Sometimes I Want to Punch My Generation in the Face

So...HowsTheLiving.com is now live.  And President Obama is here in Memphis today (!!!!).  And the Grizzlies just finished up a crazy-ass, never-seen-anything-like-it NBA season.  And the river's slowly receding.  And there are about a hundred other things I could write about today...

But I'll be damned if it's not one of those rare, rare days when I look at my keyboard and think, 'I want nothing to do with you right now.'  So instead I'll lazily post this video which made me want to vomit.

Happy Monday!

    I was soooo proud of BTW! Every single NPR hourly news report mentioned that President Obama was there and how wonderful the school is doing. I especially liked that they focused on how this poor public school enacted positive reforms and was successful - so now let's do that all over the country!

    I know that's not what you posted about, but I had to add my thoughts : )

    Well, that was definitely the most exciting part of the post! The whole city had been cheering those kids on and there was a lot of excitement here when they won. :) I watched his speech live on WMCTV 5 and it was incredible (as usual!). Pretty damn exciting day here in Memphis!! :D

    FOR REAL!!!! I do not understand this at all. In my mind, this is basically the same thing as not knowing that the earth is round. People should be born with a certain amount of knowledge in tact, and being able to name all four Beatles should be one of those things. :)

    They were asked who that "Fab Four" are, and how many members were in the Beatles. Five!? Really. Really?

    IT HURTS TO THINK ABOUT. :( (Although, I guess if you're so out of it you would think there were five people in the Fab Four, then I shouldn't judge you as representative of the general public in terms of intellect. And yet...nonetheless!!)

    hahaha I have to admit: if someone would pop a camera right in my face asking me about something I'd sure know any other given time I would have no idea in this very moment
