I’m feeling a little Seinfeld right now so I want to talk about planes for a minute. Fuck flying. I think we are all inherently a little afraid to fly. I had this totally original thought when my wife and I were taking off to head to a place that required flying to. What kind … Continue reading What’s the deal with flying?

Flavortown!
These Food Network shows drive me crazy. Nothing screams “first world” more than fetishizing food for 24-hours a day. Sure, cooking can be art, but so is drawing naked people. Yet when you abandon the study of the human form and start drawing them fucking because it tickles the right part of your brain and … Continue reading Flavortown!
Coprophagia
My people (Cubans) have an idiom I am quite fond of using. It’s as versatile and satisfying to use as the word ‘fuck’ is in English. This idiom is “comiendo mierda” (and its many variations). The phrase directly translates to “eating shit”. It’s one of those things that makes more sense colloquially to Spanish-speakers than … Continue reading Coprophagia
Lando that Tried
I had a really productive conversation with one of my favorite people the other day. We talked about a lot of things, but the topic that most resonated with me is something I have struggled with for a long time now; The Dream and how to achieve it. I guess I should define what I … Continue reading Lando that Tried
Hanging in there.
I need to gain some perspective. Lately, when I’ve been asked how I’m doing, I find myself answering with “eh, hanging in there.” I have used this so often recently, that it’s been stapled to my lexicon in such a way that I have to consciously break myself from that standard response. It now takes … Continue reading Hanging in there.
You are.
You are watching Fight Club, the second time. You are a brand new bag of chips filled over 60% capacity. You are a bowl of vanilla ice cream with peanut butter sauce on a rainy Saturday night while watching a scary movie. You are bragging about running three days in a row. You are 12:20 … Continue reading You are.
Intimacy
A weird thing about being human is the care we take to seem less so. We tend to invest a lot of time in separating ourselves from the aspects of our own humanity that we have collectively decided are unpleasant. We purchase cosmetics to hide physical imperfections, we style our clothes to fit the ever-changing … Continue reading Intimacy
A Last Ride with Lee
So I worked for this guy named Lee. And Lee was alright. I should start by saying that I work for attorneys currently and most of them are, lets say, dickish. Now, I don’t want to cast a wide net and generalize an entire field. There really are a lot of great attorneys that are … Continue reading A Last Ride with Lee
Mike the Ranger
Tampa One of the nicer places to visit on the west coast of Florida is this little city called St. Petersburg. It shares its name with that other Saint Petersburg, the one that is the second most populous city in Russia, and that is on purpose. Turns out (and I didn’t know this until I … Continue reading Mike the Ranger
Evil
If we count each instance of a distinct virus as a cause for a slowdown in the processing speed of a computer, then we have thousands of potential factors that can lead to the same result. Macro, polymorphic, multipartite, direct action…. Those are just the general ‘types’ or categories. There are many of those categories, … Continue reading Evil
