Last Year

As I quickly approach my 35th year of existence, I am reaching a point in my life where I must make a drastic change, a change of huge significance, otherwise I will go completely crazy. I am therefore strongly considering that this year may or may not be my last year in Seattle. I am [...]

Identity

Am I suffering from an identity crisis, or is it my blog that’s suffering? Well, for whatever reason, I’ve decided to change the name of this blog to “The Noise.” Ultimately, I realized that I’m over the “Bring D.A. Noise” concept. I’m not quite sure where exactly I want to take The Noise so in [...]

The Noise 2007 Year in Review Part 1c: I Gotta Get This Off My Chest #3

I promise this will be my last gripe about 2007. After this, I will move on. I promise.
I want to address an issue that has been really really REALLY bugging me. I sincerely hope that I’m not the only person that feels this way, but here goes:
HEY SEATTLE GUYS: DROP THE FRACKING ATTITUDE.
I’d like to think [...]

Where?

Where, oh where, has my ‘lil TG DVD Box Set gone?

I’ve been anticipating Throbbing Gristle’s video archive box set for almost 2 years and now it’s available. I ordered it before Christmas but after the initial preorder period happened. My order was dispatched on December 17, but I haven’t seen it come in yet. Ideally, [...]

Plan 12.29.2007

2007 is winding down to a close (thank FUCKING God.) I’ve had enough of 2007. 2008 may very well be the year that saves me! My 35th birthday is approaching very quicky. I can’t wait. I have big (I use this word with cautious optimism) plans for the new year. There’s many things in my [...]

The Noise 2007 Year in Review Part 1b: I Gotta Get This Off My Chest #2

By the way, I want to also go on record to say this:
I FUCKING DESPISE Feist. Everyone was going apeshit over her latest offering, The Reminder, even though I don’t understand why? Besides, if I hear that 1234 song one more damn time…I would’ve said that I’d slit my throat. However, I am enthusiastic about [...]

The Noise 2007 Year in Review Part 1a: I Gotta Get This Off My Chest #1

I gotta get this off my chest: I HATED HATED HATED LCD Soundsystem’s 2007 piece of shit Sound of Silver album. I fell asleep the first time I heard it. I am sure it’s not the worse album of the year, but I am over it. I am completely over the meandering psychobabble of James [...]

Trying

I’m trying my best to return to my once creative self. It’s been tough to be inspired when I’m not quite sure where to begin. I’m feeling a need for reinvention. It’s going to happen sooner or later. Stay tuned - who knows what might happen next.

TGIF

TGIF! TGIF! TGIF!
After a seemingly crazy week, I’m relieved that the weekend is finally here. Granted, I get the good fortune of going into work tomorrow (even though the water is being shut off in the building during my time there) for a few hours to clean up some stuff. Another transition period has been [...]
