Across the Pond

Hello, I'll be leaving the country soon and it will be the first time that I've done so since I've gotten here. I'm excited about it, but I don't think I've really processed it yet. And to be clear, we're going to London, so this is not as out there as we could possibly go. … Continue reading Across the Pond →

By the Light of A Collapsing Star

Hello, I want to talk about this article and everything that this article entails. I'm not going to summarize it. It's required reading for this blog entry. I genuinely and truly believe that humanity is advancing toward the light. We are progressing, as a whole, toward being better. I am not looking for perfection or utopia … Continue reading By the Light of A Collapsing Star →

An Update

Hello, It's been seventeen days since I start to write continuously, both in this blog and off the blog and I don't know how this is impacting me at this point. On the one hand, I've written more in this short two weeks than I did in the last six months prior to starting this … Continue reading An Update →

Neon Night Terrors

Hello, I love 80's horror. Love it. It is my favorite era of my favorite genre of movie. I love the excess of 80's horror. It's big an it's gory and it splatters and explodes across the screen. It's an enormous, backwoods madman in a hockey mask swinging a machete. It's a demon invading nightmares … Continue reading Neon Night Terrors →

Beer Review: Bay State Brewing Co’s Becky Likes the Smell

Hello, I can't stay away from IPAs. There was a time when I did not like IPAs at all, but, because I'm stubborn, I kept drinking them, over and over again. Now I kind of like them. I really don't know how I feel about the name of this one: Becky Likes the Smell. I … Continue reading Beer Review: Bay State Brewing Co’s Becky Likes the Smell →

One Shot

Hello, I really don't want to turn this blog into an anti-vaxxer bashing blog, but, you know what, I kinda do. Buzzfeed just posted this story and I'm, again, angry. New York has recently put into effect an order stating that if you don't vaccinate your kids against measles you get fined $1000. You have … Continue reading One Shot →

Public Writer

Hello, I've never been someone who likes to write in public. The thought of setting up my laptop in the local coffee shop, which will most likely be a Starbucks, and proceeding to tap away makes me cringe inwardly. But that's what I'm doing this morning. I have time to spare this morning, time to … Continue reading Public Writer →

Black Dog

Hello, There are tricks I have when the black dog is visiting. He doesn't do much. Just sits in the corner. Which is unnatural in and of itself, in my experience. Dogs are sprawlers when they're relaxed, just like cats. They don't sit unless they want something or have been told to do it or … Continue reading Black Dog →

Beer Review: Collective Arts’ Life in the Clouds

Hello, I decided to take another crack at a Collective Arts Brewing IPA tonight because I enjoyed last night's so much. The initial smell is definitely not as intense as it was last night, but this is not a Double IPA. I will say that IPAs are a devil of a thing to review because … Continue reading Beer Review: Collective Arts’ Life in the Clouds →

Beer Review: Collective Arts’ IPA No. 8

Hello, The first thing I have to say about this beer is that the moment I popped it open, all I smelled were hops. Keep in mind, I didn't have my face right in the beer. My nose was a good two or three feet away from the can when I opened it. Bam. Hops. … Continue reading Beer Review: Collective Arts’ IPA No. 8 →
