It is a scientific fact: year end edition
My only commentable thought going into the new year is this: In the past year almost every single person I care about either lost their job or had a period of horrifying unemployment. Not a one of them had to move home or sell blood or turn to unsavory ways. 2009 was a year in which I realized that me and mine are a tough bunch of sumbitches. My only new years resolution is to keep on in a similar...

It is a scientific fact
Seeing Avatar in an imax was a really good idea. Anyone that shat on that movie is dead inside and hates the thought of adventure. They do not like fruit jelly on their toast because it is just too much sugar. They think pepper jack is the devil’s cheese.

You’re young, you have all the time in the world.
I’m not getting fat. I used to be too skinny and now I’m just “filling out.”
No one noticed that I was a half-hour late today.
I can afford that.
I worked as hard as I could.
I love my job.
I don’t need to shower.
Yeah, that’s clean enough.
That milk is still good
I should tumbl that

my friend ryan is getting a dog. i asked him to...
me: would you like to go to downtown dogs today
Ryan: .....maybe I would. you thinking after work?
Ryan: or at lunch? I didn't realize it was RIGHT HERE
me: i meant at lunch
Ryan: that sounds cool. It's thursday so I need to be back by like 10 to, but if we leave a smidge early I would be down for fun times
me: we'll see, i might not be able to sneak out early
Ryan: ok. well if not, another time. there will always be cute dogs
me: hahahaha
me: what???
me: it's a hot dog place!!!
Ryan: hahahahahahaha
Ryan: I totally thought it was a dog place with dogs in it and you wanted to look at dogs
me: you are a dumb insane butthead
me: hahahaha
Ryan: hey man, I am focused like a laserbeam right now.
All I'm saying is they need to be a little more specific with that name. It's not like I'd go to "Chicago cars" if I wanted toy cars. I would go there for a god damned car.

I’ve either had a small blood vessel burst or I have the beginnings of the pink eye. I kind of hope it’s a blood vessel. I want to be like the angry teacher from Daria.

hipster child
tomatoallergy:
This morning on the train there was a hipster child. He was dressed impeccably: gray skinny jeans, converse, chain wallet, expensive coat with clean lines, messenger bag, shaggy hair. Cellphone in hand. He was probably 10 or 11.
I wanted to take a picture of him, but the train got crowded fast and I’m fully aware that it is sort of creepy and sketchy to take pictures of...

How the hell do professionals deal with winter hat hair?
Do we all just look like assholes for the next few months?

If the first time you have to walk through snow (however slight) to get to work happens to fall on your office’s jeans day,

J'ai artiste
So in chicago right now there is an art project going on. 500 red cubes have been placed at random locations around the city, each with a password for a web account with the art institute.
And this morning I found one.
Each cube account carries with it an art project for you to do if you find a cube and wish to participate. Mine is to create my own pink period (a la Picasso’s blue...
Well now we have something to look forward to.
