i don't use punctuation punctuation uses ME

yeah that doesnt make sense. but whatever. hey whats up im hanging out. just tryin to get my posts in whenever possible. its warm outside. some might say UNSEASONABLY warm. what's that about? the weather is trying to make up for june. because june stunk. we know this.

yeah. so i was erging tonight and the monitor stopped working. simply put -- DEVASTATING. i replaced the batteries and that didnt work. the ergometer is a rowing machine. i think erg means energy. so yeah, its completely misleading. i think the idea is that ROWING takes an enormous amount of ENERGY. kinda.

so yeah im gonna google it and try to fix it. it stinks tho. ive still gotta get in shape for head of the charles. you should definitely come watch me at head of the charles if you can. its like my favorite weekend.

yup. aright there's stuff going on, i wanna talk about things, but im gonna leave it at that. there's a lotta life to go around. i just wanted to say hi to my friends, and i guess hi to the people that read this that i dont know. so, hi!

i hope you have a good one.

thanks netflix!

wow, thanks for the recommendation netflix! i'm so glad you figured out what i've been trying to convey to people my whole life -- i love critically-acclaimed dark australian movies! yes! it's about time you figured that out! certainly took long enough!

i mean, it's obvious that i don't care for dark australian movies that arent critically received well. that's no mystery.

ok ill stop. i just like the sub-sub-sub-genre. gotta respect that. the contextual relevance of it though just threw me off.

yeah bc lost today it stunk. but the pats play tmrw, woooo!

aright gotta stay productive later

yo

yo hows it going im hanging out. i dont like using punctuation anymore. i just want all the sentences to run together.

here are some photos of cambridge carnival which was sunday. yeah, thats carnival as in carnivale! with a parade and dancing and soundsystems (stacks of speakers on the back of pickup trucks). pretty cool went with friends and added a couple more sets of friends and we had a fun time.

it took forever for the parade to finally come down the street to central sq but it was worth waiting. the costumers were pretty incredible. these photos arent mine, but i might post some later.

it was pretty cool. i bought a trinidad and tobago flag. exciting! i then later went to kendall sq where many tents were set up and i got some street food -- jerk ribs, plantains, red beans and rice, jerk chicken with some diabolically hot scotch bonnet pepper sauce. that was terrific too.

cool. this is the first post im writing from my kitchen table. thank goodness i have a kitchen table now. i think i should still get seat cushions tho. on the todo list!

k ill talk to you soon, bye

yo

yo ive got a lil bit of a headache but the pats won and im picking up a couch on thursday so its all good ill talk to you soon peace

hi

hi i just got back from the bc kent state game, jeff hooked up the tickets (thanks jeff!). i wish i felt more inspired to write but right now i gotta clean up my room and put up paintings. i've been here for a half a month and i still need to put up pictures. jeez.

but yeah its a little drizzly here but its the weekend and im hanging out. chris says he's gonna make lamb tonight, so ill show up for that. yeah. ok ill talk to you soon.

bye

hey

hey im just checkin in just sayin whats up. gotta go to bed. gnite.

yo

yo i'm lovin it right now, a lot doin around town. still feel good about the bc game, looking forward to watching the game next weekend.

just found out that i'm going to be rowing in the head of the charles. this is my 6th (!) head of the charles. i'm a pretty lucky guy. i'm going to be in the dartmouth alumni boat if you want to root for us. i just erged today for the first time in a loooong time, and i'm gonna have to erg plenty of times between now and oct 17.

this year there's an alumni only event for the first time, which will be good because we wont be racing against other younger faster crews. now we just gotta get a couple ringers to fill out the boat.

the goal this year is to finish the race without being disqualified! haha. i think i'm in better shape than i was a couple years ago when i last rowed in it. and i'm gonna train harder better and smarter too.

i'm amped.

hi

hi how's it going. it's too late and too busy to write anything substantial. had a fun day watching football and hanging out with friends. boston college beat northeastern 54-0. it was pretty awesome. and the us soccer team played well, from what i saw.

i like this photo of coach spaziani looking at the hourly weather forecast. i do that all the time!

yeah. been having fun hanging out and setting the place up and seeing people. went to the farmers markets today and had a feast which was nice. heirloom tomatoes were awesome. i got a local canteloupe which was delicious. made a salad with red lettuce and carrots and radishes and peaches. yum. good times.

oh yeah and all the beatles albums have finally been remastered. pretty cool. time to get beatles songs stuck in your head again!

aright ill ttys --Dave

hey

hey how's it going. i'm hanging out. listening to some good music. in my new place. you gotta check it out. i've gotta go out now and pick up the foam rug pad so i can have a huge relatively soft rug in my living room. yo this building is olllld. built in 1917. pretty cool though.

i just hope everything continues to kinda work, and that a couple more things get fixed up before the cold winter. wow its beautiful outside. if i hadnt moved i woulda been playing basketball and getting more sun, but instead ive just been running around. its cool tho.

its sooo quiet here. i cant even tell if i have my window open cause its so quiet outside! i'm coming from the city and living on main streets for almost four years. yeah. it's less crowded here and i feel less stressed out, yeehaw.

