Do you think that years on, bands wish they could change their names? Like sometimes, what sounded good way back when - today sounds cheesy/corny/douchy/moronic.
I mean, Red Hot Chili Peppers? Even U2 is corny almost 30 years on.

Never thought I’d say this, but: NJ seems real attractive right now: max NYC weekly unemployment check = $405. NJ = $584.
Mass actually has the highest in the US. The more you know, right? But then again, you have to live in Massivetwoshits.
Of course, let’s thank our elected politicians who took away the tax exempt status of unemployment. Bravo!

That’s television.
