I haven’t traveled in 4 weeks which seems like forever. today I’m booking flights to Detroit, Baltimore and Philly in Feb. so I’m pumped about that. I’ve never been to Charm City before. I’d like to make a stop into Ace of Cakes.
Part two: Ace of Cakes is one of the best shows on TV. seriously. these people are all stoned out of their minds. they look at their watch...

self service?
today my company switched from having to enter a “timesheet” to entering “self service time” for no apparent reason. I’m still trying to figure out if they want me to enter time spent with ice cream, gasoline or masturbation. I guess I’ll just add up all three…

I'm going to the dentist!!!
for most people the dentist sucks, but I was able to find the email I wrote to explain why I am so excited.
I wouldn’t normally tell anyone about going to the dentist, but I started going to this place called dental TLC. It is the greatest dentist in the world. The place is run by this old hippie dude that sounds like Tommy Chong. It all revolves around sedation dentristry, so they hook...

Question
matt-t:
In the era of ‘feelings’ and ‘meaningfulcore’ bands and everyone having a personal blog, twitter, facebook, etc, is it possible to be too self aware?
is it self awareness of lack thereof?

religion as recently described to me
God is only important for an hour on Sundays. the rest of the week you can do whatever you want. when you die you go to purgatory. in purgatory you just hang out. at first it’s just you, but eventually your friends and family begin to show up to, you know, just hang out. that’s pretty much it, hanging out and maybe some fishing too. once you get tired of hanging out you tell God that...

the world would be boring without pain and sorrow
someone told me that all the music I posted was sad. that’s probably true, but that’s because pain and sorrow create great creativity and art. other peoples pain makes us laugh. pain makes us cry. it makes us do things that we normally wouldn’t do.
what would the world be like if everyone was happy and content? boring right?

today has been a good day
I sold my old tv and my internet works again. (but mainly because I took the afternoon off, which I need to do more often on sunny days)

there is even an awesome formula for it -
([W+(D-d)] x T^Q)/M x N
where weather=W, debt=d, time since Christmas=T, time since failing our new year’s resolutions=Q, low motivational levels=M and the feeling of a need to take action=Na.

I'm wet
so, when the weather report says 0% chance of rain at 10am, what it really means is it’s going to rain for sure.
this I discovered while on a bike with my phone mounted to the handlebars and no pockets to protect it.
thanks weather jerks.

I just googled "how to be funny"
surprisingly it did not tell me to fart and then scoop it into someones face.
oddly, if you just type “how to be” google suggests anorexic as the next word, as if that’s something someone aspires to be.

You know you are from Michigan when..
awhfuckbrooke:
1. You’ve never met any celebrities. 2. “Vacation” means going to Cedar Point. 3. At least 1 member of your family disowns you the week of the Michigan/Michigan State game. 4. Half the change in your pocket is Canadian 5. You drive 86 mph on the highway and pass on the right. 6. Your idea of a traffic jam is 40 cars waiting to pass an orange barrel. 7. You know how to play (and...

Pandora gift stations are the new mix tape
I recently discovered that you can “gift” custom radio stations to friends. being an amatuer mix tape enthusiast this was really exciting to me. it’s like creating a mix tape where you don’t know what the songs are going to be but you can set the mood with the artists. I just gifted a station based on Au Revoir Simone, Of Montreal, Deerhunter, Sufjan Stevens and Wye Oak -...
