WCW: let’s celebrate Kate (woman crushing with a purpose)

Ehhhh, so what if I’m a day late? Let’s break the rules! Take the hashtags to the blogs! Celebrate #WCW twelve hours late! It’s Woman Crush Wednesday…. On Thursday morning! Ya know, what makes fantasy fodder so much fun is the same thing Hugh Hefner experiences IRL and Matt Mac’s character eloquently explains in “Dazed and Confused”: “I get older and they stay the same age.” That means that as..

You spin me right round like a wrecked-car, baby.

I’m in love with this prank… (Thanks dude at 2:11 for bringing my lockjaw back with your goddamned infectious cackle) …but I have to wonder: what in the world possessed these dudes to get in the car with a perfect stranger?

It was initiated by this guy and his.. Read More

What “fake it till you make it” really means for the mentally-tough confused

Ah, Psych Today delivers again. And this time it’s with a refreshing take on this whole “mental toughness” deal I touched on a few days ago. In that last article (speaking on that OG viral piece about what mentally tough people don’t do), I was a bit annoyed with the negative language and how little the author brought in the more human elements and tendencies to her advice. While I.. Read More

Dict-claimer

Irony is fun – but only when people “get it”. Herein lies a problem I’d like to address here and now. Trendy articles of language are a fantastic means to foster your ironic style; but if you’re chronically sardonic like myself, then that means you may employ the genre of words-born-on-the-web terminology a good deal. And that means those who don’t know you, can’t literally hear the sludgy sarcasm dripping.. Read More
