Uncle Jesse

I just happened to come across an infomercial for "Classic Soft Rock." They happened to be showing a clip from the Beach Boy's "Kokomo." In this video, they were showing a close up of Uncle Jesse rocking out on the drums. Man, I miss Jesse & The Rippers.

Disgraced

The U.S. Men's National Team played today against arch-rival Mexico in the final of the Gold Cup. We lost 5 - 0 in a most disgraceful performance. While it was our "B" team out there, there is no excuse to get beat so bad. Ever.

Hopefully the World Cup Qualifier against Mexico, at the Azteca, on August 12th will have a different result.

Anyways, here's a video from a game that I was at, when USA really gave it to Mexico.

2007 Gold Cup Final at Soldier Field, Chicago, IL:

The Flaming Lips @ Pitchfork Fest...

...perfectly described in one picture, taking by my boy Will:



It looks like the stage is exploding.

Look at Megan Davey pointing at the stage, her mind exploding.

Ben

Ben is the most fucked up kid I have ever met. Here is a picture of him:



He is a coworker of mine. I was really confused about this kid at first. When I started my job, he was working but I barely talked to him. Then he disappeared. Now he is back, almost a year later. I think he got abducted by aliens, because this kid is fucking out of his mind. Here are some basic stats about him:

-Ben is 5 ft 6 inches.
-Ben lives in Larchmont, New York
-Ben collects pictures from the 70's of dudes making out with other dudes in nightclubs, such as Studio 54
-Ben goes to college, and majors in international relations
-Ben is afraid of lightning
-Ben's phone number is 914-536-3940
-Ben's favorite movie is Top Gun, followed closely by Eyes Wide Shut (he told me that Tom Cruise was dreamy)
-Ben is related to John Jay, the first Chief Justice of the United States (John Jay is his father)
-Ben is fucking crazy

On a ranking of the top 5 crazy kids I have ever met, Ben is number 1. And number 4. He is indeed that crazy.

I am afraid that he might stab me one of these days. Either that, or I will punch him in the face. Until then, I will continue to just yell out his name whenever I see him, and give him high fives throughout the day.
