Mindset:
Sitting at my computer on a sweltering evening in the summer. Slightly drunk off of red wine bought on impulse at 7/11 on the way home from work, somewhat irritated by a strangely mild but large outbreak of poison ivy, not particularly tired due to a day mostly spent riding in the truck and sitting on the tractor. Exhilarated to ( Read more... )

Well, my ego inevitably caught up with me and decreed that I Google myself. Happily, the first results are from EverydayYeah.com (boo-yeah. read my Civil War Stories). Interestingly, something called ZoomInfo appears halfway down the first page of results. I am unable to discern how the good folks at ZoomInfo go about their business and which ( Read more... )

I never thought that I would do this. In all my years as a politically-engaged member of society, I could never imagine that I could give the United States of America the benefit of the doubt. But guess what: I think I'm about to do it. I am going to declare my love for Barack Obama.

In the interest of full disclosure:
I am currently a registered ( Read more... )

My world was just flipped upside.
Chilling realizations are now my curse.
The whole time, I thought I'd been putting oregano on my food.
Now I find out that it was cilantro.
Cilantro.

So this is what my life has come to.

   1/2 can of corn
+ 1/2 can of black beans
+ 1/2 can refried beans
+ a smattering of Tabasco
= a weird Mexican Shepherd's Pie

   2 Aderall
+ 4 Ibuprofen
+ a smattering of marijuana
+ 3 Diet Cokes 
+ 1 $0.50 burrito
+ several cigarettes                                          
= 1 awful creative writing assignment

Or at least that's what they tell me.

Since Friday at 9 PM, I have watched 20 episodes and 2 TV movies from the series Twin Peaks. All told, in the past 49 hours, 18 have been spent sleeping and 18 have been spent watching Twin Peaks. The website which had been supplying me withheld payment on episode 14 of season 2. Twin Peaks was the focal point of my life and my reason for being ( Read more... )

My mom is a feminist when she's drunk ( Read more... )

I’m really glad that Fever isn’t a drug. While I wouldn’t necessarily ever use it, I’m sure that there would be some appeal to a certain weird sub-culture of people. When I had a particularly high fever last summer, I discovered the show “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia.” The next day I thought that I had imagined it, or at least invented my ( Read more... )

Sometimes, I'm not entirely sure that my outlook on life is as healthy as it should be. I find everything funny. Everything. Even it's horrible and fucked-up, my first reaction is generally to laugh. I just thought about how there are many people who chainsmoke and live to be 80, so I might as well give it a go. Then I realized that that's a game ( Read more... )
