I need to stock up on blazers
And then, of course, places that I could wear blazers to.
Still pissed Alan didn't win Chopped Champions.
How are you going to say no to that man?

A little kid asked me today
if I was growing my beard out so that I could help out Santa come Christmas.
Fucking adorable.
Another reason I need to get out of this town
Dinner parties. I want to throw them.
I want to make all kinds of fancy delicious food and make my friends fat.
But all my friends here want to eat are tacos and pizza. Don’t get me wrong, I love tacos and pizza. They’re pretty much but not exactly better than sex. I want to spark things up, though.
Dear Polyvinyl,
Hey, how’s it going?
Want to give me a job? I don’t really care what you have me do, I just need to be able to afford rent in the area and pay a couple bills. If it helps, my record collection is impeccably organized.

I remember the day Obama won the Presidency,
I was standing in the middle of Chicago’s Grant Park, and words simply cannot describe the energy that was filling the streets.

The Replacements // Here Comes A Regular
I saw a sign at the Wall Street protests
that said something to the effect of “College graduates; the world you trained for is dead.”

Animal Collective - Polly (Nirvana cover)
Part of me finds it kind of odd
that all these kids on Tumblr posting pictures of cassettes weren’t even born when cassettes were the popular medium.
Then I remember most of my music is on vinyl, and I feel like an asshole.

The thing that really annoys me about these...
and I swear this will be my last post on the topic for awhile, is that at the end of the day, nothing in this country is going to change. And I think we all know that. There’s only two ways to enact the level of change necessary in this country; a massive amount of money, a battle we will in no way win, and a massive show of force, which the country simply isn’t united enough for. ...
It still pisses me off when I stumble upon CNN's...
And see absolutely no mention of the Wall Street protests.
I mean, honestly, let’s at least pretend to have a little integrity.

Remember, it’s not just our right to speak our minds against a corrupt system, to stand against it and remove it from power; it’s our duty.

I mean, yeah, Depp did a pretty decent Hunter back in ‘98, but I just have a bad feeling about this.

I really, really need to move back to Chicago.
Who wants to let me live on their couch?
I don’t have cash, but I’ll let you listen to my record collection whenever you want, and I’ll always share my booze with you.
