  1. Lifehack: When you hear Adele's "Someone Like You" (or similar sad songs), spin it in your head as if "you" is referring to your old self.
  2. I don't listen to EDM anymore but any time I log onto Facebook and see another shit relationship take form I think "wait for the drop"
  3. It's time all you motherfuckers began appreciating what an amazing band Poco was. youtube.com/watch?v=flj8LQ…
  4. @devilherdue I am going to open a club where wang size inversely determines the multiplier on the cost of your drinks
  5. "Why did you unfriend me?" "Because your Facebook feed paints you as a walking bad decision."
  6. "For a grump, you sure seem to believe in the underlying goodness of humanity." YEAH. IT'S JUST THAT ALL THE FUCKERS CONGREGATE AROUND *ME*
  7. Just spent an hour at my desk defending the kids on Super Sweet 16. What the fuck have I become. This is not proper grumping.
  8. @ArielMacc Of course, if you're okay with writing jingles, that's cool. Just don't pretend to be something nobler.
  9. @ArielMacc In those cases, the art isn't actually their own, which is lamentable. Writing songs to sell products makes you a jingle-writer.
  10. @ArielMacc The artist still has input when told to commercialize. If genuine, that's artistic evolution. They're still selling *themselves.*
  11. @ArielMacc Live performance and record sales is hardly prostituting yourself. "Degrade your art or starve" is a false dichotomy.
  12. Protip: There is no amount of grump that cannot be cured by blasting Stevie Wonder. It's just not possible. #SirDuke
