you know how i know you're gay?

...because of the comment you posted on "draft mode"... david.

my buddy david is in the process of becoming a self-guided, self-taught motivational speaker. in my opinion, he already is one. but in my opinion, i'm a genius, so what the fuck do i know? anyways, he left a comment on my blog draft mode, in which he said was rhetorical, but was intended as a reverse psychology ploy, to get me to respond. so fine, you win.

at the risk of sounding like one of those email forwards that no one responds to, or a myspace bulletin that everyone pretends to ignore, i submit the following responses...

what are your greatest fears?
my greatest fear is not having the chance to travel and see the world with my own eyes. i still have asia, south america, africa, and australia to go.
also, to not be remembered.

what are you most passionate about?
traveling. creating anything... laughter, music, film, writing, painting, digital, photography.

what brings you the most joy?
being with friends, laughing and making people laugh, traveling

what are your dreams?
loaded question. to see the aforementioned continents, to leave a positive impact on everyone i meet, to be remembered

what is your purpose in life?
to enjoy every moment, to the best of my ability, and to help others do the same, when i can

what do you want?
loaded question. sushi? world peace? everyone to be happy? shrooms? to be honest, my first instinct at this moment, is to say "to be out of debt" (see my, "you're gonna lose" blog entry, including comments), please don't respond to this

if you just found out that you only had 3 months left to live, what would you do? what would you change?
i would take 2.5 months to travel the world. then i would spend the remaining time with everyone, partying and ingesting/inhaling/injecting illegal narcotics (of course). but on the last couple of days, i would sober up and i would tell everyone i know how much i love them. (btw. david, do me a favor... don't respond with a "why don't you tell everyone that, now?")

ps. monday's "weekend summary" is up.

giving thanks

last year, erin and i spent thanksgiving at cammie's place in the city. it was an intimate gathering of cam's close friends. i made some baked mac and cheese that i was very proud of... it was delicious. but betsy broke my casserole dish on purpose, because she had her own mac and cheese she wanted everyone to eat. just kidding, but i dish really did break, and it really was betsy's doing... accidentally, on purpose. heh. anyways, this is the first thanksgiving in 5 years, that i haven't spent with erin. very strange, and sad too. i've found myself reflecting on the friendships that i've made over the past couple of years... thinking about the people who come into and out of our lives so quickly. as you may be able to tell, i'm a nostalgic little fuck. i live every day like it's a big event. i try to treat those i've just met, like they're my best friend (unless they're a complete douche bag). i get sad at the end of the night when i have...

who sings that?

so i saw this jcpenny commercial today and i noticed two things... number one, jcpenny's marketing department or the ad agency that's helping them, has been doing a great job trying to improve their image. kudos to them. number two, they've been using some great background music in their commercials. i know that regina spektor sang one of the older ones, but in the one i saw, they used the song " all that i want ", by the weepies . and by the way, i don't know if you pronounce it weep-ies, like freebies or wee-pies, like levi's . anyways, i think that if you don't watch tv a lot, you pay more attention to the commercials, and in this particular case, the soundtrack was delicious.
