“ You ain’t going to win 10 games every year. We’ve already done the impossible. You think anybody will ever do again what we did, 14 years in a row with the ending the season ranked in the top five? You think anybody will do that again? … Everybody expects that every year and gosh, it just don’t work that way.

molls: I know a lot of people like to say that they love The Velvet Underground but they’re just a bunch of lying idiots because The Velvet Underground fucking sucks. Ditto The New York Dolls, Lou Reed (save “Walk on the Wild Side”) Yo La Tengo, The Replacements, Animal Collective, Pavement, The Flaming Lips & Grizzly Bear. I do however, dig The National.

“ It’s exhausting reading over and over again that my industry is dying and that young people who are interested in a literary life will have to suck it up and get used to giving everything away for free. But what’s particularly frustrating is that in every one of these stories (and in the mind, and rhetoric, of every tech-head) there’s always the assertion that the devastation of the industry is somehow “exciting” and that there will be “opportunities” for “tech-savvy young people” in the future. No one ever talks about what those opportunities will be. No one knows when that future is coming.

What I learned this weekend (Thanksgiving edition)

  • Partying until 5 AM is only acceptable in the following circumstances:
  1. You’re friends with a rock band and it’s the last night of tour. (Or the third.)
  2. You work at a nightlife establishment and go out after your shift.
  3. You host after-hours at your spot.
  4. Vegas.

Other than that, take thine ass home.

  • You can get all the MBA, JD, MD, RPG or BBD’s you want, but if you don’t know how to interact with people from different walks of life, you’ll never be successful. That’s in business or anything else.
  • White people eat stuffing, Black people eat dressing.
  • Stuffing can be made with White Castles. It’s AMAZING.
  • There are few sweeter sentences in the English language than “Grandma and I are cooking, freezing, and shipping you Thanksgiving dinner.”
  • After one of the aforementioned 5 AM ragers, get up and work out IMMEDIATELY. You feel great the rest of the day.
  • Black Friday must be the SLOWEST news day of the year. No one has a damn clue what happened w/Tiger Woods, but people were damn near memorializing him by 2 PM.
  • Hilarity is having several dating options, but no place of your own to bring them back to.
  • Write. Write. Write.
  • You really have no idea who has your back in this world.

If you support TCU, any Big 10 school, UGA, Bama, Cincy, Texas, or are just not a fan of a-holes, you should root for the Noles today!

The one about Thanksgiving

I got too drunk last night.

Champagne and I need to interact more, you know? It’s light stuff! I stayed the night at this girl who I’m dating? (the question mark there is meant to show that inflection thing people do) and while walking to the train (whistling, naturally) I took stock in what I’m thankful for. You know, like the cool kids.

Then it hit me. That particular moment, standing on the corner of Lincoln and Diversey at 9-whatever it was will never exist again. I’m thankful I get moments like that.

I’m thankful to be self-aware enough to know that while I currently have $12.00 to my name, that won’t always be the case.

I’m thankful of the fact that I don’t have to pick cotton all day.

I’m thankful that I have my fucking brothers. Frathouse all damn day.

I’m thankful of the women in my life from Ma Dukes on down.

I’m thankful for tweets like this: RT @phontigallo:Shout out to all my niggas married to white girls that gotta eat Thanksgiving at her parents house today.#blandasstatersalad

Dinner time.

Oh, and I’m thankful for you beautiful people. Every last one o’ya.
