About Me

If the planet was invaded tomorrow by a single minded army made of legion after legion of my clones, we would be completely subdued by your race's abundant snacks, spaceship related entertainment, and plentiful drinkeries. Also, our sense of direction is, well, pretty ridiculous, even by baby standards. Babies! Just go downtown y'all, we'll never find you.

My Interests

Robots. Hobbits. The Artic Sea. Outer fucking space. putting people to work with barriers to employment. drinking whiskey. checkin' you out.

Heroes:


These guys are my cousins. They are very stuck up.

an open letter to the dude who just asked me for money.

The Apple Diaries Chapter 1: It Begins.

The strange bliss of ignorance that isn't.

My goal tonight is to be brief.  QUIT LAUGHING.  Seriously.  So, I've been drinking much less lately, not because I'm interested in bettering myself, fuck that, I'm not a quitter, but p...

just because I don't talk about being a nerd...

I spend pretty much every free second I have either on the internet or thinking about doing something on the internet.  Don't bother trying to tell me how sad that is.  My life ain't perfect...

Langauge, firetruck, and why nachos aren't either

"Slang is a language that rolls up its sleeves, spits on its hands and goes to work."  ~Carl Sandburg   Though I hate to admit it, I'm a talker.  In fact, if you wanted to be accurate...

today, aliens, and tomorrow...sort of.

interesting fact about yours truly: when I think I'm alone in a stairwell, I slap my heels against the steps as I decend, just because it's the closest I will ever come to tap dancing.  I'm nothi...
