I am a changed man. 10 years in corporate America will take its toll on anyone. The constant barrage of fake bullshit can be nauseating, but I have weathered the storm and survived intact (mostly). Although I have resisted much of the stupidity that being a slave to the man entails there are some habits [...]
I gamble – not the degenerate style gambling that would drain my bank account or cause me to get my legs broken by a guy named Johnny “Roast Beef” Santucci, but rather more of a casual gambler. It is a losing proposition and the odds are against me. I understand. Sports gambling is basically an [...]
Reality TV is really starting to wear thin on me. The parodies of the parody are starting to be parodied. It is getting to the point where it is hard to determine if something is genuinely funny, ironically funny or just pathetic. People laugh at the idiots on Jersey Shore then turn around and act [...]
“Dude, the Olive Garden has the BEST fettuccine alfredo. Its amazing.” Olive Garden I heard this on the street while walking back to my apartment last night. I almost stopped in my tracks to see who could have uttered such a thing. I cannot tell you the depths of my hatred for Olive Garden, I [...]
So I was watching a program about hell and all of the horrible myths and legends that go along with the underworld (I don’t know why I watch these things but I guess my morbid curiosity wins out sometimes). The BS that writers and mystics of the past thought up to scare people into submission [...]

As usual my comments in black and her post is in red. Welcome KS and all her orally suspicious glory!] A recent discussion with [...]
I am a statistic… and I’m not referring to myself as one of the 9 of 10 doctors that agree that Tylenol is the most effective pain medicine. No, in reality, I am one of the thousands of dipshits that thought it would be a fantastic idea to buy a condo in Southern California in [...]
I was just thinking that I was going to make up some lame excuse about how I was not writing a post today when really it was because I could not think of anything to write about. Writers never get enough credit for the things that they do. Actors and actresses get all of the [...]
I walked out of my apartment today and I was greeted with the normal cavalcade of hobos doing their various hobo things when I looked in a vacant store window and saw this: Wet Willies: coming soon. Fuck. Me. This “bar” is in the same building as my apartment and although it is not directly [...]
The other day I was talking with someone and they were complaining about a random annoyance in their life. It was one of the trivial things that everyone complains about that really are not that big a deal. I don’t even remember what it was but at the end of her rant I told her [...]
