OBEY THE TENETS OF REALITY, TV MONSTER!

About Me

I'd like to meet:

Old friends, long gone. Fellow Carolina football fanatics. Others who understand good film. Somebody who can teach me to make a video game as good as Final Fantasy XII.

On a Related Note

Am I the only person who doesn't want to get married? It seems like every day, somebody else announces an engagement or says they're going out of town to attend a wedding. No offense to those who wish...

Chug-a-Doug

I love my life right now. Seriously, it's fucking great. It'll be better in three days once exams are over, but everything is going so well right now. Just thought I'd dip in with this and let you kid...

Best of 2006: Music

2006 was a weird year for music. My tastes have grown and changed so much over the year that a lot of bands that I used to love have fallen off my radar, and music that I never thought I'd listen to h...

Best of 2006: It Begins

2006 was an absolutely fantastic year for film, music, tv, video games, sports, and pretty much any other kind of entertainment you can think of. I love the end of the year best of lists, mostly becau...

My Conquistador

The Fountain is the most beautiful film of 2006. It also might be the most moving film of the past half-decade. While I'm kind of putting myself out there by admitting this, the movie made me cry on t...

Wide Left

So, I heard there was this game today. Something about some Carolina Gamecocks. And I'm pretty sure they beat some team named Clemson. 31-28 was the final score, I think. Yeah. Must have been a great ...

Perfection, It's Perfection

I bought two albums today, and I'm going to discuss both of them. The first is one I've already owned, but it's a re-release of what I'm going to go on record and call the finest record of last year, ...

No. 1 vs No. 2

So, Ohio St. and Michigan have finally battled it out, and Ohio St. came out on top. It was, for my money, the best game I've watched all year. I wanted Michigan to win (as I hate "The" Ohio St.) but ...

In the event of non-interest

At the start of my fresh move back here to Columbia, I was hating the Five Points. I felt like I only saw the same people out, every night. It was, let's be honest, a bit boring.But oh, what a differe...
