So this is where the magic happens.
I live in Bromley and share a suite with a couple of guys on the lax team. It's so much better than when I lived in the front four. I mean it's right next to the frat house, right next to uptown and right across from B-dubs and my RA's sweet. Bromley's where it's at, man.
My bro Kyle and I live in one side. He's pretty cool, you know. We just get each other. Once a week we clean up, together we own every season of Family Guy and his sister's really hot.
It can feel a little stale in here sometimes, though. We have our lax stuff all over, and it doesn't always smell like a bouquet of roses. And other stuff too. Like last week I challenged him to a baked bean-eating contest, and I'll tell you what, it was not pretty in the morning.
Wait, did you just fart? Nose game! hahah.
Sure, it gets messy, but I like it.
I like it that we have the Johnny Cash poster where he's flipping you off like right when you walk in. Then of course we have NPH. Here we have Bob Marley a chillin' in da corner, ja man. And the centerpiece: neon-light MGD sign right above the fridge.
And of course there's a bunch of babes in bikinis. Sure, it might make chicks uncomfortable when they come in or hook up with us, but I don't know why. It's like they think I objectify women and wish they embodied more features of the babes in my pictures.
Dumb chicks.
Well, practice is starting, I gotta split.
Peace, bro.

As I am sitting here in my imitation Mae West lips sofa, I look around my tasteful home and think about how it is a shame that no one could ever have my impeccable ability to mesh styles that should never be together and make them work.
Only I could smash the glass out of antique mirrors and use them as picture frames. I use my flair for infallible fashion to design a perfectly pinned-up dress mannequin to set up in the corner.
The key to decorating success is to be the design Messiah. You have to bring the room to life with color, shapes and nature. Even if you don't think that they really match, they probably do.
Make the room your own. For example, I have painted a mural of good lyrics and cult classic movie quotes in my bathroom so I can get inspired each and every time I shower. The organic bamboo mat on the floor really helps with the energy of the room. It is like being one with nature, but better - you picked it out.
No home is complete without a touch or two of irony. This can easily be achieved with a driftwood deer head piece, a real dear head or a retro 3-channel television that you stole from some senior citizen's front yard.
You could also just move your living room set to the front yard. This is incredibly convenient when it is nice outside and you want to rock out for your very appreciative neighbors.
Now I personally don't care what your home looks like; just know that it could never look better than mine.
