Today I am tired. Not like not-enough-sleep tired. Like tired of the world tired. Exhausted from the world. I’m tired of the world being full of stupid assholes who refuse to get it. I’m tired. And I’m angry. And I’m tired of being told that I’m too angry. And I’m angry because I’m tired and I’m angry that I can’t be anything but angry. Yesterd... »
Yesterday was April Fools’, a special holidday for assholes act like themselves and then be like WHAT? IT’S APRIL FOOLS! LIGHTEN UP, BRAH. The entire world turns into scammers and the entire world turns into skeptics. I admit that I am a huge fan of the well-done prank. Historically, I’m a lover of April Fools’ Day. But lately I’m finding it tired and boring. I feel l... »
Today, SCOTUS (that’s the Supreme Court of the US… and not to be confused with any male genitalia) heard testimony regarding Prop 8, the California amendment banning anything that is not good old fashioned opposite-sex marriage. And now they’re playing coy about the whole thing by not laughing with Roberts being all “Why the fuck are we even listening to this shit? This is ... »
Yesterday I followed along watching the voting and ultimate selection of the new pope. I imagine a lot of folks wondered a lot of things, like I did: Why black & white smoke? What are they really doing in there that can’t be seen? Who thought up all those crazy hats? It’s the hat one that stuck with me once Pope New was announced. And then introduced. And then dressed in many lay... »
I’m behind schedule… again… as always. Today it’s because I have a sick daughter, with a fever boogers gushing out of her face. And my son was sent home from school with blood gushing out of his face. It’s fucking gruesome here. And I’m monitoring asthma symptoms and watching for concussions. I just sat the kids down in front of the TV, “Nobody cough, nobo... »
Food. What the hell, right? Who even knows what’s healthy anymore? I’m pretty much at the point where if I see something in the health-food aisle, I assume it’s stupid, over priced, and overhyped. I feel like just going ahead and letting my kids become illiterate… which is apparenlty exactly the kind of thing that happens if you ever let them eat a fucking Pop Tart heated i... »
I’d like to claim there was no post yesterday because we were observing the National Day of Unplugging. Um, did you even know there was a National Day of Unplugging this weekend? “The National Day of Unplugging is a 24 hour period – running from sunset to sunset – and starts on the first Friday in March. The project is an outgrowth of The Sabbath Manifesto, an adaption of our ancestors... »
It occurred to me that I might be a grown up. I mean, I look around and all my friends are like full grown fucking adults. They have jobs, own businesses, own houses… some of them own multiple houses. They have cars. And graduate degrees. And then I was like wow… I’m 36 and married and have kids and know people with houses and jobs and graduate degrees and they’re not my mo... »
