Yes, we know what opinions are like, and we know everyone has them. They’re pompous. They’re annoying. They’re trite. And bottom line, you don’t want to hear ‘em. Because you are your own person. You think for yourself, you act for yourself - you’re an individual.
So don’t worry, we know you landed on this page by mistake. And we know you absolutely won’t scroll down to check out our take on things like Chipotle, wine and the weather. Because you can form your own opinions. You don’t need us.
Yes. Spring is on the way. Literally any day we’re going to get our first taste of temperatures above 40 degrees (I’m talking to those of us in climates that experience winter). And you know what that means, right? People are going to be sprinting to be the first to wear shorts. T-Shirts. Sandals.

I enjoyed the movie The Departed. I liked it when Leonardo’s character ordered a cranberry juice. I thought it was funny when that asshole said, “whaddaya got, yer period?” And I liked it when Leo bashed his face in with that glass.

It’s been a while since we’ve done these, but it’s Friday, and there’s been a lot going on in the world that we think warrants further discussion. So, Friday Quick Hitters it is…

Readers of the blog, this has been a truly awful week. Horrible week. Why?

As I sit here and think about it, I can’t imagine a single person out there claims “Shallow Hal” as their favorite movie of all time.

Do I think even less of the people who wait in long lines outside of AT&T stores to get iPhones? Yes. And do I think even less of the imitation iPhones every other network carries? Yes.
