I want to write a novel set in the future where everything only exists because of competition reality shows. Every resturaunt opened, home owned, child adopted.
We’re very far away from that, but also far closer than anyone should be comfortable with.
How Come You Don't Want Me
Tegan And Sara
They are the masters of capturing that teenaged angst and uncertainty that on some level sticks with us our entire lives, even if to varying changing degrees, and translating it into great fucking music.

Do I:
Listen to music

Giants open first-of-its-kind Social Media Headquarters at AT&T Park →

The Giants, in partnership with Peet’s Coffee and Tea, opened the @Café (pronounced At Café) — the first-of-its-kind social media headquarters at AT&T Park. Located behind the centerfield bleachers, this walk-in café will serve as a gathering spot for fans who want to follow the worldwide social media chatter about the team, players and all things Giants and Major League Baseball.
San Francisco is just wonderful.

Giants finally have a series at home!
I want to brooms out on Wednesday.
The Padres suck.
We need some wins in June.
Family and friends at the park tonight, me and the brothers tomorrow night, we’ll bring the energy.
- Me: I feel sick. I was up until 5 stress eating all the sugar in here
- Mother: How about you have some self control
- Me: How about you have some bitch control
- Mother: *through laughter* Well that's no way to talk to your mother

I just got a hug from our incredibly sweet old lady neighbor who was dropping off pies for my dad and brother-in-law for father’s day at my parents place.
How could anyone not want to live in this area?
Wish You Were Here - 2011 - Remaster
Pink Floyd
There’s a lot going on here I question, but simply, if people stream Wish You Were Here on Spotify one million times they’ll let us stream their entire catalog.
I’m cool with it because it’s an amazing song I listen to anyways, but would hate to see this become a trend.
The Giants are SERIOUSLY bumming me out.
I guess I'm not buying an XBOX
I can’t believe it but … there seem to be so many more reasons to buy a PS4.
Why would I buy a more expensive, very creepy, and closed off console? Halo? I’d rather have Kingdom Hearts 3 or the next Smash Bros.
In fact … has the time come where I don’t buy a game console? I don’t really have money right now. When I start to make money after this semester I’ll be busy with real life.
Nahhhh.
I know plenty of people that work high up 50+ hour week jobs that couldn’t get though the week without their FIFA or CoD.
Gamer ‘till the end.
Just not on XBOX.
Cheesey, but I can finally say it;
Just signed up for my last semester of undergrad classes.

Wireless controlled LED lights. Among many great things to do with this, you can use IFTTT to make the lights change to the color of the album cover of whatever Last.FM track you’re scrobbling right then.
$200 bucks and worth it.
I Don't Hate Instagram, But I Hate What It's Done to the Internet
My Facebook wall, Tumblr Searches, Twitter feed, they’re all just Instagrams other feeds. You can’t escape it. Everything has become 50% Instagram, and 50% whatever it actually is. I enjoy Instagram, I just wish I only had to see it when I was on Instagram. Which has little purpose these days because when I open it I’ve already seen every photo on my Facebook wall.
I understand wanting to share things. It’s what makes social media social. I too will occasionally post a photo from Instagram somewhere else, say this Tumblr. I’ll as least take the time (45 seconds, maybe?) to make separate posts instead of having Instagram do it for me. I do it to have a higher quality image and because I add a white border to my Instagram posts. They can’t force me to make my photos square. I wish others would do it because I hate seeing a billion hashtags below photos on Tumblr.
In fact I hate seeing it on Instagram. Half of my Instagram feed is single words with ‘#’ in front. For a visual platform, nothing could be less visually pleasing. Seems like it would be simple for Instagram to hide hashtags, so that the photos are still searchable by them, but they don’t take up a block of text as big, or bigger than the photo itself. Maybe just a “show tags” button that reveals them under each.
“I felt it in my thighs, Before it even inclined. And now we’re walking up, A steep hill, it’s pretty steep. We are hiiiikiiiing, maariiiin.”
—The gist of our hiking song. Sung to Tegan and Sara’s ‘Nineteen’
