Facebooking someone after hooking up is like IMDBing a movie you've just seen: if it was good, you can enhance the experience by perusing photos and learning fun facts.

It's amazing how quickly "I absolutely must buy shampoo tomorrow" loses meaning the instant you step out of the shower.

You know what was always so fun? Pretending to come up with the answers to those insanely obscure riddles we told as kids, when clearly you've just heard it before... "I get one yes-or-no question? Okay, did he maybe, stand on a block of something and wait for it to melt and when it disappeared he had hanged himself? Yeah, thought so. Come on, give me a hard one!"

When being introduced to someone, I'd really appreciate being told upfront if I should care. Otherwise, it's inevitably: "This is Bill." (Great, good for Bill, leave me alone.) "He'll be your new boss." (Crap. What the fuck was that guy's name again?)

My goal in life is to write a sitcom so good it gets canceled.

As a general rule, the more I enjoy something, the worse it is for me. That's why stale cookies are the ultimate smack in the face.

Enough already with the obscure baseball statistics. I don't know how those poor announcers feign enthusiasm each time. They're like, "First time since 2007 that a playoff game has been played on October 13th...ah...remarkable."

I get the feeling radio commercials are deliberately peppy and melodic so we won't notice the transition from music to ads...I always find myself being like, "woah, how long have I been listening to this shit without changing the station? And why do I suddenly feel like leasing a Mazda?"

When will I learn that deleting my outbox/dialed calls doesn't make the next morning's regret go away? Sometimes I feel like drinking makes me regress to the time when a clever hide-and-seek tactic was crouching in plain view with my hands over my own eyes.

Giving a presentation on my laptop, I was unaware that I had auto-signed in to AIM with yesterday's away message "Where the fuck is the remote?" When some kid IMed me, PowerPoint minimized and I had to nosedive across the room to get "Did you check your butt?" off the screen. Thanks asshole, out of context your horrible 5th-grade joke becomes an APB to the entire room that I must be in dire need of a proctologist.

Isn't it weird to think that, for a while, the time you lost your virginity was the best sex you ever had?

Being the drunkest kid at the bar is like being the goalie in foosball. It's nearly impossible to score, you get blamed whenever something goes wrong, and all you can see in front of you are rows and rows of identical-looking guys.

If the car behind me makes the same turn I do twice in a row, no doubt in my mind: I'm being followed.

Doesn't it seem cruel (to both sides) that alcohol makes guys want sex more and more, while simultaneously rendering them less and less capable of actually having it?

Few things are scarier than being the leader of the traffic pack and being only about 70% sure that street isn't one-way...

How come when someone tells me that a person I'm about to meet is "funny," I immediately take that as a challenge?

Hotel shampoo contains about the amount that's left in my bottle at home when I throw it out. So why do I insist on stealing it, only so that, if it doesn't explode and ruin all my shit on the way home, it can sit in my shower for years and show guests how cheap I am?

Girls love to refer to other girls as "pretty, but in too obvious a way." As if we'd all rather have beauty that you really have to search for...'cause that's what every drunk, horny dude wants on a Saturday night. Brain teasers.

Does every school have that one fraternity that it takes everyone way too long to realize is 100% douchebags? They must just sit the rushes down and say, "Look, we're all huge tools, but we can offer you the distinct privilege of getting laid far more than you deserve up until the moment people notice that fact."

Dudes: we're well aware that you're full of shit when you try to hook up with us. When you succeed, it's not because you fooled us, it's because sometimes we get sick of playing defense and want to score ourselves.

I could never join AA because of that step where you call everyone you've wronged to "make amends." I can barely work up the energy to call my dad, let alone 75 assholes who probably deserved whatever I did.

When new pictures of me go up on facebook, I have to re-look at them from four different perspectives: 1) How do I think I look? 2) I pretend I'm a guy looking at my profile, I come across this picture..."is she hot?" 3) Okay, now I'm that bitch from college, this pops up on news feed..."is she having more fun than me?" 4) I'm my boss..."is she wasted?" Fuck. Detag.

How great is it waking up after a hardcore night (bloodbath, perhaps?) to find that not only did you manage to NOT lose your wallet and phone, but you somehow got yourself into pajamas and put a glass of water by your bed? ...your clothes, however, are inevitably found inches from the door, tucked in one concentric heap indicating you kicked your way out of them in milliseconds.

I bet if you tracked when ruminations are submitted, there would be huge peaks around 9 "There's no fucking way I'm starting work yet" o'clock, 12 "I'm too hungry to concentrate" o'clock, and 4 "Is it five yet?" o'clock.

What I wouldn't give for a text message auto-reply function. Today, mine would say: "Yes, I saw Brady's hit. You think having your leg crack 150 degrees in the wrong direction 'looks pretty bad'? Thank you, doctor. I thought I told you after XLII never to text me again."

Word of advice: if two people remind you of each other, but you're the only person who knows them both, keep it to yourself. I know it sucks, but "Matt looks exactly like my friend from camp!" is interesting to no one.

If someone hasn't figured out how to live on Mars by the time someone figures out how to trace who views whose Facebook profiles, we are all in big, big trouble.
