An End to a Good Year

It's been a while since I've written on here. I've missed it quite a bit. If I have one New Year's Resolution, it's going to be to write more on here. Some politics, some cultural observations and musings, and probably a lot of music. A lot of music.

In that vein, let's kick off our 2010 Summary with a Top Albums Countdown.

Preseason Hopes

6 hours til tipoff on a brand new season. A new leaf. A brand new chance to start over and kick ass. I can't explain just how excited I am for the completely revamped Nets.

It's also a great way to distract me from the fact that the most important team in my life isn't playing in the World Series tonight.

The People Can't Be Trusted to Choose Their Own Drinks

...at least, that's what Washington's State Attorney General wants you to believe.

In a recent public statement made regarding the recent incident at Central Washington University, Attorney General Rob McKenna (who is in no way related to my college, thank God) has called for federal food regulators to hand down a national ban on Four Loko, the notorious energy drink/malt liquor hybrid that has become a staple on many college campuses.

The Name Change

Why rename the blog "Anthems for the Earnest"? I guess "Like It Or Not" just wasn't sitting well with me.
I also wanted the name to mean something. And aside from being the title of a spectacular song by an equally fantastic band (see below), I'd like to think it stands for a lot more positivity as well as personal responsibility, two things that I've basically come to value above all else over the last few years.
Oh, and the URL had to go. Having my name as the web address? Lame.
