Grr. Dammit, Logan.
There’s no feeling like watching your bowl get boosted into several irreconcilable pieces. A sinking feeling that makes you sick—especially when said paraphernalia was a Christmas present.
…I really liked that thing, too. I didn’t want to hear any more about it at the time, better or worse. But all I could hear was “I’ll get you another one, shit we’ll...

Charlotte Perkins-Gilman
Can shut the fuck up and keep her outdated, personally-biased blathering to herself. The worst thing about feminism personally is how the movement, in wanting to defy stereotype and complacency, instead bolster stereotypes by creating a division in perception, saying in essence, “[Men, evil domineering men!] think we should be like this? Instead we’ll play against type and act like...

"The old settled social structures were stifling...
I don’t believe that at all; in fact, I believe the opposite is true. Creativity and new developments are associated with risks, and, especially economically, risk is all but missing in a society where everyone from individuals all the way to macro entities demand that the fruits of their labor be protected and no loss is incurred on them. It’s this sword of “Liberty”...

Not to be fucked with: Wayne Simmonds
Wayne Simmonds, 23, is having a breakout year for the Philadelphia Flyers. He has already surpassed his career highs in goals, assists and total points, as well as playing a responsible, aggressive defensive game. Combining athleticism, excellent puck-tipping capabilities and a hard-nosed demeanor, Simmonds has quickly become a fan favorite, where Philadelphians appreciate hard-nosed, take-no-shit...

Danny McBride: The Small-Town Hick who became the... →
Part of what makes Danny McBride so funny is his authenticity. All of his characters draw upon a model given to him growing up in the racist, drunken corners of the Bible Belt. While it may be hard for people outside of these confines to believe, Kenny Powers and Mr. Simmons’ archetypes are not greatly exaggerated.
(I had a karate instructor as a kid, Tony Finn, Who undoubtedly was the...

Wallachian Szekelys: not to be fucked with
After indulging in re-reading Stoker’s Dracula, some observations:
The Count (or Stoker, depending on how you look at it) is dead on right with his accounts of the Szekelys; they’re one of the most badass subcultures to ever be wiped from the public memory, having survived everything but the expansion of the USSR
The “Brides of Dracula” are based upon the nationalities of...

That moment where you finally convince yourself
That you don’t like someone you have considered a friend for a long time. Sometimes it’s harder than others. As a rule, I generally make an effort to be friendly and retain friendships with all people whom I have been in close and interesting contact with, but sometimes it becomes impossible.

The dangers of vagary and passive-aggression
Are very real, especially when claiming to launch “intimate”, “confessional” opinions. Escape clauses and misconceptions are almost always by-products.

The State of Mental Health, a Fence-Sitting Task
For all of my adult life, I’ve lived with some sort of depression. Sure, clinical, manic-, or in a bi-polar sense, but ultimately these are all defined by outside sources. I won’t presume to think everyone in the field of neurology, psychology or psychiatry have no personal investment beyond a paycheck—That’s better left in the hands of those who live only for and within...
For better or worse
Passion has always been the conduit through which my greatest achievements and biggest mistakes have been displayed. To deny that impulse, to evaporate it or make it passive-aggressive is to immolate and sterilize. Age, time and experience will cool the flames, but not biting one’s tongue.
You always know where I’m coming from, right or wrong.

All you motherfuckers reblogging my posts
I see you guys. I see you transcribing my words and presenting them as your own—or worse, being editors. Imitation is the highest form of flattery, unless its satire, of course. There is no father to me, nor my style.

I wish I could find the transcript of the faux blog instead of the character profile. Rockstar Games constantly takes satire to the level of art.

I am privy to information regarding Stokes County’s Superior Court Judge, linking him directly to the transaction of over $3000 worth of schedule I controlled substances, and now more than ever am willing to discuss it. The way this system runs is a damn fiasco.

What I believe, in response
Is both personal and public: fairness in the face of injustice. Not in line with current offerings, but believing in the principles of where it started. Not systemic, not quantifiable.
Fairness, regardless of the stance or expectations. I am NOT lost or naive, rather in inactivity. Waiting for the chance to strike, and strike to the point of no retaliation.
This anomie comes not from a lack of...

Love seeing demagogues eat their own words, shit, thousands of pages worth of narcissistic bullshit, attracting like-minded self-important pieces of American waste—Americans who harbor desires of leaving this place to rot for what they consider “greener pastures”, the “Old Country”, where the same narcissistic aggrandizement will most certainly NOT be tolerated.
Ain't nothing changed; or, Madison was dead-on...
It’s mere sentiment and Romanticism that unfairly encapsulates an essence without regard to the whole picture—a character flaw of mine, eating more shit than is warranted, giving in to passive-aggression and the fulfillment of another’s low self-esteem, as if my own isn’t prone to massive dips.

“While the principles of imperial domination have undergone little change, the capacity to implement them has markedly declined as power has become more broadly distributed in a diversifying world. Consequences are many. It is, however, very important to bear in mind that — unfortunately — none lifts the two dark clouds that hover over all consideration of global order: nuclear war and...
