Wine here,
Yesterday I had a few new “bands” brought to my attention by friend of the blog Alex “Cody” Chilton and I felt the need for a rant. In particular I will be examining the “bands” the Millionaires and Brokencyde. First of all before you listen and/or watch to what I’ve posted below please note [...]

To The Youth of Today

“None of those people is an extra. They’re all the leads of their own stories. They have to be given their due.”
Wine here,
OK so it’s no secret I’m a big fan of existentialism especially representations of this philosophy in popular culture because let’s be honest who really reads Kierkegaard, Nietzsche, or Kakfa (other than Whiskey) anymore? Well to make a long convoluted explanation short, I’ve been searching for something modern that can begin to explore the [...]

“I should be on trial for everything I haven’t done”
3rd book of the summer…
on the surface, it’s a tale about an unfair and unsubstantiated trial. but really, it’s a metaphor for (commentary on?) existentialism. whoa.

“What does God want? Does God want goodness or the choice of goodness? Is a man who chooses the bad perhaps in some way better than a man who has the good imposed upon him?”
For my summer reading, I have decided to skip the longer novels that I’ve tackled in summers past, and focus instead on a bunch of classics that I’ve been meaning to read for sometime now. I am half way through this one. The writing and language is SO original and interesting, once you get used [...]

Arbitrary Milestones!
Wine here again,
Seriously are you all getting sick of hearing from me? I think I am! So, I finally broke down and decided to get our 100th post out of the way as I’ve been too afraid the past few days to write this one and not make it special or how Whiskey and I [...]

Currently Obsessed
Wine here,
I just noticed that we’ve (and by we, I mean I) been posting far too many introspective posts and not enough about the things that keep us distracted from all of the real things we should probably focus on. So here you go, these are the things that have been keeping me far, far [...]

“Often the best parts of life were when you weren’t doing anything at all, just mulling it over, chewing on it. I mean, say that you figure that everything is senseless, then it can’t be quite senseless because you are aware that it’s senseless and your awareness of senselessness almost gives it sense. You know what I mean? An optimisitc pessimism.” -Bukowski
Well hey there readers! Whiskey here. I’m eating a bagel right now with a glass of water. I’ve had a terrible craving for a scotch and soda, of late. That might be because I just finished some Bukowski. If you’ve ever read him, you’d understand. Annnnnyway. It’s been a while, no? Let’s recap the latest [...]

My Keffiyah Is More Popular Than Me aka Grad Weekend pt. 1
Wine here,
So Whiskey is off getting his gown ironed and you know…graduating, and I needed to make an update basically because we took SO many pictures last night that we just have to split them up! Here we go:
We spent most of the night at Steinkellers and I got there just in time to witness [...]

Procrastination Reflection
Wine here,
Not everyone has to travel to another continent to find themselves. Trust me, I know. This weekend is graduation for all the folks down at Miami and I wanted to procrastinate a bit and reflect on this little “study abroad” I’ve done this year since my own graduation. I’ll admit it, I was really [...]
