She said she wanted to be friends. Shes stopped following me on twitter and now I never see her on gchat even though she’s on it more than I am. Did she block me? Is she unfriendjng me on facebook next?What was that part about you wanting to be friends?
The optimist in me says it’s her way of distancing herself so she can move on. The pessimist in me says she’s a complete liar...

so officially split up with the gf yesterday. we had a talk about our relationship earlier in the week and she let me know she thought we would be further along than we are. she said she needed some time to do some soul searching and really think, so i gave her some space. we were supposed to spend the day together yesterday, but on friday, she said she’s ready to talk saturday, so i took...

one of the many reasons i love the black keys (and...
Pitchfork: Let's say will.i.am calls you right now and asks you to collaborate on the new Black Eyed Peas album. Would you?
Patrick Carney: Uh, no. Stuff like that would be tempting because it would probably mean a million dollar check. But you would have to live with yourself.

i look forward to the day.....
my body just stops me in my tracks at a music festival and screams NO! ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! Because I think I’ll add a few years back to my lifespan.
Pitchfork 2011 is in the books, and it’s a precursor to Chicago’s other festival, you may have heard of it Lollapalooza. Essentially 3 days of boozing, eating horribly unhealthy food, spending way too much time in the sun, and...

"did you get my e-mail?"
i mean, 99.9% of the time, the answer is yes, so why are you asking? did you get a bounce back e-mail that said the e-mail you sent me was undeliverable? no? then yes, i got your e-mail. what you probably meant to ask was, did you read my e-mail? and the answer to that is most likely no, considering you sent it 2 seconds ago and i most definitely have not had enough time to read it. and how did...

“Thanks again. It’s nice to get some feedback from a professional.”
– Seriously, even though I’ve been in the workforce for nearly 6 years, I laugh whenever someone calls me a professional. Luckily this one was via email.
this one's got my name: songs i never get tired of →
True story. My senior year in college, I worked a catering job. I was in charge of a shift, which I took as everyone must listen to whatever CD i put in the boombox (yes, I just said CD and boombox in the same sentence). And what did I bring in? Michael Bolton’s Greatest Hits (1985-1995), and when How Can We Be Lovers came on, you better believe I put that shit on repeat.

sxsw
sitting at the airport. feet sore, ankles sore, tired doesn’t begin to describe how I feel. my first sxsw experience is in the books. fantastic way to celebrate my birthday. now, about 72 hours of sleep would be phenomenal.

quick life update
- the dismemberment plan show was INSANELY awesome. it was definitely well worth the $25 bones i dropped for it, and then some
- grad school is slowly but surely killing me. why am i doing this again?
- slowly counting down the days to adult spring break, aka, sxsw. the list of bands is beginning to get overwhelmingly mindblowing.
you’re welcome.
two months ago, i posted this:
i look to my right, or to my left, and make the jim halpert face. or i look and shrug. no, there are no cameras taping. i don’t know why i do this, but i do. i know your day is better for knowing this. you’re welcome.
today, after a team meeting, my art director TOTALLY called me out on it, even referring to it as “my halpert face.” fantastic, they’re onto me……
yes, I got dismemberment plan tix
thank you tumblr for your 2 cents, and then some.
dismemberment plan
to go, or not to go?

peter gabriel - in your eyes
steve winwood - roll with it

My latest Tumblr. Watch me stumble and bumble my way through grad school. At the main rival of my alma mater. While I try working full-time. Crashing and burning is expected, it’s just a matter of when.
