Updated version 3.0

There is a coinstar at Jewel better take advantage of that.
Also there is this exhibit that I need to see. BODY WORLDS 2. It is by that German Artist read more about him on HERE.
I've seen him on Ripley's Believe it or not (The TV Show).

Freakazoid is out on DVD I'm excited to know that.

We came back from Boston a week ago, I happened to lose my wallet in it my debit card is cancelled not like they could use it because I have a negative balance and they won't send me a new one until I pay them off anyway. I also have direct deposit at work so those paychecks are paying the bank back no money to me. My ID which I will have to get a new one anyway.

Jack brought me back my printer and a box of stuff I left with him, as well as a Vegan German Ganache Cake, it was yummy. I saw a few of my friends and not as many as I wanted to of course since it was a short trip but I had fun regardless. The dinner we had for Passover was good.

I also raided Dave's book collection in his old room :) with permission of course.


I like my new job only I'm not getting many hours, I have to get a second job and his job is now over because his boss didn't follow some strict procedures.

Oh and they have CLONE HIGH

Very excellent show

I remember all of these shows geez, I am getting old these are the shows I would watch when I was like 6. What they need to do is get Beetlejuice the cartoon on DVD, I only have 2 volumes on VHS but I could just convert them, I want to go back to collecting them, and then I will have them put on dvd.

So the other night Dave and I went to see Do the Right Thing; such a good movie. But right before we bought Garrett's Gourmet Popcorn which is so good, its a Chicago thing. That store always has a line going out the door ALWAYS. The one on Madison is not as bad as State but still its pretty packed.

I baked a cake 2 nights ago out of boredom it tastes pretty good, and we used our frozen strawberries to put on top. We are seriously running low on all sorts of resources but I'm not worried just yet.

I have been working on my portfolio to submit and enjoying the perks of my new job. LIKE FREE CALENDERS and FREE BOOKS also, they get rid of them sometimes and then they are free to a good home basically. I was thinking I was going to grab a bunch and donate it to Revolution Books cause they need donations.

I also can borrow books and I decided on

Catching the Big Fish: Meditation, Consciousness, and Creativity

By David Lynch of course, a film-making genius. After I saw Eraserhead I actually understood some of the concepts behind it; it takes a bit of analyzing to fully comprehend some of the other films. Also I think by reading it I will understand more of this question(s) I have been pondering lately.

If you create without a purpose can it still have a meaning? If everything you've ever done is random can it not only be visually pleasing but can it convey a meaning?

Basically do you need a goal to accomplish or can you like wind just be as you are. But I feel I've always been as is, if you tally the number of random cool things you've done besides life experience what have you really accomplished and its depressing to think you do anything just to have to be destroyed.

But there is a general goal and focus its not completely random and if my internal compass says its right then it is. It's a combination of logic and heart; growth is the most important thing in life; not being able to do that is failure. You have to constantly evolve into another version of you.

I'm not looking for quick fixes or concrete omniscent answers I just want a huge step in the right direction.


In a side note I finished another book and started also Nadja

Oh and there is a great game called Cut to the Beat its like DDR but you pick your own mp3s and click on it with arrows and it cuts up patients, its from the show Nip/Tuck. It's on the FX GAMES Page.

Oh I saw The Dangerous Lives on Alter Boys good movie.

Special Needs NEWSFLASH

There are five different levels in Maslow’s hierarchy of needs:

1. Physiological Needs:These include the most basic needs that are vital to survival, including the need for water, air, food, and sleep. Maslow believed that these needs are the most basic and instinctive needs in the hierarchy because all needs become secondary until these physiological needs are met.

2. Security Needs:These include needs for safety and security. Security needs are important for survival, but they are not as demanding as the physiological needs. Examples of security needs include a desire for steady employment, health insurance, safe neighborhoods, and shelter from the environment.

3. Social Needs:These include needs for belonging, love, and affection. Maslow considered these needs to be less basic than physiological and security needs. Relationships such as friendships, romantic attachments, and families help fulfill this need for companionship and acceptance, as does involvement in social, community, or religious groups.

4. Esteem Needs:After the first three needs have been satisfied, esteem needs becomes increasingly important. These include the need for things that reflect on self-esteem, personal worth, social recognition, and accomplishment.

5. Self-actualizing Needs:This is the highest level of Maslow’s hierarchy of needs. Self-actualizing people are self-aware, concerned with personal growth, less concerned with the opinions of others, and interested in fulfilling their potential.

There you are I'm self-actualized, now get your own life.

