Novel
Hey dudes, I just finished (mostly) a second draft of my novel. It’s pretty good and short (for a full novel). If anyone wants to read it over, that’d be great.
It’s a comic novel (but not a comedy) about a high-school senior, David Benson, someone “Unpopular merely in the sense that he wasn’t popular” and his chance meeting with the enigmatic Michael Young,...

My least favorite people (at this second) are people who feel Obama “let them down” or “didn’t deliver on his promise.” Guys, “HOPE” was a one syllable slogan, a logo even, to get a corporate backed, big D Democrat elected in a cash contest. People like you are THE SAME THING as the “undecided”…

“Name please?”
“Gudda Gudda,” Gudda Gudda said nervously as he faced the bouncer. “I should be on the list.”

Rich guy 2: Then you should...

This is everything I’ve ever loved: rap and eating pigeons. I ate a pigeon once. Because I hate pigeons
rapindustryfanfiction:
The pigeon was a scrawny one, slightly underweight, maybe even sickly looking. DMX didn’t care. It’d had been a hard winter, one of unhappiness and regret and hunger. DMX had been venturing out of the sewers less and less. Partially because of the cold, but...
Capitalism
Okay, Capitalism is good, but its good in the same way Google is good. It’s good because it’s better than the alternatives.
But since when did we worship Capitalism/Google beyond questioning? Would we let Google stay the same just because Bing sucks? Maybe we would. Bing really sucks. But it doesn’t mean we shouldn’t be allowed to look for altering it, like somehow...

Bob Dylan, Like A Rolling Stone
On October 11th, 2011, at 11:06 pm EST, I had an anxiety attack. Then, a few minutes later, I had an epiphany.
