I was recently tagged in the comments of a video on facebook. If that's never happened to you, what that means is a friend of yours thinks you should watch a video. I rarely ever do when tagged in them, but since this was the Top 10 Pop Punk Choruses of the 21st century it caught my eye. After Boston sports, and hating myself there is nothing I love more in life than pop punk. It brings me back to a simpler time in life (middle school) and is just genuinely good music that over 15 years later in some cases (time is gross) I still enjoy.  I'm an alt-rock guy to the death, and pop punk is probably my favorite subdivision of the alt-rock subdivision. I wish this was a little more timely of a post since the video I'm about to share is from the summer of 2017, but honestly Pop Punk is always relevant, plus my friend tagged me in the comments of this video last week so I didn't know existed until then.

The list:

10. "In Too Deep"- Sum 41
9. "Flavor of the Weak"- American Hi-Fi
8. "Dirty Little Secret" - All-American Rejects
7. "Rock Show" Blink 182
6. "Fat Lip"- Sum 41
5. "Sk8r Boi"- Avril Lavigne
4. "Sugar, We're Going Down Swinging" - Fall Out Boy
3. "Helena"- My Chemical Romance
2. "Ocean Avenue" - Yellowcard
1. "The Middle" - Jimmy Eat World

In fairness, I think it's important to say this isn't a top 10 best pop punk songs, it's top 10 best pop punk choruses, which I guess is a little different, because some songs verses are better than the actual chorus. I mean Taking Back Sunday's (not the last you'll be hearing from them on this blog) "You're So Last Summer" doesn't have a truly memorable chorus, but it does have one of the best lines in pop punk/emo history.

"the truth
is you could slit my throat
And with my one last gasping breath
I'd apologize for bleeding on your shirt"

But I think we can all agree that the chorus can be make or break in a song; It's what people who don't know the title of a song type into google to find out what it's called. Especially in pop-punk where the focus of the music was being more radio-friendly and easy to sing along to, while also rocking.
​
I'm not gonna say every song was unworthy because that's not true. Both Sum 41 songs are staples of early 2000's pop punk. Fat Lip is probably a top 5 most famous song of the era. I listen to Yellowcard nearly weekly, and of course as a pop punk adult-kid Blink-182 is one of my favorite bands of all time. But Helena which isn't even really Pop Punk in the top 3 is laughable, The Middle is a good song, but I bet even Jimmy Eat World themselves would agree it doesn't belong at the top of this list. To prove I can make a better list than Spin and Billboard I am going to give you a list of 10 completely different songs even though I'd agree that a few of theirs are truly worthy. 

Here are the DOL Top 10 Pop Punk Choruses of the 2000's.

10. "Misery Business" - Paramore

I feel like Paramore is more just poppy alternative than pop punk, but idc I'm including this because of how classic the chorus is. To me Misery Business is pop punk, and since I'm making this list that's good enough for me. Everybody loved this song when it came out. It was groundbreaking. Although 2007ish was kind of the beginning of the end for pop punk imo.


P.S. I'm in love with Hayley Williams.

9. "Best of Me" The Starting Line

The Starting Line aren't exactly a household pop punk name like Blink-182, but this song is textbook pop punk because it's all about a girl, being young, and also kind of being a pussy. Yelling that "TELL ME WHAT YOU THOUGHT ABOUT" gets me fucking amped. I low key listen to this song every time I go to the gym. This song is super-singalong-able. 

8. "Jude Law and A Semester Abroad" - Brand New

Tell all the English boys you meet that this is one of the best pop punk songs and choruses of all time. A little more punk than pop compared to the other songs on this list. Heavy drums, lyrics v relatable to the era,,, more girl drama. A true classic.

7. "I'd Do Anything" - Simple Plan

Say what you want about Simple Plan. Sure they're Canadian and their lead singers name is Pierre, but their debut album was chock full o'pop punk hits.  All time classic. They were all over MTV and TRL when Pop Punk was big in the early 2000's. None were quite as big as their first hit "I'd Do Anything". I have loved this song for over half my life which is kind of scary to think about. Bonus points for an appearance from pop punk God, Mark Hoppus. I feel like I'm going to say this a lot, but the key to a great chorus is the singalong factor, and this song is singable AF. 

