My body catches up on it's poops. So it would seem that whilst at work, I fall behind at least 3-4 poops, and my body takes no time at all catching up.
Am I alone?

As a Warriors fan, god damn. I feel like I won twice. No Dwight drama, and Iggy. For our garbage no less. Good lord.
Starting five of Curry-Iggy-Barnes-Lee-Bogut? with Klay coming off the bench? Good lord. Jeremy Lin can't guard Curry. Bogut can battle with Howard. We're just as stacked right now, IMO.

Most of the things that we're all up in arms about, I understand the need for change for. The first to usher in that sort of change is always the trial by fire group, which lets face it, Microsoft is no stranger of. I'll tell you this much, though, f*** Gamestop. There has to be a logical way that people can go about buying and trading used games without f***ing the publisher.
The always online thing is retarded and probably easily changeable with a software patch, which needs to happen. I understand the necessity of being online these days, but sometimes I want to take my Xbox to a bro's house and play it without an internet connection. I refuse not to be allowed to do that.
Nobody likes change. Nobody was going to like any of the changes instituted.
The thing is, I'm not much of an Microsoft fanboy. The PS4 looks better to me (though I'm not incredibly fond of my PS3 now.) However, I didn't hate absolutely everything I saw today. The most egregious thing, in my mind, was the shoving of kinect down our throats.

I can't stress enough how important it is to read that guys article. And honestly, The Story So Far's newest record was pretty much all written about broken relationships and girl problems. Subject matter counts, imo. Emo is the lyrical content first and foremost. I read it and don't agree with a lot of the bands he classifies as emo. I know it's debatable as everyone has their own definition, but I personally don't see many of those bands as emo bands, most notably The Story So Far and Cheap Girls. If any band that sings about relationships and girl problems are emo than does that make Descendents, MxPx, Blink 182, and The Ataris emo? I'd say those are all pop punk bands and I'm fairly sure they would categorize themselves as pop punk bands as well. Lyrical content matters of course, but I think more in the style it's written...the diction, the tone, the mood, the prose. I think of emo as much more poetic than pop punk. For the record I'm not a fan of 99% of what I consider emo so I have no bias or anything. I know people get touchy when it comes to music discussions so I'm trying not to condescending to any emo fans out there. Check out The Story So Far "Quicksand" or "Empty Space" and Cheap Girls' "Ft. Lauderdale" or "Parking Lot" and tell me if you would classify them as emo. I personally consider them Pop Punk. However, I can see why people would label them emo. Same goes for The Wonder Years, Transit, bands in that vein. The next wave of pop punk that is hitting us is definitely influenced by that post-hardcore and emo sound. However, they're two different things for me personally. I grew up with Sunny Day Real Estate and Pavement and Taking Back Sunday, Brand New. etc, though I love NFG and Blink and Sum 41 and stuff as well. So those genres are a little more defined in my own brain, I just understand how they can bleed together. They are not so different.

Well, what do you define as emo? Obviously the term has evolved a quite bit since the early days of emo bands like Sunny Day Real Estate, Rites of Spring, and Jawbreaker. Today I consider bands such as Taking Back Sunday, The Used, Thursday, Dashboard Confessional, Hawthorne Heights, and Senses Fail to all be emo. To me The Story So Far is hardcore influenced pop punk along the lines of New Found Glory and Set Your Goals. Cheap Girls are harder to categorize, but I think alternative would be the best description of their sound. I personally don't hear anything close to emo in either The Story So Far or Cheap Girls, but I'm sure there are plenty of people who would disagree with me. I can't stress enough how important it is to read that guys article. And honestly, The Story So Far's newest record was pretty much all written about broken relationships and girl problems. Subject matter counts, imo. Emo is the lyrical content first and foremost.

I'm legitimately worried about Golden State as a Spurs fan. I'm a Golden State fan. Honestly, I wouldn't be too worried if I were you.

I can't check any of the Youtube links right now, so I MIGHT be a fan...depends on what kind of emo we're talking about here. Are we talking first wave DC hardcore emo, 90's emo, 2000's midwest emo? Or are we talking the shitty scene kid stuff that everyone called emo in the 2000s that had absolutely f*** all to do with the genre? Or are we talking about the EXACT mentality that the article beckons we back away from? Music is music. And for the record, no, none of these bands really fall into that genre. If you guys like Into It. Over It. Check out Pet Symmetry and Their / They're / There. Both are side projects of Evans. T / T / T being with guys from Cap'n Jazz.

