And now, a few words from the “Andy Rooney” of “Gen X”.
I missed the bus again for a doctor appointment. This “triggers” a series of neurotic behaviors, which I do my best to recognize and manage when they happen.

Value Attrition
My mom used to watch the original Star Trek in syndicated repeats, back when I was a little kid. I detested the program because of the grating sound of the “starship interior”, which was like a never-ending loop of whistly ping noises (to denote space technology of the future). The show was essentially a soap opera, in a 1960’s sci-fi setting.

“The COVID Diaries”
Now that it’s been just over five years since all of our lives were ruined, I think it’s safe for me to impart some “brutal honesty”. That is, more brutal and honest than I tend to be here, anyway.

Performative Existence
Recently, the cover of an old issue of The Comics Journal reminded me of a time when there were so many autobiographical comic books being published, a fatigue set in among readers.

A Broken Clock
Everything on this site was written as though a full-grown adult would read it. If you feel the need to complain because something on this site offended you, you shouldn’t be using the Internet at all.
-from this site’s indicia
If I’ve ever heard a song by either Kanye West or Taylor Swift, it’s news to me. As far as musical artists go, I’m indifferent to both of them.

Savoring The Salt
It is difficult to put into words the feelings and emotions I have been experiencing since late last night, much more so than describing my innermost thoughts over the past four years, many of which I have expressed here. Although unemployment has no doubt weakened my skills as a writer, I will do my best.

It’s Not You, It’s Me
Thanks for meeting me here on such short notice. I picked a public place so there’d be no worries about either of us “freaking out”. The hidden cameras are for your protection as well as mine, and oh by the way I’m live-streaming this to anywhere from four to five dozen people so cool it with the racial slurs. There might be kids around.

Conscientious Objections
For some unfathomable reason, this website has survived for ten whole years. Were I to hazard a guess as to why, I’d say it’s because no one reads anything I write. I have no clout nor cachet that can be destroyed by “cancelling” me, which, in truth, is something of an advantage.

All The World Will Be Your Enemy
Have you ever wished before, on a star, or a birthday candle, or a fallen eyelash? If so, what was the unspoken rule about making sure that wish came true?
