license plates

i started a game with myself this summer. i'm simply documenting it here so that i don't forget my progress.

the object is to witness a license plate from each state in alphabetical order. i've attempted to start the game a few times (basically every time i saw an alabama plate), but would forget to continue since i never saw any plates from alaska. during this summer, i happened to see alabama and alaska two days in a row and immediately knew it was game on.

summer 09 - game starts
summer through october 09 - alabama through connecticut

the hunt continues.

oh, clever words.

this is a clever (and grammatically correct) sentence:

buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo.
--william j. rapaport

once you break it down and understand exactly what you're saying, saying it aloud makes total sense. your nearby listener won't hear the difference and might even think you're retarded. but you'll know...


this is just clever and made me laugh.

oh john, let's not park here.
oh john, let's not park.
oh john, let's not...
oh john, let's.
oh, john!
oh!!

lose vs. loose

i am coming to terms with the disappointing fact that the common folk of society fail to differentiate between your and you're. this is not new. yeah, and what about my stupid??

i have begun to notice, however, an overwhelming increase in the trend to substitute the word lose with loose. i wasn't even aware this was a problem. they aren't  homonyms; they aren't even homophones. to those that have trouble with this, allow me to loosely elucidate.

lose - [looz] verb: to come to be without, to no longer have possession of, to misplace, to not win

i lose my mind when you people lose the ability to use "lose" correctly.  you should lose all rights of procreation, and even copulation entirely, and i'm surprised that any, if any, of you could ever even manage to lose your v-card in the first place. i would like to lose the nearest sharp object in each of your retinas. in my book, and life in general, you are a failure; you lose.

loose - [loos] adjective: unbound, unrestrained, not tight, not exact or precise, promiscuous.

loose might describe your asshole, after i force your head up into your colon for using "loose" incorrectly. loose wouldn't be the knot i would tie around your neck with a rope that is attached to an automobile quickly headed into a ravine. sometimes incompetence annoys me enough that i let loose on an unnecessary rant, and though these explanations are loose, i think they get the point across. and the icing on the cake: your mother is loose. oh, snap.

i hope i have crystalized the difference for those who have a hard time or are just being plain lazy.

dallas: an adventure

this past weekend, i traveled to dallas to attend a festival called easter in the park. jesus, eggs, fun, and drinking, among many other things. sadly it got canceled; the weekend, however, was far from a bust.

on friday and saturday night i was introduced to the gayborhood, a fantastic strip of clubs all proudly and/or cleverly sporting the rainbow somewhere on it. needless to say, i had a blast.

one of the more memorable moments of the clubbing experience happens to be a conversation i had with my mom. it went as follows:

(my phone rings, and i drunkenly answer. my onlooking friends are curious as to who it is.)
me: HEY MOM!
(my friends gasp and stifle their laughter, surprised that i actually answered a phone call from my mom in a club--gay, no less.)
mom: hello? ...hey, are you there? ..i can barely hear you. where are you??
me: I'M AT A DRAG SHOW IN DALLAS!
mom: a what?? a dog show???
me: NO. A DRAG SHOW!
mom: a dog show?? like the eukanuba? why is it so loud at a dog show???
me: NO, MOM, NOT A DOG SHOW. THIS IS NOT THE EUKANUBA!
mom: just text me, i can't hear you.
me (text): i'm at a drag show in dallas!
mom (text): OH, a DRAG show. so it's like the eukanuba, but for QUEENS!

i'm not sure when or where my mom acquired a sense of humor, especially about anything gay. clearly, i have created a monster by giving her seasons of will & grace for her past three to four birthday/christmas presents.

dallas is looking more and more like the place i want to live after school. we'll see.

falling

it has only been a short while, and each day has flown by. at the same time, however, it feels like it has been forever. i am falling, it seems, exponentially.

unexpectedly, however, the recent object of my affection leaves me in may. part of me wants to self-sabotage the mere month remaining, while another part of me wants to feign ignorance, despite (or even in spite of) knowing that  i'll soon have to quit cold turkey. i know that gradually weaning myself now will feel better in the long run. but since when, despite all my better judgments, have i ever cared for the long-term results? i certainly don't want to start now...but maybe i should...? or maybe the cliche and overused quote is true: better to have loved and lost than to have never loved at all.

i would like to keep falling... even if it is in vain.
