Common People

I was just listening to the William Shatner/Ben Folds collaboration remake of the Pulp song “Common People” and I was taken back to a moment in time where I managed to make an ass out of myself…
This moment wasn’t so long ago. It was that tumultuous July 4th weekend when all my little stories broke […]

A variety of Gay Bars

Lainie, who was featured for saving my life in the old website, has a post about dancing cats.
What she failed to mention was the version of Electric Six’s song “Gay Bar” [note: the link is broken and I’m too lazy too look up alternate sites hosting the original, brilliant, video] that has Viking cats weilding […]

High and Low

One day I’ll probably snap and run a credit card up my ass.

Back when I was in NYC and I was wandering the US with nary a monetary care and a host of philosophical cares, […]

A thing that’s kind of scary

It’s really unnerving when you sit in a coffeehouse with wireless access at least once a day. The same place, generally around the same time, and you see the same people over and over again.
Most of these people appear sane, rational and seem to have something going on. Here at Epic right now there are […]
