Though voyeurism is the absolute worst thing in our culture (i.e sports, mma fighting, porn, etc) That being said, I am a complete fucking sucker for youtube near death compilations. Monthly installments on either Fail Department or Fail Force One are really all i look forward to in regards to a ‘tv show’ or something that would fill that criteria of viewership in myself.

I watch a lot of random stuff on YouTube—crunchy gori gori foot reflexology, makeup tutorials (preferably featuring drag queens), noisy chiropractic adjustments—oh and the occasional food video, too. Recently The YouTube algorithm goddesses decided I would like to watch a competition-elimination show about butchery, and they were right! This extremely niche show on the History channel is shockingly entertaining? If you like watching animals being disassembled, that is!

If I were to recommend any of the Youtube channels I watch most frequently, I would feel irresponsible. It's a lot of crime scene clean-up, thrift-store vloggers, raw police interrogation footage, at-home cyst-lancing, segments of "The Oprah Show" home video-taped with a camcorder off the TV in the 80s, etcetera. Maybe less shameful--but just as dangerous?--is my affection for Eddie Vedder. He had just quit stage-diving, I think, when I saw Pearl Jam play Boston Garden on their "Vitalogy" tour in April, 1994, a few days after Kurt Cobain died.

A man on twitter once said “Moby Dick is the biggest indicator of intelligence. Most people can’t even get through the first chapter” or something like that. I turned into an avid cetologist (new word. Cetology is the study of whales?) reading this book. Not a bad sentence in the entire novel. the greatest story ever told. It’s so fucking sick. It is my bible. 2 separate times in my life I have read this book to a girl and gotten laid because of it. The last time was an actual 3 way. Shout out Herman Melville and my friend Curtis Eggleston for forcing me to read this.

1986 film starring Arnold Schwarzenegger. Nobody saw this film. I and 3 of my friends and 2 of my ex girlfriends have seen it. It’s a shakespeare level masterpiece. Action set pieces, 10/10, Arnolds WITTY AS SHIT one liners have never been more out of place, and the cinematography can only be compared to the love child of Tarkosvky and Roger Deakins high on crystal meth. It’s the sickest.

In most peoples eyes, blink 182 is this fun little band that wrote all the small things and their drummer is now wheeling a Kardashian (or she’s wheeling him and devouring his soul, who knows) But people forget that after the breakup in 2004. Tom Delonge, frontman of blink 182 started his own ‘supergroup’ Angels and Airwaves. 2009 the sophomore album ‘I-empire’ released. I regard it as the best production of all time. The synths, the vocal chain, the sampling, the ascending guitar riffs soaked in ¼ delay. It’s larger than U2. It truly is some of the most inventive rock music I’ve ever heard. Soaring confidence. It’s a strange thing to attempt to convey that this to anybody, but I promise it’s some of the best shit ever.
