Since this week is "the week" of you know, that holiday, I wish you all something. I dont know what that something is, but something good, something, anything you want. Whatever you want, I want you to know that I'm hoping you get your wish.
But on a side note, Taking Back Sunday is all I have been listening to. I feel as if I'm in high school again. Its taking places, you have no idea. Well, Happy Holidays, now get on with your lives.
"That Week"
The End

Somebody sent me a message with this link. They said this video reminded them of me. I don't really know if its a compliment, but thats how I'm taking it. God Bless.

Well, I just thought the world was ready for this. Another GOFFGOUGH creation lies before you.
Tomorrows Tulips
Tomorrows Tulips formed on August 15th when Alex Knost bought a piccalo snare drum at the thrift store and handed it to Christina. The two spent 3 nights at Mike McQ’s distillery studio organizing some sort of an idea on how to play together. While socializing with Mike and discussing what to call the group it became vaguely clear what to do. The duo consists of stripped down pop that often disregards professionalism in anyway shape and form. Absolute Fearlessness prevails in creating songs that revolve around subject matter that consists of flowers, happiness, love, haircuts, friends, and un-macho-ism. TT will continue to make songs on cassette tape and post them on the internet until the release of the full length album that will be recorded at the distillery in late September and released on vinyl, cassette and cd in October 2009. Then with a VW bug tour across America to follow.

Oct 31st Killed Me
I HATE Halloween. Its lame. Its pointless. People should not need a holiday to get dressed up. Its just a fake holiday. But thats now that this post is about. What its mostly about is how I had the worst, I mean WORST weekend I have ever hard, and it happened all on Halloween day.
But before I get into that day particularly, I'm just going to let you in on something that happened last weekend. On my way to see the movie It Might Get Loud, a documentary on the electric guitar, I got in an accident and rear ended someone who stopped on a green light in the MIDDLE of the intersection. WTF right. Oh and PS, the movie I was going to see, quit playing the night before. FML.
Now to Halloween. On paper, the day itself was supposed to be a decent day, besides the fact it was Halloween. But who are we kidding, it sucked. It started out fine. I was in the right place at the right time, yet I still got screwed over. My car window got bashed in and my stereo was stolen. Of coarse I filed a police report, but we all know that does nothing. Whoever stole my subs and amp out of my trunk, broke my passenger window, glass was everywhere, then reached over and popped my trunk and wiped everything out. Left my CD player in the dash, but my trunk was left empty. Who ever did it prolly has a dozen CD players laying around and didn't need my ghetto one cluttering up their stash.
Not only did they ruin my car, they ruined my plans for the day. I was supposed to be going to an MFO, (mandatory-family-outing with my parents, one of my brothers and his wife) which was lunch and the Michael Jackson movie, This Is It. Luckily I have an awesome older brother who helped me out. While I called him only to tell him his stereo stuff he was letting me use was stolen, he just started to help by calling around and finding me a window. After finding a window at a junk yard, its almost time for the movie, since he wasn't going to the movie, he drove me back to Salt Lake and then volunteered to replace my shattered window while I was with the other half of my family. How nice is that?
By making the rest of the night as good as I possibly could with a start to a crappy day, I decided to relax in the hot tub. Once again, I get screwed over. My phone ends up being too close to the tub and gets covered in steam, leading my phone to look and act like its been in a puddle for the past hour. So now to top off my day, my phone decides to quit working. All in one day that people call Halloween, my car gets jacked and my phone breaks. This day was HELL. Happy effing HELLoween.
Now, I know this sounds like a poor me blog post, but srsly people, I just blame Halloween. They say bad things come in sets of 3. Lets count them out...
1. I got in a car accident last weekend
2. My car window got bashed into pieces and my stereo gets stolen
3. My Blackberry, my life, gets wet and now its just a fancy paperweight with a keyboard
I guess the one thing I'm grateful for out of all this is my the fact that I still don't have the Swine flu.

