Nick Dietrich and I are prets tight. Here is us as children. I'm making sure Nick doesn't get away.
Every 2 years or so I re-watch Arrested Development. This basically means that odd numbered years are better than even numbered years.
I often trick old, senile people into thinking needles are cell phones that they just don't understand. I'm not proud of this.
Day 5 - A picture of your favorite memory
The weekend Band Practice got to record in Chicago was pretty sick. Imagine me trying to do that thing where people, like, snap but using their index finger somehow. Iunno, I've never been able to do that.
This would be a busy day. I would start filing divorce papers, I would kill any children I might have that would mess up the rest of the plan, and then I would fly as close to Springfield, IL as possible. I would drive the rest of the way. I would go to 2013 Glenwood Ave and walk up to the second floor. I would take my first left at the top of the stairs and then go in the door to my right. I would hang out in there until the 24 hours are almost up, and then I would lay on the bed and drug myself into a near catatonic state.
Soon after that, something magical would happen.
T-Rex's don't wear glasses! Or top hats! Or bow ties! Sometimes my friends are so god damned silly.
LOLOLOL
We've had some tough times, Conor and I, but damn, we've passed every obstacle with ease.
If cats could talk, and like, tell people what we do together I would be arrested.
WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT WHAT THE FUCK
The first two Swan Princess movies are classics, but man, things sure got wacky in the third installment.
Things are going pretty well for Conor O'Brien's budding solo career
LOL me again.
Sean LOL JOKES ME AGAIN, ME, THERE BEHIND THE SHARK
Dan Dietrich. That guy let Band Practice record in his really really legit studio in Chicago for free for a weekend. For realz I love this guy. And Frank, his sound engineer. Big love to Frank as well.
Day 18 - A picture of your biggest insecurity - N/A
Day 19 - A picture of you when you were little
I wish my mom took a video of this rather than a picture, because I was no jokes running full circle around this thing. It/I was amazing.
I forget why I chose this picture.
Tricking girls into thinking I'm interested in what they're saying. This dude's a pro.
I'm not choosing a favorite book, but the book I'm reading right now is Machine of Death, which is really interesting. It's a collection of short stories about this invention where you can learn how you die, and how people would deal with this knowledge.
Imagine a world where every meal is candy
Final Fantasy VIII, Eliot, Classic, Allison, Nick, Andrew. Why else would I be up at 5:13 in the morning.
These games hold an embarrassingly large percentage of my capacity to love things.
Here's my mom's side of the family. Check it out. That's me in the upper left corner. I'm young and I'm wearing a Bears sweater. Foreshadowing my eventual evolution into the perfect athlete.
Marathons. This guy just got done with a marathon, was handed a gold medal, and then it looks like he died. If you die in a marathon you die in real life, friend. Marathons should be punishments.
Noooooo waaaaaay. That blur there to the left of the dancing bro is a toddler. That's totally like a baby. That guy just kicked the little fool in the face while breakdancing. Absolutely destroyed him/her. That's so awesome.
R.I.P. Heath Ledger
Conor, I thought we had a deal where you don't publish that picture of me in a Snuggie on the interwebs and I don't punch you in the dick every time I see you from now on. But I guess there's no deal like that, huh.
ReplyDeleteHa Eliot I am in two pictures and you are in ZERO. In fact, the count is O'Briens 19*, Sills 0. Further proof that O'Briens are better than Sills.
ReplyDelete*Yes I counted Belle and Sebastian.
The statue Dan Dietrich is standing next to is in New Orleans!
ReplyDeletePicture 18 is my fav.
ReplyDeleteNow I'm no longer crying, this post was rather amusing. Also, got nothing accomplished I had set out to do in the library and blame you and the rest of the cast who makes produces the buffoonery of this blog.