6. "Swing Swing" - All-American Rejects

A million times better of a pick than Dirty Little Secrets, although that song did have a fantastic music video with all the post secrets. This is just way more pop punk and a way better chorus/overall song. What makes this song is all the emphasis in the chorus. Away, away, awaaaaaaaaaaayyyyy. Oh wow another song about girls and heartbreak.

5. "I Write Sins Not Tragedies" - Panic! At The Disco

Again, kind of flirting with the pop punk line. Just too important of a song and chorus to not include. Kind of lame that there's no unedited version of the video on youtube. A Fever That You Can't Sweat out is one of my 10 favorite albums of this 2000's. 

4. "I'm Not Okay (I Promise)" - My Chemical Romance

Emo but also definitly falls under the pop punk umbrella. Sometimes you don't need to be crazy creative to have a great chorus. 

3. "Lifestyles of the Rich and the Famous" - Good Charlotte

I wanted to do just one song per band, otherwise this list would've had about 7 fewer artists included. Their 2002 album "The Young and the Hopeless" produced three songs that could be worthy of this list, all great pop punk choruses. I'm choosing to go with Lifestyles of the Rich and the Famous because it's my favorite song off that album, and the video doesn't hurt it's cause either s/o Chris Kirkpatrick. It blows my mind that Cameron Diaz is married to fucking Benji Madden.

2. "Cute Without the E (cut from the team)" - Taking Back Sunday

For my money one of the best emo/pop punk/alt/ just overall songs of all time. I fucking love Taking Back Sunday. Seeing them in 2012 was an absolute bucket list moment for middle school dozo. Tell All Your Friends and Where You Want To Be are must listen to albums for anybody who considers themselves a pop punk fan.

1. "My Friends Over You" - New Found Glory

Just maybe ya need this. The original bros before hoes anthem, nice to see the shoe on the other foot for a change. My Friends Over You is the greatest pop punk chorus of all time. IMO it's the best pop punk song of all time. It's got all the elements to great pop punk song. Catchy lyrics, solid beat, and great guitars. This genuinely one of my favorite songs of all time and if you know my taste in music you knew this was going to be number one. It's funny because for as much as I love this song by New Found Glory I only know maaaybe 5 other songs by them. Doesn't matter, this list isn't about those songs, it's about this being the best pop punk chorus (excluding songs from the original questionable list)

I need to get a haircut. I know I do.  It's kind of in an awkward stage right now. I want long hair again, but  like leaving Nashville, and getting fat again, cutting my hair was a mistake.  I'm trying to grow it back, but I need a little shape up to give my shit some style/look a little more presentable at work.  Since I've only gotten 3 haircuts in the last 2 and a half years, and been disappointed after 2 of them, I don't have a reliable hairdresser to call my own (recommendations welcome!).

The last haircut I got was kind of a hack job,  one side is like an inch and a half longer than the other. It's not a great look. Because of this I am kind of nervous to get a haircut. I don't care about much in life, but one thing I do care about is my hair. It's all I have. I don't trust new people. I don't want it to get more fucked up. So in the meantime, I decided to get a new Red Sox hat to cover up this issue.

I've been meaning to get a new Sox hat anyways, but finding an 8 is not an easy task. Last three places I checked did not have any.  I'm a fat bastard (diet started yesterday!), but I could lose 100 pounds (again) and my head would still be gigantic. Finding a size 8 hat is like finding a XL shirt at H&M. I decided to go to the Warwick Mall to get my hat. It's not exactly like finding a needle in a haystack, it's more like finding a quarter in a haystack. Luckily, the hat koisk at the Warwick Mall had a size 8. Mission Accomplished!

On my way out I walked by the food court because that's where I parked since I'm v familiar with the layout of the Warwick Mall and knew the hat kiosk is almost immediately outside of the food court. Yeah, I got in line at Panda Express, but quickly exited the line because diet started yesterday. Yes, I know very strong of me, but please hold applause until the end of this blog. When I got out of line, after literally and figuratively patting myself on the back I came across something you rarely see in the wild anymore, and no sadly I'm not talking about White Rhinos, I'm talking Aaron Hernandez jerseys.

