Sorry for the delay
Hello readers (if you guys actually exist)
I know I haven’t posted in a while…I’ve just been extremely busy. Mandate is absolutely awesome and without a doubt the best internship I’ve had thus far. I’m having that great of a time working in LA that I snagged another internship! In a couple of weeks, I will officially be a Digital Marketing Intern for NBC/Universal....

Jorge: One of my homies was actually a Gerber baby. He got sponsored and shit...
Me: Is he now a thug?
Jorge: Hell yeah! He's a straight up G!

Work Sucks...I Know
I got yelled at by my boss at Pinkberry today…
I did a jank job of washing dishes, which still had the fruit label, and fruit remnants in them.
I did such a bad job that my boss brought the dishes to the front, called me while I was taking a customer’s order, and displayed my disgraceful work to the other employees.
I try not to show emotion when talking to my boss (as a way of...

4 Bdroom-4Bath Home - Ideal for Falculty/Students... →
I found this on my relentless search for an apartment.
I’m confused. How is a house specifically designed to meet the needs of only faculty, students, and foster families? I didn’t realize houses were designed specifically for foster families.
Weird.

The 20 Worst Album Covers of 2008 | Pitchfork →
While there are some I disagree with (most notably, Santogold and Deerhunter), the Brad Paisley and James Taylor album covers are pretty much spot on.

It’s unfortunate that some things have to end…
In the face of time
In the face of bonds
In the face of lies
After taking a month-long break, Ryan’s Mindless Ponderings is back!
For some reason, I feel that now is the right time to restart this blog. I can’t explain why, especially since the past month has been one adventurous shit show, but I feel I want to start writing again.
Keep reading for more ridic quotes/stories/ramblings!

“Imma show you how to shank a cholo..”
– Lorena to me at work.
I just bought Mad Men season 1 and Weeds season 3 at Target today. Better to buy them now while they’re on sale then buy them at ridiculous prices at the FYE in Chicago.
Damn, it feels good to spend some hard earned work money..
The Future of LAPD
Me: When you become a cop, are you going to bust me for drug possession?
Carlos (my manager): Not if you smoke me out...
Me: i'm kickin it with the cholos here in la
according to them, i can join their gang if they just beat the shit out of me for 30 seconds
Eric: i thought it was 13
for ms13
Me: i am dealing with la cholos here
i am close to sealing the deal
Eric: hmmm
they could come in use someday
and their numbers only grow
Me: hispanics seriously grow in numbers!
well literally..
since they aren't too savvy with birth control
Eric: and they like our jobs....
And continuing on the subject of Dave Grohl’s diss…
Jermaine Jackson would have totally stopped for a picture with me.
Without a fucking doubt.
Celeb sighting again…
Dave Grohl came to Pinkberry today. After I gave him his order, I asked if I could take a picture with him but he said no because he was with his 2-year old daughter. I sort of understand, but not really.
As I write this, I am simultaneously deleting Nirvana from my Itunes, but not Foo Fighters. I didn’t have any of that shitty music to begin with.
“Black Friday-the day where White people go crazy.”
– Me at work yesterday.
T Minus 9 Days
I could just feel the -20 degree windchill against my face…
I will be in Evanston very soon.
When I return, everyone can expect more Jena 3 adventures, more politically-incorrect non-sequiturs, more Flat Top and Joy Yees, more Hinman brunch, and of course, more hilarity and triumph.
Race Discourse with Anna Part II
Anna: Ya man
I had a black girl tell me Black people don't trust White people
Me: Hahaha hokay

“It’s like I’m “The Brady Bunch”, and you’re...”

Ka-reep-ee
Platonic friend ads on craigslist depress/creep me the fuck out. I probably should stop reading them.
Check out this ad where this person is asking the entire Los Angeles region (including nutcases, molesters, and junkies) to go with him or her to see Ashanti at the Grove tomorrow.
Or this ad where the person seeks someone to simply (and vaguely) “kill time” with them.
“So i...
“I’ve put $2 worth of gas in this car; I don’t want to clean it too.”
– A line from Mad Men that emphasizes the show’s era-specific plot.
Niteskool Thoughts
As sophomore year approaches, I will eventually have to start planning the logistics of the Niteskool music video.
I’ve been thinking alot about it, mainly the probable financial burden it will put Chris and me in.
Yet, I have also been caught under the looming pressure of churning out an amazing video, like the previous years’ were.
I’ve come to the belief that if...
“The last time I had bananas was Bangkok.”
– A customer saying what is probaby one of the best gramatically incorrect non sequiturs I have ever heard.
