02:43 pm - Le Meu Ascends Into Heaven
I know it’s been weeks. Kill me.

I got a desperate call from Sequoia two days ago, “Brian, I need you to provide my life with meaning!” Oh wait, that’s just what I heard. I think what he really said was, “WTF? It’s been two months since you wrote anything on your blog, what gives?” Well actually, it’s been less than one month, but knowing Sequoia’s opinion of my blog, I know what he means is that it’s been two months since I’ve written anything that appeals to him...

06:06 pm - A Hell of a Night
Victoria and Bekah were in the Conejo Players Theatre children’s production of Charlottes’ Web. The auditioned two months ago and landed spots in the ensemble cast, you know the people who aren’t actually barn yard animals. Over the last two months they’ve been going to several rehearsals a week and singing bits of songs as we hang out...

03:23 pm - What I’ve been up to the last month
Okay, so like I’ve been totally enthralled with all types of stuff PLUS I’m been super busy at work. All of that equals NO BLOG. I know it’s been a while when I get nasty messages from you all like:

“So, I give up. Would you do me a huge favor and just e-mail me when you finally write something in your blog? I should be able to subscribe or something[more...]

11:29 am - 8am with Doughnuts
So I arrived at work this morning at 8am with a dozen doughnuts for everybody.

Let’s discuss that sentence. I haven’t gotten to work at 8am in about a year. I roll in at like 9ish. And by ish I generally mean like 9:10 and lately 9:15ish. Way back when I started working here I was supposed to get here at 8am. My boss Heather generally rolled in about 8:45...

01:24 pm - Top Ten Favorite Character (Ugly) Actors
Damn, Chris Penn. Sorry to have that guy go. I was thinking about him last night. Not about him per se, but about his breed of actor. People call these guys “character actors,” which if you think about it is really stupid because all actors are technically “character actors” unless you play yourself in every movie you’ve ever been in (Okay…Pauly Shore’s got something there.)...

04:50 pm - The fruit of our labor.
WE DID IT!

We routed through all the double entendres, puns and word play but I think we finally got a good decent workable joke out of the whole West Virginia mine tragedy and Michel Jackson thing.

Ugh, so I haven’t written in my blog here for almost three weeks now and I wanted to gets something down for those of you ready to hang your selves. Okay, so none of you.

Anyways, I’ve been in the midst of Christmas glee (been planning on writing a diatribe about that) new relationship fuzzies...

05:43 pm - My Birthday Week
So on a whim I decided I wanted a 17” Macintosh Power Book last night as I was scoping them out with Sequoia on the web. See here’s the deal, Blackbird Music as a label just got cleared to start listing our entire music catalog on iTunes. Literally within weeks, you will be able to start purchasing Franklin for Short, Le Meu Le Purr and Missing 23rd...

02:16 pm - I've been found!
So my little brother Bradley added me on MySpace today. I don’t know how I feel about that. He’s 19 and we’ve never been like particularly close. I mean I love him sure, but I was so much older than him that we never like bonded as brothers and hung out...

When someone tells me that they have faith in their God and live in his name, I have absolutely no objection to them holding that personal faith...

04:28 pm - Happy December!
So, it’s fucking December. Grab every new born baby you can find and give it a kiss (and a million dollar trust fund if its not too much to ask) because it’s a Sagittarius, providers of joy and chaos to the world, bringers of leadership and destruction, pragmatism and smut, sarcasm, wit and blunt comments about how fat your ass is getting...

07:26 pm - Get in the Zone! AutoZone!
Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you: my brain. Look at it bubble and hiss. Watch it as it oozes burned up cells out the sides, is that sparks and smoke? Yes indeed! All the refuse of the precious gray matter spent on this enormous task in front of me at work. It’s so mind bending in scope that I cannot even speak its proper name lest my brain completely deflate and start to reek of burnt rubber...

06:38 pm - My Thanksgiving Goose
I often preach to people that we should do as we please and indulge ourselves our wants and desires because if we continually deny ourselves those things, we grow to resent life and despair the time we spend here on earth. Following that logic, I think I should lay my head down on my keyboard and sleep for about six hours...

03:02 pm - Over the Hill
So in less than a month I turn 29. I’m not one to needlessly count the years as they tick away. I accept that aging is a fact of existence and nothing lasts forever but what’s the most surreal thing for me is that honestly, when I was younger, I envisioned 29 being so old...

Did you know that Mahatma Gandhi walked barefoot most of the time, which produced an impressive set of calluses on his feet? He also ate very little, which made him rather frail and with his odd diet, he suffered from bad breath. This made him a...

Okay…so I’m an idiot. I went all in last night on a bluff on the first hand of poker. Who the fuck calls that? I’ll tell you who. Someone with a good hand. I sat down to play. Four minutes later I was fucking out of the game. Just like that. Shit. I pulled another $25 bucks out of my pocket, and bought in again. I played for another hour and a half...

03:23 pm - The Blackbird Hat Trick
Dearest Readers of brianparra.com,

It’s been a great time, it really has. I’ve enjoyed every minute of it. It is with great sadness that I must announce that I have done something that I fear will alienate most of you. Now don’t get me wrong, it’d be awesome if you guys would just keep on reading, because lord knows that without your regular validation I might curl up into a ball and rock myself constantly...

02:06 pm - The very first sip of Jack Daniels
Does anyone remember Scategories? What a fun fucking game! Friday night Jessica invited me over to Sticky’s house and we all sat around and played that and I was pulling words out my ass like helador (the Mexican guys who sells ice cream in the park) Harry Henderson (the actor who played the judge from Night Court, worth 2 points) and harmonium...

Okay, so I’m here. Sorry it’s been over a week since I’ve written but honestly it’s been a little hectic over here. Not hectic in the sense that like everything is so busy that I can’t manage the time to sit down and spend a few minutes with you, my loyal reader, but hectic in the sense that I’ve just had such a full plate lately I don’t even...

06:26 pm - Everything I need to know about lye I learned from Fight Club.
I added myself to a “club” of sorts called the “Shitty Blogs Club”

Mostly because if it’s one more link out there funneling people to this site, then awesome, but also because I’m down with being humble enough to accept that I write a very shitty blog so I’m joining the ranks as it were. Apparently these guys put out a weekly podcast...