Not only did I take that picture without being noticed by using the fool-proof "pretending to facetime" tactic, but I was so surprised that I saw this jersey that I shared it on two (2) different social media platforms.

Seeing the Hernandez jersey got the wheels in my head spinning. When (if ever) is it okay to wear an Aaron Hernandez jersey? As a Patriot and Tebow-era Florida Gators fan I feel as if I am an expert in this topic.  

Here are the five situations in life where it's okay to wear an Aaron Herandez jersey. I now present you:

​
5 Everyday Situations You Can Wear an Aaron Hernandez jersey:



1. Performing stand-up in Boston.

I can't believe this is the best quality photo anybody got of Daniel Tosh wearing a Hernandez jersey at a show in Boston. You'd think this was taken in 2005 not 2015, which would make little to no sense since Hernandez was a junior in High School in 05 but this photo is in fact less than three years old despite having some daguerreotype quality. As Dolphins fan (no wonder why he's depressed) this was a troll move, very on par for his comedy. No issues here.

2. Ironically

You can get away with anything if you say you're doing it ironically. (don't quote me on that)

3. If You Are Also A Murderer

It's like how jeep people always honk at each other, or how Jewish people will chose a Jewish business over one run by gentiles. You gotta support your own kind. 

4. Halloween

You can be anything on Halloween without negative repercussions. (again, do not quote me on that)

5. Whenever You Want

I bet you thought I was gonna end this with "never". Well, I almost did but then the snowflake on my nose melted and I remembered that I live in America and for the time being freedom of speech still exists. While Bob Kraft did his best to eliminate all Aaron Hernandez jerseys in 2012, there are still plenty circulating the streets. If you want to wear an Aaron Hernandez jersey you legally can do that, but just know you're gonna get some serious looks. Plus enough time hasn't passed yet. People (me) make 9/11 jokes all the time so time really does heal all wounds (unless you're Odin Lloyd) but for now you're gonna look like a fucking ass hole who is pro murder (and also suicide technically) if you're wearing a Hernandez jersey outdoors and are probably going to have fake bloggers write about you in their spare time. 

I love twitter dot com even though, like most things I've ever loved, it doesn't love me back. I've been on twitter since '09, and although my handle has changed multiple times, my typo ridden, luke warm takes, and intoxicated thoughts have not. #hiredozo!!!

Originally I used twitter as an instant messenger substitute during senior project class to talk to my friends since it wasn't blocked on the high school computers unlike every other good website. We would just tweet at each other and not work on our notecards. Fun times! Over the years my usage evolved to talking about sports and drunkenly sub-tweeting my ex girlfriend. Even funner times!

Over the years twitter grew in popularity, but has been on a steady decline in my circle since like 2014.  I use it more so as an internet newspaper now, an internet newspaper that I can also give my shitty commentary on life on. As a blogger, with aspirations much larger than DOL I use it to share my random thoughts, talk sports/music and try to make people laugh. Sometimes I actually do!

Nowadays (at least in my circle) twitter use has gone down rather severely. There was a time where it felt like every person my age was active on twitter. It started off like one of those car giveaways, you know the ones in the movies where everybody has a hand on the car, and the last person touching the car wins it?

In 2012 everybody I ever knew was touching the twitter car. 


​Now there's like a half dozen people still holding on. Some went down in a blaze of glory.

It sucks, I'm gonna be serious for moment, as someone trying to make it online, when a tweet you think was good gets no love it fucking sucks. I'm trying to build a brand here, people! It's because of my 400+ followers, I'd say less than 30 are actual people who are still active on twitter. So statistically it's not that crazy for them to not find what I said informative or hilarious, even if it was. Let me tell you, there's no worse feeling than when a tweet you thought you knocked out of the park gets zero retweets or favorites. Literally no worse feeling on earth. It's the worst thing that can ever happen to a person. 

Well, luckily for me there's former Patriots TE Martellus Bennett to let me know that just because I don't have the audience I'd like doesn't mean my tweets aren't good.  Sidenote: can't help but noticed he spewed this garbage take right after 4:20 pm. I'm no detective, but it's quite possible the recently retired TE was high on marijuana which altered his judgement to give such a poor take. 

