Never cried so much writing something, but here’s the most miraculous story of my life!

Google Scribe Writes Bon Iver
I tried to re-create the writing of the titular song on Bon Iver’s album, For Emma, Forever Ago. I enlisted Google Scribe’s help. There in that frozen cabin in my mind, we wrote:
So apropos saw death as a result of these changes. For every one, Forgo J, Biberfeld seek the advice of your physician my knees are slightly knocked. Running Time running out Go find another lover to bring...
A Photo post with a provocative quip.
Hey everyone, yes, you.
I talked to two of my oldest true friends today. One with whom I’ve had a light, humorous, incredibly intellectually fulfilling friendship, and one with whom I’ve had some ups and some incredibly vicious downs. The first one and I talked about music and I asked to borrow his entire Yo La Tengo collection. We talked about voices. I realized how narrow my musical...

Mom: Cut his dick off in a public square!
Why I love my mom:
My mother doesn’t follow football, but when I offhandedly mentioned that Ben Roethlisberger, slimebag extraordinaire, was one of the quarterbacks in the Super Bowl today, She said.
“I say shia justice for this guy. I don’t care. Cut his dick off in a public square. You can’t do shit like that.”
I love you, mom

Liveblogging John Boehner
So right now John Boehner is talking on my TV.
He said: “return comedy to this institution.” I think he just did.
So he just finished talking about how not voting for healthcare is “defying the will of the American people.” I, one of said American people, will that healthcare be reformed. So do my parents. So does my employer, an organization representing hundreds...

Things Definitely Happening in the USA Right Now...
Tonight is that night of all nights, when people can sit staring at a screen, which shows a group of people sitting staring at a screen which tells them who did the best job of being stared at in a screen. This ignites feeling and reaction in the human breast. These are a few things I know will happen in the United States as a result of Oscar Night tonight.

“Unanswered Questions are far less dangerous than unquestioned answers.”

For another 50 cents, you can get bacon or sausage. Coffee is a bit more.
