i have like eleventy national geographics that i need to read and take pictures out of( i use them for art/craft stuff(cards and collages)) so i can throw them out.  i used to get: spin, blender, revolver, and alternative press.

I have never even considered subscribing to a magazine (internet ftw)

Totally. I used to subscribe to New York soon after David Edelstein started writing for them, but after a while I realized I can just read his articles online and dropped it. I don't think I've ever made it through an entire magazine, ever, so it would be ridiculous for me to have a subscription. I used to pick up copies of Mojo and other music magazines and have some of those copies stashed somewhere, but who has time between television and online porn for that shit anymore?

I've had subscriptions for that one before, usually as gifts, and never read the issues, but yeah, they are good for crafty stuff.

Oh man, I have this amazing mojo with the best drug songs of all time.  The bonus cd that came with is so good.

I also have a Smiths and Lou Reed mojo.  For like 5 years there was a picture of Dylan standing outside a place in England that used the acronym LSD that I cut out of the drug song mojo.  (on my wall, I forgot to say on my wall)

That is a good magazine is what I am saying.

Here is a good track from the bonus drug disc ("Feed Your Head"): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=30xBn2OkXyk

Dude, I have the drugs one too. The CD looks like a pill, right? It's around here somewhere. And I think I have the Smiths issue. I may have to dig those out tonight.

[KeithHernandez]

That's the one.

The only magazine I ever subscribed to was Men's Health. It taught me one invaluable tip: when removing your ##### in front of a lady make sure to hook your thumbs through your socks. That way your socks come off with your #####. Because a man who is naked except for socks is not sexy.

I had read this somewhere, and mentioned it, and my girlfriend always yells WATCH OUT! and points to my socks if I am in danger of making that mistake.

My most recent lady friend decided this was a really excellent idea and that it should be taught to all men. Probably at the same time you learn to shave.

I met with my friend tonight, and told him when reading his blog I did briefly get angry at him.  Socks and undies are consumables - just like shampoo and such, I think these things should not count toward his 100 things.  This is not to say I think he should have any one more item than he wants to, but I honestly wear out a pair of socks or two just a quickly as I got through a bottle of shampoo.

In regard to my friend, about two and a half years ago, his marriage ended, and I told him something along the lines: "I love being partnered off, but I envy you, because as painful as it is right now, you will reach a point where you're through the pain, and you will be so entirely free and open to possibility."  Do any of you know that point, after a break up, when you've finally healed and your suddenly able to see that you can basically do anything?  That's such a joyful feeling to come to, especially when hard won.  He's there right now.  I'm proud of him for making it to there.  And look at how he's taken that freedom and manifested it.  It's poetic.

I've come to a point where I have too much stuff.  Having not been a particularly stable person in the past, I moved around a lot, and with each move came a natural purge.  Now, having been in the same place for almost five years I have accumulated too much.  Being both creative and resourceful, I can easily imagine how to repurpose most things.  So the basement is full, and I'm itchy to clear it out. To put things to use, to give things away, throw things away...  I'm not much for extremes anymore, so I'm not going to boil it down to 100 things, but I'm going to draw major inspiration from his challenge.  There are things I value because of their supreme functionality, but then there are things that I value because of their sentimentality.  When it comes to the latter, the memories and meaning are mine regardless of the material items I attach them to.  So what's with all the crap in my basement?  Further examination is required.

For some reason, I keep New Yorkers.  I don't keep any other magazines.  That's pretty stupid, isn't it?

See, this is the last magazine I feel like I need to keep, because there willl always be another one in a week.

I really should do something about the Pug Talk, though.

Well you can either do something now, or wait until your home contains only your pugs and back issues of pug talk, with you living outside in a tent on a wifi connection. DONT LET THIS BE YOUR FUTURE!

That is adorable.

Don't forget the collection of stuffed pugs.

Taxidermied pugs?
