ladies and gentlemen I submit for your approval: The 2008 Monday Morning Hangover Year in review.
Best Discovery (overall discoveries category)- Apple Macbook. Look, all my life I've ben a mac user. true story. and the new generation of macbook is all I want out of a laptop and more, ample processor speed(2.0 ghz) , lot of storage space (250 gb), and plenty of memory (4gb). not to mention apple's user friendly UI makes for good times all around.
Worst Discovery(overall discoveries category) - Alabama Slammers- even on paper they sound bad. Souther Comfort and Amaretto. here, take my throat and shove shit down it, asking for one of those at a bar makes you look like a freshman sorority girl at tuscaloosa.
Best show- A Day To Remember and New Found Glory- NFG started out as a hardcore band so i guess this makes sense to have them play together, these two bands were each #2 in my book of favorite bands during high school and middle school respectively. NFG plays such a long set and they're pretty cool to their fans and ADTR and I are acquaintances and I like both of their albums so for the only show i went to, it wins by default.
Worst Show- A Day to Remember and New Found Glory- Look, for what was cool at that show, in retrospect, never play live as the International SuperHeroes of Hardcore ever again. And Four Years Strong are massholes so fuck them just on principle.
Best Book I Read- Men With Balls: The handbook on how to become a Pro Athlete by Drew Magary. The book is a parody of what it is to be a pro athlete and made me glad I passed up football scholarships to play at UFC and FIU. (ed note: but not by much.)
Gayest Music I started listening to this year- Jesse McCartney. I used to make fun of my sister for liking him when "beautiful soul" came outback in '04 now it's '08 and i know almost every word to leaving. fuck me.
Top Albums of '08
1. Oracular Spectacular - MGMT. mix one parts the format and one parts Circa Survive and you have a CD I listen to almost nonstop. The Lyrical content of Time to Pretend is almost the theme song to The MMH.
2. Universal Mind Control- Common. Common is awesome first and foremost. and with appearances by pharrell, Kanye, and Cee-Lo only make this CD even more awesome.
3. Paper Trail- TI. This CD has more guest appearances than I care for but Live your Life and swagger like us are catchy. I play swing ya rag when I work out a lot too.
4. 808's and Heartbreak- Kanye West. Kevin Pereria is right. a simple beat and auto tune makes anything a chart hit.
5. In Rainbows- Radiohead. look. December 28 '07 might as well be 2008. and even so, it was still better than pretty much everything put out this year.
Hero of the year (non-sports category)- Hunter S. Thompson. He is and always will be my personal hero. He wasn't afraid of anything except himself. The new documentary on his life aptly titled Gonzo is one of the best films ever. period.
Asshat of the year (non-sports category) Bernard Madoff. for not sharing with me. oh and for being the epitome of greed and shitheadedness.
Hero(s) of the year sports category- The 2008 World Series Champion Philadelphia Phillies. I'm gonna let Chutley do the talking for me
Asshats of the year Sports category- The Dallas Cowboys. Well, lets see. Jerry Jones convinced HBO to make a mini series of training camp, Signed Roy Williams and Pacman Jones, then proceeded to implode culminating in a 44-6 loss to my beloved Eagles. god. this was an awesome year in sports for me.
Beer of the Year- Yuengling. Bias aside. no other $11 beer satisfies you quite like the first american lager.
Worst beer of the year- Wild Blue. Blue colored shitwater. tastes like Jay Cutler's piss.
Quote of the year- "oh and what about you, a little stewie headed baby raking his parents shag carpet, you know why you did that? so all the fibers went in the same direction, that is type A OCD Brad."
Best Aim convo: Joe" that is saved on my computer as instant stress relief"
Brad:"what do you know, so is this"
Joe: I less than three eve lawrence
Brad: "see, in my mind she looks surprised cause i've just walked in on her in the bathroom and im in a three point stance about to rape her"
Best overall thing of 2008:
Joe Costa (swallowing my cum)
But really though, The phillies winning the world series. better than anything else really.
Ma-Halo
