There’s something about being dangerous that is unbelievably exciting. I suppose that’s why “Breaking Bad” was such a huge TV show. Everyone secretly wants to be a dangerous, murderous meth kingpin. Fortunately, most people are happy to live vicariously through fictional characters instead of cooking the purest meth known to man. I’ve never been considered […]
Confrontation is an uncomfortable thing. There is nothing pleasant about it. Sure, it isn’t the worst thing I could ever have to face. If I were to be forced to choose between confrontation and an angry bear, I would choose confrontation, but only because confrontation with an angry bear would most likely end with mauling. […]
Humans are without a doubt the dumbest animal on the planet Earth. Just look at all of the creatures that are in the world. Crows are born knowing how to build tools. I would have trouble doing that and I would be using an opposable thumb, not a beak. Pigs have been trained to use […]
And now the exciting conclusion… We sat there throughout the game. Sure, I was enjoying the hockey, but I had destiny on my mind. With a minute left in the game, I gave my sister the top-secret ultra-hush-hush super-stealthy signal that it was time for my plan to be sat in motion. “Hey,” I said. “We […]
Life is much harder in the morning. Even the simplest tasks can be daunting. You can suddenly find yourself staring at a shoelace as if you were facing the summit of Everest. That is how I found myself driving down I-440 with the door to my gas tank open. It started out like many other […]
I don’t understand why movie theatres sell large drinks. They find suckers like me and post pictures of drinks, almost as if to say, “A movie is a REALLY long time to go without some sort of refreshment. Good luck with your dry and itchy throat!” I almost have no choice but to spend every […]
In our current economic state, it can be hard to make a living. There are 8.3% of Americans unemployed which translates to roughly 830 billion people (I’m not great at percentages). More than 43 million people are under the poverty line. Millions of others are underemployed. No one is making the money they […]
Dear readers, As you might have noticed, nothing was placed on my blog yesterday. There is what I feel to be a very good reason. You cannot write and drive a large truck at the same time. After a morning of loading box after box, I hopped behind the wheel of a 22’ Penske truck […]
Dear anyone I have ever emailed, Today, I was sitting at work minding my own business when an email arrived. Getting email is an exciting thing for me. As I am prone to do, I giddily clicked on my inbox, eager to see what gift the email gods had sent me. It turned out I […]
It was early in the morning when the people came outside. They carried their knickknacks and their bric-à-brac and set it up on the lawn.
