1. lonelysandwich: This and this are kind of so inspiring coming from JGA (a man already long on the inspiring) they send shivers down my spine to the top of my asscrack, where my @fireland 4EVA tat will ne’er be lasered from its verdant canvas. Yes, yes, yes. I personally consider Josh one of the smartest, funniest, and most effortlessly gifted people I’ve known. Tonight, he kicked it to another level. For every peanut gallerist who thinks creativity is an existential trust fund that $deity capriciously bestows upon a “lucky” handful of geniuses for whom everything is “easy,” please go read J’s actual words. Then step away from the Xbox, and the failblogs, and the tip-shoveling web teats just long enough to scrawl this little koan over that chair where you keep gamely hoping luck will arrive: The good ones sweat it, because sweating it makes you one of the good ones. Like countless of the scores of improbably charming nerds I hugged, admired, and bourboned alongside over the past few days, Josh Allen is absolutely one of the good ones.
