28 September 2007 - The One Where you should FREE EARL

This video doesn't just speak to me, it speaks for me. It also serves as a good history lesson. I had no idea that Earl was behind the fall of the Berlin Wall. I always thought that was Hasselhoff.
Also, if anyone has any idea who Dan Coscino is, don't hesitate to let me know. I'll be greatly indebited if anyone knows who this Darryl Hall falsetto voice belongs to.
Either way, Earl starts up again tonight and you should watch it. If you don't? Do I really need to say "Bad karma?" That's all you need to know. Do good things, good things happen. Do bad things, and you get the pain.

Also, I'll be taking this weekend off from ye olde bloge (gotta embrace the unnecessary vowel). Why? Well, I'm going off on another one of my oh-so-epic weekend trips. The subject of which will remain a secret. But I'll be crossing off at least one thing from my list.
So prepare yourselves for the next entry: The One Where Max Lives Like He Was Dying.

-MGD
Max Davison is a Junior at Claremont McKenna College. He was raised off rural Route 3, out past where the black top ends. He’d walk to church on Sunday mornings and race barefoot down to Johnson’s fence. That’s where he first saw Mary, on that road side picking blackberries. That summer he turned a corner in his soul, down that red dirt road.

1 October 2007 - The One Where Max Lives like he was dying

Now this might sound like a slightly melodramatic overexaggeration, but over this past weekend, I faced a crossroads that changed the structure of my entire being and put me on a completely different path. If you're still reading, I applaud you and ask you to bare with me. Basically, I had a choice: One option meant that I would stay in Auckland and work on my 1500 word " Singin' in the Rain " paper as well as my upcoming in-class essay on Paul Gauguin. The other involved a weekend long trip that would put me in mortal danger and annihilate the balance of my checking account. So the choice was obvious. And I? I took the road less traveled by and decided to drive down to Lake Taupo on Friday afternoon and put off my papers until...well...right now (and I suppose this blog gives me yet another outlet for procrastination). So what was this mystery trip? I was going to wake up on Saturday morning and put my pants on one leg at a time. But once my pants were on, I wa...

HR's Response to the Always Be Closing Speech

--> Dear Mr. Blake- My office has received numerous complaints in response to Tuesday’s speech to the sales team re: the Glengarry leads. These troubling accusations detail inappropriate conduct such as: verbal abuse, workplace bullying, emasculation, damage to self-esteem and emotional health, and the overall fostering of a hostile and cutthroat work environment, all of which flies in the face of the mission statement and core values of Mitch & Murray Real Estate. You employed inflammatory language and certain epithets that you can’t use anymore (and never should have been able to use, if we’re being honest), leading to a speech that was offensive to a multitude of groups, even those not present in the room (Note to self: We should make a concerted effort to hire at least one woman to our sales staff). In another office, any of these infractions would be grounds for termination. Per our company guidelines, however, we are now consideri...

Autopsy Report - Cause of Death: Toxic Masculinity

Marin County Coroner’s Office Name of Deceased: McDowell, Trent Sex: Male Age: 31 T.O.D: 9:31pm Body identified by: The woman the deceased was dating (not “his girlfriend.” She made this distinction - see supplementary notes for details) Autopsy performed by: Randy “Doc Savage” Russell, M.D. EXTERNAL EXAMINATION: The autopsy began at 11:30PM on February 14th. The victim was wearing a Brooks Brothers blazer over an Oakland Raiders t-shirt. Upon removal of the deceased’s clothes, I detected an odor of Tom Ford Noir cologne, applied liberally. Calluses on hands are consistent with lifting free weights and not actual manual labor. Judging by the proportional strength of quadriceps and gluteus maximus muscles, the deceased rarely skipped leg day. Victim has two tattoos. One of the Greek letters “Sigma Chi” across right biceps. On the left anterior deltoid, the second tattoo reads: “Blood, Sweat and Respect. The fi...
