Tumblr won’t let me copy your reply.
Anyway, there’s this cliche that people always say about male standup comics, which is that every single one of them really wants to be a rockstar but they can’t play music so they do standup instead. I think it maybe holds less true now what with alt comics and stuff but I think it is generally a pretty solid observation. If you went up to Dane Cook and told him he could trade places with like Green Day or whatever he would totally do it.
I always think of that when I see Brian Williams doing his thing. I don’t like Brian Williams because I don’t think he’s funny enough to be trying to bill himself as a comic and I don’t like Jon Stewart because I don’t think he’s insightful and explicit enough to bill himself as a journalist and I tend to think people should just kind of stay in their lanes on stuff like this. But more to the point, I think if anyone told Brian Williams he could have a half-hour Comedy Central special and like a three-episode arc on Louis but he would have to never be an anchor again he would probably think pretty hard about it.
I heard that one time Brian Williams was on Morning Joe and entertained them by making fun of the NYT’s who had just decided to write something about Brooklyn being Brooklyn and Joe Scarborough and his crew laughed and laughed, because the NYT’s is so out of touch because, Brooklyn is right there you guise, haven’t you ever heard of the internet HELLO! NYT man are you out of touch compared to the wily gets it of Joe Scarborough.
Anyway, I don’t like any of these people and I still read the NYT.

“Duke University Press ends its influential Series Q this month. It has been an impressive ride since the first book in the series: Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick’s landmark 1993 collection of essays, Tendencies. Rereading her introduction, “Queer and Now,” I am reminded of the potent sense of possibility opened up 20 years ago by the idea of queer theory.”
“I want a person with aids for president and I want a fag for vice president and I want someone with no health insurance and I want someone who grew up in a place where the earth is so saturated with toxic waste that they didn’t have a choice about getting leukemia. I want a president that had an abortion at sixteen and I want a candidate who isn’t the lesser of two evils and I want a president who lost their last lover to aids, who still sees that in their eyes every time they lay down to rest, who held their lover in their arms and knew they were dying. I want a president with no airconditioning, a president who has stood on line at the clinic, at the dmv, at the welfare office and has been unemployed and layed off and sexually harassed and gaybashed and deported. I want someone who has spent the night in the tombs and had a cross burned on their lawn and survived rape. I want someone who has been in love and been hurt, who respects sex, who has made mistakes and learned from them. I want a Black woman for president. I want someone with bad teeth and an attitude, someone who has eaten that nasty hospital food, someone who crossdresses and has done drugs and been in therapy. I want someone who has committed civil disobedience. And I want to know why this isn’t possible. I want to know why we started learning somewhere down the line that a president is always a clown: always a john and never a hooker. Always a boss and never a worker, always a liar, always a thief and never caught.”
There is a guy I've been hooking up/dating for the past month and we're not official or anything but he has a " good friend" coming into town this weekend and he can't hang out. Should I be worried that I'm the "other guy" or concerned?
should you be worried? worried? if you are both still dating other people I would assume that you would be ok with him doing this, if not you should probably tell him you are not ok dating other people anymore and want to be monogamous.
your question indicates to me that you often doom relationships large and small with passive-aggression. stop it.

“State Sen. Stacey Campfield says he was speaking “on the fly” about the origins of AIDS and its transmission during a radio interview that now has “some people going crazy.” Still, the Knoxville Republican said his assertions, including the possibility that AIDS originated from a man having sexual intercourse with a monkey, reasonably reflect what others have said in researching and writing on the subject.
“I’m not a historian on AIDS,” he said in an interview Friday. “But I’ve read and seen what other people have read and seen, and those facts are out there.”
[…]
“My understanding is that it is virtually — not completely, but virtually — impossible to contract AIDS through heterosexual sex,” Campfield said on the radio show.” —

I challenge this statement: "hairy bag of wet oatmeal." Unless you've been bathing in Rogaine.

I take that back
I’d get some fish or a nice aquarium with a python I could later release in the wild.
