Introduction: My job is stupid. Don’t get me wrong, I like pay checks and employment, as I lack other methods for collecting said pay check, but working is just dumb. To clue you in to the environment of my mental personal hell, I’ve included a scene from this mornings antics: Method One: Boss: “Did you [...]
How would I go about throwing a fancy dinner party for upwards of 50 guests? Stage One: Denial What? Fifty people didn’t really respond to the Evite. It’s not like they all don’t know you live in a two-bedroom apartment. They don’t expect you to cook anything – you have an abortion for a kitchen, [...]
I do a lot of gaming. It keeps me from doing stupid things, like going out on weekends and spending money on excessively priced drinks.

After pondering this for about a few seconds, I started thinking, which I generally reserve for special holidays like Kwanzaa, but I digress. Therefore, I’ve used all of my [...]
Dear Ireland, I am sorry. I am sorry that so many people these days claim they are Irish—on their great-great-grandmother’s side. Frankly, that’s annoying. But most of all I am sorry after so many many years, American films still portray you as a backwoods buffoon full of leprechauns who gnaw on cornbeef and chug Shamrock [...]
Everyone loves a good yarn about Vikings and inexplicably childlike Native Americans and eyeballs flying all over the place, right?
