It says a lot about the endurance of the human spirit that in the midst of a catastrophe like Sandy, you still found the inner strength to chug a gallon of milk like a true meathead frat boy and presumably upload it straight to Facebook.

The disco ball is fitting, I think. You should keep wearing it.

Not sure where all this hate is coming from. "meathead frat boy"?

Thanks for having my back!

I can understand how it might look if you don't know me and there's probably a lot of people who thought the same thing.

Looking back, it was just a coping method. In the same way that I make lame jokes when I feel nervous, this was just a reaction to the idea that my life just got flipped upside down.

And I totally posted it directly to instagram. Spade is a spade, I guess.

I seriously don't understand why you're supposed to feel bad about posting 4 pictures of yourself and making a joke photo. It didn't seem that wanky to me, so it's surprising that it was able to inspire this many people to forget about human courtesy and throw childish insults on the interwebs.

I was wondering if maybe these people know you and there's some kind of subtext here or something.

It really is difficult to chug a gallon of milk, don't knock it until you try it.

I see what you're saying though. Thanks for checking it out anyway.
