guitar music, awesome underground hip hop. i got more in the works, some heat and a few bangers

i titled the song names with a number to put them in order from 1-12, per Jeff's suggestion (thanks Meff!).

I would highly recomend going out and spending money to buy some of these artists music because they are all very TALENTED and deserving of your money. i really love all this music and want to support these artists and hope that they do well. let's spread the word!

wow how awesome is that? what a night. watched cnn and other news all day, cnn is ridiculous and kind of annoying, but i guess it's their job just to overdo it on everything. watched coverage all day, including the story that Cambridge MA had the wrong voter lists this morning

played some ball this afternoon with Drew that I needed bad, didn't do too much with the arm, but it was my first getting outside and running around a little in like a month. so that was cool. i gotta start gettin back to the gym and gettin on the bike

had a fun night tonight with good cheer and television happiness. no debates about the electoral college :)

everyone came over, we had a good time, we watched the daily show/colbert report thing, we watched the speeches, we talked. it was pretty great.

and it will be when we wake up tmrw too! yayyy!!! anticipate excitement

whew, well. pats lost, but we'll recover hopefully. Andy's fired up for notre dame-bc next week, me not so much. b. leclair is back on the grid, which is good

fun weekend, thursday at good life was righteous, party and afterparty/sitting at my apt were good on halloween (no love to somerville po). saturday was good and relaxing, cept bc lost to clemson. i guess the celtics lost their first game too. im still struggling to watch the celtics bulls game haha

some good photos (i can't wait til i get a new camera, one that takes nicer photos)

chilled out today, played some call of duty. i hear that call of duty 5 is coming out. hmmmm i might have to get that ya know! haha. was about this time last year that call of duty 4 came out, was mad fun then

i suppose i have links to post, but i guess they'd all be to music blogs haha. so not much point. point is -- there are thousands of music blogs, in many languages too! and they rule. and blogger facilitates this. thank you blogger

i hope y'all had great weekends and that your halloween was fun and spooky. night, Dave

Headhunter, nomad, good life

"Every night of his adult life, Doc Rivers says, he has prayed before bedtime. And every night, it was the same thing: ''To win a world championship.''
''And the night we won it, I got on my knees to do my prayer and I said, 'Again,' " the Boston Celtics coach said."

thanks for the ampedness j and roy. glad to hear LA is seeing green and that we're feelin the C's coast to coast! let's go!

here's a basketball blog that i think some of y'all will get a kick out of...Basketbawful

notice ricky with fro and raef with...himself?

aright, i can't use the beginning of the celtics season as a reason not to WRITE. even still, last years celtics season was a little slice of heaven. i managed to watch nearly all of the games except like 3 (which is kind of ridiculous that i would watch that much tv, but if you know me, a lot of tv is not much of a challenge :) )

so here we are, october 28th, the day of reckoning (ooh not really i don't like that, how about just the day of awakening. oooh no that's worse, how about just the day of raising the banner and ceremonializing the rings? k that's better)

cause think about it this way -- basketball is...glorious. i can't really put it any other way. get

AMPED

beat the Cavs!

so fired up right now

so fired up right now





















competing like i ain't got a spot y'all...

"Powe and Davis competed last year with P.J. Brown for minutes in the frontcourt, and then O'Bryant arrived over the summer.

"For me it's team," Powe said. "But I'm going to come out here every day competing. It don't matter to me. When you step on the court, I'm competing like I ain't got a spot. But as far as competition, it's good for the team, good for each other, because it helps you.""

get fired up

"We are so prepared," Ray Allen said yesterday, "that in one-on-ones, it got to the point where guys get in fights. Nobody ever actually fights, but we have a lot of barking on this team, from everybody, and I think you see that machismo among the guys. Everyone wants to feel like the top dog. Ultimately, we take that and translate it to the team concept, and everything we do helps the team.

urban cut

well, i hear that a lotta yall (even if it's only a few :) ) like reading this blog, so that makes me happy, and i'll keep on posting

it's late, i'm sleepy, late party last night, windy stormy weather outside

bc lost by many, many points today. they're still in the drivers seat though, just need to win the rest of their acc games

also, the celtics regular season begins this week. oct 28 at 8pm against the cavs and king james (i like the king more than i did last season, think he'll average 30 a game this year? mvp? how bout pierce for mvp? yeah that's what i'm talkin about)

so i'm wearing my KG shirt, gettin fired up

partied at amy/jesse/jens last night. fun times, good folks, tough ipod mix haha but it's cool. good times!

