I skipped a day. I also bought Star Wars: The Old Republic. Yeah. It's been installing/patching for 7 hours now and only another 5.94GB to go. I only had one semester until graduation, too. I gave my WoW account to my girlfriend. I even handed over the authenticator. She has a bunch of people at work she can play with and I happened to have a few hundred gold on that server so what the heck. In case you're still reading here's some links:
Best/Worst of WWE RAW 12/26 (With Leather) I used to write for a mid-sized "Wrestling Opinion Board" (we'd call those blogs now) with this guy Brandon back like a decade ago. After being part of that Funhouse sports creation he's now the editor at a site I had already been reading, while I am a 32-year-old college senior. The moral here is that if you want to be a writer, keep writing.
11 Overlooked Deaths of 2011 (Cracked) I love to read this list every year. Also, my homepage is Wikipedia's Recent Deaths, so, maybe I'm weird. Or...MAYBE I just like to be on the cutting edge of important obituaries? Eh? Ehhhh? #imweird
The Year In Swag (A/V Club) I had not seen this article when I decided to start this pop culture+sports+asshole opinions blog but now I at least have something to strive for. Oh hey if you're under 25 this is what swag means so stop using it in every fucking sentence and hashtag because you're starting to sound like Smurfs.
We're at 5.66GB left on the download. I'm so pumped for this game. I love Star Wars. I was checking out the action figures at Wal-Mart earlier and holy shit. $8.96 for a regular Star Wars toy. No, really. That's a WAL-MART PRICE. And it's the same basic 3.75" figure they've ALWAYS SOLD. One person, one or two accessories like a lightsaber or gun, the end. They also had General Grievous masks and spinning lightsabers. Forget arthritis, this is the worst part of getting older.
Have a day.

Adjective Monday
Hey idiots I'm back in the land of internet.
If there's gonna be Black Friday and Cyber Monday, then it's only fair that the month of Consumeristmas ends with Materialistic Monday(We'll have to work on the name next year). Today is the day you ungrateful fucks take back all the stuff someone who cares about you took the time to pick out and trade it in for what you'd rather have. Because that's what the holiday is about.

Goodbye Internet
I'm gonna head to my mom's house for the holiday. The Christmas one. My internet usage is going to be cut by about 95% so I'll mostly just be hanging out with my dog and playing Saint's Row 3 and Dead Island. I wish I had Skyrim but whatever.
Best of 2011
I'm a sharer. I tend to think my opinion is better than everyone else's and so I put together a list of my favorite things on the internet from the past year. And maybe some things not on the internet. Whatever. I don't work for you.

I hate these Tacky Christmas Sweater Parties. Okay, I get it asshole. You're wearing those awful Christmas sweaters ironically. Congrats you're doing what a hipster does, only fatter. If you needed an excuse to drink I could take a look at you and give you three or four before you had to resort to "look how ugly these sweaters are lol ok let's do a SHOT!!!"
the Funbag (Deadspin) Drew's weekly mailbag column, one of the absolute highlights of my week, every week. Drew and I have the same opinions on a lot of topics. Most of the time when I'm reading this column I'll say to myself "wow that was a good joke for that topic, I woulda thought of that, now he beat me to it and I can never use that joke. FUCK YOU DREW MAGARY" or whatever.
Best/Worst WWE Raw (With Leather) Justin is filling in for Brandon this week so you'll get to read all about last night's (pretty good) episode of RAW with 14% less references to Indy Wrestlers and roughly 400% less references to Brandon's Girlfriend Brandon Has A Girlfriend You Guys Did You Know That. I think Brandon is afraid all his Virginia relatives are going to drag him behind a truck or something. I don't blame him, that state is right next to West Virginia and those people...*shudder*
Man Eats Cocaine From Brother's Butt, Dies. No shit I don't know where to start with this one. My friend Alex summed it up best with "Your move, Florida."
NEW ON NETFLIX INSTANT TODAY
Some WWE docs like Dusty Rhodes, Piper, and Ric Flair among others. Also the one about the AWA.If you don't like old wrasslin' or would prefer indie artsy-fartsy things there's also Tiny Furniture and Broken Flowers. Also added was The Flaming Lips: The Fearless Freaks. That has got to be better than the KISS concert they put on here.
Here is a dog.

Rosterbating
7th pick in an eight team league. Yes I know eight teams sucks. It's seven guys from college and they're godawful at NFL too.
Podcasting
I started podcasting as an independent study this semester. If you're wondering if that means I got three 400-level college credits and an A for being a shithead...yes.
Monday Links
When I am not lazy I'm going to link to specific articles I've read and enjoyed that are current. I will try to do this every day but like I said...effort. I will also only be updating this site in the evenings and overnight. That's the hours I'm awake. What do you care I haven't even launched the site yet. I didn't even give Jon the address and I bug the shit out of him about everything.
Best & Worst: WWE TLC (With Leather) With Leather is my new favorite Uproxx site again, now that I don't like the new direction of Warming Glow (cool white people problems Dave). This guy does a great fill-in for Brandon.
9 Most Likely Reasons You've Been Unfollowed (Cracked) I fucking hate following people on Twitter. I mean real people. I like following famous people, especially comedians. Real people are the drizzling shits.
NYU Professor Fired For Giving James Franco a D (FilmDrunk) Just take your stupid D and your stupid degree idiot. You bought the exact same degree you coulda gotten at any anonymous liberal arts college in the country. Might as well put University of Phoenix-Online on your resume. Right next to Pacific Blue.
Usually I'll do five links but this is all I read so far today. Who cares. I have a Fantasy NBA draft in half an hour. It's way more important.

I felt the same way.
Obey
Welcome to what I hope is a multimedia platform for me and the dumb words I want to say. Blogging, podcasting, other...media...something. ALL OF IT. I would love it if you were reading/experiencing this site on a tablet while in the shitter. That would really make my day.
I'll post a lot of suggestions for Netflix's Instant Watch titles. They don't pay me I just like the service and I try to keep up with new streaming titles, and pass those on. I also get asked a lot for documentary suggestions (if you haven't seen The Wild & Wonderful Whites of West Virginia, stop everything until you have), so there will be plenty of those.
If there's a reason you're wondering why the site looks like garbage, it's because I did it all myself. It adds charm. My vanity only extends so far.
