the grind, day infinity

Remember how I said today was going to be better? I should just stop making predictions. Remember when I said there’s no way the dot-com bubble would burst (and I put “burst” in air quotes)? Remember when I told my brother that he could fly if he just got a start from a high-enough place and then flapped really hard? And then a year later, when I told him that if he strapped enough bottle rockets to his wheelchair he could jump over the vat of glass at the recycling center? So much for predictions!
Today wasn’t better, is all I’m saying.
And remember when I said that the Daily Show writers rule before I even saw what the Colbert Report writers had to offer?
Well, the Daily Show writers still rule, so I’m not so bad. Many people can rule. And now that I think about it, maybe my brother just wasn’t using enough bottle rockets. Back to the drawing board on that one.

Hey, remember when “viral” was a bad thing? Me too. So tonight my plan was to discover the next hot video, but YouTube is so mired in worthlessness that I’ll have to save it for another day. Instead I found some really crappy videos for you. Sure, the ability for anyone and everyone to upload video is what makes YouTube great, but I submit that this is simultaneously its worst quality. Have you ever randomly watched some of this stuff? Here’s a representative sampling:
Kids these days. All buff and vain.
Ah, the wannabe jackasses. At least Johnny Knoxville and the gang are good at pretending shit is real. Here’s a tip: It doesn’t make things more interesting or realistic for you to interview the “witnesses” afterwards.
Get her some water, or something. At least that one’s short.