Rena came down yesterday and we had a lot of fun and walked around MIT and that crazy dorm building that i don't feel like looking up right now. but it was good and we walked to the charles and walked through the main MIT building and around cambridge

well, there's plenty to talk about, and plenty links to post, but i'm feelin sleepy and just wanna send good vibes out to yall. this blog is mad fun and it's fun stayin in touch with everyone.

notice the preponderance of the words good and fun? haha

last night i heard that everything happens for a good reason. i'll think about it :)

funny article about the 150k that someone thought was a good idea to blow on clothes

nother article, gotta do it Movie Review: Synecdoche, New York (2008)

shout to Jeff and everyone in Schenectady, where this movie takes place. i really wanna see it! i love Philip Seymour Hoffman, ya know?

this is a poster that i really like that i had to save. pretty cool huh? for some reason i think i think about a constellation when i look at it. pretty sweet. i wanna go to england pretty bad so i can go see dubstep shows

i made a new mix and i've got all the tracks i just need to upload it, does anyone really even listen to these things? whatever i still enjoy it :)

i've kinda got the world series on. i've decided that at most i will watch the last three innings of every game, and only then with the sound off haha

so i got yellow curry tonight, which is my goto thai food dish, and it was really good, but get this...(it's pretty scary)...

there were NO PINEAPPLES. none. i saw a potato and i thought it looked like a pineapple but it WASN'T. it was an IMPOSTOR. i'm glad that potatoes taste like potatoes, and that pineapples taste like pineapples, but i really would have liked it if halfway through the meal the potatoes had changed to pineapples. didn't happen though. also it would have been nice if a couple of the carrots were like, something else too

ohhohhhhohhhhohhhh (can you hear me singing?)

everyone's a winner

everyone's a winner

gimme a little more time and i'll actually write something again

temporal determinants

i went and saw "Man on Wire (2008)" tonight at coolidge corner theater which was really good. the theater was tiny and there were only like 17 seats which i thought was pretty cool.

i got pizza and other food from pizza republic in coolidge. the pizza was GOOD.

also, i'm gonna kinda miss not wearing the sling. everyone's so nice! reminds me of in the movie i saw tonight how the guy used crutches to talk his way into places he wasn't supposed to be. kind of

this photo's from a story i saw on fark.com -- yup, a boat with bags of chips cracked open or something, and voila. whoa, i musta seen a movie about french ppl tonight. tres funny!

heya

it was many things this weekend, but most of all it was head of the charles and it was dartmouth homecoming

saw this in the d today...

"“This involved a group of people who claimed to be ‘03 alumni, and one became belligerent,” he said. “He took a steak off the grill and struck a student in the face with it.”

In addition to the reported fights, two pieces of heavy equipment were stolen from Red Rolfe Field, the construction site of a new Dartmouth baseball field, on consecutive nights, according to Kinne.

Both items, a front loader and a dump truck, were found by Safety and Security on the front lawn of Chi Heorot fraternity on Saturday and Sunday morning, respectively. Police are still investigating the incidents."

Homecoming brings arrests, severe burns

and a couple drunk kids touched very hot embers, i hope they're ok

thanks again for a great photo Faith!

"How do we know who we are or what we can become? We tell ourselves stories. The stories we tell are what we know of ourselves. We are a creation, a product of our own minds, a pastiche of memory, dream, fear, desire. My memory looks like a chil’s collage, or a ransom note, incomplete and full of holes. All I have is today, this moment, to work with. I am writing my story as I go. I am inventing myself one moment, one experience, at a time."

"Quixote seems a bizarre fellow at first acquaintance, but most of those who come into contact with him end up half converted to his wa of thinking, and therefore half quixotic themselves. If there is any lesson he teaches, it is that in the interest of a better, more lively world it might not be a bad idea to cultivate in oneself a capacity for dissociation, not necessarily under conscious control, even though this might lead outsiders to conclude that one suffers from delusions."

"The Falcons victory marked only the third time since the NFL merger in 1970 that a team has won a game after losing the lead with less than 15 seconds remaining."

Bye week better after win for Matt Ryan

Ryan wildly exceeding expectations for rejuvenated Falcons

also, sounds like he's gonna be at the bc vtech game this weekend, maybe ill get to see him at halftime! yahh!! hate to love some guy on another team so much, but it was the first time i had really been able to watch the falcons, and it was just such a nutty game.

can you believe that it's only happened 3 times since 1970? crazy!!

what is the sound of one nfl team losing?

"Talking the talk: An NBA source said the consensus among the league's referees is that the player and coach who use the most choice words during games are Boston's Kevin Garnett and Utah's Jerry Sloan. The source also said the referees take into account that it's just part of their intense makeup and they have learned not to take it personally."

starting a new uk underground/garage podcast

i've been playing around with the idea of starting a podcast for a while now. electronic music, hip hop, and all things UK are my current fave genres, so i put together a little podcast

it's enhanced, which means that there are chapters and album artwork and you can bounce around in the track. a lil dubstep and uk hip hop for good measure. i dono what i'm gonna end up calling my dj name or what i would call the series, but for the time being...

