Some Things I Liked Last Year - TV

The dust has settled on 2011, and personally it was an interesting one. I went on one of the trips of my life, hitting Vegas, New York, Chicago and LA with my closest friends. I got a new job, and a new place to live.  It did not stop me from indulging in my favourite games, films, TV shows and podcast.s, a few of which I am now going to write about below.

Please note, this is not a best of list. This is a “Things I liked” list, so the order doesn’t matter, and if you think I am wrong or an idiot, write your own list.

A Conversation with my 16 Year Old Self

Welcome to a world of wonder... and sadness, and talk about jerking off. It's me! talking to me at 16!

Why we’ll never be BFF’s

A short list of reasons I hate you

You're leaving the bar???

Sometimes I like to leave bars earlier than my friends. Sacrilege I know, but I get tired, or broke, or my friends are all on drugs or hitting on girls while I sit and wait.

When I  would leave said bar, I would get statements of shock and disbelief that I wasn't staying out until 6am. This used to happen quite a bit, and I was always confused as to why. I had already had a great time with my friends, and the shit they would usually indulge in past midnight was out of my area of comfort.

This is basically a long way of saying I wrote a short and crappy parody of The Road. I haven't read it in a while so probably didn't nail anything too specific. But I enjoyed the general lack of sentence structure

Liverpool Live Blog - Match 1

Pre Game: It’s the first game of the season, a wonderful time of the year. Not only are there new signings, late nights and multiple a games a week. No it is also the return of the glorious Multi-Bet. Tonight’s Multi Bet comes in the form of two semi realistic options, and one blind bet as per the traditions of drinking among friends. We will be keeping an eye on these throughout the night

My New Ed Hardy Design Bro!

Recently I was out with my family when I saw a small child walking with his dad, who looked like a walking PSA for steroids, in matching Ed Hardy clothes

“Look” I said, “He’s grooming his kid to be a douche like him”

My family stared at me. My brilliant snark was lost on them.

“What’s wrong with them?” My mother said

I was shocked. “Those fucking Ed Hardy clothes” I said, “Only huge pricks wear them”

They all stopped walking.

“Your sister wears Ed Hardy” My dad said

“Oh” I said. We kept walking in silence, as we do.
