Randomly updated and mostly about music videos, Florida, and anything involving sequins, spandex, or saxophone solos.
On occasion, I address something of relative importance.

Cliches

Have any of you out there attended a corporate meeting and found it to be the most tedious, inconsequential, borderline nihilistic experience of your entire lives? Does your head clog-up with mental anguish as various co-workers drone on about their past work experiences with the pompous posturings of the most loathsome kind of suck-up: the clueless one? Have you found yourself desperately struggling to hold onto the tenous threads of your identity as they instantly unravel within the confines of a conference room? Do you try to recall who you were this morning when you sang Joe Cocker’s ”You Can Leave Your Hat On” gleefully off-key before you were stolen away into the dark pit of mandatory madness? Do you try to gather up your individuality and hold it closely by focusing your gaze on anything remotely not related to sales figures or team building or blah blah blah I will now unctuously ask an unnecessary question about the minutae that my job entails in the hopes that anyone cares and discover that the only thing you can devote all of your attention to without looking suspicious is your magenta glitter nail polish? And you start to envision this bright, edgy lacquer as the only definitive characteristic that is buoying you up in this dehumanizing dross of office culture? And you start singing metal ballads and Big Boi to yourself or thinking about something really sordid like last night’s episode of Baggage or how James Franco is actually going to saw off his arm in that new movie and how that seems like a comparably better option than spending 2 more minutes in this room? Just checking.
