things end. things begin

so Polaroid cameras and instant film are pretty much a thing of the past. you can still get the instant film, but Polaroid won't be making any new cameras or film. you can hit up ebay and pay upwards of $100.00 for a few packs (10 photos to a pack usually), or you can do what i did, and impulsively buy up any packs you see left in stores. i'm sorry, but the digital revolution can suck it. this is all their fault. i love film. it is not a dead art. i refuse to give in to that way of thinking. maybe someday, Polaroid will see the error of their ways, and start manufacturing the film again. until then, i'm going to buy up as many packs of film as i can, and i'm going to make every shot count. and speaking of shots.....

i could shoot, shotgun, mainline, beerbong, or plain old sip this can 'o wonderful. just in time for summer, 21st amendment brewery in san francisco has made my year by finally releasing my favorite light beer for retail sale at bevmo. it's like a shot of fresh watermelon. it's tastes delicious AND gives you a buzz, so i say, pass the ammunition!

as i sit here, the second week of work at my new job complete, i feel that my life is finally headed in the right direction. plain and simple, i'm not a kid anymore, and that's okay. you have to let certain things go in order to move on to the next step. taking a risk, no matter how big or small, is scary. you have to let things come to an end from time to time because the feeling of the unknown is a total rush. i hope to always embrace that in life. behind the lens of a digital camera? that may take some more convincing.

So I received a free membership to Ballys! Woohoo! It does suck to hear that Polaroid is being redonkulous...but in other news, I tried Flat Tire beer and was surprised that I actually liked it! I hope all is well with you Margo!

Self- Dstruction

Cinequest Film Festival is taking over Downtown San Jose as we speak, and last night I went to the California Theatre to check out Tenacious DTour , a documentary that followed the D on their world tour in support of The Pick of Destiny . A funny thing happened when my friend and I went to pick out seats. We ended up sitting right next to Kyle Gass and his girlfriend. for those of you who aren't familiar with who he is, he's the other guy in the band who's not Jack Black. We had our momentary silent freak out when we realized it was him, at which point I quietly leaned over and told him he was awesome. He quietly thanked me, and normalcy was restored until a few kids came over asking for autographs. He obliged but soon realized the mini pencil he was given to sign with wasn't going to work. Thanks to my new Andy Warhol Happy Bug Day tote bag, complete with handy organizational top compartment, i had easy access to my pen. I handed it over with great joy, and he was abl

awaiting the arrival of the great pumpkin

happy halloween everyone! tonight is the night that all of the little ones have been waiting for all year. i remember being going trick or treating as a kid and the smell of mixed candies and pillowcases, the stomach ache you'd get from consuming 1/2 your bagworth an hour after you'd get home, and protecting what was left of your stash from the hungry hands of those around you. I used to hide a lot of my candy, and then forget about it and find it a year later, gooey and stuck to a notebook in the back of my closet. Now that i am older, however, my halloween usually takes place at a party the weekend before the big day. This year, i once again ventured to Pasadena to celebrate with my friends Liz and Melanie. here is a short re-cap of the trip highlights - to combat my discomfort when flying, i had a few drinks, became very relaxed and accidently left my id on the plane. i needed a new one anyway. the picture on my old one was from, like, 8 years ago. -i re-aquainted myself wit
