Easy like Sunday morning
I am an easy going friend. If you’re my friend, as long as you’re happy, I’m happy. Easy as that. But there a few things that I do expect. Actually no, there are really only two things I expect, namely:
1) Courtesy
2) Good intentions
Even 1) is a little loose as “mostly courteous” is enough — I mean, I understand that we’ll have different points of view on what it means to be courteous. That’s cool. But when it comes to 2) and you do things with malice and hurtful intentions, with the purpose of actually causing harm….man, that shit just don’t fly. I do not put up with people who intentionally try to cause me pain. I’m just too classy for that. There are way too many people lined up to be my friend for me to put with even a little bit of that.
So if you can’t deliver these two things then, please, just go away.
Sina’s Stanley Cup Picks 2010
Remember how I don’t watch hockey anymore? Yeah, well that’s not stopping me from making my picks.
In the east: Washington
In the west: San Jose (again again!)
I know it looks like I just pick the top seeded teams, but I really don’t.
Eventually we are all dead
Society Steady State (Proposition):
Any society will eventually converge towards all of the following:
1) Freedom
2) Liberty
3) Universal Democracy
Corollary:
1) Free markets will prevail.
2) Common sense will prevail.
For that reason, I’m not so worried about the crazy Quebec government or the crazy commenters on this article, because, eventually, the government will be unable to impose itself on a person’s basic indiviual right to wear what he/she desires when it poses no individual or public danger whatsoever. Still, it’s sad to see in the meantime.
Not too late
A few weeks ago I saw Alicia Keys in concert, and two nights ago I saw wonderful amazing lovely Norah Jones.
Which means in a matter of weeks I’ve taken care of half of the concerts on my must-see list. The list, in no particular order…
The Roots
Lauryn Hill
John Legend
Alicia Keys
Norah Jones
Let’s just assume I won’t ever see Lauryn Hill perform. With that, a quick trip to New York City would allow me to have 80% of my list complete. I think that’s pretty good.
And who knows, maybe Lauryn is just going through a phase and will come around.
UPDATE: The Roots are playing at this year’s Toronto Jazz Festival!
Best. Shirt. Ever.
Gratis versus Libre
Yesterday I added a tshirt page to this site, thus ending many years of guarded secrecy.
Why, you ask, after so many years?
Well, as a champion of open information, open content, open access, openness in general, free culture and all other things free (I use open here interchangeably with free — free as in freedom), it just seemed like the right and inevitable thing to do. Yes, maybe this puts my unique tshirt style at risk, and that sucks, but hey we’re talking about freedom here, right?
Besides there are so many great tshirts out there these days. It’s not like back in the day where I had to search endlessly, endlessly, for just one find, which would then show up on a crappy Gildan tee anyway. Plus, a few sites make excellent quality prints (see Tilteed) and deserve exposure for it.
In time
Often I wonder
Just how it will all work out.
It is never clear.
I heart Alicia Keys
I’m seeing Alicia Keys in concert tomorrow…err, today, and so as is the custom, I’m listening to her songs and watching videos of her.
I love love love her laugh at 4:33 as she says “I love sweet potatoes” — sooo contagious <3
Which brings me to my next point. I think I might be in love with Alicia Keys. Like, for real though.
A note to those of you who haven’t heard of iheartradio: Welcome. We call this planet “Earth”
My friend George
My oldest and dearest friend George popped the question on Saturday.
And she said yes.
Crazy.
