We should have called it the ‘Better Than Nothing Act’. I’ve never liked calling it ‘Obamacare’. It wasn’t his idea. It was what goddamned Mitt Romney enacted in Massachusetts, and it existed as an idea long before that. The name made…

The funny one
Knock, Knock. Who’s there? Nazi? Nazi who? Nazi best time to lose your sense of humor, is it? I keep hearing that the next few years are going to be an absolute disaster for everything except comedy. I want to hold…
Social Anxiety
We were looking for fun. We were seeking adventures. We’ve uploaded excuses, and faded old pictures. Flirting with possibilities, and drawn out suspense. Seized on the moment, made the must of events. Flattered with platitudes. Offered little more. Didn’t worry about payout. We’ve been here before. Stripped of…
No answers here.
I’m hurt. I’m angry. I’m sad. I’m hopeless. I’m disappointed. I’m perplexed. I could probably go on, but the rest would be synonyms of the same shit feelings. How did we do this? Wait, no, we didn’t do this. I didn’t…

Ep001-Random-Musings
So, here it is. Episode 1-Guns-A-Blazing. This podcast thing is going to take time. Maybe I’ll never be any good at it. That’s ok with me. This is one of those things I want to say I’ve done, and will…
The One w/ Eye Contact
I’m regularly described as ‘shy’, ‘introverted’, or ‘quiet’ by people who know me ‘irl’. Generally, I just nod and shrug, but recently I took a few minutes to ponder if that’s accurate. Am I? Do I avoid talking to…
My difficulty with silence
It’s not that I like to hear myself speak. In fact, I can’t really stand my voice. I just find it impossible to sit in silence. Twitter helps a lot. It’s basically a really slow conversation where people put up…
