In case you haven’t already figured it out, I’m in a romantic mood today. Tomorrow Jeff and I are heading down to San Antonio to celebrate 7 years together, in the city where we fell in love. Seven years tomorrow! I can’t believe it’s been so long. :)
I love this. This is from one of my best friend’s tumblr… and later that night, he proposed! How great is that?! Congrats Lauren and Jeff! Love to you both.
I get shivers just reading down this list. Partially from reflecting on the music itself and partly because I have spent a shit-ton of money on albums in the last ten years.
I agree with the list for the most part, which is a pretty bold statement as these types of lists have a tendency to be highly irritating. Especially if it’s something you’re specifically invested in; like discovering and appreciating music.
I suppose my biggest personal beef is that my bestie Ryan Adams doesn’t pop up until 38, but I suppose I can appreciate it’s placements as there are plenty of other solid albums before it (minus 50 Cent’s “Get Rich or Die Trying.”)
Besides, who doesn’t love Kid A?

What do you think?
Boom: If you haven’t heard, Pabst Brewing Co. is for sale, and the asking price is $300 million. In order to get there, they are taking pledges from fans and once the company is actually bought out, you will get a certificate of ownership. Perfect for my college-age little brothers.

Runner-up:
“It was only then, after I had removed the saddle from the moose, that I noticed the sweet sound of the warblers singing while perched on the fence post reminding me that unlike New York, Wasilla would always have my heart which not only pumps red, but also white and blue.”
—Brian Breighner
Second place:
“Here’s a little news flash for your Department of Media: Superman’s parents chose life and he was adopted in small-town USA by real Americans who run our factories, harvest our meat-bearing animals, and wave Old Glory down at the courthouse and the churches, not in Washington D.C. by cynical power-brokers and liberal scientists.”
—Steve Aydt
and finally…
First place:
“One night after a long day of campaigning, when the haters had made my spirits reach a nadir, I looked into Todd’s eyes, which were as blue as the stripes on Old Glory, and too representing truth and loyalty, and he looked back at me with a twinkle of determination which I hadn’t seen since I told him my goal of having another baby in my fifties and naming it Tron, then did I know for sure that I could carry on, like he, and we, have done together all of these years on this long, Iron Dog race of a marriage that is at once grueling and celestial, onerous and majestic.”
—Ann Sensenbrenner

Hilarious. Read the rest here. They are worth it.