ok, im gonna use the excuse of being too busy to sign off. but ill ttys, later

times like these huh...

yo

yo i aint got no time but im still here will talk soon lata

here's a really crazy photo, city lights, i think it's from the 50s maybe

paying respects

"“I think everyone in Massachusetts feels like they’re their Kennedys,’’ Nagel said, after signing a condolence book placed in the steel-and-glass atrium at the Kennedy library. “There is something special about the Kennedys that makes them ours.’’"

to lighten the mood here are some ridiculous boston tats (check out the zakim bridge!)

distance between us

hey what's up. very sad about teddy kennedy. we'll miss him.

so i'm moving and packing. fun times. i went home and looked through my old stuff -- old papers and letters and photos. wow, it took me way back. i still feel like it's 2000 or 2003 or something. took me waaaaay back. i'm still coming back to the present.

had to drive home today from the cape. wellfleet is incredible. i really think it captured my heart this year. i didnt want to leave. that doesnt happen often with me -- im normally always happy to go home to my comfortable surroundings and routines.

but the beaches are way too beautiful and nice in wellfleet. i'm already looking forward to next year, but i guess i should just try to enjoy the rest of the summer as much as possible.

yeah. ok i'm gonna stuff some more junk in boxes. talk to ya.

Senator Teddy Kennedy

"Kennedy never spoke publicly about the help he gave them. ‘‘We talk about it,’’ said McGinty. ‘‘He downplayed it.’’

Every year that followed, the senator contacted her on the anniversary of the tragedy, and sometimes more often, to check on her and her children, said McGinty.

‘‘I really wondered how I would ever go on, and he’s been such a role model,’’ she said. ‘‘He taught me how to put one foot in front of the other, and do for other people ... I really think that he’s my hero.’’"

you will be remembered. thanks for your years of service. your legacy will live on.

roy reminded me how effective italics are.

hi

hi how are you. i'm hanging out by the water. it's nice. played basketball today and swam and checked out the waves. very large waves knocking people over. guys surfing (i dono how they do it. must be experienced and very strong swimmers.)

the beaches are "closed", which pretty much means that you can only really walk in up to your knees, and that's it. but at least the weather is holding up, and the hurricane never really showed up.

so yeah. some good things have been happening. we should talk about them and catch up. it's the end of summer, and some of my friends have left, which is really too bad. at the same time though, i feel very lucky and blessed that i've been able to hang out with these folks.

so yeah, some changes are certainly coming. i'm leaving my city of 4 years and moving to the next town over. my roommate and i will be parking each other in during the winter (one garage spot and one behind it), so i don't know how that's gonna be, but i think it'll be fine. i'm very optimistic, and feel like things are going to work out.

i'm also finally not going to be living in an area where there are ambulances and fire trucks and police sirens going off all the time. it's going to be quieter and more peaceful. i'm on a side street by a country club, nothing fancy, but it's going to be nice to hang out on the porch and not be bothered by too much noise pollution.

i'm moving on saturday, and will have to pack and such between wednesday and friday.

then the cable guy is showing up saturday afternoon. that's right, i couldn't even last one night without cable tv and internet at my place. yikes, maybe i'm a little too connected.

anyway, all's well, i hope it's the same with you.

i'll talk to you soon.

here's the celtics schedule with mike and tommy that i know you've been dying to see.

keep on

bloggin

here's another one, whoa looks like those candy fruit slices

it's so hot. milk was a bad choice

nother little random doodle. good times! gonna try some more haha. ahhhh packing.

wuz happenin with ya homeboy

whats goin down.

you like this little exercise in graphic design? haha i was just messin around. i might try to do some more bad abstract graphic design art tho, its a good release.

wow is it hot and muggy outside! air so thick you have to wade through it like a hazy pea soup.

i'm goin outta town for a couple days, then when i come back im moving, so its gonna be busy! but busy is a good thing.

everything's good. stay in touch.

hugs

here that i stand

hey what's up. i've been taking some time off, which is a bummer, but im feeling rejuvenated. there's a bunch of things going on, but i'm doing a decent job of staying on top of everything.

it's very hot out, it's been hot this week. i've pretty much been cooped up in my room staying cool when i've been home, but no complaints. i went out and played basketball yesterday and it was hot and i got a lil overwhelmed but i had a good time. just took forever to cool down.

i watched the pats preseason game tonight and it was very boring and there wasnt much scoring. laaaame.

i'm hopefully going to be able to read some at the beach this week, which i am very excited about.

oh yeah and i saw the movie district 9 which was cool. i kinda wanna see it again and write an essay on it (studying scifi films is pretty sweet. like, there are whole books written on the matrix). sometimes theyre very subversive! and district 9 is definitely subversive).

and i wanna see the cove. but i dont really think its for everyone.

aright ill talk to you soon. many hugs

town meeting

a lot of people yelled at Senator Specter. tough crowd.

"Mr. Specter was met by protesters as he left the meeting. He said he thought some of the objectors were genuine grass-roots and some were organized, egged on by talk radio. He also said the meetings had shown him that 'there's more anger in America today than at any time than I can remember.'"
