A Very Journal-y Update.
1 min read
Wow, I feel pretty lame for neglecting this site so much. It's kind of hard to keep up with art now that I'm out of school. And every time I sign in, there's over 300 deviations for me to cstch up on. It's no excuse. Luckily, I've managed to keep in touch with most of you through means of facebook and twitter, but I do miss everyone. If anyone here doesn't have me on facebook yet, I think my link thing is www.facebook.com/worst.url.ever
Any ways, since we last spoke, I saw the Barenaked Ladies in concert, it was pretty rad. Got to meet them and everything. Nothing else extraordinarily awesome. How about you guys?

I'm just a posthumous part of the scene
Sigh. My favourite Barenaked Ladies song. Gorgeously sang by Mr. Steven Page, who is, as of today, an ex-member of the band.
I'm just kind of overwhelmed and shock/depressed by this news. BNL has been such an influential band in my life. I couldn't be more upset if TMBG themselves broke up. They are going to continue to record and tour as a four-piece, but I don't know how they're going to do it without him. Steven has, and I've gone on record as saying this several times, the voice of an angel, and, in my opinion, was the strongest song writer. He's responsible for so many songs that have so much meaning to me, sigh. Here I am, acting like he's died, ha. I guess he's going to pursue some solo projects, but I'm skeptical about that. I mean, Vanity Project was fine, but you know, it's no Maroon, Born On A Pirate Ship or BLAM. Sigh. Sigh sigh sigh. I'm going to listen to some music.

Geek Madness
1 min read
Not just my name of my disease, but also a competition! I'm sure many of you are already aware of Paul And Storm's search for the Secretary Of Geek Affairs. Commemorating the fact that America has their first geek president; they have created a poll containing many of our geekiest heroes. This has been going on for several weeks now, but the most epic challenge is now. John Hodgman versus They Might Be Giants. So far, J-Ho is winning by about 4% and if you guys can, we should vote for The Johns L and F. Here's a link;
www.paulandstorm.com/archives/…
I think the poll ends this friday, so you should try to vote today.
Vote often. Vote Giants.
Thank you

Merry Christ-years!
10 min read
Merry belated Christmas! I should of wrote a journal before, but oh well, I was thinking about you guys at Christmas anyway 
Feel free to tell me how your guy's went. Mine was swell, I got a new wii, so I can play Rock Band again, huzzah! Plus lots of other awesome stuff like Corner Gas on DVD, clothes, a necklace, an Office Space kit (came with a stapler, flair, etc XD), Colbert Christmas (yes!), lots of goodies. Ooh! and some John Green books! I'm excited to get those read.
Also, while I'm here, Happy New Years! It's in a few days, so might as well wish it now. And for kicks, I filled out one of these year end surveys. Feel free to read it.
