I am currently digging Say Anything and Whiskey Militia

I am currently digging Say Anything [1] — the 1989 Cameron Crowe movie starring John Cusack. If you live under a rock and never saw it, surely you have seen the image of Cusack holding the boombox over his head. [2] Cusack stars as Lloyd Dobler, the most unrealistically cool, laid back, and interesting teenage boy that ever lived. Since I was the heavyweight champion of having crushes on girls in high school, it’s good to see that Lloyd gets the girl. But beyond all that — the soundtrack is ridiculous. Cameron Crowe never goes wrong — Singles [3] is in my opinion the best movie soundtrack ever, and even Elizabethtown [4] is a rather legit soundtrack. I have been driving my girlfriend insane with all my Say Anything references and recently serenaded her Cusack-style and adapted to the times by holding my ipod over my head. She didn’t think it was as funny as I did. 

I am currently digging Whiskey Militia [5]. It’s a website that sells one product at a time — surf and skate clothes, skateboards, accessories, sunglasses, you name it.  And the prices are dirt cheap! I bought a nice pair of Dragon sunglasses  [6]that normally go for around 100 dollars for 20 bucks! It is also a great resource for summer clothes. Since I am 34 going on 16, I guess I feel the need to also dress 16 and this is a cheap and easy place to get clothes for that because they are insanely overpriced in the mall.     

But this week I am ditching, and about to lose my mind, over Obamacare posts on facebook. Whether you are for it, or against it, I’m sick of it, no pun intended. I don’t really know about it all, and my only opinion I feel strongly about is that a child should be able to have health care regardless of the parent’s situation. Some of these people are outrageously heartless with their posts — some are outlandishly ignorant. Right now my biggest concern is that my town now has a Cricket and PCS Mobile store — the biggest telltale sign you live in a dumpy area.
