How To Be Considerate On The Internet (via Top 25 Thought Catalog Articles of 2011)
I like this. I remember learning these things the hard way, back when I was 12 and gaming it up online with people twice my age. I think it’s where I learned most of my communication skills, and it’s going to be where the next generation learns theirs as well. Worth reading.

Life can be magnificent and overwhelming — that is the whole tragedy. Without beauty, love, or danger it would almost be easy to live.

Christmas presents:
Dad
- Five Cigars. What the hell, right?
- Warrior Politics: Why Leadership Demands a Pagan Ethos. My dad’s about 60, but he’s not retired and I know he still wants to write a book of his own. I read this a couple of days ago and love the history references. It’s subtle, but I hope he finds something in here to bring his ambitions back. He’s so successful and intelligent yet he’s at the age where it’s easy to become complacent. His biggest career move could still be ahead of him.
Mom
- Bath Stuff: I really can’t even imagine how she’s able to work so hard all the time, she’s who I think of whenever I’m struggling with an assignment. I respect her work ethic, but I can see what it does to her. She just needs to be reminded that she deserves to relax.
Matt
- Pour Homme, Van Cleef & Arpels: A pretty highly rated cologne. Cost me a shit-ton. The idea here is that he’ll use it to get out and meet people. He’s such a charming guy, I really want him to find somebody that can make him happy.
And of course special playlists for my close friends!

greyscale: anti-Zen
anti-Zen
When I was in high school, I had a conversation with my sister about what a waste of time and effort prom was, and how high school in general is a really shitty time. We laughed at the fact that people, adults, would say things like “my high school years were the best years of my life.” Just wait until your first semester, she said. These are the best years of your life. You’re an adult but with no real responsibilities other than school. I knew things had to get better.
I’m starting to think she was wrong. College hasn’t been anything special at all so far. Although I’m not even half way through it, I have a good feeling it’s not going to change drastically. In fact, I’m starting to think that things will always seem shitty until I’m put in a shittier situation.
When I was in middle school, I used to think, dang, it was really great worrying about nothing but my spelling book and having time to play every day in elementary school.
When I was in high school, I thought, shit, middle school was great. Everybody was so innocent and I didn’t have to put up with fitting in, the workload, ordrama.
Now, I think, fuck. At least in high school I had the capacity for complex emotions.
And I know in the near future, my only thought will be, haha, those college years were great. Back when I was young and resilient enough that I could drink heavily without a crippling hangover the next morning.
It gets better, man. You have to work hard at it.

Instead of saying “cool story bro” try these out:
1) Fascinating discourse, chum.
2) Riveting fable, comrade.
3) Intriguing anecdote, brethren.
4) Perpetuating argument, colleague.
5) Sweet saga, yo.
6) Waste of time, jerk.
7) Spellbinding reiteration there, my chumly companion.
8) Phantasmagorical novelization, oh great one.
9) Interesting intellect, imbecile.
10) Trepidating boar, fetus
11) Ballin’ gossip dawg!Fascinating discourse, chum
