We Reveal: Things We Can No Longer Tolerate

Surprise of the Century!  The writers for OMGJeremy are a bunch of grumps and can complain all day long about absolutely nothing!  And then can write about it!  This is because we are “humor writers” and observational humor is easy, but it is even easier when it is actually trying to just mask a lot of whining.  Although, we’re not saying that we successfully masked a damn thing here.  The other problem with our crankiness is that we are slowly turning into elderly people, so occasions that used to not even register as anything to be annoyed by are becoming events that can make or break an entire day via causing an Anger-Aneurysm or Hate-Heart Attack.  Watch out because in ten years, we will be writing about how mad it makes us when a kid touches the house thermostat, or how these damned windows let the heat just fly right out in the winter.  I assume at that age, most concerns involve heating bills.  Anyway, read on, reader.

Flashback Tuesdays Presents: MakeOutClub Aborted Site Review

I originally wrote this in 2003 or 2004, back when I was able to feel disgust at the hipsters of the time, which seem to be exactly like the hipsters of today, actually.  When we rediscovered this on the wayback machine, all of the images were lost, so I have had to go back to MOC – WHICH STILL EXISTS – and harvest new, modern images.  This was a tragedy for me.  But the real tragedy is that the people I originally reviewed are probably all the people who now run blogs about home decorating and/or quirky food and raise ugly children with stupid names.  Enjoy if you can!

An OMGJ Brand “Enjoy Music Adventure” Featuring: Disco Tex and the Sex-O-Lettes

There are many ways to hear about music that is new to you.  You can be the sort of person who actively seeks it, or you can let it come to you.  You can explore and master specific genres, or you can just listen to whatever floats on by.  You can be introduced to music by a friend, or you can just happen upon it by happy accident.  Listen, I am mostly saying that you can take Musical Destiny by the horns with your own two hands, or you can stand on a hill, smelling a flower and looking up at the clouds and be taken by surprise as Musical Destiny charges you from behind and gores you in the kidney region of the back.  I usually am the sort of person who is gored, every time.

the Tough Mudder

I have done many things over the last few years that I couldn’t have imagined doing even 5 years ago.   Admittedly, 5 years ago I was a miserable wreck of a human being– living in a house with 4 roommates, watching terrible old movies,  playing Nintendo all day, and drinking heavily every night to forget how horrible my day-to-day life was.   I realized I was headed nowhere fast, and thanks to a series of bad decisions that led to me wrecking a car and then spending a few weekends in a state monitored facility with 50 of my closest friends, I decided it was time to make a bunch of useful changes.  Now I’ve moved out of that house, got my shit relatively together and now I’m a much less miserable person– watching terrible old movies, playing Nintendo all day, but only drinking on the weekends because I’m “Responsible.” (more…)

Some Nightmares Skitter and Go By the Name “House Centipede”

I have put off writing my part of the series of Bug Week articles we decided to do.  I have put it off for almost two months now.  Why?  It is because I am a coward when it comes to things that have so many legs, and because I am psychologically fragile and need to only see a picture of an insect and then well, it is like I see them everywhere and feel them on me.  (more…)
