Not bullying. Not in anyway. A smart ass comment among adults is not bullying. Thanks for trivializing a serious thing though, the world.

Hey
youngmanhattanite:
Someone writes for this blog who is neither young nor Manhattanite.
George Brett.
When I was younger, I didn’t really worry much about what I would become. I mean I wanted to do things and achieve things, but I had always been pretty much the same guy. Now, it’s pointless to worry about what I have become because that is not the way time works. It’s not static. Every fucking minute of your life is a precipice.

I don't I should have had to do that, Dave.
I just Googled “Why is CR48 talking to me?” There were answers. It involves a strange combination of keystrokes.
This morning I discovered that I do an excellent impersonation of James Mason. Looking in my closet, just a few minutes before I would be officially late for work, I said to myself, “Lo, I simply have nothing to wear.”
The words pulsed through my tiny bedroom, that undeniable, and quite strange, mixture of nasally whine and sonorous bellow. I turned around instinctively, but knew that I...

My son has been saying Star Wars: Clone Wars, not Star Wars: Pornos. Whew.
A guy on TV just talked about someone named Dorfman. Did not call him “The Dorf” Dorfman. The legacy of Fletch has been destroyed.
Birth certificate joke. Trump’s hair. Entropy.
The proof that narcissism is on the rise is that kids today don’t care about Woodstock or the death of Kurt Cobain.

nerdshares:
I haven’t written anything lengthy on this blog in awhile, mostly because I had/have lost my taste for protracted Tumblr battles because #life #problems, etc. But every once in a great while I read various reactions to The Bee That Is Currently In Our Collective Bonnet and think “…I don’t agree with any of this.”
So Jennifer Egan said, after winning the Pulitzer Prize for fiction:

It’s okay to hate the royals, Americans. It’s why you’re Americans.
Beastie Boys Guilt
So, it’s dogged me my whole life. I wasn’t supposed to like them because they were rap, and I was not rap. Then, I wasn’t supposed to like them because they were white and not authentic. After that, they weren’t rap enough. Then, they weren’t grunge enough. Then, for a brief period, they weren’t from Detroit enough. Then, they were too To the 5 Boroughs. Now,...

– The Millions : What We Call What Women Write
Oh, for god’s sake. Let’s get this out of the way first: it’s not somehow uglier for a woman to insult another woman than it is for a man to insult a woman or for a man to insult a man. Blah. “Girl-on-girl crime” is a phrase that should be discarded...

On Not Writing a Novel
On Not Writing A Novel
If you notice anything different about me, it’s that I’m not working on a novel. Or a screenplay. Or a book of short stories. I’m no longer distracted and distant because my head is full of potential stories and bits of dialogue. For about ten years, the first thing I did with every book of fiction I picked up (and I spent a lot of time in bookstores) was to check...
That’s my man, Ryan Howard. That’s my man.
If any of the TV networks had guts, they would run a zombie movie marathon tomorrow.
I can’t tell you how much I hated My So Called Life as a teenager. Stop. Biting. Your. Damn. Lip.
bluebears:
The Awl has a list up, 27 TV Shows They Killed Too Early, In Order of Heartbreak and I take issue with it.
Specifically they have listed Arrested Development as number 2 and Freaks and Geeks as number 1. No. Allow me to piss in everyone’s corn flakes.
Freaks and Geeks was just an ok show. Ok? It wasn’t that good. It wasn’t even in AD’s fucking neighborhood. I have seen every episode...
Everything about that Beastie Boys video makes me feel a 1000 years old. Can I be against censorship with exceptions?
Did you know that a major event happens every 15 minutes in Raiders of the Lost Ark? Watch your watch next time you watch. Ha.
There’s someone on my Facebook who has been chronicling her travails with making beef jerky. Apparently, those travails do not include 1. Going to the gas station for beef jerky or 2. Never eating disgusting beef jerky.

Seriously though, hasn’t Mariah Carey been pregnant for 2 years? She thinks that you have to keep each baby in there for 9 separate months, doesn’t she?
