Laminated

I start college next Tuesday at this shithole known as Los Angeles Harbor College:

That’s the best photo of the campus I could find on the school’s website. A photo of some people painting one of the buildings… classy.
Anyway, I’m excited in a weird way. I haven’t been in a classroom in almost 3 years due […]

This is just some stupid stuff about my personal life, but this is my website so I can talk about whatever I want.
I went to Amoeba, a record store in Hollywood, the other day and bought The Casket Lottery’s “Moving Mountains” (recommended by my friend Jeff), which I found for really cheap in the used […]
