busy busy busy

This last couple days have been insane. So obviously i was in nyc working. then i hung out and partied all night in manhatten with amjad. That ended with us eating tater tots at 4 in the morning. and INCREDIBLE idea. seriously. whoever invented that was smart. S M R T. then the plane [...]

in nyc

oh yea. i am here. well not really nyc. somewhere near i guess. got in this morning around 9:00am after leaving my house at 4:00 (that sucked for sure). Then i slept very uncomfortably on the unsleepable chairs at the airport. slept around 4 hours. and then went downstairs and yoyoed for 4 hours.
After [...]

i live in a russian novel.

So i went to the doctor yesterday and was like “what the hell is wrong with my broke ass foot” and the doctor was like “well what have you eaten recently?” heh. wtf. eating and feet are related. apparently if you drink a lot and eat mostly hotdogs - they are. so i guess i [...]

i think i am about to go through [...]

interesting milestones.

i was playing around with my blog software and I noticed something pretty cool. I have taken over 1000 pictures with my nokia cell phone cam and have roughly 2525 pictures total in my photolog. I have taken pictures of a bunch of neat stuff. it is pretty cool. I have wanted to make a view that is the text from the blog and the pictures all in one fancy view. but I haven’t. maybe soon. haha.

lalala. connect the dots.

this morning I woke up early. like 7:00. I was having a dream wher ei was invader zim and I was able to time travel (a combination of the two things I did last night between 2:30am and 4:00am). it ruled. I just buzzed around and had time traveling problems. I am currently reading this book by authur c clarke. it rules. I forgot what it is called. I have not bothered to look at the titles of the l…

i suppose, i really do.

so basically I haven’t updated this thing in about 3 years. which is a long time. so I am going to “update” yall as to my whereabouts. so. I got this new job. it is taking a lot of my time. it rules. but I am in a different paradigm than I was when I was at the WB. basically I am totally engaged for 8 hours. I have to be much more accountable and I have to really justify my actions. th…

heh. yea so my friends have “caught” me. busted for sure:

[@vanwinkle] is harper giving up blogging?
[clock] yeah I think so its been forever
[@vanwinkle] whatever happened to three post per day minumum?
[@scottv] he got a job

So basically I have been just chilling out hard. not doig anything. I get home…

my eyes are dripping tiredness

however, I don’t feel very tired. I really don’t understand how it is that I am able to lead this weird dual life. my friend adam equated it to the original mods from the 50s and 60s. he said they used to have normal jobs(working 9-5) and look like business people - then after work they would transform into these fashion seeking scene people. right after my friend adam told me this he started s…
