in case you can't tell, sometimes I get amped about things. as you know, i tend to get really amped sometimes. this is one of those times. i might have to stay up all night Friday to watch rowing. get excited.

Elliot Hovey, Olympian

Elliot Hovey, Olympian

Elliot Hovey is an Olympian. He is the man. I rowed with him out of Boston Rowing Center for a summer in high school. He sat behind me in 4 seat when we won the Junior Mens 8+ Gold Medal in the summer of 2000. I remember that we crossed the finish line and he splashed water on me and gave me a celebratory shoulder shake.

Elliot is from Manchester-By-The-Sea, Massachusetts. He went to Salisbury School. Elliot also won the IRA National Rowing Championship gold medal in the Varsity Heavyweight 8+ in 2006 with my high school coxswain, Tim O'Connell, who is also the man.

Elliot is representing the United States of America in the double along with Wes Piermarini, who is from West Brookfield, Massachuetts and went to the University of Massachusetts, where he was a walkon on the heavyweight crew.

They begin racing Saturday. Watch, and wish them good luck!

Boston gives berth to Olympic rowers

"Words to live by
Q: Do you have words to live by?
A: Jim Jarmusch once told me “Fast, Cheap, and Good… pick two. If it’s fast and cheap it wont be good. If it’s cheap and good it won’t be fast. If it’s fast and good it wont be cheap.” Fast, cheap and good… pick two words to live by."

yooooo is that a blog you got there?

you're going the wrong way

you're going the wrong way

i heard that this week. i knew it to be true, but it only mattered in context, and a stretch at that

been basketballin and sunning and swimming, i'm pretty lucky, life is strange that way

might have to make it enormous room three times this week. yikes.

everyone loves my dubstep tshirt. and i got love from a guy at my gym for the rondo tshirt.

i'm desperately trying to wear shirts that aren't blue. it's an incredible challenge.

i had one of the better dinners of all time this week at Rendezvous in Central Square. the sous chef, Ben Ladd, is a great friend and hooks it up. anything he touches is delicious. here he is, go say hi to him, buy him a Maker's Mark

bumped into Vicki Siolos of basstown fame a couple times this week. i love how she's responsible for hundreds of people dancing. the steps follow her.

talked to Jam-2 at goodlife on wednesday. told him that i loved the Operation Underground show with 4 DJs. he said thx and said that they were gonna do it again sometime.

i told Pandai'a that she rules and gave her mad props for being the first female DJ to ever play Dubwar in NYC. huge accomplishment, so lucky that she's around here

i've watched some of USA basketball, scrimmaging canada, turkey, lithuania. good times, pretty good commentating, it's scary to think that Dwight Howard might crush the East in years to come.

the weather has been...hot, muggy, stormy, lil loco. there have been a couple pink and purple punsets, beautiful pastel blurs that shift downwards when you aren't looking.

i miss blogging and i miss writing. i talked to Rena this week and she told me of things to do, things that i'm not doing, things that i could be doing. talking to her i imagine myself in other arenas under different stresses, producing quality work of a different kind.

it's August, which is my favorite month of the year. i think i just like the laziness laid back aspect to it. the days are slow, the days are dog days. relaxing isn't done on purpose, it's the only relief from the heat.

the olympics are almost here, don't get me started, i'm concerned for my life because i may have to watch all of it.

my lifelong dream is to actually watch an olympic ping pong game, it might have kind of happened once before, but i reeeeealllly need it this time.

saw Clynton and Sol Melodiq at Kendall Sq yesterday as part of the Berklee Summer Series. they tore it up at the ICA last night too, gettin ppl drunk and dancing. my hat goes off to him and Stephana for getting Boston to boogie.

Manny's gone, adios amigo. you're something else. like they say, you'll do anything.

putting stuff off is dangerous. be wary, very wary, wery, vary.

enormous room was fun tonight, really no excuse for not getting over there once a week

listening to this album doubts and convictions by the troublemakers, it's really good!

c's resigned tony allen and eddie house aka TA and E House. you can't leave the house. i'm really psyched

this is what's percolating, or, as technorati says, Front page / what’s percolating in blogs now

these photos are by j. polon, with an slr. kinda crazy. i'd like to understand what an slr means to a photographer. the jump from photofilm to slr is like regular tv to hd. there's no comparison. if you take a photo with an slr you can make it look like it was designed with a computer, pretty incredible

but j deserves credit for these photos, i really like them and i really think they're impressive

every flavor of jellybean

if you blogged more i would read it

wow, a lotta lotta fun, The Mae Shi

these photos are unrelated, from a bbq a couple weeks back, pong in the rain y'all























































The Mae Shi were fantastic at great scott tonight, I wanted them to keep on playing and playing. they did a song from the rapider than horsepower split "Don't Ignore the Potential" and I loved it, "Nickel Arcade"

i had to get the new dvd, a couple t shirts (Jeff, you gotta try one on), and the vinyl. I never buy vinyl, so it's a special rarity for me, two records in the sleeves

managed to get some ppl to come, even saw a friend from winchester unitarian youth group who's going to Spain tmrw. drove over to Joe L.'s with Drew and met up with cats, yv dropped by the hobbit hole for a second, we got there at the right time and remembered our IDs, we even had glowsticks!!!!

here are things that knowledge was exchanged on tonight: BBN and the cost of private pre-secondary education, 16mm cameras from the 1950s from West Germany and their upkeep, and tinkering with old binary-based computer chips to create music.
