A post involving Monday Night Football and Common, but not about sports or music

I was just watching a commercial during Monday Night Football (no, I will not discuss Tony Kornheiser in this post: you're welcome), and a Zune commercial comes on in which the rapper Common is talking. He is wearing a shirt that says, simply, "COMMON."

Now, I like Common. I think he is a great rapper. But that long-sleeved shirt that so boldly announces his name...not too sure. It's a pretty tremendous combination of pretentious and douchey, which, though slightly impressive, might not be okay. It reminds me a lot of anyone who wears this shirt:


Let's get a closer look at that detail, shall we, guys?


Yep. The saddle point of pretension and douche, as exemplified by Ralph Lauren, with this shirt, as well as Common wearing a shirt that boldly proclaims his name. Let's try and put a stop to these things, shall we?

Detox

So this weekend I destroyed my liver, again. The real issue, though, is that because I'm in school again, and nearing the end of the semester, this weekend would have been much better served studying, and not, you know, breaking my brain.

I have a Macallan tasting this Friday. Other than that, we're going to try a fun experiment. It's called "Not Drinking Until Thanksgiving Break." That's over two weeks away. Ready...GO!
