Online Community Absence

I haven’t been online as much for a month or so.  My brother got married, vacations, etc, golfing, boating, paddle boarding, etc.  People talk shit about twitter/tumblr all the time.  Yeah it’s shitty if you’re tweeting every mundane “going to Taco Bell” thing of your day but not in the Favstar world.  It’s good to be back!

Stand Up Comedy

I’m going to see Neal Brennan on Thursday, pretty excited about it.  I saw Rob Delaney earlier this year and he was really fuckin funny.  I’ve followed both of these guys for awhile on twitter and I’d probably not know who either of them were otherwise. 

First twitter avi!  All fancy with the colored pencil Macbook ‘effect’.

4th of July

I’m the neighbor who spends too much on fireworks and blasts them off way too late.  This year my cousin’s new boyfriend tagged along to the Indian Reservation to purchase the illegal goods.  He chipped in $$$ so of course I let him help me light off the show.

The boyfriend is from Texas and has never been able to shoot off fireworks.  The first round went fine, but during the second round, one of the mortars backfired and caught my shirt on fire.  No big deal we put it out, we’re on a dock in the Puget Sound for God’s sake it’s not that dangerous.  We shot off a couple more rounds then another one backfired and almost melted our faces.  This had never happened in previous years.  The only variable was my cousin’s boyfriend, Tex.  I watched him load up the next round and sure enough he was loading one of the coke can shaped mortars backwards.  They were just firing back into the firing tubes and turning the dock into Beirut!  Haha, it certainly spiced up the show!

I’m taking an extra long lunch today.  Gotta get my mind right!

Snake Tale

A friend of a friend has a gigantic python.  I’m not sure actually how long it is, I’m not a zoologist, but the thing is easily over 6’,  just a monster, and it freaks me out when he lets it out of its cage when we’re kickin it at his house.  It seems like a nice enough reptile for restraining from biting my face off at any time.

The last couple nights the python has gotten out of its open cage and crawled into bed next to the owner, Tim.  Tim woke up both mornings with this scaly armless beast spooning him.  This isn’t usual behavior for the python so he called the reptile specialist/vet/zoo (not clear on who he actually calls for snake info) but they told him to bring the snake in IMMEDIATELY.

It turns out the snake wasn’t sleeping next to Tim as much as he was sizing him up.  The python was laying next to him at night, making sure he was big enough to eat Tim.  

I hate snakes so this is just another reason for me to continue to hate them.

Whiskey in a Tumblr: Vegas, LA, Portland, Seattle

emppalp:

Those are the cities I’m visiting in the upcoming weeks.

I’m going to be absolutely broke as fuck afterward but I don’t care.

One, for Vegas, I may never see any of the twitter/tumblr people I meet there ever again. Too sad an idea not to just do it.

Plus I miss LA. It’s been 4 years since I’ve…

When are you coming to Seattle and where are you staying?  Give me some details bro.

Unfollowed for the Gay Marriage tweet

Well, I got unfollowed by 5 people for my gay marriage tweet.  I guess I should’ve posted it as a #truthfultuesday post because I’m seriously just curious.  None of my gay followers starred it so hopefully none of them were offended by it because that wasn’t my intention at all.

Gay Marriage

Pretty sure “Born This Way” is still being played on loop in NYC.  I think gay people should be able to marry and spend the rest of their life with the person they love.  They have the right to argue over bull shit and get a tax break just like any heterosexual couple.  It also has no effect on my life whatsoever, so I wouldn’t want to deny a certain part of society happiness.  All these closed minded people who say gay marriage will lead to people marrying animals, polygamy, etc., go fuck yourself.  

But I just tweeted this…any input would be appreciated.

So gay couples, when you get married how do you decide who buys the engagement ring?
