4. Team Edward or Team Jacob

Depending on how much you’ve been caught up in Phil Jackson’s desperate grip on items and accomplishments of the past, this could be perfect. No one cares about this argument any more. To be honest, I’m not sure anyone really ever did. Throwing yourself headlong into one of these two camps would be like wrapping yourself in a cozy, familiar blanket of despair.

You have two options here: werewolves or vampires. Are you a dog person or a cat person? Is Robert Pattinson hot or does he have a face of traditionally attractive features copy and pasted in Microsoft Paint by a 3rd grader for a class collage project? These are questions you could concern yourself with instead of “What is Phil doing?” Or “Why did James Dolan do that?” Or “What’s the point of anything? Ever?”

I guess you don’t have to really choose between the two. You can switch it up day to day depending on your mood. I’ve never watched the movies or read the books, but I imagine that eventually the vampires and the werewolves get along in much the same way Nets and Knicks fans can empathize with the states of distress between their franchises. I hate you, but by god do I respect you. That kind of thing.

You can do what you like with this. Maybe calling Twilight back from the dead isn’t in your best interest. Maybe it’s not in anyone’s best interest. Actually, this was a mistake. Let’s just move on and not talk about this again.
