My Blog

...So it goes.

Anti-Political Rant

Who won the superbowl?

No, really, I don't know. I guess I actually dont care either. I didn't even know who was playing in it. I watched the Simpsons/Family Guy marathon instead. I'm not sure if that makes me a bad America...

Good vs. Evil

I am evil. That is what I used to believe about myself, and I guess if you boil it all down, it is still true to some degree. I am an evildoer in many, many peoples eyes and a sinner in the eyes of co...
