so I'm turning 23 in like two and half days. . .and I've realized this livejournal ain't fulfilling the purposes I want it to. it really doesn't help me stay in touch with people and I'm just whining a whole lot. lame lame lame.
so I registered a blogger account ( http://heyjakeface.blogspot.com ) and I'm going to use it to record the crazier things that go on in my life and blog about the music, books, movies and TV shows I'm watching and shit like that. maybe even my writings. so you can vaguely follow my life through there. or if you really care, my email is still darksidejake@gmail.com and my AIM is jakefacesayshi (though I need to add you to my list if you want me to show up as online). I'm on facebook and myspace too. so really, I'm not disappearing.
so yeah, closed shop. hopefully I'll still talk to you all. |

man, why is everyone so angry? I'm sitting here at Cosi's and twice in a ten minute span has someone gotten visibly bitchy and angry over such an insignificant issue. who the fuck cares if someone took his feet out of his flip flops? it's not like his feet are on top of the table or in your food. and oh boohoo, someone was in a hurry to leave and didn't stand around for 20 seconds to hold the door open for you.
so I could use some perspective. this is actually the "secret" I had mentioned in the last entry. I saw an ad on craigslist for someone looking for a cross country road trip partner. he's moving to California (though the last leg of the trip would be Las Vegas). I responded to the ad because. . .why not? he got back to me and we talked on the phone for a little over a hour on saturday morning. seemed to have the same mentality about life and the trip so it seemed pretty good. and you know, it just seems like it would be a great thing to do now, as far as where I am in my life and timing.
yesterday I met up with the guy for coffee. and he seems nice enough. I don't really anticipate a problem with getting along with him. but something did happen to make me feel a little wary. when we had talked on the phone on saturday and he was telling me how he wanted me to do things that I wanted to and everything and I immediately said "if I only had one choice, I would pick Portland, hands down." because Portland is the one place I want to go. and he was all "yeah, never been to Portland. sounds cool." so anyway, we're having coffee, looking at a map online and he's telling me his route. TELLING. and his route is very specific. and he's telling me that it's going to be out of the way to go to D.C. for the day from frickin' West Virginia. . .and that Portland was definitely out of the way. and apparently the only compromise would be that while we're in Denver, maybe I could find one of those cheap flights and go to Portland on my own for a couple of days while he does a white water rafting trip and I was like "ummm, maybe I don't want to go to Portland by myself? and maybe I'd want to go white water rafting too?" and he just shrugged and said that maybe when we got to Las Vegas, I could go up to Portland by myself and continue the trip on my own.
and. . .I don't know, I'm just not that enthused about doing that stuff on my own? but then I'm also worried that I'm insulting my independence and cheating myself of an amazing opportunity because I'd be alone. so really I'm caught between not knowing what I would regret more. and I know my hesitation is justified given the amount of money I'd be spending. . .but yeah. I just need to make sure that it's okay if I decide not to go because I'm worried that I'll be "lonely" or if this is something that I shouldn't pass up when I'm perfectly capable of functioning on my own and I know that. basically, go because I can vs. not going because it's not the most perfect route in my eyes AND go because I have the chance to vs. not going because I may be forced to be "alone," since believe me. . .I already had that experience last summer when I was on the west coast and it wasn't the most fun one. *shrug*
so. . .have at it. tell me your thoughts. |

I have a seeeee-cret. hopefully I will be sharing it with you in a few days.
birthday 2008 is going to be so good. I am going to the Stars/BellX1 concert on Friday night with a couple of people and then Saturday night is my birthday party. it's promising to be a good turn-out! and I have fun things planned to play and such. I am excited to celebrate the big 2-3.
the new Stars EP is pretty awesome. it's nice to hear some new music from them. the last song "Sad Robot" sounds like a robot, actually and Amy Millan sings in this mystical kind of way almost and the song is completely in french. and dammit, it makes me feel. I feel like listening to it is akin to having sex with a french robot. . .who is gay, obviously.
I've been thinking about taking a bushwhacker to my head. mainly for the purpose of cutting my hair off. but with the last few days, I'm not going to complain if I cut my brain open or something haha. I know, I know, my optimism is sickening. it's all good though. especially if my secret turns out the good way!
and on a finale note, I watched the premiere of America's Next Top Model last night. this is going to be a ridic cycle. this ghetto asian girl, Sheena, is a revelation from the heavens. I am kind of in love with her. |

