Patton Oswalt's post on the Boston bombings.

Boston. Fucking horrible.

I remember, when 9/11 went down, my reaction was, "Well, I've had it with humanity."

But I was wrong. I don't know what's going to be revealed to be behind all of this mayhem. One human insect or a poisonous mass of broken sociopaths.

But here's what I DO know. If it's one person or a HUNDRED people, that number is not even a fraction of a fraction of a fraction of a percent of the population on this planet. You watch the videos of the carnage and there are people running TOWARDS the destruction to help out. (Thanks FAKE Gallery founder and owner Paul Kozlowski for pointing this out to me). This is a giant planet and we're lucky to live on it but there are prices and penalties incurred for the daily miracle of existence. One of them is, every once in awhile, the wiring of a tiny sliver of the species gets snarled and they're pointed towards darkness.

But the vast majority stands against that darkness and, like white blood cells attacking a virus, they dilute and weaken and eventually wash away the evil doers and, more importantly, the damage they wreak. This is beyond religion or creed or nation. We would not be here if humanity were inherently evil. We'd have eaten ourselves alive long ago.

So when you spot violence, or bigotry, or intolerance or fear or just garden-variety misogyny, hatred or ignorance, just look it in the eye and think, "The good outnumber you, and we always will."

Favorite first time watch of the year so far

"No matter how long ago it was, there will always be someone to bring it all back. Because no matter what you do or think, one thing is for sure, you're always fucked. Now, tomorrow, next week or next year, until the end of time, fucked."

Irish Love

I can vividly remember the day I became a Notre Dame fan. I was 12 years old over at a buddy's house for a saturday game of backyard football. We took a lunch break and watched the second half of the Notre Dame/Purdue game. With an offense that could not score a point the Irish won the game 24-17 thanks to three defensive touchdowns and improved on the season to 2-0. I was hooked. The team would finish with a 10-3 record but a win @ Florida State was the first BIG football game I was part of. Sure I had watched and played football for years up to that but that game was the first that mattered. Since that year ND has had up and down seasons, more down, and a rival (USC) dominate for years not only against us but on the championship scene definitely didn't help morale. But all that is mute now. Brian Kelly being hired got me insanely excited (the guy took Cincinnati to a BCS bowl for god's sake) and now in his third year he has guided the Irish through a schedule that in the preseason most analysts said if they could win 8 games it would be amazing. Months later Notre Dame is 12-0 coming off a win in The Coliseum over USC and heading to the BCS National Championship. Bring on the SEC. Shake Down the Thunder. GO Irish!
