I swear my absolute favorite to go back and reread is Order of the Phoenix. It hits all the right notes page after page. Really starts to build the total shit storm that is coming for Harry and his allies, while also setting the chess board for the rest of the series. Umbridge is a fantastic secondary antagonist that gets under your skin from the jump and Fudge’s idiocy irritates me to no end. Fantastic book.
Been living on my own since August. It is a complete blast and refreshing as hell. While I’m not downtown in a big city, I’m next to one of the bigger shopping centers in town with every amenity I could possibly want. As a plus, it’s also real easy to commute to my job that is downtown.
This is a good list. Good luck on the search and move, my dude. Here’s to hoping you find the perfect place.
I had a fraternity brother of mine claim that he lost his V-Card with a threesome at the campus arboretum. He caught so much flak because everyone thought it was made up.
Well, lo and behold, about a year ago, I was at the bar and overheard a girl telling an eerily similar story. We start chatting and holy shit my dude wasn’t blowin’ smoke up our ass. She verified it was true, spilled the details, and unbeknownst to the other two, she had taken photos. My jaw was on the floor the rest of the evening.
I now take all threesome stories I’m told at face value.
I 110% agree with this. I know for a fact I would be irritated with my friends if they brushed the importance of relationship off like that.
To add another nuanced layer to all this, it becomes ten times shittier when the breakup is caused not by giant red flags, but ones in which there’s an obstacle that can’t be overcome. We all know the typical ones: having kids, moving away, geographical problems, etc. The issues that usually don’t cause resentment, but nonetheless, the breakup has to occur. Those breakups are the worst for getting closure, and seem to negatively impact the dating game even further, since these people might be one compromise from getting back together.
I would totally respect the hell out of homegirl and her roomie if they just started crashing random company events on a regular basis, a la Wedding Crashers. Just using their free time to be degenerates like that would be highly entertaining.
The Lord of the Rings. Fell in love with the detail of Middle Earth when I was younger. I’ve ended up reading all of Tolkien’s work since and the world-building he did is a masterpiece. I think that the world and all the lore he created is one of the greatest literary achievements we’ll see.
The Iliad is another one of my many favorites, too.

Florida is just dumb as hell all the time. Plain and simple.
Also, nice Rust Cohle reference.

“Hey guys, wait up. I gotta duck behind this bar and drop the kids off at the pool real quick.”

19th Hole might have shot his way into a threesome if Underwriting has the hookup. BUCKETS.
Having Waze out during an Uber ride is fucking psychotic.
This is the nuance we need.
Congrats on the rough sex.

Willie, we all know you were just enjoying your roadtrip on the way to your beach vacation.

This is one of the more profound things I have heard in quite sometime. Bravo, CMV.

Venmo those fools into getting you a upgrade.

I’m gonna be real honest, it was a rough week. So my only plan is I’m gonna see how fast I can make a bottle of bourbon disappear.
Name of the Wind is the very next book on my list. I’ve heard good things and this rec has me even more excited.

This is truly getting uncanny now. Where have you been all my life?