The Summers End
Its Labor Daybor. Well, its the night/ending of Labor Day. I sit here and realize that summer is over. So, I would like to take this time to recall how much has happened over the past 4 and a half months. In no particular order:
I had a birthday, I made new friends (in real life and on facebook), I lost some friends, two musical icons left us, watched Hema play shows, had an awesome Kool-Aid social to kick off the summer, had a tea party in the middle of the rain, had a BBQ with one of my new heroes, met Beardo, went to a show at the famous ROXY in downtown LA, got searched + questioned and still got out of Mexico with out a passport, watched Mason loose his money in Vegas, spent $10 on a hamburger, sold a text book for 50 bones, my brother got married, Sarah Morrison started following me on twtiter, discovered a lot of new music, found a new favorite pair of jeans, Chris came home from his mission, Joe started to mandrate, my best friend discovered a long lost brother, watched Mason buy home-made rap CDs from black dudes at Venice Beach, bought some TOMS/donated a pair of shoes to a child in need, I came to adore the Holladay Homegirls, got married on facebook, made black/white lifestyle tshirts, counted all the shirts I own, bought a new sailor necklace in Mexico, wrote/sang a song with Kelli and Hema and dedicated it to Mason, sat around a fire and ate popsicles, went swimming just about every day, visited over 5 American Apparels' in less than a week, saw Michael Jacksons star in Hollywood, bought a leather jacket, had more than one failed summer fling, watched TV seasons/series on DVD nightly, got more followers on twitter, created a new facebook group, became a proud owner of a domain, had the best road trip of my life, got caught up in some drama, attempted to clean my room multiple times, sat on the curb while Kelli sang a song that she wrote for me/about me, skated with Kyle, had dinner with a friend from high school, went camping, made an official business card, had some come to Jesus talks with Justin + Katie, saw a rival from high school and made amends, hung out with my favorite aunt Vangie, started wearing rosaries for some reason, talked with an intern at a record label for hours, made little Asian girls mad at a concert, failed my eye test to renew my license, started to wear fake Buddy Holly glasses for a half second, went to a lame dollar movie with Stu, tried to keep up on my blog, made fun of Cooper for buying his Baby Boo Camero, almost peed in a Dairy Queen cup with dried up ice cream in Masons car, made a list of all the reasons why me and Annie are friends, played a joke on Jodi, surfed across a swimming pool, played some hopscotch at an elementary school, got a parking ticket and made Cooper pay half of it, went to Paper Heart with Annie, saw Taking Back Sunday in concert, Norma cut my hair a couple of times, ate too many quesadillas, met Tony Potato, thought I met my soul mate, watched a kid poop his pants and laugh at himself, received a gift card for $40, wasted hrs at a time on video ichat, sat in sky chairs with Kelli, purchased some new Sperry sailor shoes, bought a new fedora, went to Idaho a couple of times, started some propaganda against Obamas Youth, spent $10 in late fees for a RedBox movie I got for free with a code, wore the same pair of jeans almost every day, witnessed a homeless guy get escorted out of a hotel pool, went and got free fries at Tonyburgers, convinced people that Ben was stuck in Mexico, drank a lot of blackberry lemonade, sat in my car for over 2 hours in a rain storm with Aliska, Joe invited us over to swim and have a BBQ at the lodge, had the best churros I've ever had, had Chili's for every meal for about a week, started mixing RedBull with Margarita mix for my new favorite drink, broke Annies blender, read Heath Ledgers boring bio, saw 500 Days of Summer with Kelli, walked around downtown Salt Lake with Hema + Stu one afternoon, rode public transportation for fun, went to one of the lamest dance parties ever, attended the SLCC Murder Mystery dinner, almost witnessed a break up of a solid relationship/couple, had a photo shoot with Annie for fun.... and I'm sure this list could go on, but summer is now over and alls I have to show for it is my fading tan and the memories.
Now, with the memories of summer out of the way, bring on whats next. Fall, you are my favorite time of year. FAVORITE. I don't quite understand why you are my favorite, but you are. I mean, I hate the responsibility that comes along with the Fall, like school and such. What a serious drag school is. Then you have Christmas, the happiest time of the year, minus the crappy weather. But you get to watch HOME ALONE for hours. I'm getting too far ahead of myself. First things first, lets do this, Fall, you have your work cut out for you, don't screw up under all the pressure from what summer has provided.
That is all I got for now, LUBS + a kick in the face.
R.I.P.
How am I late on this? Why didn't anyone tell me about THIS? I feel as if I've been lied to for the past couple of years. Well i guess its better I find out now rather than later. Mark my words, I'll bring it back from the dead in the next 10-40 years. You just wait.
Super Girlfriend Assistants
Hokay, I'm back. Lets start out with what I've been doing. One word, and a half, video-iChat. With Annie. That thing is my new fav. Now lets talk about something more serious thats been going on in my head over the past week. While I was going thru my old wallet I found something that I thought I needed to carry with me, but in reality I don't. So I came up with the conclusion, I need a super-girlfriend type assistant that carries EVERYTHING I could want at any given point and time. Like all those gift cards I don't have room for in my pockets, those special/lame ID cards that are only good at those places you got them at. Your punch reward cards for your 10th one free, that keep adding up in your wallet cause you always take them out because they only have a couple of punches, but as soon as they're out of your wallet, you go there. I KNOW, right? Those type things. Or another thing I hate carrying in my pocket, any kind of chapstick or pens. I hate having these in my pockets because sometime down the line you always forget to take them out. Forgetting to take them out, you lose them and buy new ones, they as soon as you buy that new one, you put on that same pair of jeans and find your old one. Then you have too many chapsticks laying around. Or you have the one time you decide to do you laundry, and you happen to forget to keep track of all your millions of chapsticks you have purchased cause of the chain reaction, and they ruin all your clothes. Or heres another thing, my iPod with its headphones. Sure, if I'm with a quote-unquote 'girlfriend' it would be rude to listen to my iPod around her and not give her attention, but this is the part of the solution where she's my assistant. No obligations to relationship stuff what so ever. But the fact that she's my super attractive girlfriend on the side is an awesome bonus. Next, and this one might be pushing it, but I really wish I could carry my MacBook. How am I supposed to do all the things the world demands of me without my computer? Right, you all wish you could have your laptop with you. What it comes down to is, can someone please find me someone who does all this. Acquire within. I'll tell you if you/the person you found qualifies. There is a catch, I don't think I could pay. In this 'economy' who can really get paid? We are all working for free these days.
