I usually try and save a good chunk of my income every month and have been good about it through my first 10 months of unemployment. However, over the last 4 months, I have not been paying enough attention to my financial situation and after inspecting my bank statements I have discovered I have over a thousand dollars less today than I did two months ago.… read more “Joel is currently a Spendthrift Bastard”

Mrs. Dalloway by Virginia Woolf
I just finished reading Mrs. Dalloway by Virginia Woolf. Mrs. Dalloway is all about one day in a woman’s life in late 1800s London. She is an upper-class woman about to throw a party that evening and much of the story involves her interactions with people and those people’s interactions with other and the intertwinings of their lives.… read more “Mrs. Dalloway by Virginia Woolf”
Don’t Hate This White Man…
I never held you down… I never oppressed you… I never enslaved you.
If your father stole a million dollars should you be held personally responsible for his actions? Should you be in debt for the rest of your life? If he killed a man, should you sit in the electric chair in his absence?
An accepted principle of justice systems in the modern world is that the son cannot be held accountable for the actions of the father.… read more “Don’t Hate This White Man…”

The lost chapter of Revelations, Chapter 23, foretold of the the coming onslaught:
Revelations 23:1 In the Revelation passed onto me by the Lord I saw the tall man coming up out of the earth and he had two followers;a small, kindly box that chirped and hummed like a songbird alongside a gargantuan beast with legs like tree trunks, a chest larger than that of an ox, eyes of flame and an unsurpassed manhood.… read more “New, Final Chapter of the Bible’s Book of Revelations Found!

Seattle Homeless: Shambling Zombies
I was coming home at around 4am last night through Chinatown and the only people up at that ungodly hour were the crazies, bums and druggies: Seattle’s homeless population. The International District seems to be a hotspot for these dredges of humanity, I saw tons of them walking around and engaging in aimless wandering, windmilling their arms or just staring blankly at me as I passed.… read more “Seattle Homeless: Shambling Zombies”
