About Me

Currently, I'm all about gardening. I want to spend all my time digging in the dirt, watching things grow, and eating from the garden. I get all stressed out that big business is homogenizing America, those blow up holiday decorations will rise up and punish humanity for its consumerism, the next generation is socially stunted from technology, and I can't find a properly fitting pair of jeans. Anyway, I have a niece, she's a funny kid. I have a cat, she's not the smartest animal but she's damn cute. I also have a lot of tattoos. I like them but various comments from the public (usually in the supermarket check-out line) indicate that a woman tattooed such as myself causes ripples in the delicate fabric of life in the suburbs. My bad.

My Interests

Swimming, Knitting, fossil hunting, petting the cat. I'm so fucking lame.

That thing in your ear

I went to breakfast Sunday morning.  As I entered the diner I saw this man sitting at a table with what appeared to be his daughter and he had a hands-free device in his ear.  Half...

New Generation

I fear for the next generation.  We've pumped out a generation of children who only know how to interact with another human through an electronic device.  Soon, face-to-face contact will be ...

Humanity

I'm concerned that our society and humanity in general are collapsing in on themselves.  I've chosen this space to vent it all and purge myself for the world to hear my negativity.
