"insanity in individuals is something rare – but in groups, parties, nations and epochs, it is the rule." – friedrich nietzsche #
a disruptive force. #

@twatson thanks! in reply to twatson #
listening to "amnesia" and forgetting how awesome some of my old mixes are http://bit.ly/c7wwUW #
i've cut coffee for a week, but now every time i look at my coffeemaker it shows the time as 4:20. think it's trying to tell me something. #
@nmyra except for owls of course. in reply to nmyra #
OH: "well, you definitely should take advantage of the sun and go straddle that baby!" #
seattle's brief pockets of sunshine lately mean if you don't get outside when it's here, you're s.o.l. for another week as the rain returns. #
needing some dark progressive music to get me through the morning sans coffee. #
@kerusdotorg have you tried @seesmic desktop? used it a few times, but seems comparable. i prefer tweetie b/c only interested in twitter in reply to kerusdotorg #
all of these idiots riding motorcycles in shorts and tank tops are f*n retarded! #
@hobronto i've done the same thing dancing in a gay club; weird how you suddenly become the focus of everyone's attention, ass and all. in reply to hobronto #
@jackmackenroth what about the french "R"? in reply to jackmackenroth #
you know it's pride week when the gays flood the gym, most of whom never attend otherwise. #pathetic #
the only reason americans pretend to like soccer now w/the world cup is b/c it's a major global event and can't stand to be left out. #
kicking off the morning w/a reboot after finder locks up, surely a sign of how today will progress. #
normally when i disable notifications, i no longer desire to receive them. f.u. facebook app! #
@seasnoboarder you're def one of the few. in reply to seasnoboarder #
awesome motorcycle ride w/@jdlathrop on the first 75 degree day since last september in seattle! #
@nmyra and esp mornings involving hot ducati riders! #
must end this no-coffee streak today, feeling insanely drained. #
adopting the title "professional debugger", though i do make this look good. real good. #
glad i've decided to wait before buying iphone4, until they fix this at least: http://bit.ly/9whvhl #
@friskygeek it's surprising, and pathetic, to see how many live simply for the sake of which new gadget to buy; meaningless lives… in reply to friskygeek #
TED Blog: Phillip Zimbardo on the powers of time: The animation: http://bit.ly/aLbina #
lightning strikes three of chicago's tallest buildings at the same time during wednesday's storms [video]: http://vimeo.com/12816548 #
if ppl call you a jerk or asshole in response to your brutal honesty, aren't they being hypocrites themselves? my sources say yes. #
@SoccerT have fun! in reply to SoccerT #
OH: "ppl are to blame for this dwindling society and their lack of having pride in their own work." [agreed] #
truth has almost nothing to do with knowledge and everything to do with simple awareness of what is so real and essential. #
going tribal: http://friskyradio.com/ #
wishing ppl would stop using the word "vuvuzela". really. #
OH: "dude, i practically want to have sex with this paper! so beautiful!" #
@hwlee @soccert hope you're enjoying the severe storms for me! #
when you touch me, not with your hands but with your soul, is how I will know I have found you… #
@pdouglasweather too bad i'm not there in msp yet to enjoy the severe weather! in reply to pdouglasweather #
out on the bikes w/@jdlathrop cruising the city. awesome weather! #
@jdlathrop at least i'm not wearing my cruisers. this time. #
proven fact: only a developer should be allowed to manage a development project. #
it's sad, and a sign, that you're being so loud that the old lady across the room has to turn down her hearing aid. #
OH: i'm not wearing "hoochie", i'm wearing "g-hoochie", with a "g". #
now i'm reminded why i avoid pride events. #