I actually got Chick-Fil-A last weekend for the first time in like 12 years and it wasn't bad, but come on bro this take stinks. For those of you wondering why I went so long without eating Chick-Fil-A it was out of respect and support for all the gays out there, so you're welcome gays, you've got a friend in me (not literally, don't go in me)

But after the New Yorker wrote the most ridiculous article about Chick-Fil-A I swerved and got it out of protest to the worst piece of writing of 2018. I'm all over the place politically.

​As someone who's had In & Out exactly one (1) time, I felt it was best to recycle an old twitter joke and put Marty B in his place. I'll show him! 

Well, whadaya know? Marty saw and replied with the ultra-genuine "Hahahaha. Good One"

Everybody knows if you get a  "haha" which is like the cousin of the "k" text,  they don't actually think what you said is funny.  In fact in many cases, quite the opposite. I'd rather get an "lol" than a "haha" tbh. If you get over let's say 10 "ha's" then the person is going overboard, and probably trying to sleep with you.

Luckily for me this tweet feel right in the sweet spot with 8 "ha's" which causes me to believe this was at the very least an okay tweet. Which is all I'm shooting for, I'm cool with okay. You can make a career off being okay. Grilled cheese is okay and everybody fucking loves those Great Depression necessity sandwiches. Thanks for the exposure Marty. #hiredozo



P.S.

Getting replies from celebrities is still cool af. II used to screenshot all of them, I remember Vince Wilfork replied to a tweet of mine when I was waiting to get a haircut like 7 years ago. Idc what people say, or if they think it's lame to care...I care, I get excited every time. It's one of the best parts of twitter how you can potentially get an answer from anybody on earth.

NORTH KINSGTOWN, R.I. (WJAR) — New rules will limit how many dogs someone can own in North Kingstown, with a maximum of five.

While supporters said they're just keeping up with the times, opponents argue there's no need.

Mariann Miceli, who was accompanied by Dolly, her one dog, told NBC 10 News they walk the streets of Wickford every day.

“I think four could be the limit,” she said. “But if they can handle it and they take good care of them, like I take care of my dog, I think it's OK.”
​
The town council approved the restriction in a 3 to 2 vote.

Councilman Kerry McKay, who has three dogs, voted for the limit.

“I think we did the right thing. When you have that many dogs, you have the tendency to have issues,” McKay said. “They create all kinds of waste. They can bark, bark, bark their heads off.”

Counilwoman Doreen Costa, who has two dogs and other animals, voted against it.

“If I have three dogs or six dogs, they're long to be groomed. They're going to the vet. They're going to have their shots. They're going to be very well taken care of,” Costa said. “And most people are good. They're going to do the right thing.”

Animal Control and police recommended the rule in hopes of avoiding hoarding situations, as there had not been a limit on the books in North Kingstown.

Animal Control Officer Brittany Curran said she checked in with a bunch of other towns, many with a limit of three dogs. She said there are about a dozen homes in town now with more than five dogs, one with about 20.

But the new rules will grandfather in those dog owners.

“We're just trying to update the ordinance and things like that,” said Curran. “Everybody that has their dogs are going to be able to keep them. We're not going to go out to your house and take them away.”

“Anybody could move here and have 35 dogs, but maybe they're not taking care of them,” Curran added.

“Not going to say that somebody that has 3 dogs isn't taking care of them right, but just in general, that's a lot of dogs. We should definitely have it monitored more.”

The new rule goes into effect July 1. Anyone who is not grandfathered in beforehand would need a kennel license to have more than five dogs.

I heard this news today on the radio while at work. I could've sworn I was listening to Rhode Island talk radio, but by the looks of things we're living in China!

I'm sure you just asked yourself:

"Why is that, Dozo?"

Well, friendo call me Craig David because I'm about to fill you in.

Yes, I know 7 days a much better song, but let me explain the real issue here.

You see, North Kingstown is now putting a limit on how many dogs a home can have at 5 (five) puppers  per residence. Thank God they did because of all the issues in America right now this has to be in the top 3. Right after not enough Dunkin Donuts and the under-appreciation of Jason Bateman,


But seriously, this is idiotic imo. To me a town shouldn't have this type of power over it's taxpaying (can you tell I've been listening to a lot of talk radio) residents.

