in which I embarrass myself
How do you argue against 1 + 1 = 3? It’s easy to argue about God. You believe this, she believes that. At the end of the day no one’s beliefs are immediately changed but at least there’s a greater understanding between peoples. Arguing about love is simple. I think you love me, I think I don’t. Back and forth. You sit there and say there’s a 100% chance you don’t care for me, I mention how...

Just watched Surf Nazis Must Die, a cult B-movie from 1987. It got me thinking.
I’ve seen a fair share of B-movies from the 70s and 80s and what’s striking to me is their honesty. Surf Nazs (about…nazis…who surf…post-apocalypse?) was bad, but it was also a legitimate attempt from an aspiring director. It was a low budget film from the start and only became a...

You’re a door-without-a-key, a field-without-a-fence You made a holy fool of me, and I’ve thanked you ever since If she comes circling back, we’ll end where we’d begun Like two pennies on the train track the train crushed into one Or if I’m a crown without a king, if I’m a broken, open seed If I come without a thing, I come with all I need No boat out in the...

During our conversation a drunk man came up to Aaron and asked “Can I have your backpack?”
His reaction was “…do you really want it?”
I wish I was half as good, and considering he wishes he was half as good I’m so far behind. Sometimes I think I’m the best in the world, but it comes as a relief that there are still a few above me.

God, Relient K is good.
You forget that sometimes. Even their earlier, less mature work carries a simple brilliance. Sometimes I get so worked up about lyrical complexities that things like easy, nonreferential sincerity go by the wayside.
Relient K started with goofy nonsense far too panderingly inoffensive to carry once you start growing in taste, took a weird turn where they get equal parts “Rappin’...

Earth Fare
In my quest to eat even a modicum bit healthier I stumbled across the organic grocery store in Rock Hill. Okay, let’s scratch that. The blueberries I got were organic, and the store itself was just as meticulously crafted as any other food emporium. The Earth Fare (not the Earth Fair, where bad high school jam bands forget the notes to their favorite Red Hot Chili Peppers songs) bothered...
