Boston Public FOX Mondays  I think the students were just writing in their journal or doing something where no talking is required when Joe, a senior that I have taught for two years, looked up into the air and then into my eyes and said, “Mister, I tried to overdose on anti-depressants. It just made me sick.” I stopped living and tried to decide what I said that might have sparked that comment. But, there’s nothing I could have said that could have sparked that comment. Kids are extreme. Not just these days but since the beginning of time. It just gets harder to be extreme I imagine with access to a universe of porn though the computer that would have permanently blushed my adolescent skin. Overdosing on antidepressants seems the perfect metaphor for kids today. Or it’s just kinda like them. Like a simile. More... bullied by Pete Nicely on 11/1/2002 ::  So what do you think?? Superstar prodigy designer Michelle Romo of Yellow Toothpick designed this for the site. A new logo perhaps? We shall certainly see! In any case, if you enjoy it as much as I do, go check out more of Michelle's stuff (link above) and help support a lunchboxing affiliate! Also, have a totally sweet rock and roll weekend. I will be celebrating my big 2-6 with a visit from the sis and some pals from L.A. and some festvities tommorow night at the Zeitgeist Bar at Valencia and Duboce in the Mission. If there is such thing as a lunchboxing fan who I don't know, then by all means come check us out. There will be a pinata. bullied by jamie flam on 11/1/2002 :: The Day After  Yesterday was Halloween. Yesterday was crazy. But while I was out selling and distributing glow sticks to the Castro Halloween community, lunchboxer Dr. Lester was at home dispensing delicious treats to the neighbor-folk, and documenting eash transaction on the weapon-shaped message board. If you click here you can get a glimpse at the highlarious happenings that occured last night at Lester's front door. bullied by jamie flam on 11/1/2002 ::  I think the title of this latest Lunchboxing column speaks for itself. It says "Compare & Contrast & Compare Again", all by itself. No one really speking for it, as far as I can tell. Read it and then love it and then read it again! bullied by jamie flam on 10/31/2002 :: Two Eloquent and Graceful Reviews in One Day!  That's right, two of 'em! Tim Molloy breaks down America's #1 movie, Punch Drunk Love with eloquence and grace. Then Travis LoDolce takes the eloquence and grace that Tim passed off to him (with eloquence and grace) and uses it to construct a picture of a night out in San Francisco, focusing on Monday evening's Amon Tobin and Prefuse 73 show at Bimbo's 365 Club. So click on those links, with eloquence and grace, or else with your grubby fingers, and enter a small time heaven. bullied by jamie flam on 10/30/2002 :: Good Morning, Genius  This morning I was greeted by my neighbor as I headed down the corridor on the side of my house to the street with a loud chant of "You da man!". First human contact of the day. I mean, is there really any better way to start the day than with a neighborly exchange of "You da man, no you da man..."? Well, perhaps a morning massage or a money bath or Brooke Shields at your side (She is sooo fine!)...but those are all unattainable. So I have decided that I enjoy nothing more than the affirmation that I am in fact "the man" as I venture out into the world for a brand new day. A confidence booster, no doubt. Unfortunately my high spirits were immediately squelched, however, as I climbed into a huge GMC truck in the casual carpool line this morning. Now, I hate complaining about an absolutely free ride to the city with a kindly stranger, but the driver today had breathing problems that literally made me nauseous. It was an odd combination of exaggerated cartoon snoring, wheezing, and insane monster in the forest waiting to kill me. And it was loud. On top of which, he chose to take what I think is a much longer route, by cutting through downtown Oakland, which entails getting off the freeway, and ends up taking far longer than sitting in what is usually 5 minutes of traffic until the carpool lane begins. Only when the freeway is completely backed up is that even a remotely good idea. So anyways, that extended the torturous drive an extra ten minutes at least and has forced me to use an unneccesary and annoying number of italicized words. Although, the man that drove my roommate Mike and I to the city last Thursday had an unhealthy penchant for using his turn signal and kept his radio tuned to static for a good ten minutes before deciding turn it off completely! bullied by jamie flam on 10/30/2002 :: Things that Don't Come Out in the Wash 5. Bloody semen 4. Semeny blood 3. Opiate-based nerve gas 2. Dr. Dre (America's favorite closeted homo according to Eric Wright) 1. Grape Juice bullied by Pete Nicely on 10/29/2002 :: The Legend of Carpet Bagger  So you enjoyed the first two installments of "Two Political Cartoons" did ya? Well, based on the tens of hits both features received, they are back once again, and better than ever. Resident political cartoonist Charlie Padow is back of course, in typical biting form, alongside newest lunchboxing political cartoonist Chris Weisbart, who has some equally scathing ideas regarding KKKovernment, some of which go back to the olden days of carpetbaggers and scalawags and shit. So read by clicking on the picture of the carpetbaggers above! bullied by jamie flam on 10/29/2002 ::  Sometimes people smoke cigarettes. Sometimes they get addicted to the smoking of the cigarettes. Sometimes they quit. All three of these things happened to me. You can read a little about them by clicking on the cigarette or right HERE. bullied by Jason Betrue on 10/29/2002 :: Things the Philipina Barber at the Mall Said that Made me Feel Uncomfortable  5. I thought maybe because of your nose you were Armenian 4. Philipinos all have very flat noses (pushes nose down at the bridge) 3. Humming along to Don Henley's "The Boys of Summer" 2. Your sideburns are like the guy on 90210 1. Do you want me to break this eyebrow into two? bullied by Pete Nicely on 10/27/2002 :: |
