Night Tremors
Posted in Blog
My psychic powers are at work again. Last night I had a very vivid dream in which a friend of mine was flabbergasted that I hadn't felt a powerful earthquake that had just occurred. It's been years since I've experienced an earthquake, which is why I thought the dream was odd but we just had a fairly strong one a couple minutes ago. It was one of the longest earthquakes I've ever felt- I had plenty of time to debate whether I should get out of bed and throw some clothes on. Laziness won out over personal safety. The batteries in my remote are dead so of course that means I can't turn on the tv to find out the ...

I thought maybe I'd used one-too-many "fucks" or "cunts" so I put in a request for reconsideration.
Then while fixing some code with my theme I discovered by accident that there was a ton of spam-like hidden links contained within my index file that bulked up my homepage to ...

Free At Last, Free At Last, Fuck You Vaseline, I’m Free At Last!
Posted in Blog, Daily Life
One of my earliest blog posts was about the lip balm addiction I've suffered from for more than a decade. Over the years I've made the occasional attempts to quit using and, though I usually didn't last for more than a couple hours, sometimes I managed to get through the day but as soon as I put my head on my pillow I realized sleep would be impossible without dipping into my giant jar of Vaseline that sits on my nightstand right next to my salt shaker (that's a whole 'nother addiction).
I hit rock bottom many times. I would get into my car and fret over my naked lips so I'd grab the emergency Chapstick ...