there is something that has been infinitely bothering me for the last couple weeks and kind of exploded in the last couple of days. I've noticed all around my hangouts in the city, there are the hipsters/scenesters there and I find that when I listen to them, whether I am friendly with them or not, I get really almost somewhat irrationally angry. their entitled pretention makes me angry. because they're fucking robots to me. fucking robots who, ironically, pride themselves on being independent and original when they are the exact opposite of both. yeah, you comb your hair that way and wear thrift shop threads and fill your skin up with tattoos and get your piercings all over your face/ears. . .and it's just pathetic.
and then it makes me think of my friends and my close close friends, the people that I hang out with the most and how incredibly grateful I am that I am surrounded by people who are themselves, you know? and it makes me angry that they are branded as lame and that the word "normal" is used as an insult. because to me, it's a hell of a lot easier to get along with them than those stupid pretentious pricks. I am so eternally grateful that my friends are comfortable enough to be themselves, that they don't pump themselves full of drugs and alcohol every single night because "that's what the great intellects do." that they don't go into another room at parties and sit in a circle and talk about manufactured opinions assembled from topics they are TOLD to be interested in. my friends can kick back with a few drinks and just be relaxed. they can sit around a room and chat and laugh and the conversation doesn't need to be "intellectual" and "deep" and most importantly, FORCED. and those who judge that and force their pretention on me have been put on my shit list.
it is such a fucking art form to be a pretentious scene kid and it's so stupid. being yourself should not be an art form. it should be a natural, effortless thing. not you following some guidebook so you can fit in with all the other robots. so, whatever to them. I feel bad for them that they can't handle being themselves and are so caught up in their affected nature that they don't know who or what they are. and that their interest in topics and such only lie in those topics that have been deemed appropriate to fit in with the lifestyle and how far it is from the ugly reality of "normalcy." my friends, my delightfully normal and lame friends, will end up a hell of a lot more fulfilled because at least they're honest enough to know who they are and don't accept anything less.
this is really not as eloquent or organized as I hope it to be, but it'll do. as long as it's the goddamn truth. |

updates from the last post:
-I should have known better, even as emotionally detached as I am this time around. I just feel slightly like an ass to myself and well. I think there's only so many times I will allow myself made to feel like an ass. but we'll see what happens in the next couple of days. :-)
-I might be getting more moooo-lah for my car than expected. I don't think I mentioned this in the last entry though. well, I'm selling that piece of shit car, yo.
-I have moved in TODAY, woo! I went to take a carload of things over and discovered that Beth's roommate had taken off a bit earlier than expected. so I ended up taking another huge carload over later on. and tomorrow I'm hoping that I only have to do two trips instead of three. and then I will be all moved in and ready to nest away!
-I saw Mamma Mia and frankly, I wasn't impressed. I have a feeling it's a SUPER AWESOME play but I think it got messed up in the big screen translation. it was honestly too cheesy for me and I don't mind cheese, y'all. but I did enjoy most of the music (I'm looking at you Pierce Bronson- ugh!) and I must admit that I think I might like the Amanda Seyfried/Dominic Cooper duet of "Lay All Your Love On Me" more than the ABBA version. :-x I know!
-I still have not found a job but everything's going well and happily!!
-I can't believe I'm actually putting this in my current music thing. I am waiting for all the teasing in the world. |

