Pop music is vacuous and catchy. It has always been vacuous and catchy. That's why it's awesome.
Stop glorifying the 90s. Or the 80s. Or waxing on about how modern pop music is in some way inferior, like people weren’t saying the same damn thing in 1994. It’s pop music. It’s awesome. Always.
NOT JUST A SLAM DUNK, BUT A 2-HANDED JAM.
more twitter, more problems
so, i signed up for a twitter account so that i could text in blog posts while i’m mostly away from a computer during the day this summer.
i can’t really get it to work. suggestions?
also, i have two twitter followers even though i haven’t really said that i’ve had twitter. why is the internet so creepy?

ATTENTION LATE NIGHT TUMBLRERS

Lindsey Buckingham’s solo material is very moving and redemptive. NOT.
this skit i do on thursdays
at this camp i’m working at, someone asked me to come to the morning gathering to do something in my ‘quartermaster’ persona that might pump up the kids.
essentially, i just yell at the kids for being lazy. by thursday morning, they’ve been in camp for 4 days and only have 2 left. i order them to keep working hard (repairing homes) or there will be dire consequences. this morning, the kids were being so cool.
me: you have to keep working hard! 2 more days! the truth is, you have to power out the rest of the week, because you and i are in the fight of our lives. we’re right in the middle of a giant battle, did you know that? does anybody know what we’re fighting against? do you? go ahead and shout it out! what are we fighting against?
kids (in almost perfect unison, a total surprise): INJUSTICE!
me: THAT’S RIGHT! ROBOTS!
no traffic on the way to work this morning. was i LEFT BEHIND???
chewing bubble gum for the first time in years. how did i get so bad at blowing bubbles? what’s the deal dubble bubble?
Can you help me with a lie? What can I tell people when they ask how my pig is doing? The truth is boring: He is fine. He never does anything new.
Tell people your pig and your daughter haven’t been getting along, so you’ve enrolled the pig in sensitivity training.
It’s just stupid enough to giggle at with other people later, but believable enough that people will probably just nod and say “hmmph, that’s interesting.”
a girl on another staff stopped to tell me that i was in her dream last night. she apologized for yelling at me.
