I spent part of today thinking about how much I dislike TV and then I thought, "Well, Will, if you dislike it so much, then how would you make it better?" or, more specifically, "Alright, if every show sucks, then how would you go about making a better show?" So, I thought, okay, what show would I like to see on TV, and then this idea just hit me ( Read more... )

I'm back. Now, I know that these were all the rage about six months to a year ago, but I'm doing one now. Actually, I don't think enough people did this version.

I'm sorry. It's true. I fucking love guns. I'll just come right out and say it: I love them. I get up on the wrong side of the bed far too often not to. I realized this fact this morning during econ. This totally makes me a bad liberal. Liberals are supposed to hate guns, and I claimed that I did for years. Well, I'm not going to lie to ( Read more... )

Just after the last presidential election, I wrote an entry called "Welcome to the wonderful world of fascism" in which I ranted about how our country had become a one-party system. Although this was merely an angsty, hastily written conspiracy theory, I became aware yesterday that my entry was somewhat grounded in truth. My professor for my ( Read more... )
