John Mayer reminds us all why it's fun to be John Mayer
John Mayer’s life does not suck. He’s pretty rich, he’s relatively popular, and from what I can tell, in good health.

And I don’t think he’s even released a record [...]
5 Second Movies
There are a bunch of clips on YouTube where people take their crack at summarizing a movie in 5 seconds. Most of them weren’t very funny, but this one I rather enjoyed: Yeah it can, buddy. Yeah it can.
The Mr. Falcon Fan Club

We Own the Night
I just watched We Own the Night, a 2007 movie with Jaoquin Phoenix, Mark Wahlberg, Robert Duvall, and Eva Mendes. I liked it, which means you should stay far, far, far away from this movie. I’m the guy who loved, and recommended, A History of Violence, a movie which made those who saw it on [...]
