Phil Collins is Awesome…

Invisible Touch

Well, I guess I was about 5, maybe 6, when I first heard “Invisible Touch”. I was at a friends house and we were listing to his tape collection… and I was suddenly grasped by a rapture of drums and vocals like I had never experienced before. I loved the song and I had no idea what it was about. I remember proudly proclaiming to my friends at 6 years old that “Invisible Touch” by Genesis was my favorite song. I bought the tape, I still remember the funky looking graphic design hand on the jacket, and I proceeded to wear it out in my trusty Walkman. Those were the days of complete awesomeness in music… I could just like music… just because; INXS, Bon Jovi, Salt and Pepper, Bruce Springsteen… it did not matter.

3 Beastie I see…

It does feel good to back in town.

It’s all the little things that happen amongst friends that make life not just bearable… but rather, pretty darn sweet. I know it’s just a concert, but Andy and I have been to three of them now… all of a sudden it’s a tradition. How could you not enjoy an evening of singing along with Paul Revere and getting extra loud when your favorite lyric hits…

It’s the haaat part that needs to be especially emphasized. They went ahead and renamed the State Theater to the Fillmore. Someday we will get together and tell stories about seeing concerts there when it was still the State. Europe was a great experience… but regular old life is still pretty grand… (especially when your best friend springs for a set of sold out tickets on e-bay and calls you up)

So if you have spent any time on at all on myspace (or I suppose, the internet in general) chances are you have come across one of these ads. The ubiquitous personal profile dating advertisement. I find the “True” ads most appalling on several levels…

  • The ads are not true… none of the people featured in them have profiles
  • They are borderline soft core pornography
  • They are featured on websites frequented by children
  • They are encouraging a culture of one night stand gratification
  • They are misrepresenting anyone with decent intentions associated with true

So I thought to myself, since they are making a mockery of relationships… someone should make a mockery of them. So I started with my own profile pic and put in a small textual indictment in the same style of true marketing.

Then I thought it would be fun to extract these models and put them in real pictures with real people doing plane silly things… to take the edge off the sex appeal and present them as they should be received… laughable.

The Reunion

February 27, 2007 4:25 pm

Or go to this link…

I finally got around to editing the video from my 10 year class reunion. We really haven’t changed that much… for the most part that is a good thing, but it is also pretty scary. I like to think that I am making all kinds of “progress” in so many areas of my life. Abandoning old ideas that never worked, realizing my faults, owning up to my mistakes and living differently in light of the realization that comes with humility… maturing. 10 years go by, and I still enjoy making videos with my highschool friends… well maybe some things shouldn’t change.

No mercy for the distracted…

I looked away for 2 seconds, but that was just enough time to have my hours of rubixing completely undone. Paul felt terrible once I explained to him how hard I had worked to get it to the point of complete solution except for the top layer.

But it was too late, the damage had been done…