Types of Needs:Maslow believed that these needs are similar to instincts and play a major role in motivating behavior. Physiological, security, social, and esteem needs are deficiency needs (also known as D-needs), meaning that these needs arise do to deprivation. Satisfying these lower-level needs is important in order to avoid unpleasant feelings or consequences. Maslow term the highest-level of the pyramid a growth need (also known as being needs or B-needs). Growth needs do not stem from a lack of something, but rather from a desire to grow as a person. Maslow’s hierarchy of needs is most often displayed as a pyramid, with lowest levels of the pyramid made up of the most basic needs and more complex needs are at the top of the pyramid.

This article is pretty screwed up.

In other news

Pee in an air sickness bag, get a flight voucher.

After downing two tall beers at the Boise airport, SkyWest passenger James Whipple was told he

couldn't use the restroom on the plane he was on, because a light wasn't working. Unable to hold it, the resourceful gentleman urinated into an air sickness bag instead of his trousers. No other passengers noticed Whipple using the bag, but a flight attendant asked him about it and told the captain, who called airport police. Whipple was questioned and took a taxi home to Sandy, a Salt Lake City suburb. The airline sent him a letter of apology and a flight voucher, SkyWest spokeswoman Sabrena Suite-Mangum said Friday.

Now this is even better what is this guy's problem, he calls Barbara Walter an "empty mind slut". Does he realize how retarded he sounds?

http://mediamatters.org/items/200703210002

In response, Savage said: "She used this dictator in Venezuela as a forum, as a fulcrum, in order to call the president those names." Savage added: "Notice what this double-talking slut just did, this mind-slut Barbara Walters. And I stick by those words. She's an empty mind-slut. She'd peddle anything for a ratings point." Savage went on to call Walters a "mental prostitute" and said, "I think that the woman is vermin. I think she's dirt."

Pre-Travel Gitters/Guess what? Nameology

Saw the movie Regular Lovers it was 3 hours long I have no idea why, it was the director of The Dreamers who made this film and his son was in both movies of course. It finally ended with the son dying, I was just so happy for it to be over.

Bought the new CD from Diva Destruction; Run Cold from iTunes. I really like it so far and they are a well put together band. Also I got a new job at the bookstore I applied to; they have locations in the following places; Boston, LaGuardia Airport, Philly Airport, Minneapolis, and all over Chicago.

I will be in Boston tomorrow afternoon, can’t wait to see all my friends and they have presents for me. I am going through a process of spring cleaning my belongings, and attempting to be a Flamboyant Minimalist.

Created a new piece of art today in addition to the one I posted as my profile picture. I am working on a new portfolio to submit fairly soon. Dave was accepted into the program he applied for so he might be moving to D.C. this summer.

Jeff soldiered this ring for me its cute it’s a faux diamond skull. Dave found it for me in Toronto and I had the ring from my broken slave bracelet. I blessed the deck of tarot cards he picked up yesterday and did my own reading.

Went to the library and had really amusing conversations, need to spend more time at my other volunteer position mostly because I like being there and plus I have stuff to donate. We went to a party the other night that was a lot of fun and we are making some friends. We chilled with our new roommate for the first time and it was alright.

Just felt like creating new pieces and feeling pretty good thanks to the Omega-3 Vitamins. I am putting up some auctions up pretty soon will post later, need to pack for the weekend.

By the way when did Stevie Nicks ever look like Courtney Love.

OBITUARY with my name spelled correctly, and hey if you change two of the letters in the last name it could be me, but no the middle name isn't the same, come on its close enough.

so my mom wasn't that original in spelling it that way, they just didn't live to spread the spelling.

Also my friend told me years ago in Spanish women named Truddie have red or pink hair and they are all cool :)

It's a shame people don't make good music like this anymore.

Had an interview at the Planetarium; for Museum Services Staff/Security Officer I. This means I don’t have a gun, wow that criminal justice degree really came in handy.

Finished reading Girlbomb it was pretty good.

We went to see this communist presentation and I got into a rather interesting conversation about having a fear of success.

Have an interview for a flight attendant position wish me luck.
Also have an interview for the bookstore on Thursday.
Finished watching The Doom Generation.

I'm planning to escape....

We are going to Boston at the end of this month yay! Can't wait to see some friends again.
We are visiting Dave's parents for Passover.

I have two new books to read now: Getting Out: Your Guide to Leaving America, and
Dave bought me Thus Spoke Zarathustra yes by Nietzsche. They don't have a picture of the version I have online, but there is a link to see what its about for the curious.

