Memes are like bumper stickers. One or two here or there isn't so bad, but when it dominates your interactions, it's really tackyMemes are basically the fast-food equivalent of mental stimulation. Sure, it may satisfy some of our basest instincts and make us feel good in the short term, but an overdependence on it in order to communicate really says a lot about what you have...See More »
F*ck it, I'm gonna write a haikuToday's theme is social media Tribal chest-pounding Look, how bad those people are Baptize them in bile
How you treat people is far more important than what you believeGetting really sick of seeing people tear each other down just because they disagree on something
I've lost so much weight, women are starting to be nice to meFeels weird, man. I've been invisible for so long, it's becoming quite clear I'm not comfortable with positive attention. I've always kinda lived in my own little world and no one ever noticed or cared. Maybe I could get used to this, but it's...See More »
I saw a kid nearly drown todayTook my dog to the local dog park that sits right beside a river. After a late afternoon of running around, I decided to spend some time at the river with them to cool off. It's a popular spot in the middle of the city, so there's people all along...See More »
My dog might be a geniusI consider myself a fairly simple person. I like being stoned when watching movies, I like eating ice cream before dinner, I like going for long, quiet walks, and I like reading Russian literature whenever I'm on the p**per. Lately, I've had a copy...See More »
I may lose my friends, family, and even my job over this, but it needs to be said A hot dog IS a sandwich I might be a little late to the debate, but I recently watched a video from a professor talking about how informal experiments showed him that even something as simple as whether or not a hot dog was a sandwich caused...See More »
I just realized that the best people I've ever met are the ones who take their dogs to dog parksAnd it makes sense. It takes emotional intelligence to care about more than just yourself.
It's hard to care about how others feel when no one cares about how you feelAnother mass shooting later, and the same mental health vs. gun control debate brings its tepid rage to social media feeds. Have we considered that maybe the solution to the problem can't be reached through policy?
It takes a lot less mental effort to insult and dismiss someone than it does to defend your position with civility and logicSo the next time you meet someone on the internet who disagrees with you, just call them a bunch of names and then block them. It's easier than having to think
My car is filthy, but I like it that wayNot filthy in the way that I'm hoarding trash or dumping empty containers everywhere. I'm actually pretty good about tidying that part up. But going through my backseat today made me realize that I'm going to have a hard time selling this car when...See More »
My life revolves around my dogsAnd while I'm certainly much happier than I've been in recent years, I do wonder if this is ultimately going to cement my loneliness in. I've always been someone that valued my own time, whether it's to pursue interests, to work on myself, or simply...See More »
Entry 20 "Doesn't matter how much furniture you stack at the door"I don't want to feel like I'm beating a dead horse, but this dog has unquestionably brought a different energy into the household, and I'm truly inspired by the changes I've been seeing. Taught him a few new tricks and he learns remarkably fast....See More »
Carbs and memoriesJust treated myself to a cheese bagel. Extra sharp white cheddar, to the extent that matters. Technically it's a toasted bagel with cheese, but you called it a cheese bagel, so that's how my brain decided to classify it. I haven't had a bagel since...See More »
A wolf like meTaking in this abandoned dog may very well be the most eventful thing that's happened in my life, and despite the challenges involved, has mostly been rewarding. Two weeks ago we were strangers to each other, and now we're basically the only family...See More »
I wonder if this is how God feelsAs much as I would love my two dogs to love each other the way I love each of them, they keep fighting over toys, space, and being the first to get my attention and affection. These dogs have been conditioned to having the world revolve around them,...See More »
A home for the abandoned The owner of the dog I found finally contacted me a few nights ago. To make a long story short, she's out of state and will be so for the foreseeable future. She's had the dog in the care of her mother for the last number of months, but the mother...See More »
Not a whisperIt's been 3 days now and despite scouring through and posting on all the lost and found pet websites that pop up in the first page of search results, there's no sign that anybody is looking for this dog I found. I've driven around the neighborhood...See More »
It's official, I'm never having kids Having this dog in my house for the last day and a half has been exciting for all of us, but as the old adage goes, everything is better in moderation. This much constant excitement has been exhausting. And messy. When dogs get excited, they start...See More »
Welp, found a lost dog I just wanted to get high and watch a movie tonight, but when I took my dog out for her midnight bathroom break, this guy showed up. I thought I'd let them run around for a while thinking his owner was around the corner or something, but after a...See More »
A veridical paradox You're sad because you have no friends, and you have no friends because you're sad
The test results are back And my dog's tumor was benign. Clean bill of health. No need to worry about cancer. Such a relief. I have no one to celebrate the good news with and since my dog has no idea what I'm talking about, I'm sharing with you all. Time to celebrate
Living the dreamIt's something you say whenever you waltz into another routine day of work, being forced by economic pressures to repeat the same tasks time and again until it's time to go home, a sort of temporary prison we're supposed to make peace with or be...See More »
