By my guess you would be roughly 25/26? I say this because I seem to have caught the tail end of a few of those things, and add a few years for my usual lateness to catch on to trends.

o you like Huey Lewis and the news?
Their early work was a little too new wave for my tastes, but when Sports came out in '83,I think they really came into their own, commercial and artistically. The whole album has a clear, crisp sound, and a new sheen of consimante professionalism that really gives the songs a big boost. He's been compared to Elvis Costello, but I think Huey has a far much more bitter, cynical sense of humour.
In '87, Huey released this, Fore, their most accomplished album. I think their undisputed masterpiece is "Hip to be Square", a song so catchy, most people probably don't listen to the lyrics. But they should, because it's not just about the pleasures of conformity, and the importance of trends, it's also a personal statement about the band itself.

That list is peppered with odd little comments that, when put together, could have been a warning to your parents as to how you were going to turn out.
Such a shame, you could have been fixed.

Between this list and the pic from one of your previous posts it is clear that you're pissing away the advantages offered by being a suburban white kid. You probably aspire to no more than leasing a BMW someday.

When OathMeal says "he's leaving Uber "forever"", "forever" mean "for three weeks", or "until I get a new job with computer access".

you are so annoying that no matter what you post i'm never gonna read it. you have absolutely no redeeming qualities, and we all know how this is going to play out - just like the other 5096 times you've turned up under some shitty name.
-------
STFU and know your place, n00b.
-----------------
We'd rather see another n00b of this quality than another of your shitty, ragining, self-appreciating incarnations of you.
And that's just not from me. I believe I speak for 95% of Uber here. Just fucking realize that the only good you will ever be in the internet-life is a fucking e-corpse.

But see, here's the irony.
Punching your teeth down your steroid-inflated throat still holds minor appeal to me.
I guess that's the real quandary here.

Jeff, beating your rail-thin, boozer ass isn't as appealing as it was a few months ago.
I've resigned to watching you be old and still trying to impress people half your age on the internet.