While I do love dogs, and to a point agree that having over 5 dogs is a little bit much I gotta side with the people who voted against this. As an American, and more importantly as a laid back, chill, cool. bro, guy I gotta say I don't like how NK is trying to tell people to live.  Don't tread on my puppies! I live by the notion of live how you want, your house is your house.  You do your thing, I'll do mine. I don't give a fuck what you do as long as you aren't harming people and it doesn't negatively impact others.  For this situation throw good boys and girls (talkin dogs for old people reading this who aren't up to date with internet jargon) in the mix.

Tell me this NK...How am I supposed to explain to my children that our new gay neighbors—————-- had to give away 3 of their 8 dogs because they just moved to North Kingstown? Are you gonna explain to them why Christoph and Spencer had to decide which dogs to "give" away? They'll be heartbroken. What happened to the Declaration of Independence,,, "life liberty and the pursuit of happiness" ever heard of it? If having a football team full of dogs makes someone happy, as long as they're taking care of them who careeeees? With animal control always an issue in this country, people who want to take care of 5+ dogs should be thanked, not ostracized.

Who are you North Kingstown to tell someone how many dogs they can or cannot have? I mean as long as the person is taking care of them why the does it matter? 

Also NK I gotta know, was this really such a pressing issue that they had to waste time coming up with this law? How many people complained about too many doggos? Were tons of people really moving to NK with 35 dogs willy-nilly? I know NK is a pretty affluent area with not a ton of issues, but I feel like there are more important things to worry about than how many dogs people own. 

If anything why not put a limit on how many cats someone can have? I think worrying about crazy cat ladies, (which after spending any amount of time in Wickford you can tell there are plenty of in NK) is a much bigger issue. Nobody needs to discover a dead body being eaten by a baker's dozen of tabbies when some lonely lady who hasn't left her studio apartment is finally discovered after being dead for a month and a half.

Or better yet, let's put a limit on how many kids someone should have. That's something I can get behind. Bill Burr has said it on like three different specials. If you think people are gonna start neglecting dogs once the total surpasses cinco then what do you think is gonna happen with kids? Plus extra dogs aren't taking away jobs and sucking at driving unlike new people.

 I just think this law could be the beginning of a very slippery slope.  What's next taking away our guns?!?

Today's SOD comes straight from the b-day boy Michael Motorcycle. Be sure to wish him a Happy Birthday he loves it!!! 

Don't for one second think just because it's April that this series doesn't matter, because it does. 

Casual baseball fans will say that "April baseball is meaningless" and I just want you to know that people who believe that are fucking idiots. Just because there's a 162 games in a season doesn't mean a win in one month is more or less valuable than another. That notion is simply false. A win, is a win. A win on April 18th matters just as much as one on September 18th. 

An example I love to use to further explain that is the 2011 Boston Red Sox. They are infamous for the chicken and beer scandal and September collapse that ended up costing Terry Francona his job after they let a 9 game playoff lead disappear in a month after going 7-20 in September. Still makes me mad when I really think about it. They ended up finishing 90-72 good for 3rd place in the American League East with no trip to the postseason after entering the season as World Series favorites. Well, did you also know that same 2011 Red Sox team started the season 0-6? They were 2-10 through 12 games. Many would say that is a bad start to the season. I would have to agree. It took them almost a week to get into the win column. Had they gone even 1-5 to start the year, if they're 4-8 which still sucks after 12 games even with that September implosion they still make the playoffs. Then who knows what happens? At the very least that bullshit Evan Longoria home run that went over the part of the fence in Tampa that is 9 inches tall wouldn't have meant shit.

My point is every game counts.

That is why I'm so fired up for this Red Sox-Yankees series this week. Idk if the rivalry is fully back, but I'm hoping there are some fireworks this week to bring a little 03-04 life back into it. I know it's impossible to truly replicate that level of tension since the Curse has since been broken (remember when the Yankees were up 3-0 in the 2004 ALCS? lolol). But I do think given how good both of these teams are and with the importance winning the division has over being in the one-game wild card playoff, every pitch between these two teams matters. This series is going to say a lot about these teams considering who is pitching for both clubs. 

