FLAMING LIPS MP3
[MONEY]...Pink Floyd cover...with some Henry Rollins guest vocals. I can honestly say, I won't be listening to it more than twice, but its worth a once over.

GETTING FROM NETFLIX TOMORROW
"Documentarian Marc Singer trains his camera on a group of homeless people who live deep underground in an abandoned New York City railroad tunnel and scavenge for food on the mean streets of Manhattan. At night, they retreat to the tunnel, where they've built huts out of scrap metal, plastic and plywood. Amazingly, they have electricity, furniture, working kitchens -- and a sense of community that many surface dwellers would envy."

FULL NOON FIASCO
As the year winds down don't forget there is a whole new year and it has bikes...
"Start the new year off right and make a resolution to join your Fucking Bike Club on Friday, January 1, 2010 at twelve noon, for The Full Noon Fiasco.
Set an alarm now but don't stress bringing a blinky light. The FBC is gonna do it in the day time, with hang overs! Brush your teeth with Mountain Dew, throw on some clothes and meet at Turtle Park around 11:30am the ride leaves at high noon sharp."

PINS & NEEDLES
I finished my bowling pin last night...but I forgot my camera at work, so hopefully I'll remember to take it home tonight and I can post shots tomorrow.
...and I have show info.
Saturday, January 16
5:00-11:00
Alton, IL something Ballroom...
Its apparently an art show and an auction benefitting a charity of sorts. It'll feature bowling pins and tattoo art (the needles part...clever right) Check out the screen shot...its a dumb facebook invite thingy...and I don't have a facebook page or whatever because I'm not a socially retarded 12 year old...so I couldn't copy the info and I really don't want to type it out. So read the png and plan on coming out.
For those of you who just thought "...but that's your birthday weekend, we'll be in some super rad place like Dinosaur World or Nashville or something..." I know it sucks but birthday trip is cancelled this year...I'll be headed to Montreal in March, so unfortunately one trip that close together is all I can swing... Fear not though, we'll figure something out in the Lou.

FROM ME TO YOU...
Merry made up day, consider this my xmas card...and yes my coworker Donner is dressed up like a stocking.

SO I BOUGHT A PIPE
...a Peterson, Killarney Ebony 03 Fishtail to be exact. I don't want to smoke habitually... and since quitting, the need is definitely gone. So why buy into another vice...I enjoy the Saturday morning coffee relaxation smoking. And I figure right moment smoking can't be all bad and its not going to be a constant everyday thing...so to me a pipe makes perfect sense. Cigarettes no. But in 4-7 days (shipping) I may have an occasional smoke of the ol' fishtail.
WALL OF DEATH
Circa 1929, Wall of Death, Revere Beach, MA
I wish circuses were half as cool as they once were...lion in a sidecar, while racing a motorcycle on the Wall of Death...well played sir.

FUNNY
I was looking through some old folders for some reference and I came across this gem...It was after a promotion we were running at the time in a test market...I was drunk (successful promotion)...and I ate this burrito in one sitting. I may or may not have pooped my pants...the memory escapes me.
CARBON DATER
Carbon Dater is a black diamond-tipped carbon pen for writing and illustrating directly into glass... and I want it.

BEAUTIFUL LOSERS
...great movie. Very inspirational. Watch it...all of you, though I do disagree with some of the views on commercial art towards the end. Not because, yeah, I am a commercial artist by day (well it might have a little to do with it)...but some of the artist's reasoning on a few points. But rent it, buy it or borrow it.

THE HIVES & CYNDI LAUPER XMAS MP3
[A XMAS DUEL]...enjoy. And don't worry...picks up about 1:08. Who the fuck, anyway, wants a xmas tree?

NEW YEARS EVE
New Years was briefly brought up yesterday...and it seems a lot of peeps are in agreement about not wanting to do the $X at a bar thing...and Forest Park is a nightmare. So let me know if there is any interest in me throwing a shin dig at my place...something to stick in the back of your gourd for the next week or so.
XMAS MUSTACHE
Decided I should probably have a mustache for xmas and you probably should too...
Think about it. The pictures your family will most likely take will be a whole lot funnier in like 10 years when you look back at them. Just throwing it out there...got to think of the big picture here.

