Tucker Max

:::This guy is a total asshole, and I absolutely love him. My friend Eugene turned me on to Tucker Max's blog, a glittering beacon of drunken womanizing inspiration for all 20-something American males. As morally reprehensible as he may seem, you can't deny that he's hilarious, and a damn good writer to boot.

:::He started his blog in 2003 after his friends suggested he post his crazy stories of blacked-out debauchery online. Through the popularity of the blog, he's landed two book deals (the first one, I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell, was a NYT bestseller), a movie deal out of the first book, and possibly TV development deals. The Duke Law grad is basically a genius-level dude who does all kinds of dumb shit, but doesn't apologize and makes money off of his sometimes near-death and always ridiculous social mishaps. Kudos!

:::Tucker Max is actually one of the reasons I finally decided to sit down and start my own blog after months of thinking about it. Not that I expect to get anything out of doing one; but who knows! I'm already the human-AP wire for my friends and family, and I read up on anything and everything news and culture related anyway. So thanks Tucker! Click here to read his hilarious stories and all kinds of priceless life lessons!
