The amount of time I laughed at this was a quick reminder that my sense of humor has not, and probably will never mature.

Roger Ebert Hails Human Existence As ‘A Triumph’

CHICAGO—Calling the overall human experience “poignant,” “thought-provoking,” and a “complete tour de force,” film critic Roger Ebert praised existence Thursday as “an audacious and thrilling triumph.” “While not without its flaws, life, from birth to death, is a masterwork, and an uplifting journey that both touches the heart and challenges the mind,” said Ebert, adding that while the totality of all humankind is sometimes “a mess in places,” it strives to be a magnum opus and, according to Ebert, largely succeeds at this goal. “At times brutally sad, yet surprisingly funny, and always completely honest, I wholeheartedly recommend existence. If you haven’t experienced it yet, then what are you waiting for? It is not to be missed.” Ebert later said that while human existence’s running time was “a little on the long side,” it could have gone on much, much longer and he would have been perfectly happy.

As usual, The Onion nails it. RIP Mr. Ebert.

I bet there’s some guy out there with really bad herpes, and he sees this picture and thinks, “UGH, I GET IT. Those Las Vegas commercials are misleading. I GET IT. I LEARNED MY LESSON. GO AWAY ALREADY, BURNING AND ITCHING SENSATIONS.”

But little does he know, the herpes is trying to teach him how to properly use the words ironic and literally.

A couple of nice young men came to my door this morning and told me about how Kenny Loggins sacrificed himself for my sins. I didn’t even know Kenny Loggins passed away. I guess life in the danger zone finally caught up to him.

You see?! Even the words with friends says so! Do you hear me, you damn kids of today? If you don’t listen to me, at least listen to the words with friends. Because I know how much all the kids love their words with friends.

A brilliant person combined my girlfriend’s favorite thing with my favorite thing. I think this video has brought us closer together. So thank you, internet genius that has too much time on his hands.

The Dave Brubeck Quartet - In Your Own Sweet Way

I had the privilege of seeing Mr. Brubeck in concert a few years ago. And while it would have been amazing to travel back in time and see him in some hip jazz club, snapping my fingers along with Take Five as I watched through the billowing smoke, I couldn’t help but feel a sense of gratitude for having an opportunity to see a living legend at work. And what’s more, he was pushing 90 and still as sharp on the keys and with his humor as a guy a third his age. And for a man who is widely loved and revered for being a musical genius, he always seemed like such a humble, kind person, and I always appreciated that just as much if not more than his incredible catalog of songs.

To close that concert, he played Lullaby and made the entire audience feel like they were being tucked into bed by their doting grandfather. So, I only feel it appropriate to say thank you and wish Mr. Brubeck a peaceful rest.

So I gotta be honest with you guys. I got pretty confused last night with the signage at my polling place. Long story short, I was just about done yelling my choices on all the propositions at the flag when a volunteer asked me to stop and told me there was a door three feet to the right of where I was standing. I think she was pretty mad at me. That’s probably why she denied my request for extra stickers.