There were parties thrown in Pierce's honor in Los Angeles, Las Vegas, and Boston. He sat down with late-night TV hosts Conan O'Brien and Jimmy Kimmel. "P-Squared" was finally a star outside Boston, and he's "working on a couple things" endorsement-wise that could come to light by the time the season starts. Oh yeah, keep an eye out for his Nike signature sneaker with his left forearm tattoo, "My Gift. My Curse," on it.

k those are some good ones. gotta go lift weights today, last time i'm gonna be able to do that for a while! got shoulder surgery scheduled for thursday, finally gonna get it over with, gonna suck, but i'll be alright. we'll see how the sling thing goes, i'm sure i'll be able to use a keyboard ok

weather's kinda lame. i read the metro this morning and there was a letter to the editor about how all the negative press about palin is actually bad for the democrats because it is A LOT OF PRESS which means that they are getting a lot of ATTENTION which is NOT A GOOD THING.

think about how many times you've seen biden recently? like, none. press -- you're blowin it, stop the palin stories, we know she's beyond brutal

pbs poll -- do you think sarah palin is qualified to be vice president?

got forwarded this this morning, i forwarded it on, posting it here, apparently republicans got wind of this beforehand and are gonna try to win it, which is wack

sarah palin is the HARRIET MIERS of this years election. it doesn't get any more simple. she is so beyond unqualified it's a joke. of course calling anyone QUALIFIED is an effort in imagination and extrapolation, but she is clearly not the person for the job.

we are taking the attention away from barack OBAMA. also, watched daily show and colbert last night. two themes from the debate -- mccain saying barack doesn't "understand" things and then barack saying that mccain is "right." barack -- it's a debate yo. it's a DEBATE. come on

k there's my political rant. the last 8 years have resulted in hurting this country and the world. feeling unempowwered and disenfranchised you have to SPEAK UP and show that you still CARE

vote on nov 4. our voter turnout is so low that it's a joke, let's change that. get involved

wow celtics preseason games already?

was gonna drive up friday, but rain was bad and it was better to be inside with paul and kate and farah

drove up yesterday, went to ebas at 6, saw pete and everyone and scott and alums and talked to undergrads. they were all so nice and happy and eager and introduced themselves to us.

Rena compiled another poem from my blog, thus I am elated. Read her post at the Kore Press blog and hit up the comments section.



I gotta go to a gallery
in my shaq dunkmans,
relaxing alternating with aspirations and intermittent accomplishments.
Please support the artist.
Traveling to suburban libraries, I had to build levees.
The bartender had to come over and say that his ears couldn't handle it.
I had the best burrito of my life.
This poor guy in the Ukraine wishes he wasn't tall.
Protein bars or protein shakes?
There is more granite in Vermont than in New Hampshire.

eh pretty clever for a random creative blogpost huh?

i didn't go to that show last night because i got sick, but i'm feeling better now. stupid stomach bug

widgets are cool, i just installed a blogger widget to show who comes to the page

although these widgets are kind of cool. i'm always looking at them when i'm on this computer which is falling apart, monitor held together by binder clips, guts and cables spilling out

my network works fine now after i got mad at comcast then realized it was my fault because all i needed to do was turn off the turbo on my router (dummy)

my calendar is cool, the neon green on black is a fave of mine, design is pretty brilliant too, thanks to apple

the sol widget that shows you where you are in the day with the sunrise and sunset is pretty cool. cept i never seem to be too conscious of when the sunrise and sunset are. i'm always sleeping through the sunrise, and i don't have any great view of a sunset, more of a church, which isn't so bad

the upload/download widget is cool and shows me how rapidly i'm depleting the few square inches of space i have left on my hard drive

the weather widget is awesome, seems like the weather is always up to something! except you know what i find kind of annoying? get this -- when there's only like a 20 or 30 percent chance of rain then the icon turns to rain?!!?? but that only means it might rain!! ya know?!?!

yeah, you know what i mean, i think i'm just bitter from all the rain this summer

i've become a professional music downloader, i've been pretty lucky and gotten pretty good and come across some really good stuff. here is a pretty amazing mp3 disclaimer i found. oh yeah mp3 disclaimers are for *******

"You can not download music from this page just you can watch links. In spite of this webpage come into being for popularization of electronic music.If you even so decide to download this PROMOTION music than you do this your own responsibility and you have to remove this within 24 hours then again you commit delinquency.You can purchase original version in shops."

from the wikipedia entry for bao xishun, who is the 2nd tallest person in the world (first tallest is this poor guy in ukraine who wishes he wasn't tall):

"In December 2006, Bao Xishun was asked by veterinarians to assist them in removing shards of plastic from the stomachs of two dolphins. The dolphins had accidentally swallowed the shards, which had settled in their stomachs and caused a loss of appetite and depression. Veterinarians had failed to remove them, so Bao Xishun used his 1.06 metre-long arms to reach into the dolphins' stomachs, to remove the plastic manually.[3] The manager of the aquarium, the Royal Jidi Ocean World, confirmed, "When we failed to get the objects out we sought the help of Bao Xishun from Inner Mongolia and he did it successfully yesterday. The two dolphins are expected to make a full recovery."[4] (A similar operation was performed by American basketball player Clifford Ray, who was asked to use his long arms to save a California dolphin in 1978.)[5]"