WEEKEND NIGHTMARE REVIEW PT. 1
...so best nightmare of the weekend is up for review.
In the dark corner we have watching a strange man (don't know who) being baptized in a swampy river of blood behind my uncle's old farm. And none of that couple drops on the forehead shit, this was that weird dunk under water (in this case blood) shit.
And boasting a sweaty wake up, we have falling to my death from a faulty giant (like ten stories giant) escalator in a Goodwill. It essentially tipped forward and went top over bottom...everyone else was able to hang on, I was reduced to a splatter on a checkered laminate floor.
...you make the call.

LIFE LESSON No. 54
When you take the last cup of coffee or leave less than a cup of coffee in the pot...make a new pot of coffee. Just saying.
MAYBE I SHOULD STAY AWAY FROM CHILDREN
I couldn't make this shit up if I tried. Crazy weird dreams last night...the most memorable involving me carrying around my brother's baby (which he doesn't have and is probably a good thing) on a remote farm. Oh cute, how nice you say in your stupid internet voice. No. I was carrying around a half eaten (somehow alive) baby, bleeding and oozing all over me, drooling, half conscious and unable to speak. The thing was split up the middle, so when I set him down I had to be careful about ripping him in half...Oh, you picked up on that half eaten part did you...yeah, I was the one eating it. I was carrying the thing around to cut off chunks to grill up whenever the hunger pains struck me...had time to make a double cheeseburger out of it before waking up...
"You may have trouble sleeping, vivid, unusual, or strange dreams while taking CHANTIX. Use caution driving or operating machinery until you know how CHANTIX may affect you."...they forgot to list imaginary baby eating.

PINS & NEEDLES

More info once I know more.

TED LEO & THE PHARMACISTS MP3
[EVEN HEROES HAVE TO DIE]...off their newest album The Brutalist Bricks. I like their older albums better (not trying to be pretentious cool guy here...its just the newer is getting a bit too poppy) but still worth putting in your ears...and I'm posting it so fuck off.
CHANTIX . DAY 12
Still good on the smoking front. Not good at all on the sleeping front. And I'm definitely not looking forward to jump up in dosage here in a couple of days. First week is half a pill in the morning. Second is half in the morning and half in the evening. And the soon to be third (and on) is a full pill in the morning and evening. Its no wonder depression and suicidal tendencies fall into the side effects list (not mine...) when you can't f'n sleep worth a shit.

TIN CAN TONIGHT
Look at awesome oversized portraits of handsomely debonair folks such as myself (assuming my mug made the cut).

NEW OBSESSION & PLAN
So with the whole not smoking thing, I've done some math.
20 cigarettes (one pack) a day
x $4.25ish a pack
_____ (that's an equals thing)
94 days until I can buy this...
Fuck you. Its a good idea.

SOBRIETY CHECKPOINT IN THE CITY (STL) TONIGHT
From [KSDK]...not published where or when...and thanks for the tip Mr. M.
I-64
Highway 40 / Interstate 64 officially reopens Monday, December 7...which means this Sunday, December 6 is your last chance (with a much much lower probability of death) to ride your bike on the interstate...or walk, but walking is retarded.
Eastbound lanes will be for bicyclists only from 12-4pm between Hanley & Kingshighway...you can apparently jump on at any interchange in between.
[INFO HERE]
...get a hold of me if you want to meet up say 11ish my place on Sunday...or earlier and we could ride to find some breakfast first.

CHANTIX . DAY 5
Still on the wagon or off the wagon...whatever the good one is where I'm still not smoking.
This morning was a bit rough...when I was walking my dog I briefly considered...very briefly, picking up a butt of the sidewalk for later. I did not. Got to love them vivid mother f'n dreams though. Last night I was lost in Maplewood for the entirety of the night.
What do non-smokers do with their hands? I was going crazy last night, so I went down my storage space to get my xMas tree for something to keep me busy...I put that shit together in record time.