Both teams are coming into 2018 off trips to the postseason, with new managers and World Series aspirations. Sure it's only the 3rd week of the season and regardless of the outcome there are still like 140+ games to be played, so it's not exactly make or break but IMO this series is HUGE for setting the pace of the rest of the season or at least the next few weeks of the year. 

The 8-1 (best start in franchise history nbd) Boston Red Sox and 5-5 New York Yankees begin a three game mid-week series in Fenway Park starting tonight. Side note it's fucking bullshit that this is a Tuesday through Thursday series. I could be wrong but I feel like every Red Sox-Yankees series growing up was always on the weekend. Just not the same juice during the week imo. 

​If these pitching match-ups don't get you jazzed up then what are you even doing here? If it wasn't my final week at FedEx working nights I would 100% be going to Fenway to catch at least one of these games. Tickets are still available for p cheap.

Just a tad less jazzy.

The Red Sox are notably 8-1. Best record in the American League. If it wasn't for a Joe Kelly meltdown on opening day this team very well could be undefeated. Although the Red Sox have won 8 of their first 9 games they have all been played against teams who reside in Florida. 7 games against the Rays and 2 against the Marlins. Not exactly the 27 Yankees or 2004 Red Sox, but hey you play who's on the schedule and to this point they've done quite well. Red Sox starting ERA through 9 games is basically 0.00. You gotta take care of business against the bottom feeder teams. 

The Yankees have on the other hand have struggled. Giancarlo Stanton has had multiple platinum sombrero games this season. For those of you unaware of that nomenclature it means he's struck out 5 times in a game not once, but twice. Not ideal! Even in today's "we don't care about strikeouts" culture of baseball. 20 strikeouts through 48 at bats in alarming. Is Giancarlo Stanton even good?

With these teams facing off against one another for the first time in 2018 there is a lot on the line. Sure the Red Sox are 8-1 so far, but if the Yankees come into Fenway Park and sweep them, with their 1-2-3 starting pitchers going that will be v alarming and pretty much wipe out all the good that has taken place so far this season. Nobody is going to care that they swept the Rays. It's going to be that Chris Sale, David Price and Rick Porcello all (potentially) lost to the Yankees at home. David Price hasn't allowed a run since like July of last year but if he gets rocked by Gary Sanchez people aren't going to care about 14 scoreless innings to start the season.

But on the other side of the coin, if the Red Sox sweep the Yankees then they're sitting at 11-1 with the Yanks at 5-8 (s/o me) with a 6.5 game lead through less than two weeks of baseball.  Not a bad place to potentially be for the Red Sox. Pretty much every hitter on the Yankees roster except for Didi and Aaron Judge are struggling so far. They have a great opportunity to shut some critics up by having a good series against one of the best top 3's in all of baseball. Nobody is going to be talking about Stanton's platinum sombreros if he hits 4 home runs this series.

Pretty much every MLB "expert" picked the Yankees to win the AL East despite the Red Sox being two time defending champs with a healthy roster and new management to bring life back to this sort of just there ball club who won 93 games in the most unexciting way possible last season.

While regardless of the outcome of the series the season is faaaaaaaaaaaaar from over. Winning 2-3 or sweeping for either team will be huge for moral going forward. I can't wait. Fuck the Yankees. Please Sox just don't get swept.

FORT PIERCE, Fla. (AP) — Authorities say a Florida woman is blaming a windy day for the cocaine that police found in her purse.

WPLG reported Kennecia Posey was one of two passengers in a car stopped by Fort Pierce police in late March. Police say an officer smelled marijuana and that, after searching the car, cocaine and marijuana in separate bags were found inside a purse Posey had on her lap.

Authorities say they questioned Posey about the drugs. According to the police report, Posey responded: "It's a windy day. It must have flown through the window and into my purse."

Posey was charged with a felony count of cocaine possession and a misdemeanor count of marijuana possession. She was later released on bond.

It wasn't immediately known if she has a lawyer.

"I guess that's, why they call it blow!" - every hack (myself excluded) on twitter.


