So a couple months back I was camping with some friends. We were two cars worth and were meeting at the campsite. In our car we had mixed newbies and people who were in the main social circle (I was a newbie). While briefing us on who would be in the other car we were told to avoid talking about rape because one of the girls was raped (cause yeah ( Read more... )

Life is getting up in the morning, realizing that you can kill yourself in 5 minutes using your shirt and a door handle, and then not doing it.

You can start freebird and be dead by the time the song is done.

So I was at safeway the other day and there was a woman there with a pretty severely mentally handicapped guy. The guy was a savant at spinning cups, as he was doing while his mom(?) got starbucks at the supermarket kiosk. He spun the cups with amazing skill, it was really awesome. His talents extend to raging as well, as he immediately began ( Read more... )

I was at a shopper's drugmart to buy a canned coffee and I noticed that everyone had a matching package of toilet paper. The people were like ants carrying loads of TP back to their nest as if some giant dropped a bunch of TP granules onto the ground at some kind of toilet-paper-eating giants' picnic. I followed the trail back to the discount area ( Read more... )

I was heading home from the supermarket when I passed a pair of humans walking their dogs. The humans were white, overweight, trashy. Classic S town. The woman's dog was tiny one and wasn't on a leash. It suddenly bolted into the street and ran around while she chased after it. The chase coincided with my walk home so I got to spectate as she ( Read more... )

At some point in my life I wanted to be a writer. Not like a science writer or a technical writer, but someone who wrote creative stories that were read by people and earned me rewards like money and high fives. I took a few stabs at it and achieved mostly failure with just enough encouragement to string me along. Hope is really a terrible thing ( Read more... )

SO white guy's getting evicted. His loud music and probably-STD-covered tranny hooker adventure pushed brown guy roommate to get the property manager to give white guy his eviction papers. I believe white guy had some kind of deal with the property manager where he was living there at reduced rent or something in exchange for fixing stuff and ( Read more... )

I read somewhere that the search for the philosopher's stone was largely a metaphor the alchemist's transformation during their journey of self-discovery through the study and practice of the alchemical arts. I'm not sure how much of that tradition is retained in modern academia, but I've certainly taken the road to my thesis preparation and ( Read more... )

Best pee I've had was when I was camping in the interior. It was a daily outing to go play in the river near our campsite. One day I was swimming in the river and I had to pee. So I found a shallow spot and stood up in waist deep water and peed while looking at the mountains before me as the water carried my pee downstream. It's like I was peeing ( Read more... )

So my home in surrey (I rent in burnaby but crash often in surrey) seems to be a common place for gangster gun fights. There was another shooting outside my place at around 3 in the morning. Someone must be dead because the police actually bothered to show up this time.
