so...
in the Newseum there is a piece displaying Neal Augenstein's iPhone
apparently... there was talk at one point that they were going to use a photo I took of Neal in Chinatown where Neal was doing his news over the iPhone thing
was discussing with two male co-workers as to whether or not men and woman can be friends then a woman walked in... somehow she knew what we were discussing and she gave us her definitive answer... "yes, men and woman can be friends" which struck me as odd... she is so confident about this yet so many of us try to argue\discuss\understand this the young men I was talking to are both in their late 20's as is this woman maybe I thought men and woman can be friends when I was that age I can not recall but now... I am pretty sure that I believe that men and woman can not be friends sure we can be friendly to opposite sex co-workers and there are people we see infrequently that we consider friends but to have a close friend of the opposite sex? someone that you spend time with on a regular basis? I think not there are a number of "safety" situations where we can be friends with people of the opposite sex but for a best friend... a pal... a person that makes you laugh and smile well... I am not so sure if both of those people are being honest maybe I need to see When Harry Met Sally Again...
Tim Allen... funny... Home Improvement is now Last Man Standing I LOVE IT this last few days have been a LAST MAN STANDING MARATHON! I love the dynamic Tim Allen and his Conservative Colorado identity subtle... then often obvious there are all sorts of real life issues discussed in this comedy the Liberal vs. Conservative debate is just one of them it amuses me... I think that lots of these pop culture elements are reflections of our world and offer up a good chance to take a look in the mirror Last Man Standing.... first three seasons are on Netflix http://abc.go.com/shows/last-man-standing
a friend at work just turned me onto this online Dr. Mario game...
after the first few games I was able to turn the music off and still hear it

Nicole Curtis is the host of Rehab Addict
fun show...
she is energetic and cute
very comfortable in her skin
and... who does not love a "before after show"
Jason put me on paid receive at the last minute before the show on Saturday
so I biked down with my camera to listen to some tunes and snap some shots
great catching up with so many great people
reunion shows bring out a reunion of fans
old friends and familiar faces
face to face answers to "where are they now?"
great catching this opportunity to catch SWIZ what must be 20 years later
Alex on Drums Dave on Bass Jason on Guitar and Shawn Brown on the Mic mention of Shawn on the Gwadzilla Page http://gwadzilla.blogspot.com/search?q=shawn great synergy with these guys they rocked it looked like the band was enjoying the show as much as the crowd but big picture... it is cool to see these bands from this younger\later wave of DC Hardcore get some credibiity
I am not positive, but I think that Swiz played one cover
funny... from the first chord I knew it was not a Swiz tune
we also worked at bike shops together... messenger work... and riding bikes
I went to Bethesda-Chevy Chase high school just a year or two ahead of Jason and Dave
although we never had any classes together
there was plenty of overlap in our day to day lives
I skated... but nothing more than dabbling compared to Dave and Jason
Cedar Crest... White Flint... the woods across the street from Marcus'
Jason and Dave lived and breathed skateboardings along with a colorful cast of characters
most of which I am proud to call friends
all of which make me laugh when I think of them
funny... the main stream mocked the counter culture skateboard crowd... weird to think that their efforts on these ramps were pushing the limits of the sport
certainly as challenging as any mainstream sport
the reunion was in association of the premiere of the Salad Days Documentary
Salad Days Documentary
I am not sure in what capacity... but I know Jason Farrell was involved in the Salad Days Documentary
guess I will have to wait for the credits to see how he contributed
creative character that Jason
I would bet that Jason designed more records for Dischord than any other designer... even Jeff Nelson
