fat jesus

here's a great introductory piece to one of my favorite people, Zach Galifianakis. even though every film or tv show he's been in has been awful (i haven't seen The Hangover), he really is a comedic genius. if you ever want to catch his stand up, go for his dvd Live at the Purple Onion.

plus, check out that beard. beautiful.

well

it's been a while since the last update. currently i am

- unemployed
- covering songs on the ukulele
- doing the poetry thing
- spending time with the white stone students
- beginning the preliminary research for my senior thesis "Examining the inherent commonalities between conventional Anarchistic thought and the Christian religion"
- a bum
- reading whatever i can find
- going through foreign films before the 1980s
- hanging out in the public library

that's my life right now. i just fixed my bike tire, so who knows where the week will take me.
