Saturday night plans change quickly when they are not concrete. Dancing, movies, live music, staying in trying to convince myself to write, starting weekly column at 12midnight because they’re due Sunday at 3p.m. even though I’ve had all week. I am my sister’s fallback company for concerts because I rock (oh, wait a minute, [...]

Remembering

I am young, but I used to be younger. When I was younger I thought that (the rapper) Method Man and I had a chance at a life together. I was beyond what most would call a “tomboy;” I was a young man with a pair of tits and no penis. In his video “All [...]
My affinity for mashed potatoes

I still have a problem spelling potatoes. I always want to add an “e” to the singular. Trying to summon one of my earlier memories of mashed potatoes, before my brain had developed enough for me to form words, is harder than I thought it would be. It isn’t easy being so specific. I [...]
Incense Burners

Another group of people I like to make fun of. Like Hipsters, Incense Burners (IB) occupy their own special place within society and likewise within the larger community of “alternative” cliques (or more adequately–clichés). One must be careful when attempting to identify an IB. Rather than distinguishing IBs based on their style of dress or [...]
Grandma’s advice on men

Sidenote: Sade can sing to any facet of love or inadequacy.
Above is a picture of my grandmother wearing my blue wig. She never even knew we put it on her. She is 75 years old now and in the early stages of Alzheimer’s. She has six daughters. She has twelve grandchildren and four great-grandchildren. She [...]
MY denture adhesive is “Polygrip”
Posted in Funny, Journal, Writing, broke as hell on August 5, 2006 | 2 Comments »
This was the funniest sentence I’ve heard today. I am going to tattoo it on my lower back so that I can be sexy. I’ll go back to writing, which is what this blog is supposed to be about. I know that I am posting so frequently because I am avoiding writing my novel. [...]
These posts are getting too long/Finals/Group Projects
Posted in Final Exams, Finals, Funny, Humor, Writing on July 27, 2006 | 1 Comment »
Breaking this up a little bit because I have to write 4 pages (single-spaced) within an hour. I have to make it sound all “academic” but this professor isn’t as easily fooled as my former ones because he actually wants content–so now I will have to “smagerize,” a term I made up which is almost [...]
When You Pee Standing Up

Writing is misery and writers want to die. The ones who write inspirational 600-page books make me wanna puke. This morning I met with with some folks from “EA” (SUNDAY 16th). I know/hope that they are not reading this right now. Sometimes, I get really tired of tree-hugging, hippie, lefty, protesty people and I just [...]
