Why are you a Bastard? Because you’re Crazy.

In my estimation all women are crazy and all men are bastards. Don’t ask me how it works - I think It has something to do with Testosterone, Etstrogen or maybe Chlorophyll.  No matter how hard a guy tries there is always a percentage of him that at his core is an asshole and craziness just comes naturally to women [...]

Top Nine Friday – Denizens of the Salt Mine Edition

I work in a salt mine…  Actually, I used to work in a salt mine.  Wait… that’s not true either. The term salt mine was coined by my brother about 6 years ago when I was working at a shitty call center grinding through my 7-4 shift Tuesday through Saturday slinging Direct TV equipment.  He was visiting me for [...]

“Experimenting” with Drugs and Booze

Sooo… I have been conducting a little experiment with myself for the past few weeks.  I took my Dad up on a $100 bet and agreed to lay off the sauce for 30 days.  I have about a week left and my sobriety has ranged from a non-issue to a night-ruiner and everywhere in between.  I have not written a lab [...]

Everything Happens for a Reason?

“Everything happens for a reason.” I hear it all the time whenever someone talks about things that have happened to them in the past.  Why do so many people believe that to be true?  The idea that events are culminating into some grand plan which will eventually put the individual in some sort of more [...]

Top Nine Friday – “Up and AT THEM” Edition

For this edition of Top Nine Friday I wanted to examine a television show that has been close to my heart ever since I was just a youngster playing with GI Joe and avoiding getting my ass beat by my older brothers.   That show is M.A.S.H… just kidding, I hate that fucking show.  Just hearing [...]

The Aggravation Index

I am so happy to be living in the era that I exist in right now but there are things about the mechanisms and customs of life that seem to be built solely to piss me off.  I have been accused of being a procrastinator or lazy because I don’t want to get my dry cleaning, buy stuff for [...]

Theory of Normalization

This idea is something that I have been thinking about for a while and it has to do with the overall perception of well being that any person feels in any situation.  Pretty broad, I know, but the thought process behind it is so simplistic yet is completely opposite from how people perceive the current [...]

Top Nine Friday – End of The World Edition

If I am looking to buy a book, rent a movie, or watch a TV show there is one subject that I will choose over anything else – the apocalypse.  From your standard 99.99% deadly virus to a global infestation of zombies to a nuclear holocaust I love me some world destruction.  Basically they are all the [...]

Time… to begin

I have always had a secret obsession with the passing of time.  The general workings of life fascinate me more than almost anything.  Part of this obsession has to do with the various ways that I catalog the happenings in life.  My memory sucks.  It does, it always has, and some drug/alcohol dabbling here and [...]

Reason for Musical Ambiguity

What is it about music that makes people say they are interested in all types and really “don’t like any specific style”?  A guaranteed response from anyone who you ask “What type of music do you like?”, will be, “Nothing specific really, I like everything except maybe X style and Y style of music.”  No other [...]