also, I think I got a bit of a booty call from someone I quite enjoy. which is hilarious because I was bitching after my last botched hook-up (and I use that term VERY loosely given my whole sex policy, just f.y.i.) about how I needed something GOOD. so it's nice to be expecting something familiar and. well. good. ;-)
new season of Proj Runway premiered tonight. I went to a "premiere party" hosted by some gay friends. it was a nice time. though I pretty much left riiiight after because I can only take so much time with most of them. haha. and 2.5 hours was enough. anyway, it looks promising! though Blayne better not try to make "girlicious" this season's "fierce." stop trying to make girlicious happen, Blayne! IT'S NEVER GOING TO HAPPEN.
HOLY CRAP, LESS THAN A WEEK.
I need a job, guys. hahaha I know, right?
I have to say I'm really good with life right now. even if I'm stressed about this and that and this and that and my love life keeps exploding stupidly. . .I'm actually pretty happy. and I'm going to accredit that to changes I've made - moving out, not talking to people who've been a negative part of my life. it's freeing. so fucking freeing.
and oh my god y'all. guys. I'm just so excited for the Mamma Mia movie- my fagometer is rising.
switching gears: this band Fleet Foxes has been getting ALL these raves and praise and I finally checked them out a couple weeks ago and. wow. they came on my favorite indie radio station when I was driving through Willow Grove after returning home from Wildwood. and I just fell in love with them. when I heard them for the first time, it was like. all the oxygen was drained from the car and replaced with this song. that's how good it was to me. so I downloaded their album and EPs and my favorite song of the moment is the one I'm listening to right now "Icicle Tusk" . . . so good. I'm sad that I missed them in concert and will be missing Tilly & the Wall and She & Him. but gots to save the money for til I have a steady job, yo yo yo. even if these shows were like $12 a-pop.
mmm I love the Philly concert scene. I'm so happy to be moving there. |

I've been meaning to write an entry for a couple of weeks, but I haven't gotten around it. I hope you all will forgive me for not writing in here for a while. god forbid, right?
it was Mar's birthday yesterday! happy birthday! I'm going to find you an e-card.
my life's kind of gone in a bit of an upheaval the past couple of weeks. in the beginning of the month, I was informed that I was being laid off due to budget cuts and the stinkin' economy. I tried joining the Obama campaign because I wanted to fucking do something about changing this country, but they wouldn't take me in any other capacity than canvasser. which is not my kind of gig. especially when I was told there were director positions open that I was qualified for. so anyway, the job hunt continues on. I am still moving though. so that's good and all. my biggest worry wasn't that I wouldn't be able to move out but that this was going to be a step back towards all the things I'm trying to change. but alas, there's no need to worry. the people who don't need to be in my life anymore aren't and much-needed changes are still happening.
and I am so not happy with three people who made the Canadian Idol top 10. and that is all I will say about that. fuckin' Mark Day. but I am looking forward to the mess that'll be a David Bowie themed week next monday. haha! |

yesterday, my plans were to go to south Jersey, babysit my cousins until my aunt or uncle got home at about 12:30 in the morning from some retro-prom party they were invited to and then come home and. . .go to bed.
between 11pm and 11:20pm, the following events coincided- a guy I've been flirtin' and smirkin' with invited me to a party in University City and my aunt and uncle got home a hour earlier than expected.
I went to the party. where I was immediately crowned the coolest kid ever since I was wearing my Power Rangers jacket, drank rum and cokes, danced to old school Whitney Houston/Madonna/Gloria Estefan, watched people do some drugs, flirted with the guy a lot, taped a confessional on the camera set up in the bathroom, wore a sombrero with a mexican moustache, became "life partners" with this loveable and loud Asian chick named Anna, got molested via monkey balloon, giggled, dissected the anatomy of Facebook politics, got some action and finally made it home at 6 in the fucking morning.
it was pretty random. |

the song playing right now is my favorite of the moment. and should be added the tracklisting of that mysterious mix cd below. ;-)
I'm ending my second week working at the charter school. it's pretty snazzy. I work with the enrollment office, processing the prospective students' files/paperwork, scheduling appointments, managing student info database. the only bummer is that the job is only temp to permanent right now, so I'm hoping it'll become a permanent position because the hours and pay are heads and shoulders above Crabtree & Evelyn and if I can keep this position, I'll be able to go back to school to get my teaching certification. there's another person who came in at the same level as me and all and I quite don't understand why. I could pretty much do everything that we do in one day. but who knows, maybe it'll become busier or something. but right now, with the amount of work we're getting, I don't understand why there's two people. *shrug*
I should be moving out of my parents' in July. Beth's roommate is moving out and she needs someone to move in. she knows the work situation, she's cool with me subletting opposed to signing the lease aaand. . .I think barring any complications from the landlord, it's a done deal? which is great because I wouldn't really be able to move out anywhere else if this fell through or wasn't brought to my attention or anything. and I WANT to be out of my parents' house before my 23rd birthday. it's in Philly, from what I understand, on the border of South Philly and Center City, within walking distance of South Street and the gayborhood! the history of the place is really cool and the front door is purple and it's Beth, so I'm really looking forward to moving in if it happens. it makes sense that Beth should be my first roommate, I mean she was the first person to dye my hair blue and the first person to accompany me to a Rilo Kiley show. . .so naturally, she should be the first person that I live with.

