hes 26.

the first time he wrote me an email he said something like “i get hotter chicks than you do.” and thats it.

truth of the matter was i had just worn two supermodels out and was waiting for a third to get out of the shower cuz i called her a dirty ho and she said im not dirty and i said yes you are and she said well maybe a little dirty and i pointed to the cabinet with the spare towels and when i heard the water i checked my email and there was bro talkin hella shit.

ever since then my fellow libra and i have had a pleasant time of linking to each other and stoking each other in silent ways.

he sent me his book this summer which i tried to read while on jury duty but tia carrera was sitting across from me and then we got slapped with an earthquake.

but i broed him with the link on the left and what i read was good so if youre up for sex drugs and new york tales you should get the novel which is beautifully designed.

so good that i asked him if hed design Stiff and he said yes but i never took him up on it cuz im lazy.

so then i had a book design contest that you probably all remember and he won it pretty easilly cuz hes a stud.

he takes cool pics of hot chicks and you gotta tip your hat to him for that but i think its a libra thing. women come easy for us, we just have to remember not to get in our own way.

so today is his birthday so i am putting up his painting of raymi that i have in my bathroom, a pic he took of bono this week, some other pics by him, and a list i stole from another blog of all the cool free shit you get on your birthday if theyre still valid.

happy birthday bro, i hope i see you in the apple when i make my way out there on 10/17.

the known universe + envy the rain + his pics of raymi

it’s the sound of one party trying to outsuck the other.

when the dems let their presidental victory get stolen away by the supremes in 2000 who would have thought that over the next five years they would turn out wimpier and less intersted in fighting back?

thats one way of sucking. other way include starting wars with people over phantom weapons, not raising any tax monies to pay for those wars, getting caught paying off writers to spread your propaganda, sneaking in a gay male hooker into the white house press conferences, not finding public enemy number one, preventing a minority group from getting married, allowing minorities to drown during a flood, and outting cia agents during a time of war.

its almost as if this was a poker game of hi-lo and both parties keep discarding their aces for those elusive 2s and 3s.

republicans are supposed to be about less government, smaller government, balanced budgets, strong military. but this administration is bloated and intrusive and spending like an identy theif with some elses credit cards. and somehow theyve made our military seem toothless.

however no one has been as toothless and girlie and femme as the dems. even with howard dean at the helm, even with the repubs shooting themselves in their feet at every step, not one democrat has risen above the mess BushCo has created with a giant WTF sign in one hand and a plan in the other.

instead they sit on the sidelines and mumble and sneer as if the american public will see that theyre the good children and reward them one day.

hey dems, you’ll be rewarded when you actually do something of value.

for example, karl rove is floundering infront of the grand jury today. if it turns out that he gets indicted and charged with obtruction of justice and perjury – show no mercy. connect the dots between he and the president. connect the dots between he and the GOP.

last week you had both the house and senate majority leaders embroiled in illegalities and this week you have the president’s approval ratings at their lowest ever:

use your death move.

explain to the american people that this is all a grand old fuckup which starts with rove, goes through delay and bush and ends up in the quagmire of iraq paid for by you and me.

and then demand support of an impeachment.

the old saying “strike while the iron is hot” should be whispered in the backyards of every democratic barbeque this weekend.

especially since theyre going to present a woman named hillary to the populace in a few years

and especially since the repubs, if theyre smart will present a woman named condeleza to the populace to run against her.

how do we know Rove is in trouble?

cuz the instapundit doesnt dare mention his name.

spolid + bunny just made the best photo essay + sandra

its been over a year since you moved away from me, and have our lives been any better?

i dont think so.

yes ive had some good times and youve had some good times, but were they as good of times since when we used to eat soup together on hot days on wilshire?

no.

heres what i want to do.

i want to help buzznet be the biggest thing ever so we can hire you and karisa.

i dont know what you guys would do but we only go around this mamajama once, might as well do it with good people around us.

i cant believe youre in san diego.

god i hate san diego.

do you know its my birthday in two weeks? do you know that mc brown is gonna throw me a party at the buzznet offices? do you know that this is your official invite?

do you know i went to palms thai with my coworkers last week? do you know we had like 14 people there and we all ate like crazy and it was awesome?

do you know it wasnt as awesome as it would have been with you?

i cant believe the padres are in the playoffs and youre not there.

i cant believe that our former employer had you and me and john woo and they pretended like we were nobodies.

life is the weirdest experiment ive ever seen: lets give power to those who dont know what the hell theyre doing and lets give the kool kids low wages no health insurance and headaches.

do you know i bought an SG yesterday?

do you know i dont know how to tune it?

do you know im afraid to break a string so even though i found these web sites that give you the tone to tune the string im too chickenshit to turn the knob too tight cuz im afraid im gonna break it?

do you know im a dumbass.

yes, i believe you know that.

do you know i bought a little amp for $125 that has all these built in sounds like flanger, chorus, phaser, and reverb, but the best feature is it has a headphone jack which is perfect for my wireless headphones. and any time i pass by the guitar i pick it up and play one string, cuz if i play a chord it sounds like hoobastank: crap.

do you know i have to hop in the shower now.

do you know this is my second to last friday working with the ladies who i will miss very much.

do you know i miss you this much

do you know my arms are stretched around the world.

you dont have gallstones you just miss me,

tony
