DEFINITELY A DAD SOMEWHERE (DADS)

Oh sweet it's like that magic rainbow you see in parking lot puddles only it's the entire ocean. Thank God for giant-ass magic rainbows.

My wekin' space...at werk.

I could draw robot heads all day.

+ Werkin' a paid internship with two chill, fun guys. First day was today, 59 more to go.
+ Werkin' with 3 other freelance projects, saving up for that new computer.
+/- A lot of time to myself. As much as I like it I feel like I need to get out more (but that's just the thing, I'm, only in Orlando until August or so and don't feel like trying to make a dozen new friends. Believe me, I tried that once.).
+ Laundry machine at my disposal at all time.
+ Feeling generally creative.
- Not riding my bike as much as I'd like to.
+ Caitlin is coming home soon.
- Dog went blind.


It's shaping up to be a good, productive summer. The more I do now the more I believe will be available for me to do in the very near future.

I covered a Kid Cudi song this afternoon, "Pursuit of Happiness".

I'm most always accompanied by my ipod while on solo bike rides, which I tend to go on often. Sometimes I'm surprised by the mix of music my ipod selects while on shuffle and I thought it would be cool to post the hash-up of songs it selected tonight. It was an appropriate playlist, especially considering the conditions: fairly cool, empty streets, riding at a moderate speed around Lake Eola and a handful of times around the Howard track. It was a good mix of faster and slower paced songs, which made for a good ride. For your enjoyment:

Splitzville- Elliott Smith
Two-Headed Coin- Obits
Can't Tell a Cop from a Cab- Make Believe
Tiny Cities Made of Ashes- Modest Mouse
Technologic- Daft Punk
Yeah Yeah Yeah- The Minders
Powerman- The Kinks
It's Easy to Sleep When You're Dead- Of Montreal
I Let it Go- the Thermals
Helter Skelter- The Beatles
Wise Blood- Headphones
Snake Mistakes- Dan Deacon

Anytime I feel like blowing my own mind, especially after eating PBJs while watching Jerry Springer, I think of the orientation of our planet we've all become familiar with and have accepted as the "true" view of the way things are. But really there is no "up" or "down". We traditionally think of the Arctic as being "North" and the Antarctic as being "South", but it's all relative. We're floating in space. You can look at the ground, the sky, but once your far enough away that all seems less and less relevant. Everything radiates from the Earth's core and therefore when viewed from afar anywhere can be the northernmost apex of the planet. This view of the Earth is just as correct and and true as any other view you could imagine. Earth itself is just hanging out in the middle of the vast void of space. Isn't that cool?

I CAN'T FIND MY ROLLER COASTER TYCOON CD AND I'M ABOUT TO LOSE MY SHIT. ALL I WANT TO DO IS PLAY ROLLER COASTER TYCOON.
