Irreverent musings and malarkey from a disillusioned dilettante
You've heard stories about neighbors who have worn on each others' nerves about whatever it is homeowners get mad at each other about - I'll never know because I'm a Millennial and I'll be renting forever! - and eventually resort to planting or cutting down trees just to be an asshole to their neighbor. That's... Continue Reading →
When I was in eighth grade or so, burning CDs was the coolest shit on the planet. I burned SO MANY CDs, many of which I still had until I tossed them in the garbage as this form of music is roughly four iterations of music outdated by now. It was about this time I... Continue Reading →
I bet you thought I had given up on my dream of becoming The Next Great American Blogger(TM)! How mistaken you are!

But today - whoo boy, 'CIA Filipino Vampires' sounds like a Cards Against Humanity-themed Mad Lib, but really only skims the surface. Let's unravel a new spool of wonderful tales of American imperialism!... Continue Reading →
Just kidding! This isn't a college football preview as much as a discussion of college football mascots, although I fear I may have alienated the vast majority of the potential readers with a title and topic as plebeian and regional as college football. Bear with me - there is something for everyone here: corruption, animals,... Continue Reading →
