when i grow up i want to be an anthropologist

Listening to the Talking Heads and drinking a cup of pumpkin soup. Fun times are had by all. And by all I mean me. Man, it's boring not having a job sometimes. I always thought it would be really cool to not do anything with my life, but now that I'm doing that (or not doing that since I'm doing nothing??) it's not so cool.

I remember the most fun night of my life. I was reminded of it last night while fucking Laura. Intense fucking happiness just hanging out listening to records. It's like that gonna get got song (or maybe it was the o, perty much the same people in both bands), I want that feeling back. And if any of y'all know that song then y'all know I mean 2 things by that.

I'm talking to my BFFF on FB and I said something to her that I think works in this post, so I've copied it and I'm going to paste it right NOW

zach (rapper from mtl/kanser/traditional methods/and solo does solo stuff) just wrote a book about twin cities hip hop. it's awesome. he got the idea to write the book about 10 years ago when he was on ecstasy and he did it. which i think is a sign i should be an anthropologist. whenever [edited for content] i think i should be, sooooo maybe i should make that happen

Sometimes I think in what I supposed I would describe as an altered mindstate and I'm not talking about drugs. It's like sometimes I just see the world for all the fake bullshit it is and how people are controlled. When I think like that I feel like I can kind of see humanity from the perspective of an outsider and I would like to study them. Pretty sure that's a great mindstate to be in for an anthropologist. There was an idea for a blog that I had last year that I never made. The plan was to go to Australia and observe their culture and see how it's similar and different from the United States. That way I should have been able to learn a lot about both cultures and humans in general. That didn't happen. The name was going to be something like Anthropological Observations by an Insider Posing as an Outsider Posing as an Insider. I'm an insider because I'm part of the culture I'm observing, but by observing it I have to think like an outsider, and to understand what I'm observing I (an outsider) would have to think like an insider.

There's moments in my life where I have epiphanies about human behavior and that's what I would like to record. The problem is I rarely write them down and sometimes when I try to I realize I'm not that good at getting my thoughts turned into words.

I think this blog is going to be the online home of my random and sometimes anthropological thoughts.

Random Thought
When I was in Australia, me and Laura exchanged something like 22,000 messages on facebook. It gave me an idea. Someday I would like to write an autobiography using emails and chat logs either as like a reference or just edit them into a book. Wouldn't that be kinda neat and gimmicky enough to sell?

stuff I been thinking about lately

Hmm I don't know what to say. My girlfriend just updated her blog so I was lime I should do the same. Ain't shit been going on really other than not getting a job and fighting with my girlfriend about stuff. Since nobody who reads this probs gives a shit about any of that I'll talk about some shit I been thinking a out lately.

I recently found out that mens and womens buttons/zippers are on opposite sides. possible reasons:
1. Men and women can help each other get dressed.
2. Makes it easier for people to sort clothes.
3. Women are men's bitches so our buttons are the opposite of theirs to make it easier for them to dress us. Since they're opposite it means I would use the same motions to button a woman's shirt while on her as a men's shirt on myself. Which means that if men ever become women's bitches the clothes don't have to be changed. Whoever invented it was thinking ahead.

Me and my girlfriend were at a bus stop like a week ago. This kid comes up to us and is like trying to sell us stolen shit and 'twas so lulzy. He told us a story about how some chick said she'd fuck him if he got her something expensive. So he stole a diamond necklace from his mom. Then she said she was leaving to pick him up some weed and she never came back. He said he waited for her for like 6 hours. Dude was dumb as fuck.

I think humans are like prairie dogs with technology. I forgot exactly why but it made more sense to me at another point in my life and I still believe it.

I like nonhumans. We're like all the same. But that doesn't mean I think bestiality is ok. Like it's fucked up. No way anyone can know whether or not the nonhuman consents. And it's just plain nasty. Oh and I read some this that dudes who fuck animals are more likely to get dick cancer. Probs cuz all the weird diseases or something.

It's crazy that right now there's humans in space. Like what the fuck is with that? Man, that's gotta be scary. Especially for the first few people. It must be amazing to see earth from up there and for sure it'd be the best view of the stars. I wonder if anyone went to the moon.

Death scares me. Like that's some crazy shit. I think that probs when most people die they don't expect it. So it's like they're just going about their life doing whatever and then something happens unexpectedly and that's it. Like I bet lots of people don't even see it coming. So it's like just flipping off a light switch or actually more like a light randomly burning out. Never know when that shit is gonna happen sometimes it flickers so you know it's coming soon but unless someone flips the switch there's no way to know when or what exactly will cause it. It freaks me out sometimes when I fall asleep and then wake up and can't remember falling asleep. I think that's what death will be like except I won't ever wake up. I don't ever want to ever not exist.

