I’m in love

I just have to take a moment and show you all my new love interest. Little J is a lil show stopper for sure, and she aint scared of no one. Now a little warning, she’s not at her very best in this video because of some kind of stuffy nose or something but I think you’ll see right away why I’m so smitten. I guess I should also disclose that this is a one way relationship thus far because I haven’t actually met her but I’m sure if I hit her up on her myspace we’ll hit it off like gangbusters. Yeah, she’s pretty awesome. And likes drums. Check out that dear head on the wall too. So let this be an official claim of “dibs”- all you other fellas – hands off! I saw her first.

And if you have anything to say, you can say it, to, um.. me.

Take That Emo Chick!

Jason Defillippo just showed me one of the greatest things I’ve ever seen on the internet. First he pointed me to 90 Day Jane which I’d seen before, and which is one of the dumbest things ever. Seriously, it’s fucking dumb. So much so that I won’t even make you click through and read the god-awfulness of it yourself, here’s the about:

I am going to kill myself in 90 days. What else should i say? This blog is not a cry for help or even to get attention. It’s simply a public record of my last 90 days in existence. I’m not depressed and nothing extremely horrible has lead me to this decision. But, does it really have to? I mean, as an atheist I feel life has no greater purpose. My generation has had no great depression, no great war and our biggest obstacle is beating Halo 3. So, if I feel like saying “game over”, why can’t I? Anyway, I hope you enjoy my thoughts as the clock runs out. Also, if blogspot takes this down before i’m gone just go to www.90dayjane.com. Please don’t attempt to “help” me. If you want to truly help, please send me ideas on how to do the deed. thx-Jane

Obviously that’s not the awesome thing. The awesome thing is the follow up link he sent me – 90 Day Jayne. Which you should definitely click though and read yourself, but just to save time, the about:

I’m gonna kill Reavers in 90 days. What else should i say? This blog is not a cry to the cap for help or a sign to the doc that I need attention. It’s simply a public record of the Reaver’s last 90 days in existence. It’s not like I haven’t stockpiled hundreds of weapons on my trips throughout the local systems that’s led me to this decision. Hells no! Who’s to say that one imposing guy (like myself) with several thousand flux grenades can’t make things just a little bit better? My generation has had to deal with these 他妈的 Reavers gettin’ in the way of our putting stakes in the ground of uncharted planets where we’d planned to just camp out and chill. So, if I feel like saying ”game over” to the Reavers, why can’t I?!? I hope you enjoy my thoughts as the Reaver’s clock runs out. Please don’t attempt to ”help” me cuz you’ll just get in my 他妈的 way. If you want to truly help, please send me ideas on how to do the deed. Thx-Jayne

As much as I hate the internet, sometimes I love it.

The future and planning

A few years ago I made a simple proposal to the LADOT which was largely ignored. Seeing as it’s about 97 degrees F here in Los Angeles today, and it’s February, I’m thinking it’s high time to bring this back into the public forum for discussion. I’ve tasked my assistant with doing some public planning research, mapping, and general FAQing and we should have a more formal proposal online in the next few weeks. At that point we’ll get city approval, funding, and I suspect this will be motion by June at the latest. Depending on the amount of red tape the fat cats in city hall throw at us it might be sooner than that. Ideally I’d like to have some of the major routes fully functional by the end of summer.

Also, here’s my new mock for the logo for The Institute For A Better Tomorrow. Institutional, but futurey – right?