OH: "even spaghetti is straight until it gets hot and wet." #
another great day, so on the motorcycle again and heading out to the olympic peninsula, then hanging w/@jlarsen76 and @jdlathrop. #
OH: "drug-induced happiness is nice!" #
fuck this damn constant drilling downstairs! again! #
@jlarsen76 i should! it's actually peaceful there… in reply to jlarsen76 #
haha! black birds must have a nest in tree outside as they attack everyone who walks by; ppl's freakout reactions provide much entertainment #
@roachmj not sure anymore at this point; luckily there isn't BP-related branding anywhere. in reply to roachmj #
are you living? #
in the world of my mind, there's nothing i wouldn't do. #
so, seattle gets one awesome day for every 21. that's pretty good right? #
@seasnoboarder not sure if "like" is necessarily the right word lol. in reply to seasnoboarder #
pissy black birds need to meet pissy owl. #
giddy up! #
@jlarsen76 nah don't have one, just avoiding everyone elses. in reply to jlarsen76 #
@nmyra sometimes that's not always a good thing. #
access at rear. ha! http://yfrog.com/iz4obj #
@chad_wilson haha, not sure, but i can think of better ways to graphically depict such a phrase. in reply to chad_wilson #
my technolust is def waning in favor of *real* life experiences; case in point, don't really care too much about iphone4 or the rush for it. #
@jlarsen76 i obviously care about them, well, because i develop them. #
@jlarsen76 …and we already know the five-day for seattle will be: much of the same, clouds, rain and non-summer temps. #ugh in reply to jlarsen76 #
running away is looking like a better option at this point. #
@jdlathrop i'd rather face them when i'm mentally capable of facing them; now is def not the time… in reply to jdlathrop #
the appealing thing about running away is you don't have to answer to no one; it's just you, and only you, in the moment. #
@jdlathrop not a pitty party lol, just an escape, a complete reboot. in reply to jdlathrop #
@notmarcocollins he's not looking into the corner enough! lol #
"if you love someone, set them free; if they come home, set them on fire." – george carlin #
first cup of coffee all week. proceeding with extreme caution. #
[a little] sunshine = motorcycle day! #
@jlarsen76 i feel sick now, or rather short of breath again. guess will have switch to decaf for a while. in reply to jlarsen76 #
awesome! http://vimeo.com/12663468 #
@jdlathrop too late. in reply to jdlathrop #

sick of hearing about how good html5 is; based on performance, beyond basic video inclusion html5 can't keep up with flash, not even close. #

"constant multitasking is associated with shallower thinking, weakened concentration, reduced creativity, and heightened stress." #
there is too much data and not enough contemplation; having to be plugged in/online 24/7 you miss out on the reality of living in the moment #
ppl's gadget dependency and need for approval through texts, tweets, email, etc have "damaged [our] ability to engage with [others]." #
for the sake of my sanity, i have to get out of this damn apt today in favor of quality outdoor (and non-computer) time! #
beginning to believe that seattle can't even have 12 hours of continuous sunshine anymore. #fml #
so it's raining again. go figure. #

there's no time for boring ppl in my life anymore, hence my gradual disassociation w/them. #

overcoming stress and anxiety is becoming considerably more difficult lately, hence the anxiety attacks; may need to break from coffee #
@nmyra shouldn't you be at the shooting range instead? in reply to nmyra #
beer + sunshine. perhaps summer is attempting to arrive in seattle finally? #
heading to mt. rainier w/@jdlathrop for this awesome day. hiking + photography! #
how do we always end up sitting next to large groups of drunken women while trying to enjoy beer + sun outdoors? #
good trip down to mt rainier, but feels even better getting out on the motorcycle after seeing everyone else on theirs earlier! #
if the way you talk makes you sound ignorant, maybe you shouldn't say anything to begin with. #
equating the sound from all the drunken women's laughs nearby to that of a swarm of crickets. that never stop. #
@dp4 are they hot at least? in reply to dp4 #

sūp:urbia – dubiety

By {ns} | May 31, 2010

just squeezed this mix in before the start of the new month. with the new job, the upcoming move this summer, and all of the doubt and uncertainty that comes with the future, while at the same time trying to wrap up ongoing things, life and my sanity have been all over the place–back and forth. that, combined with the lack of spring/early summer weather here in seattle this month has simply amplified that chaotic and bipolar feeling, which gave way to the title of this mix and the overall sound the tracks combine to create.

enjoy the tracks.

is it bad that a mere one week after owning a motorcycle, i already want to take it out on the race track and get some real speed in? #
