definitely be my favorite release of 2009. i've been listening to it pretty much on repeat since i got it & i have yet to tire of it. i meant to do a post about the album the day it came out but i'm glad i waited until now. </span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;">i was watching a video of an acoustic version of glass ceiling, a song off of their 2005 album <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;">live it out</span> that a friend sent me when i looked over at the related videos section. after some clicking, i stumbled upon a documentary entitled "the rawside of metric". filmed as they were finishing the album, "the rawside of..." elaborates on the grueling year & a half plus that went into <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;">fantasies. </span>i didn't think i could love the album any more than i already do but watching this made me appreciate it even more. if you don't have the album, get it now. seriously. and watch the videos.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;"><br /></span></div><div

never been the biggest fan of g-shocks...until i saw this. adding burn rubber to the mix is a guaranteed way to make anything better. the black on black absolutely killllllls it & the subtle detailing makes this g-shock a must-have. the release is going to be super-limited so don't sleep, $175 a pop. april 18th, exclusively at burn rubber. for more information, click <a

to our every destination (thanks ce). one of our favorite places to go was twc surf & sport, one of michigan's top skate/wake/snow/kite board shops. it was here that i first came across the clothing label howe. based out of los angeles, their attention to detail & unique designs set them apart from every other tired t-shirt company. needless to say, p.bob was hooked. in fact, i still have a few of the shirts & wear a few of them quite often (that growth spurt is coming any day now). with that said, after looking at pictures of the fall 09 line, it might be time to add some new pieces to my personal howe collection. </span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">since their inception, inspiration for the brand has shifted from that of a modernized western look to what they now call the "indie executive" look, designed for a "hard working, hard playing, creative career minded guy whose lifestyle is shifting from his desk to backstage in minutes."......yeahhhh, ease up on the description there, guys. although i prefer when labels let the clothes speak for themselves,

pick you up & take you where you want<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><div><br /></div>miss me? aside from plain laziness, i don't really have an excuse for not posting anything. it's not exactly like i've been the busiest person on the planet...i finally have some free time, unlike the past few months. in a few short weeks, absolutely everything & nothing has happened. typical everyday college student things (read: exams, procrastinating, classes, actually going to classes, march madness, realizing the semester is coming to a close, etc).</span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;">with that realization comes the inevitable "what am i doing in x days/months/years" question that i loathe so much. my answer? i don't know. the only thing i am sure of is my uncertainty. spring forces me to somewhat confront this problem with the immediacy of change that comes in the form of looking for a summer job, selecting next year's classes, moving my ever-expanding collection of unnecessary objects from point a to point b to (maybe even) point c, etc. </span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;">but that's enough ruminating, it's time

in the way of control<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold; font-size:large;"><div><br /></div>"Anything that draws attention to ourselves through pain-free or artificial means is a manifestation of resistance" -- Steven Pressfield</span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" font-weight: bold;font-size:18px;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">Twitter. The most vapid, self-absorbed form of social media in existence. As <a href="http://styletruthsoul.com/">BPB</a> said, it's the endless swirl of the social media toilet. Does anyone really even give a shit about whatever it is you have to say? Yes, everyone has a voice and America the great and beautiful, land of the free encourages everyone to let theirs be heard. But here's the real question: does everyone else need to hear your thoughts? A voice does not necessarily entitle you to an opinion.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:13px;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:13px;">Twitter provides everyone who signs up with the opportunity to become the star of their own show. It's a personal news feed -- all you, all the time. Could anything be more self-righteous? (maybe a blog...oh...wait) Constant ego stimulation. Me me me me me me.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:13px;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:13px;">The personal spotlight that Twitter affords individuals can be intoxicating at times. "Look at how many followers I have! They all want to know what I'm doing & thinking & saying at all times! Look at all of my @replies!"</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:13px;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:13px;">No. No one gives a shit. It's a digital facade, technological tricks, smoke & mirrors.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:13px;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:13px;">In my personal use, I've come to view Twitter as nothing more than a leech on the leg of creativity, slowly & quietly draining away one's lifeblood. You wade through the murky, knee-deep water of those you follow, sifting for various tidbits that will only hold your interest for a mere moment. You never even feel the leech take grip of you. It feeds off of your one-liners, ideas & thoughts, draining the blood out of them. Before you know it, they are reduced to colorless, lifeless shells of what used to be productivity & inspiration. The "ah-ha!" moment reduced to a pipedream.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:13px;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:13px;">For me, the time has come to emerge from the swamp. I am all too conscious of the leech sucking everything out of me. And I intend to throw salt on the bloodthirsty bastard.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:13px;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:13px;">For the time being, I'm done with Twitter. More than anything, it has been the writer's equivalent of crack for me: instantly gratifying, incredibly short-lasting (140 characters or less isn't exactly what I'm looking for at this point in my writing) and an altogether terrible habit. Let's just hope that it's not as hard to quit.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:13px;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:13px;">So that's that. It's not you, it's me. Hopefully, I'll see you on the productive side of the street.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:13px;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:48px;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" font-weight: bold;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Edit: I'm back on Twitter. It </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">is </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:

might regret this<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">there's a good chance i might take this down before it can see the light of day...literally. the following is a series of thoughts that occured to me on my way down to chicago last weekend. thank god for the memopad function on my phone. anyway, it's all fun & games for the most part here but i thought i'd switch it up every once in a while. we'll see whether or not this will happen again. without further adieu, my thoughts:</span></span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">the car's speed is set at 79 miles per hour. i'm sitting shotgun at a standstill. michigan to chicago. a mini-midwest roadtrip i've been on too many times to remember.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">i've been around for two decades -- too little to know anything but too long to be surprised by much. i read somewhere that david foster wallace also had an early midlife crisis at age 20, which doesn't exactly bode well for me now does it? both in this world & this car, i'm just a passenger along for the ride. how many times have we heard the cliched "don't let life pass you by" slogan? however, in these messy times, what am i supposed to do? what am i going to do? the only thing i know: observe. think. write. reflect.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">is it possible to be equally discouraged & inspired by the state of the world? can the glass be both half full & empty at the same time? all my life i've been discouraged by the endless hoops to jump through, the bullshit bureaucracy, walls taller than jericho. but today, i feel up to the challenges. maybe it's the fact that it's march 6th & 61 degrees in the midwest. maybe it's the blue sky. maybe i'm just tired of being tired.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">the old way of doing things is over. the dinosaurs are dead. the world is broken and i want to pick up the pieces.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;">--------</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;">annnnnnd that's it. like i said, i wrote the thing in a blackberry memo. obviously, it's not pulitzer winning material but if i don't start putting out my real writing soon, i never will. this is just a start.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:13px;"><br

doing anything to help. however, with a little bit of persistence, sticktoitiveness and good old-fashioned chain-snatching, you too can be just like p.bob...which brings me to my second Tip to Staying

he's so much of a champion, i recently decided to snatch his chef piece chain. figured a guy with that much swagger wouldn't even miss it. turns out he does. but here's the beauty of chain snatching: once you get a chain, the ball is in your court (or should i just say the chain is on your neck?) i'm now in the position to ransom cliff's chain back to him...for a billion dollars. bobby billions wouldn't accept any less. and if he doesn't feel like forking over the billion dollars, i can continue to 'turn my swag on,' as soulja boy would say & wear the chain whenever i feel like it. it's obviously a win-win situation for you, the chainsnatcher. for the chainsnatched, not so much. but who cares about them? you're balllllllliiiiinnnnnnn' like jim jones used to. and that's as good as it gets. more tips coming soon.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span"
