Pure Insanity

Last night was officially the most insane night of my entire life. I normally don't care about sports, especially football, but since i now live in pittsburgh and the steelers were in the superbowl i figured id give it a try. well the game did not manage to keep my attention like usual because all the starting and stopping of a football game makes me get bored really quickly. however, the second the steelers won my entire dorm building erupted. everyone started screaming and storming out into the streets. and what happened next? insanity insued.

i walked outside not knowing what to expect. i was caucious at first and stayed up on a balcony away from the chaos. but then i decided to venture into the vast amounts of crazed fans that completely covered the streets. first thing i saw was a kid hanging from a street sign, rocking back and forth until it was ripped from the groud. i saw people lifting someone up onto a streelight and throwing it to the ground. across the way i saw a bright light, i soon realized that the bright light was a tree on fire. i turned around and started heading the other direction down the street. When i turned around i saw a sign on fire with kids trying to kick it over. parking meters were being ripped from the ground and thrown through windows. as one kid was ripping one out of the ground, two police men with riot battons tackled him and threw him to the ground.

some of us decided to return to the safety of the balcony, but claire and i were brave and pushed on. as a man was walking down the street, he slammed himself into a window and broke through it. police men on horses showed up to try and cotrol the mob but failed. an entire bus stop was demolished by an angry group of people. televsion stations were all over the place trying to give people at home just a small taste of the anarchy that was ravaging our streets.

we saw now that the police were starting to get out tear gas and riot sheilds so we decided it would be for the best to head back to the balcony. as we were walking back, claire was knocked to the ground by a man running past. but, being the trooper that she is, she shrugged it off an pressed on even though her leg was now bleeding. we made it to the balcony where the others were waiting for us. then from the balcony we saw a huge fire ignite! it was a couch and two dumpsters that had been dumped into the streets. we knew now that this riot would not last much longer. soon police riding motorcyles, horses, cars, and vans started to drive into the crowds pushing everyone off the streets. finally, peace was reached.

as exciting as this experience was for me, it also brought a sad realization of how doomed the human race really is. if something as trivial as a football game, even a football game that we won, can cause so much damage and violence, just imagine what else could set off this time bomb we call society. i fear that its not long before things get even worse and our city colapses on itself. i am just thankful that we didn't lose the game.

Score

i went and looked at a typewriter today and it was so amazing that i went ahead and bought it and i love it. i have done nothing today but sit here and type random things on it just so that i can hear the click click click click every time i press a button. its amazing how much more driven i am to write stories when i use this instead. the whole not being able to go back and fix things makes me more dedicated and i dont constantly second guess myself as im writing. overall today was a sucessful day. after this i can't wait to go look at cameras.

The Hunt Begins

Well today i started my hunt for a typewriter. i stumbled upon quite a few on craigslist and i am going to check on out that i am probably going to buy either this weekend or on monday. and luckily, its only going to cost me 10 bucks. I am really excited to start writing stories and such things on this badboy. i have been in a really creative mood as of late and quite frankly i am feeling "indie as hell" I have broken out the suit jackets, skinny jeans, and indie music once again. The walkmen have been constantly blairing into my ears and i feel that i didnt really like their music nearly as much as i have recently.

Today i also decided that i am going to start on another artistic adventure and begin to try some photography. i found a camera that i am thinking about buy for only 30 bucks. its really basic but i really dont need anything fancy. i also stumbled upon an old 16mm, crank video camera that i may purchase and start filming random scenes or something... i havent really thought it out that much. ive always had quite an interest in photography but i have never really pursued my interest and i am really excited to start.

This weekend was looking out to be a crappy one. my roommate will be gone for the weekend and i have been pretty ill so i was expecting a long and boring weekend. however, today i decided that i am really looking forward to the solitude this weekend. itll give me a chance to work on my many projects that are in developement. i went out this morning and purchased the book Diary by my favorite author Chuck Palaniuk (The author of such classics as fight club and choke). This weekend is hopefuly going to end up being much more exciting than i thought and i am really looking forward to it.

here are just a few random attempts at my photography in the past with just a real basic camera. hope you enjoy them.

Trying to be cool

Hello,
Ive decided to make this hurr blog cuz sir daniel golden made one and he is my idol and i must do everything that he does, so i made one... and im bored as shit and need a good way to waste time. homework you say? what are you, gay? well now if you want to learn all about my life and what i do on a day to day basis, here you go... although im sure that not a damn soul out there cares. but whatever.

But anyway as of late i have been a real whiney son of a bitch about not having a girl friend and all that jazz. i am lonely but then i looked back on my life and realized... other than last year, when have i ever had a girlfrined? oh yea, almost never i forgot. so ive decided to stop being a whiney bitch to every one and do something more productive with my time. so recently i have decided that i am going to try to stop sucking at art and practice drawing. although, i have never had any art classes other than in 6th grade, i am still going to try. also, i have decided that i am going to start writing stories. i started my first one last night which i guess is kinda cool. i am going to buy a type writer in the near future. i have found a few on craigslist i am going to check out, but if anyones got an extra one, slide it my direction. ill pay top dollar for it (upwards of 10 bucks!!!!). but yea thats been my life lately... i hope you enjoyed readng this. im sure this will be one of my last posts becuase i can almost guarantee that i will entirely forget about this thing by tomorrow but whatever at least this killed like 20 minutes.
