So as you all know, or maybe you don’t, either way let me tell my damn story
My favorite day of JazzFest is the Thursday of JazzFest. It’s a little more low key, but there are always some awesome smaller bands and less Beach Boy reunions. Plus the vibe is awesome. And this year, because of the projects I’m handling at work, I had to make the adult decision not to go. And I was super depressed about it.
Around 3:00pm my boss called me into his office and told me how appreciative he was of the hard work I have been putting in for the past couple of weeks. Quote- You’ve been spinning a number of plates recently and none of them have hit the ground. That hasn’t gone unnoticed. You work hard and you’re good at what you do.
Awesome right? Then he hands me an envelope and tells me that it is a more tangible representation of his appreciation. And it was $1500. With taxes taken out and all, but that was the original amount. GUESS WHO JUST GOT A BEACH HOUSE FOR A WEEK!!! Fucking Bananas.
Ice-T, on why Hillary Clinton will be the first female president
The best part about this story is that the Huffington Post (via the AP) decided to explain to us what a “G” is. In case you didn’t know — it’s “the hip-hop term for gangster (a positive thing)”.

My brother loves to send me articles where lazy journalists have cited urbandicitonary.com or the like as a source.

“The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo” Opening Credits (Full version in HD)
And we file this under: Things I knew I would love from the moment that my step mother told me she almost walked out of the theatre because she was so “turned off” by watching the opening credits
I know this makes it sound like I don’t like my step mother [valid point] but this is the woman who watched the first episode of Breaking Bad and responded with “I didn’t get it” and told my dad he couldn’t watch it anymore if she was in the room and the first episode of Arrested Development and remarked “Why would I want to watch a show where everyone hated one another” Listen, the list goes on and all, but when you include how she called The Office “mean spirited” she has called all the shows I love terrible and when it comes to entertainment I would rather slap her in the face than listen to the pedantic words that come out of her mouth.
louis C.K. (via conceptalbum)
I have a theory that the internet was designed for Louis C.K. to (kind of) quote Noam Chomsky about the dangers of corporate inhumanity.

Brian Wilson for EVERYTHING- “It’s a weird mascot game. The Backs versus the Cocks. Never bet against the Cocks”
Corso almost had another stroke and I don’t think Herbie kept it together enough to say his pick.
Brian Wilson LOVES the Cocks
