Quote of the Day
The making of a great compilation tape, like breaking up, is hard to do and takes ages longer than it might seem. You gotta kick off with a killer, to grab attention. Then you got to take it up a notch, but you don't wanna blow your wad, so then you got to cool it off a notch. There are a lot of rules.

Did we learn nothing from Saving Silverman....
In 2001 a little movie came out called Saving Silverman. In the movie, three best friends were put to the test when one of the friends started going out with Amanda Peet and ended up becoming her bitch pretty much. Anyway, she forbids him from seeing his best friends and even making him burn his Neil Diamond records (for shame!). In the end, the guys find the right girl for him (that they like) and they all find there significant others and blah blah blah. I guess the point I'm getting to is we all have friends that at some point get into a relationship, but you always have that one guy or girl who get into one of those relationships and they just decide to be totally cut off from civilization. I mean I just don't get it. Why the hell would you want to be with someone that doesn't get along with your friends? I mean do you really want to only see your friends at high school reunions or when your spouse goes on vacation? Seriously? How depressing is that? I'm not saying that you can't bring your husband/wife/boyfriend/girlfriend and be social with your group of friends. I just don't see why these people can't just set some time like once every other week or once a month just so people know that your still fucking alive. The amazing thing about this is when they do finally go out, they're acting like Jake Gyllenhaal from Bubble Boy, like it's they're first time entering society. Which brings me back to Saving Silverman, the movie did an extreme version of how friends react to this sort of circumstance, but there is something to learn from this. Don't become your significant others bitch. Everyone says there's supposed to be compromises in relationship (which I'm not ignorant to the fact that that's never true). All I'm saying is sometimes you don't have to do the Bed Bath and Beyond/Home Depot weekend. There's four weekends in a month it should be reasonable to set aside time for one day to do something without your spouse. I mean, unless you're not married, you have your entire life together. All this being said though, if they got kids all this is just words (of course some people regardless might say that anyway. Eh, fuck it).
