Fun Friday + Giveaway!

Heyo! Welcome to another installment of Fun Friday. I have no clue what the last Fun Friday was about because I'm too lazy to look it up. So fuck it. It's my blog, I'll do what I want.

Do you SUCK?

Would you like to not SUCK?

Do you know other people who SUCK?

Would you like to tell them how to SUCK less or how to possibly become totally SUCK-free?

This edition of Fun Friday will reveal just how big of a dork I really am. See, part of the reason my life is in shambles, and only a very small part of the reason, is that I would rather be reading a book than doing just about anything involving productivity. I should really find a job that PAYS me to read. Because I will find a way to do it anyway. I thought that there is no better way to tie this into my blog than to review the books I like that I think you may like to. As an added bonus, you can enter to win the book and I'll ship it right over to you! Look at me, encouraging reading one jackass at a time.

This week's book comes to us courtesy of Dr. Dennis Leary. Yes, that Dennis Leary. I have adored this man ever since I saw part of a standup routine in which he said if his kids ever needed therapy he'd send their asses out to fucking mow the lawn. That is fucking therapy. Even if I don't always agree with his opinions, they are guaranteed to make me laugh and think. Plus, he's Irish for christ sake. How can I not love him?

Why We Suck is billed as " A feel good guide to staying fat, loud, lazy and stupid". In other words, right up my alley. Because I enjoy shambles, so why would I want to dig my life out of it? Apparently, he has written more than 15 books which is awesome and they will all be added to my ever growing reading list. With an acknowledgment like this one, you know the book is going to be stellar: "I'd like to thank everyone who ever told me to go fuck myself." The book includes a prologue titled "Why Everyone Hates Us" and I'll give you a couple of hints: Britney Spears, Anna Nicole Smith, You, Trump Vodka, and blow jobs. He moves onto expressing his thoughts on hitting children (its a do because they learn from it) to using children as a stepping stone in Hollywood (it's a don't) and includes a questionnaire on how the Kardashian gals will die (it involves drugs). The book is a satire on the workings of America- how much it sucks and how despite this glaringly obvious fact, how it is the world's greatest hope for success. If you don't win it here, pick it up at Borders for $16.00. The laughs are worth it. Now, how to win it: well, I'm looking for followers so you got to make it happen.

Was going to do a playlist, but shit this is long. So, I'll leave you with this final thought- "Carry Out" is on repeat in my car. Someone tell JT it's time for him to stop dicking around with this acting shit long enough to put a new album out. Please and Thank you.
