I’ve been having shooting pains in my head all week. Ever since I tried to light that cigarette on a gas stovetop while it was still in my mouth and I lost balance and burned my friggin forehead. Just thinking about it makes me mad and makes me cringe and cringing my forehead hurts like the dickens. And it’s not like I’m one of those guys who can pull off the whole “medical-gauze-around-his-head” look either. I just look weird.
At the menu screen, press up-down-up-up-down-left-right on the d-pad. Then hold A+B together as you turn the Nintendo 64 off. Volunteer at a local soup kitchen. Get involved with your church.
1. Think of a word to read. (i.e. apple)
2. Say all of the individual letters of the word in order really fast. (i.e. A-P-P-L-E)

Note: This is not the recommended technique for reading. It’s just something to fall back on.
Go down to your local Best Buy, pick out some DVDs, and ask if you can have them for free. You never know…
Last year, July 18th was colder than the dead of winter. Honest to God. It was so cold the summer swans were frozen solid in midair. All I can say is we’re lucky Uncle Dan got bit by that horsefly the day before or else we’d all be dead.
There we were, the entire family – Mom, Pop, Granddad, Aunt Lizzy, me, Cecilia, and little baby Jeffery – rubbing our hands over Uncle Dan’s beet-red bug bite to keep warm. And Aunt Lizzy had the gall to say, “Why couldn’t you let the horsefly bite you twice?”
What a bitch!
One day, laptop in hand, I will travel across the country from business park to business park, searching for unsecured wireless networks from the safety of my car. Once I have access to the shared network printers, I’ll print out a ten page document made to look like a stream of vomit.
“These printers appear to be sick,” an office drone will say.
And that moment will be mine.
