No one else was the baddest. No One

File under... Dead Rockstars — mylo @ 11:47 pm

I talked about a lot of things here, celebrities, elections, the economy, war, love.

But I have never talked about something as tragic as this.

Sho’nuff the Shogun of Harlem, has passed on to the great beyond. 

I know children, shhh, shhh, shhh.  Dry your tears.  I know it’s hard, and we need guidance now in such a troubling time.  When our elected leaders fail us, we turn to you Sho’nuff to give us the wisdom we are so lacking.

But now you can only hear our pleas in heaven, where you belong.

Ok fine, maybe I believe in signs a little too much.

File under... Heart 'o' Darkness, The Miseducation of Mylo — mylo @ 11:21 pm

So I enrolled in classes today.  I lucked out and got the ones I wanted.  So awesomely enough I didn’t need a backup schedule, which is good because I didn’t have one.

I was about to leave school then I saw that there was an info session on the screenwriting certificate.  Sweet considering I enrolled in the intro class, I bopped over to the session got some questions answered. 

When that was done, I decided to go to barnes and noble and stop off at the diner.  I went to the photography section hoping to find something on road trip photography, because my heart is more involved with the heart ‘o’ darkness trip than anything.

I had the book in mind, The Americans by Robert Frank (intro by Jack Kerouac).  The problem was that it was out of print for god knows how long, and the only copy I managed to find locally was at a bookstore.  I twas a mint first condition, and worth 200. 

I refuse to pay 200 for any book.

It being the BN and all was a new fresh printed copy for 40 bones.

Score!

Considering I enrolled in a photography class (which I’m VERY nervous about), I’ll consider it a good sign.

Back to School

File under... Day to Day — mylo @ 10:21 pm

So I paid school back, and now I can go back.

Yay right?

Sort of.  I know I want to finish a degree.  I know that I’m halfway done, (65 credits out of 120 required), and I know that for the future it will be pretty helpful to have an actual college degree.

But I like goofing off at night playing Grand Theft Auto IV.  Seriously!  I’m awesome at gang bangin’, doin’ hits, and generally fucking shit up.

However, it needs to be done.  So with heavy heart, I paid the cash back, verified that I was able to walk on in, and started looking over the course catalog.

Luckily Miss Brit has been wonderfully surportive.   After all she’s dying to actually have a boyfriend with a college degree.  As I was looking over my catalog, she downloaded it on her computer to try and help me choose my classes.

She was helpful with recommendations, but I did realize a few things.  I have 6 semesters left (I’m going part time remember?) Originally I wanted to get the certificate in screen writing while I was there, and take as many classes in photography as possible.

I’m running out of time to do that.  If I go for the certificate, the problem is it’s going to limit my choices for the next 3 years.  Especially if I go for photography courses.

That would mean there would be less classes for regular writing, less chances for history, philosophy, and psyche.

FUCK!  Why am I a sucker for challenges?  I’m really left with two solutions

  1. I can go for a masters to make up with the ones I really love
  2. Take them after for non credit (at 500 a pop)

I’m not really feeling either, but I can use them all and maybe another journalism class (feature writing).

So I don’t know, but I have a week to figure it out.

It only took one year, and almost three months

File under... Love and War — mylo @ 12:09 am

So as mentioned, a while ago Ms. Brit (aka Jess) is back with her natural habitat where is she is doing stuff in english politics, and looking down her nose at the rest of the world in that superior way that all limey’s have.

I know, if you really think about it, it does kinda blow the mind how she ended up with an ill-educated GB rat.  Jeez I feel sorry for the poor girl.

I think I previously mentioned most of my major crush’s and loves ends up with a song assigned to them for memory purposes.  I try to keep with a common song,  but not that common.

For example, this girl named Maria had Date with ikea, by pavement.  Lisa D Aussie had Almost Lost you there, by screaming trees.

Ms. Brit didn’t have any, it wasn’t for lack of trying.  We even went to lollapalooza together, but nothing really said anything about her.  I even made her a mix CD, there was some really good stuff there but nothing in particular said this is Jess.

The closest I had was some song by zombina, Nobody likes you when your dead. 

I know, she likes weird girly pop. 

She also likes 80’s night at pyramid.  I remember they played Erasure a lot.  You know, A Little Respect?  I was watching a rerun of Scrubs tonight, and the episode revolved around that song.

I remembered pyramid, I remembered Jess, then Jess got her song.
