You know who still supports Planned Parenthood? Girl Scout Cookies. Keep your pink ribbons, Komen. I’ve got Thin Mints to buy. I don’t even eat cookies. I’ll probably just feed a bunch of them to the local pigeons. So, if you see some fat pigeons in Dallas, you’ll know I’ve been there.

Tonight at House of Blues! The Adicts and the World Inferno Friendship Society!
The Adicts are a punk tribute/concept band for A Clockwork Orange from the early 80’s. The World Inferno Friendship Society are a gigantic, formerly underground band from Brooklyn who used to demand every audience member to come in a costume.
This is a night that tight white jeans were made for.

Here are my very, very early predictions for the 2012 MLB season. They’ll probably be adjusted some during Spring Training and before first pitch of Opening Day, so take these with a grain of salt. I just wanted to break down some baseball numbers during lunch.
AL East - Tampa Bay Rays
AL Central - Detroit Tigers
AL West - Texas Rangers
AL Wild Card - Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim
NL East - Philadelphia Phillies
NL Central - St Louis Cardinals
NL West - Arizona Diamondbacks
NL Wild Card - Miami Marlins
AL Rookie of the Year - Yu Darvish
NL Rookie of the Year - Bryce Harper
AL Cy Young - Justin Verlander
NL Cy Young - Cliff Lee
AL MVP - Adrian Gonzalez
NL MVP - Justin Upton
Yes, imagine a postseason with neither the Red Sox or the Yankees. I’ll break down my rotation and position players by ranking later next month. HOT STOVE FEVER! CATCH IT!

So, I’m really into karaoke even the good Lord Tebow did not bless me with either pitch or an ear for music. I’ve been going every Wednesday to the same place for close to 8 months now and I was a diehard karaoke junkie during my junior and senior year of college. Every now and then, I listen to or remember a song and I’m like “Hey, that might be fun to sing.” I have a list on a piece of paper at work that I add songs to (which is also very visible to someone passing by). Here are the songs currently on it:

That’s $206,097 spent on each job since 2006 in a state that has been battling multi-BILLION dollar shortfalls in the last several years.
And how about the $9+ Billion recommended cut in teachers’ jobs? $169M pays the salary of 4,048 teachers in Texas. Doesn’t sound like a lot, but in 2011 Austin, Houston, and Dallas combined for 1,442 teacher layoffs because of the budget crisis. Perry’s failed tech fund could have paid their salaries for almost 3 years.
And yes, Perry, this is different than the 2003 shortfall. Much different. And thanks for making taxpayers pay $800k for the security for your failed presidential campaign.
Want to know where this nightmare is going? Texas doesn’t have term limits for Governors, so no one knows when this will end.

badassvegetarian asked: I would say I have quite a taste for beer. If you're affiliated/own/work with the Deep Ellum Brewing Company I'd really like to know where they're located and whether or not they offer tastings and tours.
I’m not affiliated with Deep Ellum Brewing Company (yet), but I have to say that I’m one of their biggest stans here in town, so I can definitely answer any DEBC questions.
They definitely do tours as well that are well worth the price of admission (pint glass and 3 pints of beer for a $10 ticket). From what I understand, they do tours every Saturday depending on demand (i.e. weather). The staff is very responsive through their facebook page and they are now requiring people to pre-register for tours online so they have an idea on who much beer/staff they need. The tours take place at their brick and mortar location at 2821 St. Louis Street, Dallas, TX 75226. It’s in Deep Ellum (obvi) on the South Side past Commerce and Canton.

If you get the opportunity to try some of their stuff, I would recommend the Double Brown Stout, Festivus Winter Lager, or the IPA.

We made it in the top 100 teams in the largest pub quiz in America! And my hangover only made me want to mostly die!
We were in the top 25 after 4 rounds, but it went downhill from there. Regardless, tons of fun and even a Bastrop fires joke!

Pat “the bat” Burrell has announced his retirement from baseball. Unless he signs a one day contract so he can retire with Philadelphia, a town and team that showed him nothing but love. Not normal love, though. More like angry stepfather who was laid off at the coal mine and wants you to pick up your Legos type of love. Harsh, unforgiving, misunderstood love.
