01-22 These Are A Few Of My Favorite Things

Simple blog post: some of my favorite things. I’m pretty sure I’ve done this before on this very blog, but guess what… THIS IS MY FUCKING BLOG. Deal with it. That’s what I love about this blog. I can do whatever I want. It’s just for fun. I’m not trying to impress clients or create linkbait or attract the ladies or anything! That also happens to be the good thing about being an adult… I can do whatever I want. People forget that but they shouldn’t! Just think back to when you were a kid and you were in the toys section of a store. You wanted to buy the toys but you couldn’t. Guess what… now you can! And I do! Look at these pictures from my office:

I’m sure it annoys the crap out of Heather when I drag her into the toys section so I can buy an action figure or some legos, but it really makes me happy. It helps me remember to never ever grow up. Never to become boring. Never forget how amazing the world is and how much there is to learn. Grown ups think they know everything and, therefor, are boring. When you live you life knowing that there is a whole bunch of new and exciting things to learn and experience every single day, life is fucking awesome!

Seriously, the next time you are at Target or Walmart, go to the toys section and buy a toy. It’ll really bring you back. It’s fun!

Whoa… can you say… tangent? Anyway. Here we goooooooooooooo…

Favorite Artist or Band: The Beatles. I know it sounds boring and lame, but I mean it. I mean it so much. I love The Beatles. There is no getting around how great they are. I still can’t believe I got to see Paul live. I cried so much. That was the closest I will ever get to a religious experience.

Favorite Album: The Soft Bulletin by The Flaming Lips. True, my favorite album is not by my favorite band, but The Soft Bulletin really is the best album of all time. It’s the kind of album that you listen to all the way through and feel this amazing sense of satisfaction. It’s sexy, chaotic, beautiful, depressing, uplifting, psychedelic, and perfect in every way. And if you have surround sound, be sure to buy the 5.1 surround sound Soft Bulletin DVD. It will change your life!

Favorite Songs: Tie! I’m Yours by Jason Mraz and Gemini (Birthday Song) by Why? These two songs are tied because they are both amazing. I’m Yours is just a really great, feel good song. Who doesn’t love it? I would say that it is objectively a perfect song. Perfect… just like Gemini (Birthday Song). This song is beautiful. It is emotional and intense. The lyrics blow me away every time I listen to it… and I listen to it a lot! I am 100% positive that I have listened to this song more than any other song ever. The band Why? is amazing, and this is their best song by far.

Favorite Rum: Sailor Jerry. Yum.

Favorite iPhone App: Yelp. So useful. I have started writing Yelp reviews recently, and have really started to appreciate the Yelp community and all that it is doing. Sure, some of them are snobs, but overall they are providing the world with lots of great reviews. Awesome.

Favorite Soda: Coke Zero. I know that diet soda is not good for you. I don’t care. I have chosen to have diet soda as my one unwavering vice. It’s so yummy. Diet Mountain Dew does come in at a close second. Double yum!

That’s all. Remember… I love you.
