blast from the past

i typed "blast from the pants" at first. i guess that would have been a more interesting blog entry. too bad for you, huh?

every once in awhile i like to look back at blog entries from previous years just to see what was going on back then at this particular day. well, there's no entry for the 23rd of november from last year, but by reading the surrounding entries it sounds like things were pretty hectic but amusing. i was finishing up "Not California" over thanksgiving break (ironically, i had planned to record all this week too, but various things ruined my plans), and by the end of the week the Rocktopus had emerged. there was also the infamous "OH SHIT JIGGLYPUFF!" Picture Contest.

2 years ago i had just recently moved into the westview in pull-man. i was having my first thanksgiving here (with real food and people and stuff). i had just invented the phrase "bitch rockets", soon to become one of my favorites. i also had a blog post titled "the tampa bay fuccaneers", which is pretty freaking immature.

the niners won their first super bowl in november of 2005, and here's a random hilarious comment from 2 years ago, regarding madden football and the posting of screenshots: "i think when you get to the point of hanging a fantasy football plaque on the wall or posting 10 photos a night of your fake video football team on your livejournal, you don't need a life anymore, because you've created an entirely different and bizarre entity that doesn't even really classify as a "life" in any way, but is completely incompatible with it."

there was also this awesome quote about thanksgiving: "i'd like to thank my local manifestation of god for life and i'd like to thank our culture for once again memorializing and celebrating bigotry and genocide, and providing me with a humungous legacy of guilt and misunderstanding to carry around just because of my skin color and speaking accent." such a cynical young boy i was.

there was also the infamous "googling the carnivorous erection" incident, which i won't get into here again. you can figure it out on your own if you really need to.
