Close Chapter
The live journal has yielded its place of self-exploration dump-bucket. I am 24, and have dumped a lot of myself into here, and I know myself because of it. The internet has evolved around it, such that the humor I write here is no different than the humor of any other of thousands of websites. The jokes are the same, the difference is this ( Read more... ) -
Why do you suck so much?
I have not posted for a while because my writing time has been dedicated to two separate, other ventures. Updates to follow at a later time. -
Holiday Travel
I'll be in Berne and Chicago till Jan 3, if anyone cares. -
Their love
Their love was like a spider web: tenuous and gross.
Their love was like a firework: brief and explosive.
Their love was like a thundercloud: ominous with potential.
Their love was like an old shoe: exhausted but comfortable.
Their love was like a scar: ugly but proudly borne.
Their love was like an echo: their love, their love, their love. -
This, to that
Even making this a blog entry implies that i care more than I do, so I already regret writing it. The issue; I don't think people realize that "segueway" isn't a word. IE, saying that "this is a nice segueway into that" does not mean there is a smooth transition between this and that. "Segue" will do just fine, please. You're thinking of the " ( Read more... ) -
Swing

word games
I have a number of ongoing mental word games I play that I make up myself. They are games of criteria, where I have a set of conditions and keep running track of the best word I've thought of that fulfills the criteria. Progress is slow in these games because I do not try to look up answers on the internet.
One game is to start with a one letter ( Read more... ) -
Something about commercials
Full disclosure: I hold advertisements up to an unfairly high standard of quality and usually only get irritated by them when I am feeling irritable and want to pick something apart.
Two guys in a commercial are watching another guy running around in a bullpen being attacked by a bull.
Guy 1: What's he doing?
Guy 2: He said something about not driving ( Read more... ) -
Juice!
We have a Juicer in the household. I discovered this last Sunday, and have since been turning almost everything I would consume normally into juice, and drinking it. Carrots, beets, lettuce, yams, etc. Oatmeal. Two things I have learned:
1. You don't actually need to add water to your coffee beans to make drinkable coffee.
2. Drinking this ( Read more... ) -
tautology
Besides the new “Hum’rous Corner” tag for this blog, I will be implementing a “Language” tag. As in “Language>: that first sentence was poorly constructed”. Haha just kidding [I will be using the “Language” tag for all entries relating to words and language. Linguistics and etymology are fascinating to me and I write about them (it?) often. The ( Read more... )
