A friend of mine shared a deeply personal story of tragedy and triumph via email recently. He’s a good writer, and usually very, very funny. This one isn’t really funny. It is long though. I got his permission to post it here. Names have been changed to protect the innocent… You might enjoy it, or […]
Before you say something, it DOES seem like I write about shit a lot. Actually, I do write about #2 every once in a while, but it’s only because there is so much to say that hasn’t yet been said.
I have an old friend, Jon (named changed to protect him), who was in the […]
Yesterday, Jay and I drove out to Reading, PA to go watch Pearl Jam in concert. It was probably my 12 or 13th time seeing them in concert, and as usual, they continue to outdo themselves. The concert was fantastic. It took 3 1/2 hours to get out there, but the 2 1/2 show was […]
Two gay men site across from each other chewing ancient sausage encrusted pizza like cows. They discuss nothing as they stare at each other, holding hands across the table. Their identical molding-mudded fauxhawks do not shake with their heads as they babble.

When I was 18,19,20, and 21, I was a gym rat. Somehow, deep inside, I found the energy to go to the gym 5 or 6 times per week. A typical week at 19 years old included 16 credits or […]
I am watching my TiVoed version of the MTV Movie Awards right now. Unusually, it sucks this year, even though the 3D award intros are awesome. I am bored, so here is a pic from yesterday and today of my head. I had to take off work today because I felt like such shit […]
Dude,
I am so totally high. Like my super high all-the-time friends are never even going to believe this. I am gonna explain over and over and they won’t buy it. First of all, I wished for 3 Muskateers candy bar to a bowl of Saltine Crackers and leftover fortune cookies, and then I reached in […]
I have always had a good sense of smell. It has been really good lately for some reason. Little did I know that it was a sign of my newly developing SUPER POWERS. Yes, super powers.
