See The National
Actually, I should say try to see The National. You should do this now. Do not hesitate. You never know when you’ll get the chance to see this band in a small venue again. I’m guessing it’s not going to be anytime soon.
See, looking at the remaining dates on their tour schedule, you’re likely to […] (via Stupid White Boy)
What Do I Have To Do?
I don’t get it.
I insult some obscure band and I get berated incessantly, but I rip moviestar Robin Williams apart and no one says anything. Where’s the outrage?! Who do I have to insult? Do I have to make some really tasteless Chris Benoit jokes or something?
What is wrong with you people?

Boxer Shorts! K-Mart!
I’ve always fancied myself as slightly autistic.
I don’t like large crowds. I feel awkward around people that I don’t know. I have to work very hard to make eye contact most of the time. it’s been pointed out to me from time to time that I don’t seem to care too much about other people’s […] (via Stupid White Boy)

Thanks for killing the ratings for the NBA Draft, Ric.
As a Portland, Greg Oden is just what we need. Good attitude, another potential face of the franchise in a city that desperately wants a winner.
Why Won’t Robin Williams Go Away?
I was watching an episode of The Office on my computer over my lunch today and it got me to thinking. Why does Robin Williams have to ruin everything?
Let me explain.
John Krazinski, or “Jim” as most fans of The Office know him, is starring in a movie this summer called License to Wed with the […] (via Stupid White Boy)

Yawn
Not much for me to talk about. Or, at least, not much that I really feel like talking about at the moment. The weekend was pretty blase’ and this week has not changed that at all. So far.
Tomorrow, I have a dentist appointment. Yay! I’m getting cavities filled, which is always a blast and a […] (via Stupid White Boy)

Listening to “Pet Sounds”
Just a thought:
I’m pretty sure that, immediately after writing the album Pet Sounds, Brian Wilson’s brain said to itself, “Well, my work here is done.” and went on it’s merry way, leaving Brian nuttier than a chipmunk.

Album out July 10th. Trust me, this one’s electric. She opened for John Vanderslice a few months ago here in town and we caught the last half of her set. It was so transfixing that we stopped in mid-sentence to watch.

I Thought Only God Could Do That
Apparently, the Vatican released a list of ten “Commandments” for good driving.
No word on whether this particular set of Commandments has been etched onto stone tablets. Although I have been told that if they are, they will be displayed prominently in front of DMVs through out the Bible Belt.
Let’s go through this list together, shall […] (via Stupid White Boy)
Let’s Get Incredible
I often, although not necessarily intentionally, put a lot of thought into how the music I’ve listened to over the years has aged. Mostly, this inquisition has started over the past couple of years, as I’ve gotten old enough to hear the seminal bands of my youth become the new wave of “classic rock.” There’s […] (via Stupid White Boy)

Fuckin’ morons. It’s because of stuff like this that I feel more and more like an old man. Back in my day, we...

Out of Nowhere…
Well, not entirely. I’ve just found out that my old friend Kate is going to see Prince in less than a month. So, in my downtime, I tracked down his recent halftime performance from the last Super Bowl (I stopped actually counting them years ago, I think we’re in the “XL’s”). I remembered it as […] (via Stupid White Boy)
Learn to LeShoot
Don’t get me wrong. I like LeBron James. I like his approach to basketball, taking the view that it’s team first and self second is a refreshing breeze in an NBA full of blustery egos clamoring for attention.
But, there’s a problem here. His Cavaliers are down 3-0 to the Spurs of San Antonio in the […] (via Stupid White Boy)

The Rundown
No, I’m not going to talk about a crappy movie starring The Rock. I’m not that hard up for material.
In fact, I’m kind of overwhelmed with things to talk about. Which, in itself is overwhelming. Not quite as bad as being underwhelmed, though. I guess in the whole spectrum of being “whelmed,” I’d rather be […] (via Stupid White Boy)

The Dumbest and Saddest Thing I’ve Heard All Week
I recently stumbled upon (okay, I found it on Reddit) this article about the Pentagon’s idea to build a “Gay Bomb.” You really have to read it for yourself to fully get the jist of it, but here’s a little tidbit to get you started:
As part of a military effort to develop non-lethal weapons, the […] (via Stupid White Boy)

I am currently lying on the floor of my living room. My dog is faithfully snuggled up against me. My knees and ankles are popping like corn.
I know that I’m only 27 years old. I know that I’m still a hopeless gym rat who bikes to work and plays basketball and runs two to three […] (via Stupid White Boy)
Smile, It’s Friday
Suddenly, my day has gotten a bit sunnier. The world seems like it’s a better place. Birds are chirping, I can hear the sweet sound of children’s laughter outside and Paris Hilton is crying.
Ahhh….

Reason #82 why I’d be a bad parent: I would have hip-checked that 10-year old into the boards and then dragged him off the ice by his hair. I’m sorry, but if ANYONE was maliciously taunting and attempting to injure my child, they’d get the full wrath.

The daily grind has gotten to me as of late, along with some particularly asinine comments to previous posts (more on that later), so instead of mustering up the energy to write a couple of long, wordy posts on some subjects I’ve been toying with, I’m going to do a list. […] (via Stupid White Boy)

When I played sports growing up, a few of us wanted to be Jerry Rice or Michael Jordan, but, when it came down to it, we all wanted to be Bo. Every time someone knocked the snot out of a baseball or ran someone over on a football field, we thought of Bo. I nearly cried when I watched him get hurt, because, as soon as I heard what the injury was, I knew he would never be Bo again. Interesting...
