Dancing With the Stars
I am so sick of this Dancing With the Stars bullshit popularity. It seems like it is always on tv, or it is being talked about on other tv shows. It's annoying to see washed-up actors and other D-list celebrities try to dance. It's annoying to have that crazy judge screaming in her high-pitched voice about nothing. Everything about it makes me sick, especially when they are a couple great shows on television right now that no one ever talks about, such as Sons of Anarchy. Even a decent show like Friday Night Lights is now only on a specific DirectTV station! It's a travesty. Yet it is kind of funny when Jimmy Kimmel makes fun of these assholes on Dancing With the Stars:

Split Lip
Super stoked to see Split Lip. So many bands these days owe a lot to them. They really helped shape that entire "Midwestern Emo" sound that other bands like The Get Up Kids and Braid also get grouped into.

Fun At the Grocery Store
I just took my grandma out to the grocery store with me today. Things got crazy.
This story starts off with me coming home from a 2 week vacation to find that my grandma has no food in her fridge. The only things she does have in there are some milk and eggs that I got for her before I left, and were now spoiled. When I asked her what was up, if my uncle took her shopping when I was gone, she got offended and started to freak out on me. She was crying and yelling, all directed at me for confronting her instead of being directed at my uncle for not taking her to get food. She was exclaiming that she eats and she eats well, yet I know that isn't true since I am the one that has been cooking for every night and that she wouldn't have cooked for herself while I was gone.
Anyways, I finally take her to the store today. I told her to grab her purse and meet me outside while I pulled the car out of the garage. After a couple minutes of me waiting outside for her, I decided to go back in since she wasn't showing up. She was occupied with putting her money into her purse, and then putting her entire purse into my laptop bag that I had been missing!!!
"Grandma! What are you doing? That's my bag for my computer. Why are you putting your purse in it? Why do you have it to begin with?"
This was met with her waving her arm at me, and her telling me to mind my own business! I didn't want things to escalate, so I left it at that.
We finally make it to Stop & Shop. Myself, my grandma (who was wearing these huge wrap around black sunglasses that made it look like she was a blind woman), and my laptop bag.
We first went to the recycling center, as I had a bag full of empty water bottles to turn in. The machine in there for plastics was broken, and there was this good looking Mexican girl standing there looking pissed off cause she had a full bin of plastics. I started to talk to her and was joking around about it. She was receptive to my advances and right as I was about to ask her to grab a drink with me or something, my grandma steps up and yells at me to stop wasting time! My grandma ruined my game. I think the only reason she did this too was due to the girl being Mexican!!!!
So now I'm walking up and down the aisles of the store with my borderline racist grandmother, and she starts demanding that she be the one to push the cart. By this time I am pissed off, frustrated, tired, and annoyed. "Sure grandma, take the cart." As soon as I gave her the cart though, she immediately pushed it right into the heels of this fat lady that standing in the middle of the aisles. Now this lady was fat, and blocking the way of everyone like she owned the aisles, but my grandmother did run into her. I immediately told the lady that I was sorry and she just gave me the cold shoulder with an air of attitude. That is when my grandma then hit her again with the cart! nothing hard of course, just kind of bumping into her. This lady then had the nerve to yell at my grandma!
"Watch where you are pushing that thing!"
I was just looking for a fight to pick, and she fucked with the wrong dude.
"Hey lady. I just said I was sorry, and I am. But you don't have the right to talk to my grandmother like that. Sorry she accidentally bumped into you, but maybe if you didn't fucking take up the entire aisle while you are just standing around reading how many calories a box of Oreos have then you wouldn't get hit. Shit lady, you aren't exactly the most slim woman in the world, so let me give you some advice. Just put the Oreos back. And don't fucking stand around wasting up space."
That is when my grandma and I continued walking, leaving that woman just staring at us with her mouth wide open, speechless.
She's fucking out, I'm fucking in.

Drown by Junot Diaz
I finally got around to reading this book, widely acclaimed as a great collection of tales that focus on different aspects of a Dominican immigrant and his family. The 10 specific stories in this book all center around the same characters, but tells different stories from different character's perspectives. I found some of the stories of life in the Dominican to be interesting, yet I also grew a little tired of hearing about adolescent life growing up in the city. The most intriguing part of this book for me though was hearing about a father's move away from the country and culture he was familiar with to the United States to eventually try to make something with his life. I found this to be the most captivating aspects of the entire book.

Kanye West - "We Were Once a Fairy Tale"
I think Kanye West is out of his fucking mind, and I love that about him. True, he is indeed a huge asshole, but I'm willing to let that slide. His thing with Taylor Swift for example. First of all, no one should give a fuck about the MTV Video Awards anyways. Second of all, no one should give a fuck about Taylor Swift. She has millions of dollars and is the hottest shit around, so I'm sure she got over this shit really fast. That song of hers is kind of catchy though!
Anyways, point of the story....Kanye is a nut, Taylor Swift is hot (but too tall and that freaks me out), Spike Jonze is awesome:

Pitchfork Media
Dear Pitchfork Media,
I understand how one's musical tastes can change from 2002 to nearly 2010. Don't get me wrong, my personal tastes have changed dramatically. Yet what I do not understand is how a respectable music website can give an album a perfect 10.0 in 2002, and then have the same album rank 100 of the top 500 albums of our current decade. Basically you are telling me that a perfect album in 2002 has very little relevance today, and that there are 99 better albums since? I just do not understand it.
The album I am referring to is "Source Tags & Codes" by And You Will Know Us By The Trail of Dead. This is an amazing album that is even more amazing because it was put out in 2002! Yet I guess Pitchfork Media has forgot all about that. Instead, they are just jumping on what is popular now and backtracking on their previous thoughts and ideals.
Love,
Devin

Doooooomriders!!!!!
I don't know if I made this clear earlier when I posted the link to their new album. Doomriders is the best fucking band in the world right now. I'm listening to the new album right now and I just ripped the sleeves right off of my teeshirt and I instantly grew an awesome mustache and tonight I am going out and breaking some shit, maybe another dude's face (I might break some shit, but not really another dude's face). Get pumped! Ride or Die!!!!!

Worst Commercial Ever
Seriously, what the hell is AT&T doing getting Tyler Hansbrough to be in this dumbass commercial? First of all, no one gives a shit about Psycho T. He was a soft college basketball player who will be the 9th man on the bench for the Indiana Pacers, who are a soft ass team anyways. Second of all, no one gives a shit about Psycho T finding a lost dog. I didn't have any respect for Tyler in the first place, but I have even less respect for him now.
Interesting fact: Greg Oden's high school team beat Tyler Hansbrough's high school team 56-40.
