  • I over slept for work that morning and my mother screamed that I needed to get out of bed because the world was on fire.

    I got my work clothes on in a minute because I was a teenage dirt bag, baby. By the time I got to the living room she was in tears because the Pentagon was going up in smoke.

    I’m not sure if it was survival instinct or what, but I said, ‘Silly Government, tricks are for kids!’

    I just remember her shouting, “This is serious!” As I dashed to my car.

    The radio sucked that morning. Pretty much all the fm band was nothing but church talk. The walkman I had plugged into my stereo was off charge, so I had to listen to some Spanish sermon as I wondered if the Spencer’s I worked at was going to be blown up.

    This has been a ‘9-11 Moment’, reply with ‘I was there.’ if you’d like to know more.

    The grocery/retail worker Union in my city sucks for newbs. Takes a large chunk of your paycheck every two weeks until you gain seniority after 24 months, then you can be a lazy bastard as much as you want.

    Unions are great, some suck.

    I should’ve been a teamster, so lazy and surly…

    It’s odd, after years of washing dishes for a job I can’t stand the smell of garlic or onions when it is coming from the grease left over on a plate or cook wear, but when they are first being cooked the aroma makes my mouth water.

    The nose, she is fickle.








  • I give absurd humor, even if it seems low effort, a pass.

    Imagine how gross/dumb Monty Python sketches were to the Lost Generation. How much did The Kids In The Hall rile up Boomers?

    How terrible does early South Park and Beavis and Butthead look to me now that I have a couple decades to reflect on them.

    Zoomers are potentially the most existentially detached generation we have seen in a while, and I’m excited to see what they create, if my old Xennial ass lives that long.
