Why didn't anyone tell me The Office is shit? Like, in not being funny, and instead being shitty? I watched this show for three and a half seasons, and I pretty much enjoyed it all. Maybe it's because I was watching a rerun on TBS and TBS guts the fuck out of the shows they buy so they can wedge another commercial break in there. But maybe the ( Read more... )

I didn't realize it at the time, but midnight last night I welcomed my 24th birthday while watching Batman and the Joker go Godzilla all over Gotham City. Now, I've gotten lost in my exuberance in the past and whimsically bestowed the title of BEST MOVIE EVER on films like the first two Star Wars prequels, every single Lord of the Rings film, and ( Read more... )

I'm terrible at convincing myself that what I do and what I care about is important. Now, this is an essential part of life, and maybe the #2 reason for being religious (afterlife hope gets the #1 spot). It'd be easy for me if my interests were politics or medical research, but they're stupid shit like movies and comedy. That stuff works for ( Read more... )

Excitement isn't good enough a word for this feeling. F'rinstance, I could say, "I'm excited about my new toy!" and you might think, hey, an exclamation point; that's a pretty excited guy. But you would know nothing. The best way - the only way - to describe how I've felt the past two days is IRRATIONAL EXHUBERANCE (always a good go-to term to ( Read more... )

It's an odd feeling to be impressed with the cinematic flow of a herpes pill commercial.

(if you're the guy who makes the commercial... do you feel proud? put it on your resumé? show your friends?)

I credit the Internet with teaching me that, when it really comes down to it, I do not want to be famous. With the webs as connected as they are now, more internetted than ever, there's this micro-struggle of the desire for anonymous privacy and the yearning for worldwide fame. Both extremes are possible, and the proverbial "one click" is all it ( Read more... )

Today is day one of quitting smoking. Well, this time, one of many attempts. Desiré and I have tried before, but I guess our hearts weren't in it enough. And this time? It's different.

(but do you want to hear a secret? it's not different. because my heart's still not in it. ha ha ha ( Read more... )

My idle thoughts have been taken hostage for the past few months by this whole Obama thing. Jesus, has it been months? It's been months. This is fucking retarded. Idle thoughts used to be funThe long and short of it is I'm voting for Obama, I'm campaigning for Obama, I like Obama, I want him to be president. Aaaaand my entire family is ( Read more... )

I never can tell at what point I can see someone I used to know and just let it slide without having to say hello. If I can still remember them, am I obligated to remind them who I am? Am I clear if they don't remember me? Maybe it's that simple, but in my head there's some magic algorithm that judges how well you knew each other and how long it ( Read more... )

I've gotten it into my head recently that if I want to do anything at all, I've got to get organizized. To me, doing life improvement is like alchemy. I'm not really sure what components go into it or what process they go through to become success. Like, should my room be clean? I'm happier when my surroundings are clean, but will that ( Read more... )
