His name is Patrick. And he plays drums in the Black Keys After looking at the pictures of him drumming, i have to admit its a bit fuckin weird as I could produce images of me drumming that are nearly identical, and the glasses, the jawline and body structure. though, his body structure looks like mine of about 5 years ago. still. |
i always thought you looked a bit dave grohl-ish. |
|
a friend is actually tight with him and says even the manurism that we have in common are startling, the way we hold ourself and speak. |
did you dish on how the presentation went yet? |
in the meantime, im watching this |
|
|
some good cuts there. |

patrick, there are definite similarities overall, but i think you're better looking than that guy. you don't look like you're all strung out on drugs. so, anyway, thanks everyone for the feedback! the actual event was really amazing. basically it was an art installation where 20 people were given about two minutes to do anything they wanted that answered the question "Who Are You?" the interpretations varied widely and almost all of them were really cool and/or funny and creative. my video was unbelievably well received. there were like a couple hundred people in attendance. i sat in a high bar stool chair to the right of the stage where the big projector screen sat and played my video. afterward the whole place went crazy with cheering and applause. i just waved and smiled and walked off to the green room because i was too amazed to do anything else. it was a great experience. after the whole show was over, a TON of people came up to me and told me how brave they thought i was, or how much they enjoyed the video. one guy who i've known cursorily for a while now actually said, "i had no idea you were so intelligent until i saw that." i wasn't sure how to respond to that one... the best part was that being asked to do this gave me a chance to give my creative side a good lube job. since the virtual death of my personal website, i haven't had or made the opportunity to do many creative things. certinly i'm not writing as much as i should be. i think i'm going to do more videos. in other news, i'm typing this from this crazy futuristic computer lab at the Dell Executive Briefing Center in Round Rock Texas. |
That is so awesome. I love hearing shit like that. |

little semzus and kazullamas I always feel wierd with the phrase, "I'm proud of you," not with being proud of people as I am of Sarah. I don't know why. The last time I went to the comic book store with Sem there was a dad there with his little girl; she was probably about 3-4 and he told her to pick one out and she picked something with a dragon on it even though he tried to get her to pick one of the girly comics. It was so cute and I looked over at Sem and thought, "that's going to be him someday." |
|
grrr |
just wait heather. heather? just wait. you have to wait. "It was so cute and I looked over at Sem and thought, "that's going to be him someday." " you know your kids will inevitably avoid anything you remotely designate as cool, right? you know in Valley Girl, where the main chick walks in on her mom and dad doing yoga and later on he's smoking pot in the bathroom on her prom night? yeah. eva will probably be a straightlaced and simultaneously annoyed by our kookiness. although, i suspect there is a window of time...perhaps at three, or four. i think dave cited as such, saying he had hope for minute but then it turned to bubble gum. non-stop bubble gum. |
But there is that time when everything daddy does is cool. That was what was so touching about that scene in the comic book store. |
|
nothing grr i say |
|
|
rock on. |
She's starting the violin this year, did I mention that? |
I'm in the tech center at school learning about iMovie as we speak and now I want to make something too. Maybe I will. It could help with an "issue" I've been dealing with lately. I am going to be thinking about this all day. I need to come up with a theme. Rock on Cleo. Agatha, I love hearing stories. |

what made her pick the violin? i have several friends who play fiddle and it rocks. go Cleo! hey, why hasn't she posted in so long? she used to WAYD every now and then... kaz, what's the issue? iMovie is fun and easy! it doesn't do some things i wish it did, but it works for fun and relatively simple movie projects. |
I have a nagging insecurity about my lack of creativity and artistic talent. It's really not that big of a deal, just something that emerges from time to time. |
Kazoo, how did that art project you were working on come along? This weekend I'm going to a knitting festival of sorts on the DC mall (if it hasn't been cancelled). I kinda don't feel like going, but I promised my coworkers I'd meet them there. |
What art project? If you mean what I was doing this morning in the tech center, I was just making some stills from a video for a professor. They came out okay considering the quality of the video. |
