Not So Random Start: Manchester Orchestra, "Simple...

This is fantastic.
I can’t wait to hear the rest of this record
Been listening to it all day. I basically went from being baby-faced this morning and now to having a full-on beard like their singer Andy Hull. It’s the Michael J Foxx effect from in Teen Wolf.
Andy Hull looks like my friend from high school who had a long-ass beard when he was 15. It looked so bad...

2010 Best Movies
I didn’t think that this was a great year for movies. I was disappointed with a lot of them, even with the ones I have in my top 10. 2007 was the strongest year for movies in the last decade.
I just want to get it out on record what my favorites were.
Haven’t Seen Yet All Good Things; Another Year; Carlos; Client 9: Rise and Fall of Eliot Spitzer; Company Men; Dogtooth; Flipped; Four Lions; Get...

holy shit, greatest tumblr. CATS THAT LOOK LIKE... →
If you watch the show Parks and Recreation, have a cat fetish, or unfortunately know somebody who definitely does, then this is a blog to follow. Dumb ass blogs like this are the reason why I love the internet so much.
“In the NFL, I was ostracized from Day One — not by my teammates but by my...”
– That’s from Deadspin’s interview with former NFL player Dave Duerson, conducted three months before Duerson shot himself to death and asked that his brain be used for concussion research. Buddy Ryan was the defensive coordinator for the Bears during their 1985 title run. Here were some of Ryan’s...

A (Nearly) Exhaustive Video Compilation Of Blake Griffin Dunks (via @deadspin)
aka Three-and-a-half minutes of awesomeness.
Can’t wait for the Dunk Contest. I would have looked forward to it 2010’s Dunk Contest, but LeBron had to be a douche and drop out (after interrupting the 2009 Dunk Contest midway through to announce that would be in it). I hate Dwight...

I have until March 6th to find a job in Boston. If I don’t, I have to move back in with my parents in the suburbs of Worcester. The greatest thing in the world would be if someone gave me a check for a million dollars to blog so I could continue the lifestyle I’ve had for the last 9+ months since I graduated.
WORTHWHILE TWEETS: Pauly Peligroso: I bet hipsters get athlete’s foot just to be ironic.

the Job Search Continues
My roommate’s Facebook About Me reads “I do it for the story” basically as an excuse for him being an alcoholic. While I try to stay away from self-destructive behavior, I will steal his lifestyle motto in my search for a job since my expectations for what I want in a job have been shot to shit and I am about 2 weeks away from applying to Stop&Shop (served 5+ years including...

^there’s a 3rd movie to the Big Momma series how?! Is Hollywood really ripping off the success of Tyler Perry & targeting black audiences 5 years after nobody really cared about the Big Momma moves in the first place? Of course. This is Hollywood. If only something topped It’s Pat for a cult group of white people in the 1990s…Wil Anderson: I hope there is a scene in I Am...

2561 3-Pointers & 3-Ways: Jesus Shuttlesworth...
I can’t find the exact quote, but Bill Simmons joked a couple years back that after every 3-pointer Ray Allen makes during a Celtics home game, the video screen should just cut to the 3-way scene in He Got Game with Ray Allen smiling from the photo above. If this were baseketball, this would have happened.
I’d be more excited about Ray Allen breaking the 3P record if it meant that...

IT'S GAME DAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!
This is what I looked like when I woke up this morning…
Complete with morning wood and all, however terrifying that is.
So I drove from my parents’ place in the dumps of Worcester back to good ol’ South Boston (45 minutes) Here’s what my mom made for my brother Chuck and I on this fine Super Bowl Sunday… -Brownies -Cookies -Shepherd’s Pie -Chicken Soup...

Snow & the clean-up
^This is what I look like when waving to my dad from a 2nd floor window of my parents’ home with a cup of hot chocolate in my hand while my dad is shoveling. Naturally, my dad gives me the finger and starts yelling curse words at me and calling me a ‘lazy asshole’. -So 2 feet of snow in 2 days—it’s snowing every 3-5 days for the last month about a foot it seems like; can’t...

Ryan Gosling in BLUE VALENTINE
Saw Blue Valentine a couple of days ago
The trailer or even a Google search of ‘Blue Valentine’ prepares you for what Ryan Gosling looks like for most of the film. The film goes from the past where he first meets Michelle Williams to the present where everything is broken.
But Gosling goes from looking like dashing to balding, alcoholic, wearing aviator sunglasses, and sporting a...
