If Owl City and my girl both drowning and I can only save one catch me at my girls funeral with ten million fireflies

This is the perfect post to read before I finally put my phone down. What a way to go out. Goodnight kings

Fidelity by Regina Spektor came our in 06. That's another one I have on my phone.

that song bangs.

also everyone else hasn't appreciated how good Everywhere is. please watch

Yeah, Everywhere is going to be in my head for a while now. Recently I went through a bit of a phase of listening to stuff I liked in 8th grade, and a lot of it is pretty bad. But you know what song I'm pretty sure actually bangs...... Addicted by Simple Plan

what's your favorite early 2000 alt/pop-rock-ish chick singer song? I used to think it was Vanessa Carleton's 1000 Miles, but the other day I heard Michelle Branch's "Everywhere" on the radio for the first time in a long time. I forgot how good this song is. It's been stuck in my head for going on 2 weeks.

Avril ranks up there pretty high too.

I can't think of one every time I think of a song its from the 90s.

well then what's your favorite 90s one?

The first song that came to me was Crucify by Tori Amos.

Yeah that's a really good one. I remember it.

Last Sunday, my brother and I did the 3 hour drive back down to the cities, so we listened to some old school tunes, mostly from Dave Mirra's Freestyle BMX 1 (ps1) and 2 (ps2)
do you guys remember this shredder?

It's like shitty Blink 182 that doesn't wear deodorant

Hot damn, the Rockies are back in playoff position. I know you're probably thinking the Cards are done but I felt that way after the Dodgers swept us so this shit will probably continue to see-saw to the very end.

I'm revisiting Mighty Gunvolt Burst as Gunvolt now but this doesn't seem any different than Beck to me. I don't know if there are slight changes to the levels since it's been a while, but gameplay wise the play style is pretty much exactly the same except for his super attacks which I don't really even use

Man who could forget Fat Lip. That was a classic in its time. Sum 41 is one of the bands I liked a lot at that age that are pretty hard to listen to now. It's still fun to listen to sometimes because it brings you back, and it isn't like it's all awful, but music hits you in different ways over time so I was just listening to them at the right time back then.

The two bands I would say I could still listen to beyond pure nostalgia are Green Day and Blink. Green Day I will always have a soft spot for for sure because they were my first favorite band.

The funniest band from that time, and mercifully I was never a fan, was definitely Good Charlotte.

Yeah dude I agree with you about Green Day and Blink. Both of them are kind of "our generation" bands that might have a chance of aging well and making it past our timeline in music history. They're not gonna be the Beatles or anything, but I still enjoy them.

I never liked Good Charlotte, but I gotta say...the Anthem is kind of a good song. Boys n Girls and Lifestyles of the Rich and the Famous are bad songs, but cheesy in a good way and good for some nostalgia.

OMG. I just remembered In Too Deep by Sum 41. The music video makes me wanna die but the song makes me remember growing up

Is there anything more 2003 punk rock than playing music in an emptied out underground pool talking about how school sucks with your 200 closest friends who have bleached spiked hair and also happen to be members of the Ramones?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=desJKYvdq9A" data-time="

I thought Fat Lip was a Limp Bizkit song and In Too Deep was like 311 or Sublime. Or I should say those sound like they could be song titles from those bands, listening to them now they obviously don't sound like them

It appears I'm getting "fat lip" from the lyrics to Break Stuff but I can't solve the other one

You're mentioning all these nostalgia trip songs but it's funny to me because I still kind of live in that era music-wise. So yeah, I remember those songs that I heard last week.

Except Good Charlotte. I have standards.

Blink is obviously way better than bands of their era, same with Sublime like 5 years before Blink.

Wow the Dodgers tied it in the ninth. I'm so SHOCKED!

Our old Twins boy Eduardo Escobar rescued us

Lol I forgot about that. He added to the legend tonight in my mind

If the Rockies win out then at worst they tie for the division, which I know is a ridiculous thing to expect, but YOU NEVER KNOW

Not professional sports related, but I am now the head coach of our freshman football team.

Congrats! That seems pretty professional to me. I'd tell your squad to keep their elbows up and hope to catch some throats

That's actually really cool

Congrats, that's cool. Plus it's the freshman team so no one expects it to be good.

Congrats! Please don't be one of the crazy ones who gets on tv for being so awful to the kids

Holy shit the chiefs are getting Earl Thomas? Man I hope they win the super bowl because this could be really sad

Did the trade happen?

Are the Seahawks tanking, or what? I don't know what they're doing. They better invite Jordan Peterson back for guidance

Yeah kinda, you remember their offseason right? They gutted the defense and the O line is still bad. And Earl thomas wanted a new contract

The Legion of Boom all got paid elsewhere. The Seahawks should have traded them when they had the chance.

Yeah I knew he had a contract situation but now pretty much just Wilson is the last of their core guys left. It would be crazy if they ended up trading him. Crazy as in you never see that happen in the NFL, not the bad idea kind of crazy. Well, it probably isn't a good idea either.

Did you guys see this new Pokemon that's a fucking extra-melted looking Ditto with an oversized nut for a head? Like what the fuck even

This is why I never got into Pokemon, sure there are some cool ones, but there are so many ridiculous contrived ones. And they somehow keep "discovering" new ones like 100 at a time or however the story goes

Yeah rescuing the princess for the 10000th time is much more fun.

I would say I am a casual Pokemon fan(?). I played a couple of the games when they came out and will play Pokemon Go once in a while. I agree though some of them are dumb looking and seem like they are scraping the bottom of the barrel with a lot of them now.

Have to agree with this take. You never got into Pokemon because you just didn't, not because of any kind of logical argument against it.

Yeah someone who admittedly never got into it is complaining about something he doesn't know anything about. I bet you $100 that chewy can't name a single pokemon (if he does he cheated and used google)

Nice try, that's a suckers bet and you know it. He can MAYBE get one syllable of one Pokemon's name if I'm being generous.

Chewy at age 8: why are you all playing Pokemon. The ratio of cool designs is far too low

Meltan is the hex nut Pokemon. Withhold judgment until we've seen the fanged bolt Pokemon and the Allen wrench Pokemon

Okay I wasn't into the games mainly because they're RPGs but when I stopped being interested in Pokemon as a whole I realized how lame many of them are. But I was also being an edgy "I'm too cool for this fad" kid so I guess take that as you will. I still stand by my point that there are a lot of dumb Pokemon though

By your description, when you said nut I imagined a melted Almond Joy or something.

Pokemon always had some lame designs but that's why you surround yourself with the ones you like and beat up the ugly ones. More life lessons learned from Pokemon.

For there being like 900 of them I think the rate of truly stupid ones is pretty low. The trash Pokemon is cool and so is the ice cream cone

there can only be one highlander

I don't think Kawhi's laugh was that bad. It's much funnier that when asked about what kind of guy he is all he could come up with was "I like to have fun" and "basketball"

Yeah the way he says "I'm a fun guy" in such a monotone voice is pretty hilarious. Then I realized that's probably how I sound whenever I answer questions in a job interview

It's not that bad, especially since he clarified that media would have to ask more specific questions to get to know him.

I should block you for this

Wow I just looked at the standings and noticed that the mets and phillies both have 666 runs scored and 698 runs allowed

I know the moment passed but this video is so fucking funny to me

Last post from my S7. It's been the best phone I've ever had. Over 2 years old and still works okay. Just slow and the battery life has gotten bad

Press F to pay respects
