Chicks and Things...
I think somebody drugged this puppy...
So...I asked a girl for her number today...sorta. That was weird. It's also weird that I'm blogging about it...oh well (sorry, no more meta-comments). I went out with some friends of mine for drinks at a Pub in Pasadena, the Luckly Baldwin, btw, how cool is THAT name?!...very cool. Anywho, a friend of mine brought along her roommate and we hit it off pretty well. Talked a few times during the night, joked around a lot, ended up talking pasts/families/school stuff, ya know, the basics and all that jazz. She seemed uber cool and uber drama-less. Always a plus. So I called up my friend (her roomie) the next day and asked her for permission to gimme her number.
This is not a blog to toot my own horn on my ballsiness (not too sure who I'd be tooting if for anyway...), but moreso to declare a new philsophy towards life...and dating. I'm pulling a Costanza and doing the exact OPPOSITE of what my instinct tells me is a good idea, or at least what I would normally do in everyday situations, maybe moreso in dating/girl typsa situations.
Don't worry (Ben), this isn't some desperate plot to get a girlfriend...again...but moreso an overhall on a broken system. I'm so tired of getting vaguely interested in a girl, then overnight getting headoverheals in love with her and then breaking my own heart when nothing comes of it. (Btw, Death Cab is overpoweringly soothing in times of turmoil and should never be underestimated when making sleep/nap/chill/hw/writing mixes.)
So I took a big step. I asked for her number. I think normally I would friend request her (facebook) or something stupid and hint at mutual friends that she was cute or something, perhaps talk her (and my) roommates to all hangout, and hope that we hit it off...randomly...so yeah. No idea if this approach will turn out better at all, but at least it's a different approach. And that's something I need right now. Something different.
As far as this new Costanza philosophy navigating over into other areas of my life? Hmm...haven't gotten there as of yet. I just decided on this thing on Friday and I honestly haven't really made a lotta consequential decisions since then. Well, tomorrow I work, and have class...and maybe even call that girl...hmmm...I'll letchya know what I do...and then do the opposite of...I'm done now.

All Singletary. All The Time.
Ok, so as soon as I found out about Nolan gettin' axed, I got a little excited, then when I found out Mike Singletary was taking over, I got unfathomably joyful. Even if he can't turn the Niners round, he's still got the pedigree to be a great coach. Here's what my overly obsessive youtubing mind found on him...
First of all, skip ahead in this video to about 2:16 and there are almost 3 solid minutes of some of the best Singletary highlights you can find...
Here's a few more highlights, plus a history lesson on Chicago Bears MLBers...
"Samurai Mike" gets his solo around 1:21 of this vid...
Great profile of the '85 Bears (some great Singletary highlights too!)
Here's a sweet spoken-word commercial about him too...
So, apparently this new coach of ours is not only a freakin' BEAST, but a Christian as well...hmmm...
And apparently he needs glasses...?

TWO Amazing Things!
Ok, first of all, and not to overshadow the glorious fact that DeMarcus Nelson not only MADE the team, but is officially the STARTING POINT GUARD for you Golden State Warriors!!! Snaps.
More Details on DeMarcus' New Job
BUT...
A certain Mr. Nolan was fired today from the San Francisco 49ers organization. Praise God. He was replaced by Mike Singletary, a man who is already in the NFL Hall of Fame and is also already coaching the most dominant aspect of current 49ers football: Linebackers.
That is all...for now...be stoked.

Dubs in Beijing
I know, in the words of my disrespectful roommate, Brent, "Ben, it's only PRE-SEASON."
Anywho, this was still an amazing game...

Dr. Julius Pepper?
Yeah, so have you seen that Dr. J/Dr. Pepper commercial (the "slow motion" one)?
Well even if you haven't, appreciate this...
Another blogger shoutout.

Deep Thoughts with Jack Bendy
Life sucks sometimes. Then it's okay for awhile...then it sucks again. Man. Pooooop on that!
...right? I mean, c'mon, life! Step it up...sheesh.
This is a cool pic I Googlated. Cheered me up for half a sec...then I found THIS one...
MADE THIS ONE...suckas....
I feel sorta sick today.
What should I do with my life?
I've been freaking out. LA Recording School? Finish my College Counseling M.S. program? Musicians Institute of LA? Move to Africa/Haiti/China and do ministry fulltime?
Who knows!?!?...no seriously...who knows??? Do you? Because if somebody who is reading this (Jason, Jorge, CoRri...love you three), and you any of you KNOW for certain (or have a clue) about what I should be doing with my life (academically, vocationally, spiritually, emotionally, ministerially, relationshipially???), please, seriously, please fill me in. I'm rather disconsorked over the whole thing.
Disconsorked:
Yup. That's me...less feminine, all except the eyeshadow at least...and maybe the earrings, but I don't wear lipstick too much these days.
Suffice to say, I'm rather confused on life. I know I like playing music, recording music, producing music, editing music, hanging out with friends, playing GTA4 and NBA 2k9, writing (sometimes)...and...other things that don't really pay, well, anything really.
I think I'm coming to the realization that I'm not going to live a glamorous, high-paying lifestyle. I've kinda known that for awhile, but I s'pose barely being able to pay bills the past few months, it's really hit home. At least I'm not the Pottyville Poopsquads (Brent...sucka...).
It's for certain it's tough times when your one true joy and happiness in life is being at the top of you Fantasy Football league...ok, it's not my ONE and only true joy and happiness..., but it's still pretty high on a rather short list.
I got really depressed last year about this time, but that was sparked by a girl...two girls, really. I guess this year's Autumn depression can be mostly attributed to a slight life crisis though.
Besides all that fun stuff though, I think I've voting for Barack Obama. I through out all my ideologies after hearing several Sarah Pail interviews...b/c hey, she could verywell be our next President. Scary.
Plus, how could you say "no" to a cute little fact like this...
And besides, if you throw out all political affiliations, and let's say McCain, Palin, Biden AND Barack would all be horrible choices for President, it'd just be pretty dang sweet to have a (half...) Black President. Tiiiight.
Not to mention, he's obviously a fan of the Fonz...
'Nuff said.
Just think about it...Dick, Jimmy, Ronald, George, Bill, George again, then Barack!? What??? Carter, Reagan, Bush, Clinton, Bush, Obama!?!? That's insane!!! Who would do such a thing?!?!
America, that's who.
Boo. Yah.
I think that's all I have now. Mmkay, now I bed go my sleep to in will. Night.
Sleep well, little B-Rock..dream big, little guy. Dream big.

On Top of The World, Baby, I'm On Top of The World!
It's a beautiful thing...
Life is good...although it is a little lonely here on the top...but good.
Life is good...although it is a little lonely here on the top...but good.
Here we go again...
I know I promised that I wouldn't make this a Warriors-only blog, but it's definitely going to be a Warriors-heavy blog (sorry CoR).
Also, I would like to note that (my team) the NorCal Ballers are officially at the tippy top of (our fantasy football league) Pimps and Hoes standing tall at 4-1. Gnar Gnar on the Tizzight.
Anywho, I've been getting a LOT of mail asking me about my feelings on the upcoming presidential election, so...
This is hilarious...
This is sad...
This is sadder...
And I want this...
I know, that last one isn't too political, but it still inspires me to live a better life.
Moving on. Life is still good. Still GREAT, I should say, however, my whole "life crisis" thingy is kinda getting out of control. I decided I'm going to give it till the semester to make a final decision, but then again, no decision IS a decision after all...damn.
