The Sports Guy: "Cult of Status Quo"
Here’s a great take on the “Cult of Status Quo” premise. Something I absolutely despise in every way. This is that, “I listened to this band before they were famous” and “I read this comic before it became a movie” holier-than-thou ego that makes me want to kick people in the shin. Let people like what they like and stop being so pretentious about it. You...

The Eventual Comic Con Recap
It’s coming. Lots to share and talk about. But I have to spend the rest of the week packing and preparing to move into my new place. If I had any ounce of energy today I would’ve posted some stuff, but I didn’t. Sorry.
A couple words to describe the week though: exhaustion, frustration, elation, money, crowds, celebrities, plush superheroes, pictures, videos.
That should tie...
I don't post pictures often
Because I think words are the most beautiful visual of all.
jasterisfett asked: How go the songs, sir?

Comic Con
Hey followers, get ready for some Comic Con spam over the next 4 days. Going to a LOT of different things. I’m stoked.
FML
I’ve decided that from now on whenever I read FML, I’m going to make it stand for “Find me love” or “Fondle my llama” it’s just more entertaining that way.

Reading to your kids
This following passage is from an awesome guy I met online. He goes by samthebutcher (follow him on twitter and follow his blog). We’ve talked many times about life and relationships and careers and we’ve basically come to the conclusion that I am him from 20 years ago or he is me 20 years from now. That is, we are both saps who’ve made mistakes, love the idea of family, love...

Inception: A Spoiler-Free Review
Let me preface this by saying that I am pretty critical. I am also a person who develops expectations and holds people to them. So, the movie Inception has some of my favourite actors (Leonardo Dicaprio, Joseph Gordin-Levitt, Cillian Murphy), my favourite Director (Christopher Nolan), and a concept that I find fascinating (Dreams, sub-conscious, etc)… so let’s just say the bar was set...

Three leaf clovers: Dating someone doesn't mean... →
Dating someone doesn’t mean you are them. You’re still you, and it doesn’t make you better and it doesn’t make you worse. Being with another person doesn’t change who you are, or it shouldn’t.
I mean, I hear it all the time: “They make me a better person.” So, they push you to get a better job so…
Couldn’t have said it better myself. I used to do this, I used to become the person...

Interesting
I post music, my deepest thoughts, links, quotes, videos, photos, etc. I talk about things that mean a hell of a lot more to me than most anything else in the world.
…Yet my post about beards and girls who don’t like them is most popular?
World, you amuse me.

Girls Who Don't Like Beards
I don’t understand them. The excuse I get is, “It hurts my skin!” Well maybe you get used to it. My beard is actually very soft after it goes through the sandpaper phase (the first 3 days). In fact, when my past girlfriends would ask me to shave, it actually ended up being worse for them. See, because I only stay clean shaven for about a day and then it grows back. And when it...

The Sports Guy on USA and Soccer →
From the greatest sports writer in the world comes this awesome piece on the World Cup and America’s reaction to it. I don’t know if I’ve just become a bigger sports fan in general (After all, I DO watch baseball and hockey now), but even I am beginning to really enjoy Soccer. He does one of his many quirky things and asks himself 20 questions about why Soccer is finally catching...
rhymeswithbean asked: I'm kind of going through a writer's block myself so I feel your former situation. It's strange for me, because I've never really had blocks before (consciously making a decision to try to write a little every day versus just writing when ideas come probably makes a difference) - but, I usually listen to new music too, or I read a new book, or I watch a film that's all...
jasterisfett asked: Yeah, I understand that. I don't know if this works for you but when I'm having a block I just drive around and listen to pandora for a bit and hearing the new music usually helps. I try to focus as much as I can on the lyrics and it really helps get me thinking.
uptomyhips asked: Of course go Spain! I was just thinking/hoping that it would be all Spanish speaking countries in the semis haha.

“A fart of bitter snipes always follow Apple tweets. Idea - love something you do...”
– Simon Pegg (http://twitter.com/simonpegg)
Thank you! I’m so sick of this mentality. Stop bitching about things just because YOU don’t like them. Preferences belong to individuals, let them have their own and stop trying to influence with negativity.

Where My Head Is
I’d say the last few weeks has been interesting, but none of you would know. I haven’t written much lately. I haven’t had much to say it seems. The last time I can really remember letting my emotions out in the form of writing was the open letter I wrote to my mom when she was in the hospital. Since then, I’ve been a bit quieter.
That’s not to say that my mind...
