There was this article this weekend in the paper about these four dudes in New York. All close enough to 40 that we might as well just call them 40. They live together in a giant 2-story apartment in Astoria, Queens, and have lived together in various apartments since graduating college. In 1994. The house itself sounds like a coo place for four bachelors, with rooms that don’t share walls, 3 bathrooms, a garden and bunch of nerd gear (dvd collections, collectible toys, role playing games). And the guys don’t seem like weirdos. They all have jobs, artistic pursuits and their time as roommates has turned them into an extended family. And I can’t imagine I’m the only guy who would read that article and think, “Well, that sounds pretty good.”

Also, assumes that you will have made it through life without developing any taste or the ability to spend your own money or make your own choices. Let’s all decide not to be this guy when we grow up, ok? (except for the part about having TONS of money)

Feds to European party-bros: ‘watch your tweets’
There are a couple lessons to all new adults in the story of Irish party-bro Leigh Van Bryan, who wasn’t allowed into America, after the Department of Homeland Security saw a tweet where Mr. Leigh announced he was planning to “destroy America”. Mind you, he didn’t tweet it in the sense that he was going to literally destroy America. (I mean, look at him. This guy is as American as The Jersey Shore). He tweeted the message in the sense that he was going to “paint the country red”. (And I don’t mean commie red). And he got turned away at LAX. One agent actually told him “You’ve really messed up with that tweet, boy,” You can read the details here, but that’s basically the gist.
