Back to sanity …. #347

Column is…. GO:

 

> So I decided to do a hybrid of the columns which I’ve recently deleted and the good old fashioned ones. You may ask yourself, “Aaron, why did you delete those three entries?” Well, if you are wondering that, I have a simple answer.

 

I was sick all day today.

I decided to read them.

I decided to delete them.

I decided to discontinue that notion.

End that endeavor.

Cease that crease.

 

Okay that last one didn’t make any sense.

 

Anyways. It was too personal. I used names. I don’t like naming names. I’m still going to write about stuff that’s personal to me… but do it more discretely. Like a ninja.

 

 > I think things are getting better. Like, better-better. I accept that I’m single. I know a few things I need to work on. I’ve got goals. Dreams. I know a few things I like to do. I’m going to live my damn life the way I damn want to.

 

Plus I’m going to be rich.

 

Plus I’ll be a pirate.

 

Drink rum.

 

But not too much.

 

 > Jon Sliter and I are looking to join forces to create a super mega website. By that, I mean that instead of him getting his own site like this one, we are going to each have our own offshoot of the same website. Like skatecolumns was so long ago. Doubling the audience and feeding of each other’s shit. We have been collaborating as far as names go.

 

Top 5: Possible names for Jon and my website

 

5. Bamboozers.com

 

4. HalfAMeatBall.com

 

 

3. ShallowAndPedantic.com

 

2. AarJon.com

 

1. MadMonkeyDuck.com

 

 > I have seen the new Batman movie 3 times now. I’ve decided that I want a super-badass coin that I can flip whenever I need to make important decisions in life. My roommate in college used a quarter… I want something at least 4 times as cool. Something that I can give a funny nickname to so that every time I have to resort to using it the person with me will laugh. The bank tellers here at the Lebo bank already know me as two-dollar Aaron because I always get a 2-dollar bill with my withdrawals. I bet they’ve got some cool-ass coins that I could use. I became 2-Dollar Aaron because I knew that if I got two 1-dollar bills I would waste them in a vending machine somewhere… so that same theory would work with a dollar coin.

 

 > anyways, I’ll leave you with a quote. Something that my father probably never thought he’d have to tell me…

changing things up Update #343

July 16th, 2008





So I’ve realized that condensing the column into the bite-sized easy-to-digest format that it has been for the past couple years has really started to inhibit my ability to really write freely. I wouldn’t suspect much of a change, as you will see, but the column will be less black and white from now on.

 

I’ve got a lot of things on my mind, as always. I just found a website with a bunch of funny quotes about various subjects. I stole one for my quote for this update. I like it.

 

It’s really late, and I’m just going to put this up as it is. Cancel any real writing.

 

 

 

 

Top 5: Things I want for my birthday (albeit unrealistically)

 

5. iPod Touch

 

4. a MacBook to replace this PC (as usual, “PC” stands for “Piece’o Crap”

 

 

3. a medium sized (36”ish) Flatscreen television

 

2. some Flying Spaghetti Monster memorabilia

 

1. a Playstation 3

 > I don’t have much else I really want to say.
