Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen, Garrett here. I guess you could call this my Blogger birthday. Before I bore you with my happenings, let me explain a few things first.

My blog's name comes from Frank Lloyd Wright's description of his Price Tower. One of his two vertical oriented designs.


I found it fitting because as I see it, today's world is severely lacking in unique creativity and genuine individuality and I would like to think that I strive to be someone who rises above.

My blogs will be titled after each word chronologically in my version of Webster's dictionary.

So I bought my first comic in quite a while yesterday.


It was a nice story focusing on the Joker's origin and it addressed issues of morality and sanity. It is a reissue from the 1988 original and it features new coloring that fits its darker mood more appropriately. Apparently it has been one of the most influential Batman comics in recent history and Heath Ledger was given a copy of it as a reference to playing the Joker in the upcoming movie. I suggest looking for it on Ebay if your into that kinda thing.

I also picked up a copy of The Waste Land and other T.S. Eliot poems. So far I don't know if I am going to get much out of it but I'm not giving up yet.

Anyone else remember those days when we would claim that Blink 182 were sell outs and not true punks? That was silly and I always find myself singing Blink 182 songs. You have to admit they sure did know how to write a catchy song and no band of their genre has yet to repeat their energy. And most likely all those bands were started after learning the intro to Dammit on guitar or wondering in amazement how Travis Barker could make a 4/4 beat seem so fresh.