Sarah Morrison + School Cool
Whether you are heading back to middle school, high school, college, grad school, or med school; you need to do it right. If you follow these easy tips, the first week of school should be a breeze. You will have a bunch of cool new friends, a hot edgy boyfriend, and the popular girls' undying jealously for the rest of the year. Good luck girls. And stay in school!
-Back to school shopping is fun. Especially if your mom or student loans are paying. But be careful at the mall. There is a right way to do THIS. Don't buy anything in the window ANYWHERE. Everyone at school will have that stuff. And you want to be the coolest girl at school. Cool girls wear stuff that no one else is wearing. Buy your fashion staples; basic tops, leggings, hoodies, cardigans, and such (at those stores everyone shops at). Buy dresses and other flashy numbers at lesser known stores. And always think while shopping, "Would the popular girls wear this?" If the answer is YES, don't buy it. You want to be cool. And being cool means being cooler than "them."
-Never wear anything brand new the first day of school. I would actually go as far as to say the first week of school. Don't wear entire new outfits. You want to be cool. And cool girls don't try hard. They don't "notice" when it's the first day of ANYTHING. Wear a power outfit. Something you know you look good in. Accessorize it with a new pair of shoes or bag or something from that back to school shopping expedition, we discussed above. Mix in some of your new pieces with old ones. After the first week, start to throw in a new outfit or two, a week. But no more than 2 a week! You are trying to be cool.
-Don't do anything weird. Don't try to cut your bangs the night before school starts. Don't get those rainbow-dollar bill-unicorn acrylics you've always wanted, the weekend before the special day. Don't get a chemical peel or try extracting blackheads from your skin with a pair of tweezers hours before your first class. Don't chop your hair off. Don't wear right-outta-the-package weave hair. Cool girls don't try. You want to look effortless. Save the drastic changes for boredom come October.
-Don't purchase notebooks for every class you are taking. And don't show up to class with all these blank notebooks, with the title of each class written on them in pink Sharpie. One: You MAY change classes. Two: You MAY look retarded. Bring one notebook the first day of school and a pen. Nothing is going to happen the first week anyway. So it's a good time to look extra cool.
-Write stuff you need to know down. Don't be that girl writing down everything the teacher says. Teachers don't teach until at least the second week of school. All the cool kids know that.
-Sit near other cool looking kids in class. Don't talk to them. Just locate yourself in their proximity to them, in case the teacher asks you to pair up or you need to borrow a pen because yours is effortlessly holding your cool casual hair in a bun or something. You are really cool. They will notice this.
-If lockers are applicable to your back to school experience, use them wisely. Sometimes you will be able to pick your locker. Sometimes some adult will assign you one. Eh. No problem. Lockers can easily be switched and moved after the first week. Do not fear if yours has an exceptionally lame location. Use this time to scope out your locker move. Your locker should be somewhere with lots of traffic. Where all the other cool kids walk and will see you. Your locker's location is far more important than whose locker is near yours. Your locker isn't trying to be cool either. It just "is."
-You are too cool to care about lunchroom politics. You and your cool self can totally sit alone. You are THAT cool. Let them come to you. Let them ask if they can sit with you. And if there are no tables open, and you are looking around at that sea of faces panicing; do NOT fear. Pretend you are just walking through. Seem busy. Go eat outside or somewhere else. People will think you were doing something cooler than eating. Pretend you are doing something cooler than eating. PRETEND you are doing something cooler than "them."
New Delta Spirit Pictures
In an interview with National Public Radio’s Scott Simon, [Brandon] Young and [Matt] Vasquez recount how things came together for Delta Spirit. Young happened to hear Vasquez singing near the trolly tracks in downtown San Diego.They exchanged phone numbers and kept in touch.
Four years went by and Young’s band broke up. He called Vasquez and asked him if he was interested in putting something together. Vasquez told him that he would call back in 30 minutes. True to his word, Vasquez called saying he just fired his whole band and was ready to try something new.
