to the internetz, rejoice!
so i finally got internet in my apartment again, which means two things. well three actually:
ability to skype. this has been sorely missed as ive not been able to talk to lindsay, chat with henry at a time when events were occurring that sorely needed chatting about, and talk to my brother (and new tumblr user! yes, i my minions grow. go follow him.)
ability to look at the rest of the internet....
“Some people spit metaphors, but I spit metafives.”
– Bobb’e J. Thompson freestyling on Carson Daly. That line was so good that I googled it to see if he got it from some other rapper. Not only was that line not in Google, he straight up invented the term “metafive” on the spot. (via dalasverdugo)

henry chronicles why we have a republican sex dungeon and the worst star trek show ever to thank for obama’s presidential bid. damn this is weird and funny.
