Sooner or later you get used

While Watching a Pizza Hut Commercial
Guy: "I can't believe I'm here with my fantasy football pick, Reggie Bush!"
Reggie Bush: "I can't believe this Pizza Hut pizza is just ten dollars!"
Me: "I can't believe someone drafted Reggie Bush in fantasy."
I’m glad Spotify is around, (and still currently without all the restrictions), because I woke up with Absentee’s “You Try Sober” in my head, from 2006’s Schmotime, and I haven’t had that album since I left Florida almost two years ago. Great record if you’ve never heard it.
“it’s really a song about all the dreams and all the things that make you want to...”
– Adam Duritz on what exactly The Counting Crows song Mr. Jones is about (via thestuffhole)

Um, I’m pretty sure it’s about his penis.

When you're dressing up like a slutty zombie this...
and that’s Jesus came back from the dead again as zombie Jesus to bring leftover Easter candy to all the poor children whose favorite team didn’t win the World Series.
It’s a fact. It’s in the Bible.

My night is colored headache gray”

It’s a kid getting the shit beat out of him in a classroom because he was gay.
Let’s hear some more “It’s just kids being kids.”
And when another kid brings a gun to school and starts shooting people, think about this video and how not only is this kid getting the shit beat out of him in a classroom, but that another kid is filming it and all of the other kids are...
Also starting to realize I follow too many people...
“Giggle giggle. I like boys. Hee hee.”
And they’re mostly adults.
I suppose I might have jinxed the Rangers with my...
And if I did, I’d just like to say:
Good, fuckers, that’s what you get for not paying for pitching back when I was a fan!
I'm not a Rangers fan
but I grew up a Rangers fan. Tulsa used to be their AA team, so it was a natural fit to see guys like Pudge Rodriguez and Juan Gonzalez go from the minor league team I loved to the major league team I loved. I was a Rangers fan well into my adulthood before I ditched them because they spent a shit ton of money on players like A-Rod and then spent diddley-squat on pitching.
So, as I sit here,...

New Street Lights To Have “Homeland Security”... →
herestothehalcyon:
In terms of Homeland Security applications, each of the light poles contains a speaker system that can be used to broadcast emergency alerts, as well as a display that transmits “security levels” (presumably a similar system to the DHS’ much maligned color-coded terror alert designation), in addition to showing instructions by way of its LED video screen.
The lights also...

You should go read it.
I’ll give you a teaser…
It’s a good album.

Day One of Training the New Guy
It went pretty well. He’s a nice guy and he seems pretty sharp.
That about sums it up.

They call me the Bump
One night with me

Tumblr's Steve Agee: Siskiyou County Courts is the... →
steveagee:
Well I just found out that my drivers license is suspended because I failed to appear in court in YREKA because I failed to pay a ticket that I got IN YREKA. Why didn’t I appear in court? Because I never received any notifications. Why? Because somehow the Yreka Superior Court has been sending all…
Might I suggest…Judge Judy?
No One Has a Little Orphan Annie Decoder Ring to...
Maybe it’s just as silly for me to point out my pet peeve about people who constantly litter their blog posts with initials, but really, it’s not just annoying, it’s pointless.
Here’s an example of what I’m referring to:
“So, last night I was hanging with T and P, but then R and L came over, and there’s always so much drama. I thought about calling J,...
“Love is not a flower
It is cold and it is poison
and we were hungry
We were...”

Sometimes, I forget how to walk
Like seriously, I went to the track to have a walk and I was be-bopping along, listening to tunes…(hold on a second, tumblr is telling me “listening” isn’t a word. It’s suggesting “tensing”. You’re a fucking idiot website.), and then I snap out of my daydream and I think “Am I walking right?” and I start to weave and wobble a little. It...

Whatever happened to Semi-Nude Picture Day?
It's going to be hard to make a Best of the Year...
It feels like this is the best year in a few years for new tunes.
Kasey Anderson & the Honkies, Middle Brother, Ryan Adams, Deer Tick, Glossary, Dawes, Mister Heavenly, NOTAR, The Romany Rye…

We’ll face the music, next...”

Thursday...(No Clever Blog Title)
In case you missed it, I went in and got back injections yesterday. They hurt. (Un)Luckily, the pretty nurse held my hands while I got them. I’m pretty sure these are supposed to make me feel better, but so far, they’ve made me pretty fucking sore. I’m supposed to go back and get more next month. They originally scheduled that for the day before I was leaving for Baltimore and...
There's a heavy does of The Replacements on this...
I dig it.
