I’ve had very little to write about for the last week or so, and it just hit me why that is. This blog is built around negative emotions, mostly bitterness and self-loathing, and I’ve been feeling very good lately. I’ve lost weight, I’ve had a religious experience, and I’ve met someone who’s rather [...]

I took the Mensa test yesterday and I think I did pretty well. If I get in, I hope they give me mind bullets.
That’s telekinesis, Kyle.

I just realized I should make a post about this. Dreamhost is the web host I use for this blog, and they’re damn good. You get unlimited bandwidth and storage space, and it’s $11 a month if you pay month to month, or much cheaper if you pay in advance. If you’ve [...]

Last night I applied for six jobs, but I filled out one application.  The City of Chicago has some kind of youth job thing to try and keep our generation from falling into the despair trap of unemployment.  The jobs are diverse and through different departments in the city, but you fill out one application [...]

I made tomato sandwiches today that came out great.
You take a fresh tomato and cut it into four thick slices (after cutting out the stem, of course), and add the slices to a pan. Take half a small onion (or a quarter of a large one) and slice it into rings, then add those [...]

I was recently faced with evidence that my guess at how the universe works, my religion, was wrong.
When I was a young kid, I was pretty into being a Christian.  I asked plenty of questions, but I was a solid believer and didn’t expect that to change.  At age eleven, I lost the faith.  Something [...]

Hip hooray and butterflies and clear blue skies except with some clouds because some clouds are nice and flowers and bees that don’t sting you but only make honey and video games that grow on trees and portable video games that grow on bushes and comic books and pizza and getting drunk with no hangover [...]

I don’t know how many of y’all have heard of Jeph Loeb, but he’s relatively famous in the world of comics as a writer. He got that way writing for Batman, and he’s branched out into a bunch of other major comics, as well as doing work as a lead writer for Heroes. [...]

Mom, don’t read this one either.
I get to apologize for another post! That’s two in a week. Sorry about yesterday’s post. I was feeling whiny (probably because of bike withdrawal) and jumped to a lot of silly conclusions (which may have been correct). But that’s the point of the blog, so [...]

Mom, don’t read this one.
My mom reads this blog. I worked out a thing with here where I tell her not to read it occasionally and she doesn’t. Yay.
I make progress, slow as can be, but dammit, I make progress. As a kid, I was annoying and rude because I didn’t know [...]