Went to see a foreign film, The Ax (Le Couperet)
2005, Costa-Gavras, France 122 Minutes
With Jose Garcia, Karin Viard

Based on a novel by Donald E. Westlake (POINT BLANK, THE GRIFTERS).
It's a black comedy/thriller. In French with English subtitles.

Unable to find work, a downsized engineer (Garcia) begins assassinating his top competitors in the job market. He doesn't wear a mask or gloves and he cleverly manages to escape the police or does he?

The best part I can think of was when his car and another one are passing and the other driver is being an asshole. So the Garcia, makes this brilliant hand guesture, which is a finger in a hole, meaning asshole or go screw yourself in french, either way the guy is horrified and drives off.

Also they filmed part of it in Belgium and I recognized some of the places they filmed I had actually been there so that was cool.

We then went to dinner and that was nice. Molly called and mentioned that Dave was supposed to give her a ride somewhere but he forgot. We went back home and then Jeff said we needed to go out so we all went to The Empty Bottle and there was this metal band playing and it was free, honestly the whole thing gave me a headache hah. In Chicago you can still smoke in bars which is gross in Boston, NYC and LA you can't which is great! I ended up playing this game they have there and did well. I used the men's bathroom on accident cause I couldn't find the women's lol.

Great we left and went to EXIT, which is one of the original punk bars in Chicago and it is much more relaxed there and we had 2 drinks each, Dave and I had Vodka with Cranberry and they were really weak. Then we got home at 3am and passed out.

Hair, Hair and MORE Hair

This is the show we were in, Dave and I were both demonstration models for Tigi/Bedhead.












This is my new hair.

Saturday: March 3^rd, 2007. We arrived and then began the long process of hair styling. It went in this order, the hair color, then makeup, then shampoo and finally the outfit. All was in preparation of the stage show.

Here are the pictures I took in the preparation area, I’m sure more will pop up once the entire weekend is over.

Such is life

FRIDAY: I was waiting for the Express bus and there were Spanish Nuns there. Nuns are just cool. Went to Fox & Obel Market Cafe, and got Homemade Chocolate Ice Cream and Black Iced Tea. Did I mention it was really nasty outside with this really annoying kinda blizzard? I was killing time because I was early for my interview. It was this company, Photogenic Inc. and its event photography. I think it went well it lasted about a half hour and then I went to Lucky Strike, not to bowl but to sit at the bar and have a drink before I left to go home. So it turned out the guy I was sitting next to was a bartender so he recommended something so I ordered it and it was really good. Then he left etc and I was finished so I wanted something else. Then I again talked to the person next to me who was a steel worker, a Leo and annoyed that his beer was shaped like a bowling pin, also the slow service. Anyway someone else came out and helped me, and I had a Tanqueray and Gingerale. I talked to Dave in-between and it wasn't making me want to come home any sooner. But yeah I finished paid the tab and left and had to walk for awhile until I had to cross and wait for the bus to come and then lucky the bus I took home was right there. So I get home and I know Dave is at the Cafe and we need to be leaving soon to get to this Model Call.

So we make it to the call, despite traffic etc. He doesn't think they will take him and they do because he is tall enough and attractive duh. In between us setting the date for us to have our hair cut etc, our roommate calls. I couldn't make this up if I tried.
So recently his car had been towed and he is now able to pay for it, so he paid for it etc but he had an expired sticker so he decided to walk and go get it because they wouldn't let him have the car otherwise. Anyway, his car is already in a bad area of Chicago, so what happens of course is this:
He is surrounded by a group of kids and they ask him, “What are you selling?” and he responds, “What did you have in mind?” cause you can’t ignore them. I guess they didn’t like that answer because they hit him in the back with what he now thinks is a lead pipe. What are we playing the real-life version of Clue? And then he punches the guy in front of him and they start chasing him and ran until he loses them. So he ends up at a gas station and that’s when he calls me to ask Dave if he could pick him up.

So we finish up our thing getting the date of March 3^rd at 2pm for Tigi/Bedhead.

We run out of gas on the way and have to make a pit-stop and then we finally pick him up. We go to the junkyard and he has the sticker but he ends up not getting it because the line is too long.

We go to this Chinese Restaurant (Cantonesia) in nearby Chinatown; Jeff and I get Zombies and Dave gets a Rob Roy. The food is pretty good. We get these cute umbrellas in our drinks.

We went home and then Molly came over. We drove to The Suburbs and went to see Zodiac. That movie was just too long, it was decent; but I would have rather seen Black Snake Moan.