Death seems like a good topic to end a post on. Shoulda started it by talking about life. Or I'll just start talking about life here I guess. Well, life and consciousness. Ok so like what is life? I think its anything that can feed on something else to prolong it's own life. So I kinda think fire is alive. Maybe. And then like consciousness is like WTF would that just be anything that is aware of itself and/or it's surroundings? Like where does consciousness come from? Is it in our brains, bodies, beamed into us like  a radio wave, or what? I wonder if bacteria is conscious.

My hands hurt from typing so much on my iPod. The end.

MY NIPPLES HURT!!!!!!

I just got back in from like a 3.5ish mile walk in search of a job and the metal through my nipples is cold and making them all hurty.

I wrote that sentence like half an hour ago and then just read random shit on zoklet until I remembered I was writing something.

So I'm in Washington now. Been here a month as of today and still no work. Shit's been kinda crazy. My girlfriend found out I cheated on her in Australia and I found out she cheated on me when I was there. But we're still together and mostly happy and stuff. Shit will be cool.

I been spending most of my days looking for work online and sometimes going out into the real world and usually being told to go online to apply. So fricking frustrating. But I'll find something fo sho. I hope. Probably.

My nipples don't hurt anymore, though my right one is itchy.

I'm hungry.

Penis.

I AM A BLACK WOMAN

I think it is bullllllllllllllllllllllllshit when people tell me that they're not homo, hetero, bi, or asexual and that they just like people. There are males, females, and hermaphrodites, and I 'spose maybe people who were born without any sex organs I mean like there was some kid born without a brain and he's a couple years old. If I'm attracted to the opposite sex it means I'm heterosexual. Same sex is homosexual. Both male and female is bisexual. Sexual attraction to nobody is asexual. I'm not sure how to categorize hermaphrodites, but since I think like one set of organs is undeveloped I suppose they would have to be categorized by the set that works. Or just as there own thing. Doesn't matter. But like seriously as a white male like if I don't want to identify with that and start calling myself a black woman nobody is going to take me seriously. But like if I tell people I'm pansexual and I'm just attracted to people and I identify as a woman or I don't identify with any genders then some people are like "ok, that's cool." Seriously, what the fuck? Gender is defined by sex. Like I don't give a fuck who wants to fuck who but I just don't like it when people call it something other than what it is. Jupiter is not Venus but shit I don't care, I'll just start calling it Venus and if people don't like it they'll just have to deal with it.

Ok so if gender isn't defined by sex then why is race defined by skin color and other physical attributes? And I do know it isn't in every country, but it is in the countries of anybody who will be reading this. Like even though I'm clearly white (except for to people who legitimately think I may be latino) should I call myself black? I don't think so, because I'm not black. And like seriously what's the big deal about race and gender anyways? Like people should just fuck whoever they want to fuck and get along with each other and what not. But every group of people tries to fuck over other groups in order to stay in control. Trust me, I know what I'm talking about, I've taken (and mostly failed) psychology, sociology, and anthropology classes in college. Like it seems to me that people generally get along as individuals, but when they're in groups they want to make their group more powerful than other groups so they put down those other groups. Instead of thinking of ourselves as belonging to groups we should think of ourselves as individuals and not focus so much on labels. But if we are focusing on labels, seriously, make them make sense.

I'm almost out of food and it's supposed to rain today and over the next few days, so I should probs go bike into town and buy some food.

Also, Steve Jobs died.

ughhhh

My head hurts and the puppies haven't helped. I effing looooove dogsitting, but man like I went for a run with them earlier and it tired me out but not them. They're super crazy energetic. I took a bit of a nap and that helped some. So haven't had internet for like 2 days and that sucked because there isn't much else to do around here other than play with the puppies. Took a while to figure out what it was, turns out Mat (the dude I'm dog sitting for) got a new credit card and yeah it's all fingered out now.

Ummm, so I made some awesome spaghetti today. 'Twas yummy in mah tummeh.

I get to see Laura on November 6th!!! It's gonna be super duper neat and fun times living with her and what not. I'm just worried about finding a job in Tacoma. And the rain. And the newborn baby that's going to be living in the house.

I'm just writing this because I want to get some ad money. Aw hellz yeah! I need to like start writing awesome stuff on here and like getting mofos reading it and clicking links. I'd like totally write more now but I don't really have much to say and I'm effing hungry and I can't write when I'm hungry. Maybe later today or tomorrow or something I'll write a badass story. Peace out, homies.

