Backflip, something I used for hyperlink saving, went out of business (as Tom and I predicted) recently – now it looks like it’s a privately held toy. I think it’s a good idea, but did not see any sort of revenue generation by it. Maybe someone like yahoo will pick it up.

I wrote most of this in the summer and forgot about it, this was the night of 07/22/02.
TRIPWIRE AND ECLIPSE PRESENT SUMMER OF LOVE FEATURING DEEP DISH WITH SPECIAL GUEST SHAREM TUYEBI AT THE SHOWBOX.
Flirting on the dance floor is hard, especially if you’re me and you like to respect people’s space. Somehow I did it tonight at the Showbox, kept it up for like an hour and a half with the girl in a powder blue shirt. What attracted me to this woman was that I think she may be the happiest person I’ve ever seen. This may have been due to drugs, but who knows for sure.
The music stops, I make a comment “the liquor laws here suck”, good one dumbass. She doesn’t seem to be paying much attention, I don’t know what to do... I bail, “good night” I say to her and turn toward the water cooler. When I reached the water cooler I turn around in time to see another guy shake hand with her and begin conversation.
Duh. Why didn’t I do that?
I leave slightly dejected. I’ve done something on my big no-no list: bailed on something I wanted to do because of fear. This item on my list has been super key in making me live my life, every time I fail this item, I feel that I am dis-improving, regressing to the me that did not pursue new experiences and living life to the fullest.
I begin to walk home, I notice the moon over the sound, it’s hanging low over west Seattle, about three quarter full, I walk to the waterfront near Pike Place market. The Moon’s reflection played off the ripples of the water. It’s beautiful. Everything’s okay. Missing an opportunity happens. Just don’t let it happen too much.

Watched Amile tonight, I really liked it. Original idea, well executed (I especially like the superb special effects that are subtle. It made me happy.
Later Tom, Manda and I went to the coffee grounds. While we were bullshiting, I was examining the table – well, more all the stuff scratched into the table. Much of what people wrote is what can be expected from college kids “JD hearts KL”, “Kyle and Mindy 4ever”, etc… one thing I noticed was one written in what looked like red china marker, it said “I Love” – Tom said that we’ll never know the whole message, and maybe that’s true, but I entertain the idea that “I Love” was the whole message. It’s a sentence in English, though the thought does not seem too cohesive – it certainly seems almost... obvious to me, but should it be? Is that a statement everyone can make at every point in time ever? I’d like to hope so.

Snips
While touring the northwest last week my sister and I watched Ghostbusters on TV. Who thought of Ghostbusters anyways? Who can come up with anything that original and funny?
my dad on episode II: attack of the clones:
"The lead guy had no soul - they should have picked a black guy... like Chris Rock. I love that guy."
I just caught a look at myself in the bathroom. I haven’t shaved in 3 or 4 days and it really shows. Damn I look old... like an adult. I tried to get a picture that really captures this but I couldn’t. Maybe it’s something only you can perceive in person. I will be 22 in less than two months. I feel prepared to handle the responsibilities of a 15 year old high school student.
