Hey....women of Santa Monica

Oh life...

As I sit by a pool in Santa Monica, fully clothed and counting all my
new flea bites, I wonder what it is for...

I mean, I talk a big game, but the fact is, if I truly believed, 100%,
that there was no point, I would have put a bullet in my head by now.
At the same time, as that desire to "bullet" one creeps in once again,
I have to search for why not to do it because the reasons for doing it
are coming oh so easily these days...once again, oh life!

Maybe I choose to live merely based in selfish reasons...maybe I have
this grandiose view myself...like I have some "big" thing to offer the
world before I check out and since I haven't done it yet, I must go
on...

Maybe that's why I continue to sabatoge my life and get wrapped into
losing battles or situations that torture my soul...maybe I fear doing
that one thing cause then I'd have to put my money where my mouth is.
Maybe I just fear I can't do that one thing...maybe I'm an ordinary
shit head on this hampster wheel of life...

There is no point to any of this and I will be shocked if anyone
besides my brother reads this...maybe I'm just bored...

Oh...and my brother found these black business cards lying on the
streets of SM...all it said on it was this: "you're a douche."

I picked it up and held onto it...I am a douche...but I think you are
too...

"time sensitive"

I think "time sensitive" should be removed from the English Language, but especially within the "business world".

It's such a BS, fake way of pretending to be nice as you say, "I want what I want this second and I don't give a shit if you have other stuff to do or that it's a physical impossibility. I don't care about you are anything else but the thing I want RIGHT NOW!"

People are assholes....

The Noogle Diary has begun...strap in...

August 20, 2009

If god existed, he’d be an evil, super villain, Indian giver. Life is just countless kick in the crotch after kick in the crotch, sprinkled in a lovely symphony of blows to your gut and soul, right before your heart gets ripped from your chest and thrown onto a cold platter for your viewing. And on this note, Karma is the most bullshit thing I have ever heard of. Karma does not exist. There is no point to it all – whatever you put out, good or bad, does not come back to you in equal amounts in any sense of the word. If they did, the universe would be far different.

There isn’t much point to the struggle of things. You fight and you claw and you get up again, just to once again be swept at the knees. You push on merely for the purpose of pushing on. That is not good enough of a reason in my book.

These are my thoughts for today.

The “Noogle Diary” has begun…

My office glows all night long...Its a nuclear show, and the stars are gone (8/20)

Noogle is having a medium sized mental break down but the up side is, I have LOTS of new music and bands...proud of this play list below...


1. Eels - Lilac Breeze




2. Stars - Elevator Love Letter



3. Refused - New Noise



4. Maritime - Someone Has To Die



5. Bob Dylan - Subterranean Homesick Blues

Words to live by....Anthony De Mello was a wise man....

This is an excerpt from "Awareness" by Anthony De Mello...read this, read that book, sit with it...

Do you think you help people because you are in love with them? Well, I’ve got news for you. You are never in love with anyone. You’re only in love with your prejudiced and hopeful idea of that person. Take a minute to think about that: You are never in love with anyone, you’re in love with your prejudiced idea of that person. Isn’t that how you fall out of love? Your idea changes, doesn’t it?

“How could you let me down when I trusted you so much?” you say to someone. Did you really trust them? You never trusted anyone. Come off it! That’s part of society’s brainwashing. You never trust anyone. You only trust your judgment about that person. Sp what are you complaining about? The fact is that you don’t like to say, “My judgment was lousy.” That’s not very flattering to you, is it? So you prefer to say, “How could you have let me down?”

So there it is: People don’t really want to grow up, people don’t really want change, people don’t really want to be happy. As someone so wisely said to me, “Don’t try to make them happy, you’ll only get in trouble. Don’t try to teach a pig to sing: it wastes your time and it irritates the pig.”

Blah Blah Blah...Blah (8/19)

"Traces of cocaine taint up to 90 percent of paper money in the United States, a new study finds"...NO WAY?!? (I'm being sarcastic)

Wait...are you trying to say our country has a cocaine problem?! Hmmmmm...news to me...



"Traces of cocaine taint up to 90 percent of paper money in the United States, a new study finds.

A group of scientists tested banknotes from more than 30 cities in five countries, including the United States, Canada, Brazil, China, and Japan, and found "alarming" evidence of cocaine use in many areas.



U.S. and Canadian currency had the highest levels, with an average contamination rate of between 85 and 90 percent, while Chinese and Japanese currency had the lowest, between 12 and 20 percent contamination..." (read more)

PLEASE WATCH THIS! FUNNIEST THING EVER!

You have to watch this video...it is just amazing...esp for anyone who had a rough relationship lately. Below the video, is the guys explanation of the ordeal, but more or less he went on vacation for 2 weeks to Europe and his GF didn't pay attention that he was leaving...the video are her emails with commentary...and decent music! ha ha (thanks to Chris Youra for the look out on this...he's the shit)




"During the Summer of 2007, I had the opportunity to backpack around Europe for 2 weeks. I talked about it often before I left. My girlfriend however, although great in many respects, was not the world's greatest listener. I left on Friday June 1st. Despite even calling her to say goodbye the night before, she never realized I left. When I arrived home 2 weeks later, I had several emails from her, waiting in my inbox..."

"got this feeling that today doesn't like me
oh, the air tastes like flowers and paint.
there's a sink full of bottles and cutlery
and the car has got a list of complaints.
i just wish i were a toothbrush or a solder gun
make me something somebody can use.
we can wish on the pop of a lightbulb
or those photos lying yellowed and curled.
lose some boxes near abandoned electronics
in the corners of the basements of the world.
guess our wishes don't do dishes or brake repairs
make them something somebody can use.

got a face full of ominous weather
smirking smile of a high pressure ridge
got more faults than the state of california
and the heart is a badly built bridge
seems the most i have to offer
doesn't offer much
make it something somebody can use.
make this
something somebody
can use."
