Washington Wizards and the Plight of Tantalus |... →
Wrote a little something about the problems with the Wizards’ status quo, a Greek mythological figure, and a year of childhood I will never reclaim.
I’m writing about how I used to step on bees (to stun them) back in elementary school. Fuck, what the fuck am I?
A friend asked me to start writing short stories...
This was a few months back, and I haven’t started. I think about it a lot, and I already have the ending written in my head and I can recite it verbatim. I don’t have anything else though. But it’s good when you know how it ends.

Some people work 30, 40 years and after that struggle, you have to find things...
– My mom, after making some eggs for the family. She was talking about the organic eggs she used, but projecting the rationale behind her intensified faith in Buddhism. Because isn’t that what you learn from Buddhism? That everything is everything?
KEEPS: My Dad's Sunday Breakfast Sandwich →
keepsdiary:
My family never cooked breakfast everyday, but when we did it was usually my dad whipping something up on a Sunday.
I have really fond memories of this simple sandwich, a baguette slathered in butter with two over easy eggs doused in soy sauce. I can’t even remember the last time I had it…
This is the quintessential Sunday sandwich. Didn’t realize how distinctly...
I tell my roommate that one day I’ll invent a body-switching machine. For a day, I’ll have his body, and he’ll have mine. I’ll be blessed with holistic sanctity, and he’ll be writhing on the floor, crying like an infant because he’s literally suffocating.
Excerpt from the wholly unfunny column I turned in for class. I wonder what I got on it.

Writing about Bradley Cooper and nasal congestion.
For a humor column. It’s as unfunny as it sounds.
This condo smells like utter shit.
We haven’t cleaned in like two weeks. Alas, any cleaning efforts will have to wait for another two days.

Darkside EP so good
Fuck it. Nicolas Jaar wins all of 2011.
I did it.
I'm really bad at talking on the phone.
Like, sometimes I forget to breathe bad.
