I have a confession to make.
I don’t–

I’m a pretty smart dude. I’ve spent almost 85% of my years as a student. I can do long division and F.O.I.L.1 I also played sports as a kid. I’ve already mentioned my basketball days, but [...]

Not too long ago, a friend honestly-joked1 that I am a contrarian. And I have to admit, it was a brilliant set-up. Because guess how you deny being a contrarian. Exactly. “Am not” is oxygen to an open flame.2
I got to thinking; a hobby done best while whittling vanilla wafers into suggestive [...]

After reading an op-ed in Time, I realized this blog has been missing something. Can you guess? Other than “piss,” it’s the other six words Carlin noted the FCC won’t let us say on TV. Actually, I guess it’s a bunch of their derivatives and sidekicks, too.
I’ve gone lengths to avoid them, even quoting a [...]

It was somewhere around 4pm yesterday that I remembered the photo I had snapped the day before.
If you’ve ever been aboard Metro’s red line between Gallery Place and Metro Center, you’ve noticed that the inner walls of the tunnels feature fragmented, flip-book-like advertisements. There’s a series of still-shot posters that appear as moving images when [...]

dear Me,

Learn to play this. Now. Do it. Do it. You know how unrighteously you sucked at the violin. And though you’ll be nice with that trumpet for years to come, learn this. Now. You heard me.

We are also not the “armpit of America” or “where New Yorkers go to urinate” or “what happens when land developers get bored…” But this post is [...]