Yo Diggity Dawg

Age Ain't Nothin' But a Number (do i have to capitalize "but"?). When I typed "Yo Diggity Dawg" it made me think of that gay ass (no offense Laura) no diggity song from back when I was a youngin. Shit was dumb. Then it made me think of the song that I like wrote the title of.

So, anyway, I wrote some shit back in January. 'Tis now October. I'm in Australia (aka Aussieland (should be the new name 'cause it's sweet as fuck) and been here since June 24 (24 June lulz) and like this place is sweet as fuck. Mostly 'cause it's Australia. Know what I mean? (but really I wanted to type "na mean?" but i wasn't sure how to spell "na". Maybe it's Knaw???) So like I'm just chillaxing in Canberra and been that way since most of the time I been here. I got this sweet as dog sitting job in Forde where I'm getting paid $80/day to like play with some super cute/awesome puppies and watch tv/skype with people. Fuck it's cool. Except for the part where I have like no human contact, but whatevs I can deal with that i guess. I'm a bit buzzed. Mathew said I can drink his beer and stuff so like I've had 2 beers and some sake. The beer is kinda okay, it's Asahi, and the sake wasn't good but it was better than the sake I've had back in the good ol' U S of A.

Um, so like I've spent perty much all my time in Aussieland in Canberra and like I was in Melbourne for like a week and Sydney for about 2. Sydney and Melbourne are fricking AWESOME. Holy shit I want to move to Sydney. Like there's so much shit going on there all day erryday. Like for realz that's the coolest city I've ever been too. Melbourne was super cool too, but it was like cold and raining most of the time I was there and I think that made it seem slightly less awesome than it is. But yeah srsly I effing love both of them cities. I NEEEEED to move to Australia at some point in my life. Like I'm talking long term shit here. Someday. Like Australia is real similar to the US, but like there's a shit ton of small differences. Other than the thing about like voting being mandatory and guns being perty much illegal i effing love this place. I'mma miss it for realz, which reminds me, next paragraph.

November 6th I'm flying out of Sydney and moving to Tacoma, Warshington. I like got mixed feelings about that. Like it's gonna be sweet as fuck 'cause I keep hearing that that part of the country is real perty and like Seattle and Tacoma are cool as fuck. But also it kinda sucks 'cause I was planning on staying in Australia until next June and now I'm leaving super duper early and like there was all kinds of stuff that I wanted to do here like in December and January. Meh, whatevs. I'll be back someday. Hopefully soon.

Umm, what else can I talk about? Hmm, shit with me and Laura is kinda totally fucked up. Like it's all good sometimes. But other times not so much. I love her though so like it's gotsta work, eh? hmm. Yeah, it gotta. I think everything is going to go back to normal with us once I'm in Washington.

I don't feel like writing anymore. And I don't feel like proofreading. The end.

Yo!

So, I've always been meaning to make a blog. Something more legit than sporadic myspace blogs and facebook notes that I've written over the past few years. Mostly the problem is I don't feel like typing a bunch of shit out. That and those things that make sure you're a human where you gotta read the weird letters and then type what it says in a box. WHAT THE FUCK DO THEY SAY!?!?!?! Seriously, when I was making this account that shit took me forever. And now I'm too tired to really write anything. Figured I better make one post though. Good idea, right?!?!?!??!?!

I'm using my neighbor's shitty internet. Moved out of my parents' house 2 and a half years ago and I've just been relying on open wifi networks. Shit works. Works really shittily that is. But it's usually good enough to be just barely frustrating. Anyway, the point of mentioning that is right now it's not working so good. So I'm typing this in notepad and gonna paste onto blogspot whenever that loads. GRRRRRR!!!!!

My life has been interesting over the past year. Got kicked out of NDSU. Went to Australia. Went to college at MSUM. Fucked some chicks. Failed at MSUM. And other fun/interesting things that I don't want to write about on here because I'm not yet sure if this blog will be totally public. I wonder what the privacy options even are on this site. I should look into that.

Sooooo, I'm going back to Australia in or around June. I figure I probably need about $1000 and then I'll have the minimum amount of money I'll need/feel comfortable with to stay there for a year. Mostly I'll be in Canberra but I want to go on adventures and shit around the country. So I've been posting on zoklet trying to get people to let me stay with them and been thinking about finding places to stay using helperx and wwoof. I'm going to try to live as cheaply as possible and work as little as possible.

Blogspot loaded so that's all the typing I'm doing for now. Sleepytime. It's only 6am. Not like I work at noon or anything. Fuck :(

THE END!
