So, my Intern is leaving today (sad robot face). It's been a bittersweet month. I've enjoyed not being low man on the totem pole, yet his consistent slurping of his coke has caused me great distress. FYI...we've been sharing my office.
The Intern is moving on from my firm to go teach tennis up in the Northeast and then on to Spain for a study abroad program. Seriously, what in the F!? In case you don't know how clueless a 20-year-old is, I highly recommend getting an Intern. You will feel a lot better about yourself, and your bosses will too, relative to this young person who scans bros-icing-bros vids all day. It really reminds me of the carefree days o' college. You may be asking yourself: "Is JZ about to hit me with some hardcore reminiscing?" The answer to that is: Highly Probable.
I was scanning the ghosts of Ipod Playlists past, with names including (but not limited to): C'mon Naw, Die New Best Friends, Secret Party, and Totally Cancelled...I came across an old College Fave: Death Wish. BTW, I was a child of metal, hence the fascination with death...I digress. Many an afternoon running down Duval was spent listening to Death Wish and derivatives thereof. Integral to a healthy College-age JZ listening session, was a large dose of Arcade Fire. When you have seemingly infinite time, it's amazing how many times you can listen to the same song. "Wake Up" provided the perfect "it's bizness time" jolt for the beginning of a run or the beginning of a night of partyness via 6th Street.
I don't wanna get all preachy about the song, but it's a great coming of age song. Kinda makes me wanna stand in front of a girl's house with a boombox over my head blaring this...J slash K.
Here's a video featuring Arcade Fire with the king of Glam/Mod, and a personal hero of mine: David Bowie

Turning every good thing to rust"
Shout out to my boy Chris on this the day of his birth. Your Moo-Cow is in the mail, amigo, via Nashville.
Hope you Dig,
JZ
