So Here’s My Problem, See…
Me and the ex just had another INCREDIBLE religious argument — MY FAVORITE! More heartbreak on top of being talked down to from a moral high horse? Doesn’t get any better! We like to get in touch every once in a while so she can remind me that she still loves me and would love [...]

There is no excerpt because this is a protected post.
Read More..>>So You’ve Seen the Puppy/Cliff Video, Yeah?
In the past 24 hours or so a video of an American soldier in Iraq throwing a puppy off a cliff has gotten a lot of attention online. If you haven’t seen it, I strongly suggest you keep it up. Dead fucking serious.
Now, I’ve been using the internet for a long time — I’ve fucking [...]
A Beautiful Urban Drama!
When I get out of class on Thursdays I like to stop by Rocco’s for an enormous slice of the greasiest pizza on Earth and a $2 mini-pitcher of Pabst. CUZ I CAN. Tonight, a street performer across the street caught my eye, so I took my beer outside to watch this guy do his [...]
Read More..>>Updates, Etc
Performed a bunch of maintenance-type tweaks tonight. All behind-the-scenes type stuff — upgrading Wordpress to the newest version, removing old files and plugins — nothing that changes functionality or appearance. “House cleaning.” Didn’t need to blog, but Wordpress recommends:
Consider rewarding yourself with a blog post about the upgrade, reading that book or article you’ve been [...]
Weekend Wrapup
So aside from shooting photos at the Church of Scientology protest, this weekend the excitement whale breached the surface of my ocean of existence, which in this analogy has been covered by a thick layer of ice representing the boredom of tagging MP3s and trying to find the worst-sounding chord on guitar. Unfortunately, the surface [...]
Read More..>>Trying Too Hard: A Case Study
There’s a column in one of Portland’s many alternative publications, The Mercury, into which anonymous people can send rants and raves. Sometimes the column is entertaining — most often it is not.
I like to think I’m a fairly competent bitcher. A good rant strikes a balance between effectively driving a relevant point home with juuuust [...]
Stupid Me
Coffee Shop Girl: So who are you rooting for today?
Me: ??? You mean on Tuesday?
Coffee Shop Girl: …the Superbowl.
Me: Ohhhhh… I forgot that was coming up.
Haha, honestly wasn’t trying to be smug; I seriously thought she was talking about the primaries, not football. How un-American of me.
Anybody that knows me though knows I’m a Chicago [...]
Plan B
My winter-wear of choice for the past several months has been my Plan B Skateboards hoodie which, I’ve learned, suffers from an unfortunate layout. “Plan B” is in tall, thick letters across the chest and “Skateboards” is in a much smaller, barely readable font underneath. I learned a while back — a comment from a [...]
Read More..>>Delete Your MySpace Day, Anybody?
If you haven’t heard already, the first annual delete your MySpace account day is quickly approaching. Do I have what it takes?
Despite the fact that I do all my blogging on…well, on my blog, and that Facebook is a vastly superior social networking platform and yes, I do only log in to delete spam friend [...]
