Life is incredibly unfair.

Dick Clark, dead at 82. The thought of it makes us sick to our stomach. Is a world without "the oldest teenager" even a world worth enduring?

While all hope may seem lost, we're here to remind you that there're still plenty of awesome reasons -- at least ten of them -- to live through the weekend. And if not for us, do it for Dick. It's what he would've wanted.
