Why I Love My Roomates →
Why I Love My Roomates from Will Hutson on Vimeo. The setting: Last Saturday we had about 10 buddies over to watch the Tennessee game. We cooked a massive breakfast and proceeded to drink large quantities of adult beverages. The backstory: Tennessee had to win this game in order to play for the SEC Championship. After 4 overtimes they won. Here’s what happened when they won. It’s...

LA in the rain is such a magical experience mostly...
WatchI love my roomates and college football so this clip is pretty awesome all around for me. Just do me (and yourself) a huge favor and watch the whole thing.
Jonathan Left Too?
Didn’t know Jonathan left as well?! Vimeo is by far my favorite video sharing site and I’m posting this stuff more out of a genuine interest rather than gossip.
Regarding Jakob’s announcement, I am very shocked and shaken up, but I do want to say that while the loss of Jakob and Jonathan is huge, the good news is that all of us at Vimeo share their vision and passion and will...
Tim Ferriss Has Single Handedly Saved My Life →
I’ve hesitated sending out this link because I’ve got a creeping feeling that Tim’s work is polarizing.
That said, his book “The 4 Hour Work Week” was the start of an amazing personal deconstruction and professional catharsis.
His blog is a great feed for info and perspective - that said.
Everything in moderation. At one point this summer was researching his...

I guess conservatives have the most insane best names?

Women in the Spring
I remember the first day of spring during college.
How could I NOT.
It was as if girls had been secretly working out for months just to unveil how delicious they looked in their new spring dresses.
It was awesome. A feast for the eyes - but not in a sick sorta way, more like a, “dear God I could hump her and not be upset about making a baby … because a baby with her could do no...
Watchso this reaction is WAY better than my roomates with one exception. at the start my roomate shouts “oh sweet - porn.” grandma here does not.

PWK just posted a link - this is nuts.

Clinton Campaign HQ Being Held Hostage
This is nuts, just saw this story on cable news.
I’ll see if I can find a link - he claims to have a bomb and is asking to speak to clinton herself.
Album Downloaded
Music fix achieved.
“Grey in LA” is currently playing … and it couldn’t be more relevant.
Rainy Day in LA
Reminds me of a Loudon Wainwright song.
I think I’ll go download it. Oh internet.
WatchPlease folks - let’s end this friggin strike already. They’re right after all.
Watchit’s a homerun of a short. good for them.
Ugh ....
I can’t get no sleep. the iron & wine concert was AMAZING.
must focus, big day tomorrow.
:)
At the Iron and Wine Show
At the newly renovated Orpheum. Great venue - very impressed with the restoration. Here’s hoping for a fantastic show.
Rescued Whale Most Likely Named Mr. Splashy Pants →
I did my part and voted for him to be named Mr. Splashy Pants.
Your turn.
Watchthe onion is filling such a crucial void in the web with their content.
think snl meets late night tv meets the daily show.
all three of those types of outlets should be exceeding the onion on paper, but the onions content is straight up killing it.
RE: NYPress Article About Jakob, Julia et al
OK.
Disclaimer: I’m a sucker for romantic comedies and seeing the good guy get the girl.
With all that said: I am an official nobody and feel I have the ability, especially living on the west coast and having never met these people, to speak from an unbiased place.
Let’s say that they manipulated their connections and concocted a story and all the buzz that went along with it. ...
Getting Used to Famous People
Ok so I like entertainment a ton. Ever since I can recall I thought that celebrity was very novel. I am now (for the most part) over seeing famous people. Thankfully, LA is pretty chill to famous folks. I understand why a lot of them live here.
Today Was a Good Day
Developed the Outline for 3 new Characters.
Put one software program into 30 incubator.
Did my Pre-writing for my new column I’m writing.
Had a great first day of Sketch A - so great.
Set up some great meetings for later in the week.
Prognosis-
Get more done.
Spent way too much time in the car - nearly 3 hours.
Schedule my day a tad better, allow for downtime, gaps.
Get up...
Dear Tumblr,
Hey - what’s up.
God … I’ve missed you … so much.
I miss your interaction, I miss some of the awful and totally opposite viewpoints of peoples tumblogs I subscribe too.
They keep me grounded you know.
So listen - this next week’s a roughie, but guess what?
WE’re halfway there.
Like that? WE’re.
Together we can do anything.
So next week,...
Today in Class...
I did a long form improv via a poem.
It was about a dad taking a dump in a christmas tree lot while leaving his confused kids in the car.
Eating More Protein
I’m eating more protein - a ridiculous amount in fact.
Currently I’m at two shakes a day with 3 scoops of Designer Whey in each of them.
You do the math.
“My housemates dog smells. Bad.”
– Unfortunately me
So the Saying Goes...
Tomorrow is the first day of the rest of your life.
A few times in my life I’ve had nights I couldn’t sleep because of that feeling.
Last night I had that feeling and slept perfectly.
Perhaps I’m coming to grips with the rest of my life.
Cooking During the Winter & Holidays
I love to cook.
Cooking during the winter takes on a whole new shape because of our bodies naturally burning more (although probably not more than the balance we consume) calories during the season.
Holidays are also a great time to bring friends together and socialize over a meal and good conversation.
The timing has been perfect for me to get settled into our new home.
It’s location in...
Cold War Kids
Went to the Cold War Kids show last night.
This is the 2nd time (maybe 3rd festival perhaps) I’ve seen them play.
Their new stuff is awesome - and all in all they are greatly improved.
Nice work.
my lifestream is at fredwilson.vc →
Fred Wilson calls his Tumblog his “lifestream” a magical mashup of his twitter account/wordpress/tumblr posts.
He’s an influential guy do you think “lifestream” might stick??

If you want my thoughts on venture, tech, and occasionally music and politics and NYC, then this blog is for you. If you are looking for more variety, then check out...
Watching Football on the Weekend
On the West coast football starts early - like 9am early.
So instead of burgers and wings, a lot of times you’re cooking omlettes and drinking oj.
Either way - watching football on the weekend - in the winter - is probably one of the clearest most nostalgic memories I have from childhood all the way up to the present day.
Just wish they’d show some USF games a little more out...
“This is my website. If you don’t want to hire me for this transparency, maybe I...”

Via Peter’s original post
My take:
this could be the start of a great internet trend, people actually representing what they say and stand for, which in turn makes them actually think about what they, say, do, post online and hopefully - in their day to day lives...
My Theory on This Years Black Friday
I think that it will go down as one of the stupidest consumer binges of all time - but retailers will be chasing their tail to figure out what they did right.
Stores were so slammed and items selling out so fast at the stores I went to in California that even the staff were surprised.
I wonder how the market will react?
Fantastic Thanksgiving
I had a great Thanksgiving.
This has been a very relaxing few days.
Big week ahead - with a lot to accomplish.
Wish me luck.
