For most people, I’m talking people my age in my hemisphere, Christmas lost it’s luster before puberty set in, hell, before double digits it lost it’s magic, but you were still happy about plasti...

I’ve been under the weather; full disclosure? For a few weeks now, but it’s not all the time. I know under the weather covers a multitude of slimy things from Ailin’, doing poorly to a hitch in t...

It’s been a strange couple of days, not in a bad way, or, even objectively a strange way. Subjectively my head has been a strange thing to have on my neck. I wrote a couple of orphans. Wait, no, ...

I’m not really a very difficult person, though, I suppose that depends on who you ask, and with all due respect, perhaps generously due, those other motherfuckers lie. I’m only difficult when the...
