Nothing gave me purer glee in 2011 than this song.

WHO’S LAUGHING NOW, INDEED.

Enlightened was the best thing of 2011, probably.

Managed Expectations

I hailed a cab because I was running late. “Busy night for you, huh,” I said after giving the driver my destination. Somehow he interpreted this as a referendum on his income-earning power because for the rest of the ride he told me about how much people wanted from him. People in Las Vegas calling him because they were down and out and in need of $300. Family members asking if they could move in. Women telling him that they’d fuck guys if it meant they could get cars or expensive clothes. (He used a popular song to illustrate this point over and over, to the point where it sort of got stuck in my head.) White women weren’t immune from this either, in case I was wondering. It went on. Mostly I answered with clucked tongues and “oh my goodness”-ing.

But at one point I said, “That’s so funny because all I want is a second date with someone who is nice and likes me.”

He kept yelling.

this salem mixtape is a steaming pile of lollllll

and yet i am playing right into their hands by even mentioning it. can’t wait until 2013, when they reveal their klf-like blueprint for achieving “success” in the internet era through sparking ire and pretending to not give a shit about anything. (especially their music.)

civilcervant asked: Any major plans for the new year?

Well on New Year’s Day I’m going to my friend Jon’s to watch my alma mater in a bowl game.

As far as big plans for 2011? I have a few. One will be announced shortly. The others are more vague and involve overarching concepts like “being an adult” and “realizing my potential” and “saying ‘like’ about 90% less than I do now.”
