Kids These Days…
I’ve been interviewing for jobs with kids. Babies. Toddlers. People who were exiting a vagina while I was getting felt up to “Purple Rain” (or “Careless Whispers”). Not sure if it was at the EXACT same moment (that might seem … Continue reading

Blogger’s Block
I played around with some application on Facebook and the next thing I knew my blog was appearing on the FB newsfeed. I decided this was a mysterious act of nature, and accepted the ensuing Writer’s Block. It’s one thing … Continue reading

Hope You Like Cake
So disappointed…How could Obama sell his party down the river? Is Michelle going to rip him a new one? (Or, rather, after the GOP, another one?) I didn’t vote for Obama, I voted for the Green Party guy (forgot his … Continue reading
