I'm Just An Animal Looking For A Home (Or The Plight of the Twenty-Something)

I am your typical non-committal and nonplussed twenty-something they've been devoting so much attention to in the press lately.The Millennials who just can't get their shit together.The person with debt. The person who rents. The person who has short-lasting relationships. The person who woke up one morning and realized that the career she is in, the career she went to college for, the field she is supposed to love and…See More

Dating, Technology, and You

You've been in a threesome before.It wasn't that time in high school you got drunk of off 40s with a waitress from Crackle Barrel and her boyfriend out behind the 7-Eleven. Or that night at the bar you mistook two middle-aged men from Bulgaria as two thirds of the Jonas Brothers.The threesome I'm talking about is you, your partner, and technology.The gigantic fat and smelly 1200 pound gorilla flingin' his poop across the room.It is impossible in this day and age to not have technology and…See More

Self-Promotion and The Blogger

Self-promotion is a quintessential aspect to being a popular blogger. There is no way around it. Most of us do not like promoting ourselves out of fear of looking like a giant narcissistic boob. However, the truth is, if you want anyone other than your parents to read your blog, you're going to have to do it. Just because your blog is out on the internet, doesn't mean that people read it. It takes a lot of work to make others aware of your writing (...if you care about these sort of…See More

The Artistic Importance of Longing

I read an article on Huffington Post recently discussing how longing prevents usfrom fulfilling our dreams. The author made the obvious point that ifwe're stuck in the past and long for people, places, and things that arerealistically unattainable, then we will never truly enjoy our lives.The essay hit home for me because I realized that I'm a person that doesindeed live in the past and not…See More

Site Metrics

Hey Guys!So I'm kind of internet savvy-less. I just bring the writing. Kind of clueless in all the technical parts of having a blog (I'm sure if I actually concentrated, I wouldn't be asking this impending question). With that being said, I would like to check out the stats of my traffic. What site meters do you guys recommend?See More

The World is Really Wild at Heart and Weird on Top, Lula Thought

I'm sitting in a cracked leather booth somewhere in the desert of west Texas.I squint through the blinds and a faded sign tells me that I'm at Papa's Pantry in Van Horn.There are three ceiling fans in Papa's Pantry. They're lazy, just like the tongue of the waitress who brings me my iced tea.Wait, aren't I still in Los Angeles? Who are these two guys sitting behind me with cowboy hats?I take a deep breathe and let out a slow exhale. Somebody has finally released the nozzle and let all the air…See More

TSSF (Twenty-something Sh*t Fest)

This is an essay that I wrote last year during the height of my twenty-something freak-out.I kind of miss those days.---------------------For the love of God! I don’t think I’ve ever been this depressed before! This has to be the lowest I’ve ever felt in my entire life. I am so unbelievably lost and lonely right now. My brain hurts and my heart perpetually aches. I don’t think it can get any worse than this.Just when I think my twenties have reached the pinnacle of patheticness, I flip through…See More

What City Should You Live In?

I'm obsessed with reading those "25 Best Places to Live If You're A...." articles on MSN/Yahoo/Google. A couple of those articles helped perpetuate my move to the city I'm currently living in- Austin, TX (one of US News and World Report/Kiplinger/Yahoo Fiance/Money Magazine's top places to live).Having lived in a few of the frequent cities that appear on the lists (Austin, Los Angeles, Charlottesville, VA, Ithaca, NY) and spending significant time in others (Toronto, Chicago, and New York City)…See More

The Blum and I

Last night, I came across an enjoyable little mockumentary called PITTSBURGH starring Jeff Goldblum. The film follows Jeff, his (cough) 23 year-old fiance, and his friends Ileana Douglas and Ed Begley Jr. as they star in Jeff's hometown stage revival of "The Music Man". Jeff Goldblum pretending to be Jeff Goldlbum is always a winner . I could watch the dude talk to his hands. This movie is worth checking out if you're a fan of the Brundlefly.Ah, Jeff Goldblum...I had the pleasure of working…See More

How to Become a Hollywood Assistant

I wrote an Ehow a bit ago about how to become a Hollywood Assistant and all the not-yet-jaded kids seemed to like it. However, I should have put a disclaimer, "But you're a fucking jackass if you think you REALLY want to be a Hollywood assistant."So little do they know...You see that picture of that girl? You want to look like her? Tired eyes, frizzy hair, walkie talkie strapped to belt, listening to her boss scream obscenities in her ear as she tries to drown it out by shoveling into her mouth…See More

okay, umm why is it that wordpressers can't comment on your blog? Are we diseased or something? There's no open id, there's no steak bar buffet, nothing! Just google :(

Anyways I was hella going tell you how i use the same highway101 like everyday. That ocean is awesome. I've streaked on that ocean when I was on a date. It was super fun. You should've went to a show. Every show has cool people until closing time and then no matter who you are, you're invited to the house parties. It's a pretty laid back place

I love your blog! Your post on guerrilla art has really made me smile - I'm not very brave with things like that, but I could totally go for one of your suggested softer options :) Love it! I saw an article in Dazed and Confused magazine last year about guerrilla gardening that was just magical - I love how contagious it is!
