Morrissey- World Peace is None of Your Business

It’s been 5 years since Years of Refusal, the last album Morrissey released, and in that time I dived deep into his and the Smiths’ back catalogue, so that this was the first album of his I was eagerly anticipating. I kept telling myself that I would love it no matter what, because Morrissey’s flair for melodrama seemed to flow from an endless well and I’d be able to relate to his overstated misery.

Spike Jonze’s “Her” comes out on DVD/ Blu-Ray today. I think it was an alright movie, but I wasn’t really a fan of Joaquin Phoenix’s character. Ted Twombly was kind of beta and ineffectual. I really feel that the movie would have been a lot more interesting if it had been real man Ron Swanson in the starring role.

The Six Types of Guys You Will Find on Tinder

My sister recently showed me the Tinder game on her phone because I had no idea what it was. Turns out it’s a really boring game where you sort people. It got really gruelling after a while because there were only six types of guys I noticed and the levels take a really long time to beat. I don’t think I got past level one.

The 80’s and 90’s were filled with PSA’s and programming promoting literacy. An important trait for sure, and one that should continue to be nurtured. Be selective about what you’re reading though; the written world is just as fraught with pitfalls as any of the other media spheres. Literature isn’t immune to hacks. A Buzzfeed listicle doesn’t really count, and Divergent barely moreso. Read more non-fiction, more hard news with less opinion and speculation and just FACTS. You know what’s unbiased and strictly facts? MATH.

Millennials, take up a habit of doing numerical problems. Every day challenge your brain  with a little trigonometry, algebra, calculus, and others in that family. It wards off brain deterioration and also turns you into an analytical, practical genius…so…win-win.

4. Have a Hobby.

So few millennials regularly practice any sort of art or craft, something with a tangible result. Something that they can brag about and update people on and eventually suddenly become an expert on. Something you can develop over the years and keep you occupied when you are older. So find something and start doing it TODAY. This will reduce wasted time. What else are you going to do in your spare time? Drink and do nothing? Sit around watching television on your iPad?
