    Quitting cold turkey is really rough. I take a week off several times a year to reset my tolerance. I usually have 2 to 5 days of bad headaches and severe lethargy. It really makes a huge difference on my mood and sleep schedule for the next couple of months, but its not easy

















  • A good national anthem should be a bad song. Think about it. A soldier crying and saluting an objectively brilliant piece that makes you want to cry? Meaningless. The song makes everyone want to cry. But that same soldier crying to a mediocre 19th century drinking song with the most forgettable orchestral backdrop you've ever heard? Damn, he must really love his country to be moved by that piece of shit


  • I have a theory that national anthems are bad by design. If its a good song, there's no patriotism in liking it. Its a bop! Of course you like it!

    But a bad song, a bad song is ripe with opportunities to flex your love of country. Its a contest! Look at how brainwashed I am! Look at how much I'm moved by the bad song!

    That's why you'll never see any national anthem on anyone's ipod (Hendrix excluded). It sucks by design