I don't know why you guys are overthinking it. It works because it's f***ing hilarious. The guy pirouettes and poses after hitting people. It's printable money.

That made sense to me. Hey, douches, I'm working with you under the condition that we beat these guys. Oh, you guys f***ed up my chance to win? Because of your own egos? Well, it seems like you must have forgotten, I'm the big show. So I'm hereby going to punch you in the f***in' face. Jerks.

I felt that the card wasn't too bad all things considered (I mean, look at the card on paper? A distinct, very distinct lack of youth. -- Aside from Fandango and The Shield (who both went over, which was nice.) It was pretty much the status quo that the WWE has seen in the last decade or so. However, there were two distinct things production wise that I felt took away from the big time feel of Wrestlemania.
1) The replay. They overused the replay so much tonight that literally nothing felt special. Nothing felt like that big time Wrestlemania move, and I feel like a large part of that was because anything that happened was immediately replayed. OH MAN LOOK AT THE IMPACT OF THAT DROP KICK. WOAH CHECK IT OUT, UNDERTAKER KICKED THAT TURNBUCKLE ON ACCIDENT AND IT HURT HIM! I get that a lot of these guys are too old to keep any sort of entertaining pace, but good God. Show some discretion, production truck. It just serves to denigrate those truly big time moments.
2) The ending. I remember at the end of Wrestlemania, they would have a recap video with those huge spots. They don't do that anymore. It just ends like hey guys this is it. I'm sorry, but that takes away from the entire thing for me. What happened was important, and the least you can do is show me the important rad things I can just saw. Remind me why this kicked so much ass.
A lot of people are talking about how this just didn't feel like Wrestlemania. It didn't. They didn't do a lot of the things that make it feel bigger than any other event. They just made a grandiose stage and called it Wrestlemania. It was just any other PPV.

The kid is literally fronting about nothing. He's rapping about EXACTLY the things you would expect a young rich kid to rap about. Clothes and girls. There is NO fronting. This is how kids dress. You don't think the vibe that comes from shooting a black-and-white video set on a street is fronting? Not fronting would be him in a Lambo with a bunch of regular ol' rap video hoes. The look of this video and the indie hip-hop vibe is portraying a very different image. Is this a serious argument? Indie hip-hop has claimed black and white music videos? Him not fronting would be the subject matter of his videos, not the subject matter of his songs? Honestly? That's what you're going with here? The kid is like 14. He's portraying the hip-hop artists he looks up to. Much like EVERY other 14 year old. You truly need to check your definition of "fronting".

Wow, that was trash. The Pinkett-Smith children are among some of the most annoying people alive. Ugh. All I can think when I see them is that they're being entered into some giant talent show at their parents' behest. Anyway, nepotism makes sense from a practical standpoint, but that doesn't necessarily make it right. There are the kids of famous people I have a soft spot for (Hank III, Sean Lennon is OK, and he's a no one now but Young Dirty Bastard is vaguely endearing), but for the most part, you should really cultivate your own lineage or go out on a new name if you want to be more than just a pale imitation. It builds character that way, plus you are then less likely to hover around in someone else's shadow. What Jaden does is not building a real career of his own. He is just starring in boring-ass movies and making boring-ass music that's clearly coming from his parents' connections. If he wants to be serious about it, he should do something bold and interesting. He has all the money in the world and no pressure to do what he wants, and instead he sticks to trite kinda s***? Pretty laughable. Seeing Jaden in any type of hood is hilarious. Also, this all the way. Why is this offspring of mainstream multimillionaires fronting so hard? He would probably be better as a 50 Cent/Jay-Z sort who is playing up the fact that he has money coming out of his ass instead of being some pseudo-indie rapper. What a joke. The kid is literally fronting about nothing. He's rapping about EXACTLY the things you would expect a young rich kid to rap about. Clothes and girls. There is NO fronting. This is how kids dress.

There has to be an active reason to deny the Maloofs the deal in Seattle. It's done man, let it go. The owners have no reason to pick and choose who the Maloofs sell too, or suggest that the Sacramento group is any better than the Seattle group. It's ultimately their choice. They own the team.

My girlfriend, upon her first viewing of RAW, was astute enough that the Faces get cheered for doing shitty things while the Heels just basically tell the truth and get their ass kicked for it.
She was born a smark.
