“We slept in a bungalow! On the floor!”
“After waiting in line for 3 hours, we were lucky enough to see a 30 minute comedy show…for free!”
“As far as the eye could see, there were free energy drinks…and boy did we drink them. We drank them all. We were sick as dogs.” [Read more →]

One of my daily traditions involves laying down for a late morning nap. It is not only energizing, but also a pleasant way to “skip over” a few hours of the day which would be spent in debilitating anxiety. Normally, upon waking up from these naps, I go about my usual business of watching Wife Swap and waiting until the sun goes down so I can go to sleep again. Yesterday, however, I clicked over to one of my favorite television news outlets, and was immediately guilt stricken.
As it turns out, NASA had discovered an entirely new form of life. Much to my dismay, this life was found in Mono Lake, California. Okay, NASA. I admit it. I am responsible for this new life form you have discovered. I’m sorry. [Read more →]
After a long day at the office (my couch), I can’t think of a better way to unwind than with my favorite caffeinated malt liquor beverage: Four Loko. You can see why, then, I was so shocked to hear that my beloved Loko was being pulled from shelves. What’s the matter, Uncle Sam? Scared of a good time? Afraid you might have too much fun? I didn’t realize our government was run by a bunch of grandmas. [Read more →]
Hoarding. It’s all anyone can talk about anymore. Have you seen the show “Hoarders?” Oh my gosh. That’s what people talk about. Everyone. All people. I’m not attempting to be a Negative Nancy (Nathan) here, but I have one fundamental problem with the entire Hoarding trend: It’s just no fun. [Read more →]
I think it would be beneficial to get this out of the way in the first sentence, and let me just say: Wow.
You know what? I’ll make that it’s own paragraph. I think it deserves it.
That one too. I digress.
This year’s big election night in the United States of America was different than all that had come before it. No more business as usual and no more easy answers to the hardest questions. [Read more →]
I know. I really blew it. The thing is, I’ve just been really busy.
It all started last Monday when I was tying my boot. Everything was going to plan, when BOOM… the darn shoelace ripped right in half. [Read more →]
All of my life I’ve been told rule after rule by every snooty english teacher that the public school system, and all educational institutions beyond that could throw at me. Periods this, commas that, apostrophe my butt. We get it guys, writing is boring. [Read more →]
Autumn is upon us, dear readers, and there is no season which I like better. The reasons for my unwavering love for the falls are simple ones, yet they remain worth sharing. Perhaps seeing some of my favorite activities will help you make the most of your season. [Read more →]
Oh my God. This is it. Jim, have you seen this thing? It looks just like him! Can you run this Dr. Evil costume back to the rack? I don’t need it anymore. This is the one. I’ll go as Obama!
You know who this guy is, right? Yeah, the President… black guy…yeah you get it. Can you imagine? Should I wear a suit with it? No…no…not a suit. I’ll wear a Hawaiian shirt. Oh man, that would be too good. Obama in a Hawaiian shirt, just hanging out. So funny. [Read more →]
Seldom in life, a man is given an experience that sticks with him forever. His wedding day, for one. Maybe his Bar Mitzvah. Perhaps his Catholic Bar Mitzvah*. [Read more →]
If you’re anything like my mother, you’ve been reading a lot about this impending Bed Bug “pandemic.” Heck, it’s even on TV. There doesn’t seem to be any getting around it.
“We are all going to die.” — Anderson Cooper
1) Go to bed whenever you feel sleepy. I know. It’s only 3:00 PM. But your eyes hurt! Just go for it. I promise you won’t wake up until a decent hour in the morning. A nice early night. How refreshing!
2) When you wake up at 2:00 AM and are unable to go back to sleep, the solution is simple: turn on all the lights in your house! Your body will think it’s daytime, and you can just have a really long day. It’s like the summer solstice! Seize it! [Read more →]
