I just read that New York City and other ridiculous cities in the country started a program where they provide one-way tickets to homeless people to basically get them the hell out of town. The apparent rationale for the program is that it’s a lot cheaper to buy them a one-way ticket than to provide [...]

Step It Up People
Is it just me or are people not drinking as much these days? More and more I find myself having to beg people to go out or to stay out, even more annoying. I never much understood the whole convincing people to go out business, like I understand having to convince you to go to [...]

It’s Showtime Synergy
As a child of the 80’s, obviously one of my all-time favorite characters is Jem (truly truly outrageous). In case you weren’t allowed to watch TV as a child, and therefore were a loser, Jem was a cartoon about a regular girl that ran a music label who could transform herself into a super cool rockstar [...]

Vampires
This will be a bit hypocritical seeing as how I am a big fan of the X-Men (not even just their movies, but the team, like them as people) but vampires are stupid. I can respect a good vampire in a movie that takes place no later than 1890. I do not, however, respect modern [...]

DrinkTracker
Apparently for all you tools with an iPhone there’s a new app called the Drink Tracker that has some pretty cool functions. When you go out for the night, you tap the phone every time you have a drink and it continuously updates your blood alcohol level, how long you’ve been drinking and how many [...]

Wedding Gifts
As my friends annoyingly continue to get married (highly over-rated in my opinion) I’ve been talking to a lot of people about wedding gifts. Forget about how much to give or how long you have to send a gift, Aldous recently brought up the topic of having to give a gift at all and he [...]

Hot People Alert
I don’t know what’s going on but in the past two weeks the people at my gym have gotten significantly hotter. I know I shouldn’t question it and just be thankful but it’s such an amazing phenomena that I had to comment about it. It’s gotten to the point where I can barely even work [...]

No TV
I think I’ve made a real breakthrough in life recently. I no longer have a television. I know…you’re thinking “what’s next? you gonna say you hate parties and like to kill kittens?” It’s strange to not know what happens on the Real World Cancun, but I like myself better for it. I shouldn’t know that [...]

Guaranteed Free Drinks
I’ve discovered a new technique for scoring free drinks that I want to share and I swear I didn’t do it on purpose, I stumbled upon it completely accidentally. Make plans to meet up with friends but plan to get there after they have all been drinking for a while. Once you know that they’re [...]

Book Recommendations
I started playing a new game that I find very entertaining and I want you all to try out. Ask people who know you in different ways (co-workers, drinking buddies, your dealer etc.) to recommend a book you should read. I’ve been tearing through books lately and began asking acquaintances whom I trusted may have [...]