This story is getting a lot of attention, mainly due to the absurd nature to the story and I am falling right into the trap but I do not care. I love this story and honestly think Ms. Posey should have all the charges dropped.

In the story it clearly states that the car smelled of marijuana. That makes the weed they found in her purse make a lot of sense. We're all good so far.

When asked about the cocaine Kennecia Posey was extremely quick on her feet, and sure you could say that's because she was lying, and also possibly on cocaine, but I chose to not think that way.  I think she came up with such a ridiculous claim because she's telling the truth.

Think about it for a second.

If she was lying about the coke wouldn't she have said that's where the weed came from too? If this is gonna be the horse you hitch yourself to might as well go down guns a blazing (not literally, don't shoot cops). You might as well go all in and use this fantastic remix of the dog ate my homework in attempts to beat the weed charge too. Cause if she's lying why not just try to say the wind blew the weed into her purse? Or the odor too while we're at it? If anything that'd be more believable. We all know how wind works. Smells travel. If you've ever farted in public you're likely wishing it was windier to help get rid of the evidence and not ruin your 2nd date. If anything it's more logical that  a smell was blown in than a bag of nose beers.

I'm just saying if she was lying why not cover all your tracks? It's like if you were arrested for kidnapping and stealing a car and instead of denying it all just said the kid was already there when you stole the car once the cops show up.

But that wasn't the case.

Kennecia was likely smoking weed with the other passenger and was honest about that. That's why she didn't cover her tracks with something as ridiculous as "the wind blew it in". It was obvious that it wasn't.

The wind blew it in is such a ridiculous lie that it almost makes me believe it. Either Kennecia has wit of George Carlin or is telling the truth to be that quick on her feet when asked about the cocaine. Makes me think this far-fetched story isn't as crazy as it seems. I'm on your side Kennecia, the wind blew it in!!!

This three year old list was brought back into the public eye thanks to being tweeted out again today. Classic "blog" trick NME and Vice do it all the time with lists from 2011 but I still manage to click every time. 

Today FiveThirtyEight tweeted out this list of the 25 most rewatchable movies of all time:

Bro that list fucking stinks on ice. Sure I'm not exactly Roger Ebert when it comes to movie criticisms or jaws, but I know what goes into a movie being rewatchable. To me personally, time is a major factor. How are so many people rewatching all these day long movies? I swear at least half of the top 10 is three (3) hours or longer. Who is out here with two weeks off from work rewatching the Lord of the Rings series?

To me there's two types of rewatchable:  chosen and tv rewatch. 

To better describe what I so eloquently stated what I'm talking is movies you sought out to rewatch. I'm talking you own it, or went out of your way to look for it on demand/streaming service etc. These are the movies you truly love. Then there's tv rewatch, pretty simple you're scrolling and see that it's on and stop what you're doing and watch it. You still love these movies, but it's not exactly the same. 

How so many of these movies made it this far I'll never understand.

You're telling me of all the movies on earth only Star Wars are more "rewatchable" than The Wizard of Oz or Sound of Music? Bull shit. 

I watched both of those movies a decent amount when I was a kid and I have zero interest in ever seeing them again. Granted I'm a straight white dude, but I'd have to imagine I'm in the majority here. Who the fuck is bored on a Tuesday and is like "let's pop in our Sound of Music DVD?" Who did they poll to get this info, strictly grandmothers?

I get it I don't have the most "classical taste" when it comes to movies, but seriously this list has basically no comedies and none that have come out in the last 30 years? To me comedies are the most rewatchable of movies, they're usually not that long and still make you laugh (if they're good). I could rewatch Saving Silverman pretty much daily and still laugh. People really want to watch Pride and Prejudice 50 times?

I've spent way too much time thinking about this topic and started a 1-25 breakdown on whether or not the movie in question deserved being on this list when it just really came to me that this list sucked. No Dark Knight (the GOAT TNT Saturday afternoon movie), no classic comedies other than Caddyshack (which is a little overrated IMO), and Finding Nemo was on here but Toy Story wasn't??? I'm a huge Finding Nemo fan but putting it on here over any of the Toy Story's is blasphemy. This list sucks.
