Fccking finally. I finally got Mohammad to speak. Not, like, the Islamic prophet. I mean the dude who mans the checkout stand in the grocery store. As a restless, annoying creature, I’m the sort who’ll get bored and start mentally and physically fidgeting if I’m among others but not talking to them for too long. This is probably why I’ve never quite acclimated to yoga class. Or any class in.. Read More
Do you wanna build a snowbridge? To eternal hellfire?
♫ Do you wanna build a Saudi Arabian snowman? Hmmm… Maybe another inquisitive Disney quote can help you answer this: Sure. Yes. Let’s build one. Right before we go to prison. And hell. ‘cause if you’re a Saudi Arabian frolicking in the fluffy white stuff they’re experiencing, then those are the repercussions for your ephemeral levity.

Pennywise’s pit wisdom
I’m in love with this gutter wisdom. And not just because of the delicious irony that accompanies imagining Pennywise’s raspy voice – snarling this positive thought through his yellowing sharpened shark teeth and across sanguine shaded lips.

Thus, upon reading it, I immediately found the potential flaws in the experiment, and asked myself: But what if the thumb.. Read More
Gifts with Strings
There’s nothing I can say regarding what happened to Japan that hasn’t already been said. With the exception of how the world is responding in the aftermath. For the most part, people are doing a great deal to donate everything from money to actual clothing and goods for those who have been without their creature comforts. Charities and the like seem to be getting inundated with phone calls from people.. Read More
Ash-ley Wednesday – Cafeteria Catolica
Ah… Pre-Spring Season. Allergies. Rain. Flowers budding…The smell of the Lenten Catholics lording their religion over you. Pardon the Pun. Them: “What are *you* giving up for lent?” (Translation)~ “I’m allegedly Catholic! And even though I know that you aren’t, I’m going to rub in your face that I’m giving up something I enjoy. And while it’s supposed to be an altruistic self denial in the name of ‘God’, I’ll.. Read More
