Alex: Now that I have a script to finish, I’ve been focusing on getting my work flow down. It’s tough. I don’t know how some people do it. Some days I’m uber productive and sometimes I’ll go on a week bender where I do nothing besides breathe, eat and drink wine. Sometimes I’ll procrastinate by reading things about being productive. That’s how I stumbled across this gem. James Clear “Forget About Setting Goals. Focus on ...
Blah, Blah, Blah
Alex: Do you ever have those moments where people cancel plans with you and you’re totally okay with it? I had plans tonight with a friend, who’s not really a friend, he’s more like an acquaintance. He’s one of those people that you run into a lot when you’re out and you always say “we need to get together”, but then you never do. It’s weird. I used to be all about my social ...
Party? Play? Work?
Alex: I am in such a different place today than I was a year ago it is absolutely insane. I had such a fun college life, all I did was play. Now it’s hard to enjoy playing, I always feel like there’s something else I could and should be doing. It’s weird. The weirdest part is that I don’t even WANT to go out. I would rather stay in so I can be productive ...
Tongue Critic
Alex: We’ve already established he never reads our blog… But just in case he’s ever forced to… Dad, stop reading now.
Alex: Not kidding.
Alex: Stop. Reading. Now.
Alex: Last warning.
Nik: OH MY GOD! You’re killing me! He doesn’t read our blog! What?!
It’s Monday
Nik: Remember our post ‘Spread A Little, Get A Little’ when I said I’d smile at everyone?
It’s Over Now
Nik: Sometimes I just have to write a poem to unblock the block…
it’s over now
cantankerous. mortality. flesh not flesh.
osteichthyes, chondrichthyes, agnatha, stench still of dead fish,
that consternation held dear hated friend,
for effect affected, left confusion,
abrupt erupting deep,
carcass, relic, trash can trophy, residue of impassioned passion,
fruit rotten, spotted grainy juice,
Growing Up or Growing Old?
Alex: No joke. This is real life; I’m either becoming a loser or a grownup. Both are scary. It’s a Saturday night and I am laying on the couch, relaxing in silence until I get bored of surfing the internet and ready to start reading or writing. The guy I’m sleeping with is already home passed out and my roommate is getting ready to go to a party at this beautiful house in the Palisades. Ready for the best part? My back hurts. Talk about change. A year ago I was bartending and going out 4-5 times a week. Granted I did have my writers class today which was immediately followed by a 6 hour shift at work. I started that whole server thing again until I get a real job. Sigh. I live with two other girls so having the place to myself is rare, I love when it happens. This post-college-pre-adulthood phase is weird. It’s a transition that you’re in long enough to be aware of. You have a lot more to be responsible for and that can sometimes be a buzz kill. I want to go out, but
I See London, I See France…
Alex: Okay serious question… do you match your underwear and bra? I’m not going to say why I want to know, just in case my dad ever reads this blog, but let’s just say I think it’s time I step it up in the undergarment department. My friends would agree, I used to have the ugliest undies. My mom used to go to Kohl’s and always came back with a bunch saying “there was a ...
Stop Thinking. Start Kissing.
Alex: A close friend from high school recently got married. She’s my first girlfriend to get married. I was in the bridal party so I was there when they got married. I can’t stop saying the word married. I think it’s because it scares me a little. I know I’m only 24 and people say that I’m young, but it doesn’t change the fact that every now and then I’m overwhelmed with the pressure of ...
Cinderella Had Eye Sex
Alex: You’re not going to believe what happened to me a couple weeks ago… I went to the Friends and Family (FNF) Pre-Grammy party! I know that people in the industry act like it’s no big thang, but to me it’s like finally getting invited to sit with the populars at lunch. I’m still smiling like a little kid who just got their first play station. I was so nervous. You know that overwhelming feeling ...
