That’s how I roll, motherfucker. Personally? I’d be more intimidated by the dude with the bow tie and pipe than the “zomg hardcore” teenage asshole. English majors are some scary shit. Have you ever been insulted by a Shakespearean expert? You don’t want to be. Shakespeare knew how to piss people off.
More evidence of the [...]

My last few posts have been particularly philosophical. That sort of got me thinking. How much brilliant insight and thought is scattered throughout little-read blogs? Sure, you’d have to wade through a fair amount of trash to find out, but hell, maybe it’s worth a shot. Who knows what you’d find?
It’s the knowledge of the [...]

…and why he’s so fucking badass.
He was a sickly little kid. Asthmatic, got sick a lot. But instead of staying in bed all the time, do you know what he did? He learned to box. He killed and caught animals to learn about them. While he was in college, he boxed and rowed. When he [...]

Why do you get a history lesson today? Because I said so, and because I feel it’s important. This is one of those awesome, interesting things of history that seems to be not taught in schools. Which is complete bull shit.
The Battle of Cable Street (or the Cable Street Riot)
London, 1936. October 4th, a [...]

I’m going to add something to my Live, Laugh, Love post from yesterday. Hopefully, this one won’t be as long-winded.

I quite frankly couldn’t think of a good title for this post. Shush.
So, here’s what I was thinking about yesterday: how many kids diagnosed with ADD/ADHD/Asberger’s actually have it? Before the shitstorm begins, yes I do acknowledge that they are real diseases. Part of the problem is that the symptoms are hard to track, particularly [...]

I’ve been watching the Human Body special on Discovery (yes, I’m the person who stays home on Saturday nights to watch documentaries). I mean really watching it. They’re showing it on a loop, and I swear I’ve seen the Brainpower episode three times. It is truly fascinating. I’ve always been interested in biology, although my science [...]
