There are a plethora of reasons why I choose to be apathetic in most aspects of my existence, it would just take too long to explain.
2008 was supposed to be the year of growing-up. Instead, its been a daily reminder of just how little I've grown thus far.
I need a better excuse for not shaving than the old adage of lethargy. Are their any religions that practice haircuts and full beards?
Cargo shorts were a very good idea.
I've been told on a number of occasions that I am emotionally crippled. What does that even mean?
Secretly, I pine for a clean escape from my life so I can move to Europe and sell pyramid schemes.
When I'm having a bad day, its best to just leave me alone.
I've never told a girl that I loved her. I just cannot bring myself to use that phrase. This has, surprisingly been the stimulus behind the end of a number of my better relationships.
I hate movie theater gymnastics. You know, having to get up and bend slightly without obstructing the view of the guy behind you so that Person X can get to the aisle. So tiresome and ultimately annoying.
When you go to a restaurant and are the first to order in a group, don't you feel the appetizer pressure? If you choose buffalo wings along with your sandwich, you're setting the standard for all preceding decisions. You are ultimately determining if everyone is getting another drink or ponying up for Caesar salads so they too can fit in.
What happened to the band Len?
Watching degenerate Jersey-shore fuck-ups on MTV is the highlight of my Saturday afternoons.
Where would we be as a nation without VLC and Firefox?
Every time I travel I get this minor anxiety attack before going through security that I might have something inappropriate in my carry-on luggage. 
If you were there, beware.
I'll get a ton of hate for saying this, but I really think New York is overrated. Just so we're clear, I think Los Angeles is as well.
The nightlife social stratosphere is played out in LA. We have the same 10 places and the same 2,000 faces every weekend. This is a major factor in why I decided to retire from the scene. That and the overpriced drinks, oversexed patrons, and overall bullshit.
I am clueless without my GPS.
I have not listened to a full album in the last two months. This has been a totally unconscious choice but a terrifying indicator once again of my scatterbrain musical inclinations.
People that plan their gym wardrobe are hopeless. 
Matthew Santos is better than Akon. 
Justin.tv has been my friend on a number of occasions. 
I prefer analog versus digital effects in all aspects of life.

    YOU are overrated. :)

    but really, doesn't everything that's mainstream become overrated by the time marketing people get their hands on it? how do we ever know if we like something because it's actually good, or because we've been subliminally told it's good?

    it's the consumer culture paradox: i feel ashamed to like the same thing everybody else likes, and then like a creeper when i'm the only one to like something. THERE'S NO ROOM FOR MODERATION ANYMORE.

    ps. i would buy a pyramid scheme from you!