I have become more and more apathetic about updating this thing. sadly, I feel apathetic about a lot of my life. the job search is seriously weighing me down. but I'm not giving up.
anyway, something I am looking forward to is my date on Friday. :-) he's an English/Philosophy double major at TCNJ, which excites me because I don't get to talk philosophical topics to. . .well, just about anyone. he seems to be extremely low-key and laidback. also known as- not a total queen haha. I was excited for it before, but we chatted on the phone last night for close to a hour and it went really well. usually on the phone, I get antsy after 10 minutes and the conversation lags and I just make some excuse to get off the phone and abruptly will say "OKAY BYE!" and hang up before the other person can respond. because usually if I want to get off the phone and try to say goodbye and wait for the other person to respond, it won't end. but anyway, there's a very select group of people that I can talk to on the phone for an extended amount of time and it's obviously a very good thing that he is one of them. it's a shame that I didn't meet him a couple months earlier, because he lives in north Jersey and obviously the end of the semester is approaching. but if he's into me and I'm into him, then it'll work out. it's a little hard to be optimistic when past experiences teach you to be pessimistic. I'm working on losing the pessimism while keeping my delightfully cynical shell intact. ha!
not much is going on, otherwise. just a lot of hanging out, working, relaxing and job hunting. things are slightly drab and falling in the "not working out" vein and I think that lends to a stronger desire for this date to go well and for something to work out from this, but I have to remember to pull it in and not get too psyched out. which I think I'm doing but. I'm good at keeping things hidden. anyway, I need to shut up because I really have no idea what I'm saying. |

IMPORTANT: does anyone have the "Fur Rabbit Coat" album by Jenny Lewis and the Watson Twins and willing to upload it or send it through AIM for me?
I just realized the other day that I have not re-added that album to my collection after I lost my music back in July. and the only torrent I can find for the album is deeeead. I haven't listened to this album in close to a year, man. . .that's not cool. but what is cool is that I downloaded 4.5 gigs worth of music yesterday. my collection finally passed the 20 gig mark again. I was feeling bare having less than that.
the past weekend was pretty cool. there was a fun party on friday that I went to. something of a crowd. but towards the end, pretty much every couple there were in some huge, drama-filled fight and I very literally was the only person who did not have any drama or crap. I just danced on the coffee table.
I had a dream last night that I was in pajamas, in the kitchen with my family, making something. . . but it was my old house. the one on Media Parkway that I spent 11 years in. and there was a knock on my door and it was a friend of mine, we'll call X. and X's father. which is weird because they do not live anywhere near me. or ever did. and they were like "we're going out for a drive you wanna come with us?" and I was all "SURE. just give me 3 minutes." because I had to get dressed and fix my hair. so I go upstairs to my room and I have an IM from X's supposed best friend who I am not friends with. and XBF has sent IMs like, "warning! X is coming over! don't get dragged into that bullshit!" and I laughed and responded "oh, you see through it too?" and then I woke up. the latter half of the dream is easy enough to understand, I guess. . . but I don't understand why I was in my old house. I never really cared for any of my houses, except my grandfather's. and I don't understand why X/X's family were living nearby my old house. X and I were not friends when I lived there. any takers?
that was random.
I'm going to go to Best Buy because the wireless card I got for Hanukkah stopped working. and I tried fixing it and it didn't work. and it never really improved my connection anyway. because while the Mbps was higher, the signal strength was lower, which was bizarre because it was the same company as the router we have. the only improvement the card gave my internet was that the signal never gave out. my internal wireless card loses the signal from time to time. so it's not big of a deal. hopefully I can get a merch credit for it and put it towards a new digital camera because someone pickpocketed mine right out of my coat at a bar a few weeks ago. the jerk.
p.s. I want some good music recommendations of the pop/rock/folk indie variety. any good singers/bands that I'm not listening to? try me! |
