Awkward Pose of the Week: The Lean

Warning: this fan favorite isn’t for the conservative family. This is a pose for the clan with sass, one that wants to convey, “Heads up!” “Coming at ya!, “In your face!” “Take a closer look,” and of course, “You rang?” Combine with two arm-fold-book-ends and you’ve got yourselves an album scorcher.

Awkward Email Greg’s Response

Just a quick response from the author of the unintentionally hilarious email… Yes I absolutely deserved to lambasted for criticizing the writing here in an email that makes me appear to be barely literate. I walked headfirst, hubristically into that trap. And honestly, because I don’t post on the internet much, it was sort of thrilling to BE the douchebag laughingstock who gets slammed by a gazillion anonymous di**-weeds taking pot shots. It’s like the cheapest fame you can get. I mean that’s what the internets are for, right? And my unsolicited advice was absolutely the same type of thing as the guy who goes up to a band and tells them how they could improve. But in my defense, I love receiving constructive criticism. I really had the best of intentions and was being sincere. And the sad truth is that somewhere in my mid twenties I noticed myself mistaking homophones when writing i.e. here/hear, meet/meat. Maybe it’s a form of brain damage? I was late for a meeting and just puked out that email without giving it a second look and I have learned my lesson. So n-e-ways tahnks for reeding my awkward apologia. And yes I think vice “dos and don’ts” are fantastic and who the fu** would say “don’t listen to someone who compares this to vice dos and don’ts”. A big fat sniveling dipsh**, that’s who. xoxo
