All right, folks. I have a holiday (election) poem for you. Strap it up. We’re doing this! A Visit from President Obama Twas the night before elections, and all through the house, Everyone was panicking, causing me to grouse; I had my laptop on my lap, typing with speed, Hoping that America wouldn’t be consumed… Continue Reading
I saw a post recently from a mother chastising people with pets for calling themselves parents. She felt offended by it, but didn’t want to say anything in person because she felt that would be rude. In the piece, however, she had no problem being condescending, saying it’s fine that people choose to be childfree… Continue Reading
I found out today that a Twitter peep of mine has died after a long battle with cancer. I was caught off-guard because the last time I talked to her, she was doing better. She’s not someone I talked to on a daily basis. Indeed, our interactions were random and infrequent. However, every time we… Continue Reading
I hate Christmas, and I have since I was a kid. I found out there was no Santa Claus when I was seven or eight. I got up early Christmas morning to check the stockings, and there was nothing in them. I went to tell my mom, and she told me to go back to… Continue Reading

Hey, melee players, fuck you. I’m kidding, of course, but you’ll pardon me from being a little salty at how much shit casters get, especially from the Souls community. I would like to say up front that I know the Souls games are made to be played as a melee character, and I’ve bitched more… Continue Reading
The first debate was tonight, and I made myself ghost on social media as it was happening because I just. don’t. care. Mind you, it’s not that I don’t care about the election or the fact that the Orange Cheeto might be president, something that continues to bamboozle my little brain, but I’m tired of… Continue Reading

If you want to be kind, you’d say that we are goodhearted people who will give you the shirts off our backs, then apologize because the shirt isn’t your size.
