Wow, its been over a year since I put some sort of crap on here. Somebody called me a 'Local Man' today while on break from playing String Trio. It made me feel like a real New Yorker. Yep. You can listen to my trio here (www.myspace.com/triomiomyo), but the recordings were done on an mp3 player so they kind of suck. Good Music though.. That's all I really have to say in the year 2009...

I've been considering becoming homeless, not by chance, but by choice. My inner animal wants out of its cage. It wants to roam, to hunt, to fuck as Gaia intended... to be a creature of the earth.

If I am to liberate myself from the fabrications of society, I must cast off all its chains. Cast off the monetary system. Cast off governmental institutions. Cast off corporate institutions. Cast off institutions. Cast off elitism. Cast off Castes. Cast off society.

What is important in life? Food. Shelter. Love.

Look at me bullshitting profoundity. One of these days I am going to develop a Jesus complex.

Reject Society. Embrace Love.

I got a new scanner.

Stay Tuned for more scanned goodness.

I realized the other day that craigslist may not be the best resource you can utilize in search of bandmates. The act of leaving one's apartment is crucial in the process ... a sort of buffer to your madness. And sometimes you would rather look unreliable than be a dick ... because there is no way you can word "do you live in a mental health facility?" correctly.

Perhaps one day you will become my rival. My last rival went back to high school. Sweet! Just what she always wanted.

In politics news, blow all that positive energy (wishes and prayers) towards Dennis Kucinich. Someone get this man a blimp! ... and also throw a few coins this way.

FUCK YOU DEMOCRATS! I'm looking at you, Nancy Pelosi. And Fuck Fascism!

Why I Am Not Voting in the 2007 New York General Election

I have spent this morning deciphering bureaucratic bullshit in an attempt to decide who I want to support for the Presidential Primary. As of now I am officially undecided on who I want to vote for in the primary. I lean towards Ron Paul in the Republicans and Mike Gravel in the Democrats. In reality I want to vote in both primaries.

Apparently New York has a rule that you can only change your party affiliation once per year, and it goes into "affect one week after the general election." The voter registration deadline for the 2007 general election is tomorrow, Oct 12. This rules out registering as an Independent and changing that before the primary. It seems I would have to make my decision in the next 24 hours as to who to vote for in the primary.

Since I moved to Brooklyn from Ohio this summer, I am registering as a new voter and could register for the primary before January 11, 2008 (here and here), but that would mean missing the 2007 general election.

Then I thought, "What is on the ballot anyway?"

The NY Senate election is in 2008, the NYC Mayor Election is in 2009, the NY Governor's election is 2010. It turns out that there are only a few races in Brooklyn this year on the ballot, with very little opposition. The only close race on my ballot is to decide which Democratically backed candidate will become the first black woman to serve on the Surrogate Court.

I have decided that I would rather wait until January to decide what candidate and party I want to support in the 2008 Presidential Election than choose which of the two democratically backed candidates will serve on a local Court. Otherwise I would rush my decision since I must immediately declare a political party. In some strange way not voting will make me a more informed voter.

This is so like my phone:

Check out Over-Compensating.

Also, fuck the iphone. The ultimate nerd phone is the Openmoko. It has wifi and crap too.

I bet Japanese phones shoot lasers by now...

Did you hear about the handbook on using women employees? Here are some highlights.

"General experience indicates that "husky" girls - those who are just a little on the heavy side - are more even-tempered and efficient than their underweight sisters." Those bulimic women spend too much time in the bathroom anyway.

"Retain a physician to give each woman you hire a special physical examination - one covering female conditions. This step not only protects the property against the possibilities of lawsuit, but also reveals whether the employee-to-be has any female weaknesses that would make her mentally or physically unfit for the job." Gynecologist???

"Give every girl an adequate number of rest periods during the day. You have to make some allowances for feminine psychology. A girl has more confidence and is more efficient if she can keep her hair tidied, apply fresh lipstick and wash her hands several times a day." Thats unfair treatment. As a man I want an equal amount of break time. We gots to look good too!

Dear Ohio,

I moved to NYC this summer. Now I take the train every day, eat plenty of bagels, and get pissed off at tourists. One of my favorite activities to play is "Spot the Hipster." That game is deck.

I recommend checking out the webcomic Cat and Girl.

I recorded a Tyrone Wells song. Enjoy!

Sincerely,
Noah In New York

My girlfriend and I spent a day at the beach.

Is that photographic evidence of a ghost? or a water droplet?
