At trivia last night, I didn't pay for any booze or food the whole night. Once my friends had left, I decided to stick around for a quick smoke. After my smoke, I hit the ATM and got $20 so I could tip the bartenders for giving me my...
There really is no light at the end of the tunnel, right? Come on, that's not so bad. The tunnel's pretty nice, you know? Maybe we can pitch a tent here, have some coffee, and chat about tunnel life. That doesn't seem so bad, does it?...
Novelty is a real bitch, isn't it? What, you mean like how I can't come up with a better opening tag? Or the fact I use opening tags at all? Come on man, I'm trying to make art here. Anyway, having small moments (three-hour stretches) of...
If I get famous, that means they're trying to kill me. Not that I'd ever get famous, right? Right? I'm kidding, but honestly, I'm still reeling a bit from that post I made yesterday. More than anything, it's hard to see why "they" would...

Can you believe we made it to another day? Can you? I took a late afternoon nap yesterday, and yet again I had a series of strangely vivid and metaphysically discombobulating dreams. The highlight from these dreams: I was watching a...

Your browser does not support the video tag. I keep returning to this thought on IQ, so I have to write it down before it drives me insane. I've been in a lot of online spaces where people place so much stock in that number, like it...
"I don't know what you are, but you have to die." That's what I said to a bug that flew in my face while I was smoking on my back patio the other night. I'm scared of bugs, okay? Anyway, saying something like that on completely...
