Vital Signs
Forgive me, I’m not so great with titles. So, if that sounds the name of an episode of E.R., I apologize.
This morning, while zoning out to yesterday’s episode of PTI on my iPod while riding the train tow work, a young woman collapsed at my feet. Now, this doesn’t happen to me all the time. […] (via Stupid White Boy)
‘Squatch Pics
We still haven’t gotten around to getting our personal pictures online yet, so I grabbed the link to KEXP’s photostream of Day One.
Enjoy.

The New Mexico governor self-destructs on Meet the... →
I watched this interview, along with a number of other interviews that Tim Russert has conduced on Meet The Press, and I think that Russert had some sort of axe to grind with Richardson. To tell me that this was fair after he’s thrown softballs to Cheney and countless other politicians is disingenuous. Russert may have single-handedly destroyed Richardson’s quest for the White House,...
Hey Hey, SasQUATCH!
NOTE: Pictures from the weekend will be forthcoming. I promise.
As Neko Case joked during her mid-afternoon set on Saturday, “At least we’re not getting hailed on.”
Last year, the calling card of the weekend was “LET’S GO, OILERS!!!” Caravans of drunken Canadian hockey fans swarmed the whole event and, contrary to normal Canadian behavior, were belligerent […] (via Stupid White Boy)

Yes, that is Kurt Cobain.
Yes, this is an ad for Doc Martins.
Yes, this is disgusting.

Draft Lottery
Out here in Portland, we have an embarrassment of riches. The soaring mountain peaks, the tremendous forests, easy access to picturesque beaches, it’s a good life and we know it.
Last night’s NBA Draft Lottery made us a little richer.
The Portland Trailblazers, a team that just a few years ago was more commonly referred to as […] (via Stupid White Boy)

An Analogy on “Freedom”
As I was walking to work today, I got to thinking about what freedom and liberty mean here in America. More specifically, I was thinking about people that seek to restrict those values when they are applied to certain persons that they don’t believe should have them. I’m talking about people like the KKK and […] (via Stupid White Boy)
Go Buy The New Wilco Album
It looks like that. It sounds wonderful. If I have to, I’ll fly to your fucking town, take you by the hand and walk you down to the local record store so you can purchase it.
Okay, I probably won’t do that.
I’d think about it, though.
Seriously, this is a very good album. I honestly think that […] (via Stupid White Boy)
Shit Day
I think Friday, May 18th hates me. I can’t prove it, of course, it’s just a hunch I have.
Work is an utter mess. I won’t even go into it, on the off chance that someone I work with or for happens to stumble across this blog and figures out that it’s me. Which wouldn’t be […] (via Stupid White Boy)

I have been awfully smug since my appearance on Time Magazine. Sorry about that.
Then again, you might have to apologize for your own similar actions.
I’m waiting for that apology.

I had suggested he use the song “Hospital Vespers” by the Weakerthans, but it seems like it didn’t make the cut. No pun intended. Honestly, I wasn’t going for that cheap of a joke.
The Raw Story | White House opposes military pay... →
Meanwhile, professional athletes are making thousands of times more money than the average person. How about the MLB, NFL and NBA take up a collection for the troops, maybe do one for the teachers, while they’re at it. I mean, if private contractors like Blackwater and Haliburton can afford to pay their people over in Iraq more than the troops, I’m sure some athletes can afford not to...

Bruce Bowen is Dirty →
He’s dirty even for a streetball game. If someone pulled half the shit that he does in NBA games against me in a pickup game at my gym, I’d beat the living shit out of him.
Cycling Angst
I ride my bike to work. I ride my bike to the store. I ride my bike to the gym. Granted, all three of these places aren’t that far away, so I’m no hard-core cycler. I mean, I still own a car and paid more for my car than I did for my bike, so […] (via Stupid White Boy)
Jerry Falwell's hit parade. - By Timothy Noah -... →
I, for one, don’t mourn his passing. I feel bad for his family, because they lost a loved one, sure, but I feel even better for the world, because it lost a bigot and a intolerant crusader against everything that his god is supposed to stand for. Good riddance.
Playoff Fever
I’m a fair-weather fan of the NBA. I only tend to watch games in playoff time, once the weather has turned the corner from winter to spring and soon summer. It leads me into a month or so of self-loathing for missing the first really nice evenings of the year while sitting on my couch, […] (via Stupid White Boy)

Five Years
This past weekend, Sara and I celebrated our fifth wedding anniversary. May 11th, 2002, we started this little experiment, I’d say it’s working out pretty well. We have a home that is our own in a city that we love and we have each other. Not much more that you can ask for, really. […] (via Stupid White Boy)

Well done, Ted. I’m glad that my state is one of the one’s taking a step in the right direction on these issues. I do have to say, though; does there really need to be a “Gay Men’s Choir?” Do they need that distinction. Also, the fact that they have a “task force” makes them sound kinda militant, like Delta Force or something. Is there a gay equivalent...
Half-Assed Recap
Just to make sure no one thinks that I have dropped off the face of the earth, I figured that I should probably post something here. I usually don’t go an entire week without having something to talk about, and trust me, I have plenty of things to talk about at the moment, it’s just […] (via Stupid White Boy)

Kansas Tornado Renews Debate on War →
So this is why Bush keeps saying “we have to fight them over there so we don’t have to fight them over here,” so he can misuse the National Guard in his misguided war without having to flat-out lie. Because if the National Guard is defending us from “them” attacking us “over here,” then it’s not a “horribly egregious misuse of the good men and...

It should come as no surprise to some of you who know me that I was legitimately surprised that these were not made by some of my old friends from […] (via Stupid White Boy)

This Blog Belongs to Rupert Murdoch
That’s right folks. I didn’t want to call a big press conference to announce it, but Rupert Murdoch, head of NewsCorp and Fox, has bought my blog for the whopping sum of $5 billion dollars.
It’s a steal, actually. Considering that I was bound to keep doing this for at least a few more years, anyway. […] (via Stupid White Boy)
