At 26, he’s been a YouTube sensation with Derrick Comedy, wrote for the critically-acclaimed comedy “30 Rock,” and stars in another hit NBC comedy, “Community.” Then … [Read more…]
I don’t tend to follow too many TV shows, so I was excited when my Twitter feed blasted this at the top of my screen [via Donald Glover]: Community just got picked up for a second season.

Hey folks, Gonna make this one quick and then I’m going to take the weekend off. I recently recieved a comment for my Coheed & Cambria post that was not only in poor taste, but horribly written, argued and against the entire point of this blog.
