Judged the LFHS talent show auditions today. Incredibly hungover.
Quite possibly one of the most enjoyable and ridiculous experiences of my life.

Not Resolutions
I’m opposed to New Year’s Resolutions. I believe that if there is something that you want to change or improve, you should being working on it right away instead of waiting for some future day.
That said, the changing of the year does provide a valuable benchmarking opportunity. It is easier to mark time and reflect by year than any other arbitrary date. By all accounts, 2010 was a...

Be Thankful I'm Back on tumblr
On this, my 24th Thanksgiving, I have realized that I am thankful for many things in life. Of them all, however, the one that stands out is hip hop collaborations.
At least that’s what I told myself when I sat down at my tv tonight. Dinner was done, the family was in bed, I was beer & wined up. Perfect time to toss on Fuse’s Top 20 Hip Hop Collaborations. I kept a running diary of...

I will be seeing this show in just over a month. I CANNOT WAIT.

Maybe my mind is in the gutter, but my first thought was that you won’t able to walk the next morning because Lady Gaga will put you...
I highly suggest following Catalog Living. Easily the funniest tumblr page I’ve seen in a while.
In other news, I haven’t slept in a bed on the weekend since June 12th.
So I’m not going to be able to make it to Lolla this year, but I took a look at the recently released lineup and decide that this would probably be my schedule if I was going. This of course doesn’t account for the inevitable drinking, waiting in food/bathroom lines, and wandering around early in the day to check out unknown bands (which is one of the best parts). It also doesn’t...

Reblogged by kquizzo Their review of SATC2 is unfavorable, and they make many good points about why the movie is flat out dumb. But in the introduction to the review, they talk about this: It makes for an interesting read and interesting thinking. I find their comments about the assumption in several reviews that a woman who has any desire to see SATC2 must be “vapid and shallow” to ring true....

It may sound cliche, but Wake Forest is an incredibly tight knit community. Through the power of the internet, a few thousand alums, students, and fans communicate with each other at all hours of the day on all imaginable topics. This family knows each other, shares our stories, laughs together, yells at each other, and on occasion cries together.
Less than a month ago, an alum from the class of...
I have developed the biggest crush on Katy Perry
do i really need to do this ish again?
kquizzo:
Tom, I’m confused. There are schools on that list not in Chicago.
Astute observation. You can blame the lack of Chicago-area schools that offer joint degrees of a MBA & also a M. Public Administration or Public Policy. Northwestern & UChicago are easily my top two choices, though.
do i really need to do this ish again?
Northwestern
University of Chicago
New York University
Duke University
University of North Carolina - Chapel Hill
Syracuse University
Georgetown University
University of Michigan
University of Southern California
University of Texas - Austin
Pepperdine University
University of Wisconsin
Applications due in five months.

Original Answer: “Nope, but once I passed out on the last one, right before the last crumb entered my mouth.”
Current Answer: Why is there an apostrophe in the word Oreos?

“In that moment I swear we were infinite.”

Why in the world did a Nickelback tumblr think it was okay to attribute this amazing quote, my favorite line from one of my favorite books, to a NICKELBACK SONG?

So the other day I was honkering around in my old yahoo mail account, and came across a flurry of those email surveys/quizzes from high school. Most of them are just from me to @kquizzo and back (yes, I still have yours), and I decided to compare my past self to my current self.
1. What time is it
Original Answer: “9:46pm, exactly 5 hours after Katie : )”
Current Answer:...
kquizzo:
The past 12 hours (almost to the minute) have consisted of:
8.5 hours of sleeping
1 hour of showering/getting ready for the day
…and 7 episodes of this show.
I’m hooked.
It takes you an hour to get ready for the day? I love being a boy.

8 Best Fictional Presidents
8. President Baxter Harris - Scary Movie 3 - A very guilty pleasure of mine, this movie deserves a lot more credit than it gets. A definite step above the rest of the Scary Movie franchise.
7. President Tom Beck - Deep Impact - Americans would be so mesmerized by Morgan Freeman’s voice that we would unanimously agree with every stance he takes.
6. President James Dale - Mars Attacks!...
At what point do you swallow your pride for a girl?

In the months before I packed up for Abu Dhabi, I worked in Deerfield with one of the most macho guys I’ve ever met. Ex-marine, former collegiate athlete, unbelievably competitive. His entire life he always wanted to have sons so he could mold into them into perfect athlete, drink beers with them, etc. Well, life has a funny way of working out, and he ended up with three daughters and no sons....

The Bonnaroo lineup is ridiculous.
kquizzo:
DISAGREE. You know that they have some big wonderful grand plan for how all the pieces will fit together flawlessly. That doesn’t make you care or pay attention at all?
Or another tactic: aren’t you feeling rewarded by seeing all the people, things, and situations that you’ve noticed from previous seasons crop up in different ways and iterations?
I am assuming (hoping) that they...
I just don’t care about the off-island storyline.
