99 Glass Balloons

Wednesday, October 24, 2012

Many years ago, I read at an event covering the topic of writings found on the Internet. It was the late 90s, and the Web was still a brave and uncharted new world. The concept of uncompensated writers covering unusual and personal topics was novel enough to warrant this sort of attention. The guy who […]

How Can Shadows Be Slimy?

Tuesday, October 2, 2012

Let’s imagine that through some set of circumstances, you end up attending a soda pop bottle collectors’ convention.

I’m Tired of These Old Worn-Out Emotions

Friday, May 4, 2012

I need a new emotion that combines rage with tears of frustration and self-righteousness. Something like anger and sadness mixed together. SANGRINESS.
