Seasons greetings from the 1986 Dallas Cowboys. Their enthusiasm during this performance echoes my sentiments for the town exactly. Notice there are no shots of people doing Christmas-y things around town. That would have meant actually finding those people outside when they are clearly inside watching TV. Plus I don’t think a video showing warm weather, traffic, and people crowded into shopping malls would really capture the holiday spirit. My family isn’t even putting up a tree this year.
We live in strange, stupid times. The increasingly corporate “Information Age” is producing some terrible results. Everything is turning to shit.

Ah, more memories. Well, not exactly. This was all shot after I left town but many of my friends are featured in this.
- People who race to be the first commenter on popular blogs
- The overuse/misuse of the idiom “jumped the shark“
- $30,000 millionaires - Somewhat of a local phenomenon. Actually, I’m torn because I like the absurdity of it. It’s just that… look, these are some seriously nauseating people. Here’s an enormous article about them. This is what I’m dealing with. This is the kind of shit…
All in all, a pretty good season of CYE. The highlight was the inclusion of the Blacks, particularly Leon (J.B. Smoove), who stole every scene he was in. Every time he spoke, I lost my shit. I really hope he returns for season 7.
