Learning never ends. Kids think that once you get older, you don’t have to go to school anymore, but much like with everything else, those little bastards don’t know shit about shit. I’ve spent almost 21 years of my life in pursuit of a formal education. I have obtained a…

Anyone who has ever taken LSD can tell you that reality is a fragile thing. The one time I did it, I watched the grass crawl over the walkway of my friend’s house, and I thought to myself, “This is how the world will end.” Then we watched Space Ghost…

We take each other for granted. Many of us pretend that we don’t need anyone else to carry on with our lives. This idea that we are truly self-sufficient is absurd. I watched a video the other day about a man who decided to see how hard it would be…

2011 is here and it really couldn’t have come sooner. If the world was a big ass, 2010 was the year we wiped, but the toilet paper broke, so we got shit on our fingers…and someone used up the last of the hand soap. We could sit here and rehash…

There’s this really good show on the television. It’s called The Walking Dead, and it’s about zombies–sort of. I can’t recall there ever being a zombie-centric show, so it’s notable in that regard. And even though I’m sort of over zombies–I mean, come on, give it a rest–The Walking Dead…

Despite how my column may appear at times, I’m a pretty tolerant person. I do my best to try and understand where someone is coming from before I pass judgement. While I don’t always agree with someone’s chosen path, I at least try to see how they got to where…

My love for late-night infomercials is well documented. I love the gimmicks and scams and personalities; the ultra-fake talk-show format, the spectacular acting and the paid studio audiences. Do infomercials exist in foreign countries? They probably do, but they feel like a uniquely American art form. Lately, my infomercial viewing…

It’s that time again. Election season is back, and it’s tougher than ever. Shit is really fierce out there this year. The Tea Party is out crackin’ skulls and drinking the blood of their prey, while the Democrats are doing what they do best–which is to say, losing. Until now,…

Politics are just a big game, nothing more. Until recently, it was mostly a two-player game, with both sides locked in a stalemate for the past 20 years or so. Dug into their respective trenches, the Democrats and Republicans took pot shots at one another, with neither side really ever…
