More spoilers for this horrible movie that I love. A long time ago I decided to do a live reaction review of Space Jam: A New Legacy and post 115 thoughts I had about the film on my blog. I made it through half of the movie before I couldn’t take it anymore, and the Read more

As I said in the title, this is not a review of The Batman, because I won’t get to see that until the day after I’m releasing this. This is more of a cathartic exercise for me. I’ve gotten way too excited for this movie, and I want to get rid of some of the Read more

Following the immense success of my five weird movie pitches, I thought I should take my talents to another industry entirely. Why stop with movies when I can make way more money off these incredibly lucrative ideas I have? It’s time for me to take my talents to TV! Hoopy Days – Hoop Springs EternalWillard Read more

I fell asleep during my Communications class again today. The teacher didn’t notice, because he’s teaching 120 students in a big lecture hall. It sounds like I didn’t snore this time, and I doubt anyone else noticed. I also record the lectures for this class, so I really didn’t miss anything. It’s all good. At Read more

What is it about holidays that makes them think they’re better than normal days? What makes December 25th better than October 9th or April 23rd? I think it’s time we show more appreciation for regular days. Celebrate the in-between moments. Like January 14th. It’s not a holiday. There’s no significance. But isn’t that good? Holidays Read more

For the sake of tradition, I will now write a list of things that I will not end up doing in the coming year, so I can look back at this and get super depressed 364 days from now. Let’s do it! Be funnier. Go on more adventures. Figure out how to make the stubble Read more

As a gift to myself I have decided not to write some long involved poem or joke interview or story about evil corporations. There are so many “funny takes” on the holiday season and I really just don’t see the point of adding my own. Especially because I’ve been focused on my posts for next Read more

John VS Plumbing A few nights ago the City of Duluth decided to turn off the water everywhere for reasons that remain unclear. This occurred at an inopportune time. I had just gone to the bathroom and I went to wash my hands. The bathroom faucet decided not to cooperate. “Hmmmmm.” I tried to turn Read more

Obviously spoilers for this horrible movie that I love. Two months ago now I sat down to review Space Jam: A New Legacy. My plan was to write a thought down for every minute of the film, which has a runtime of 115 minutes. But I couldn’t do it. I got halfway through and it Read more

The clock tells me that the time is currently 1:13 AM. My brain tells me I should sleep. My body tells me I should sleep. The fact that I have class in the morning means I should probably go to sleep. But I’d rather listen to podcasts, eat Wheaties, and play Project: Makeover. My brain Read more

Thanksgiving is a holiday all about reuniting with your loved ones, enjoying some excellent turkey(Unless you’re vegetarian, vegan, pescatarian or something else I’m forgetting), and appreciating what you have. For some of us. Unfortunately, there are some out there sacrificing more than we could ever comprehend so we can enjoy this joyful time of year. Read more

Thanksgiving is a holiday all about reuniting with your loved ones, watching the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, and appreciating what you have. For some of us.

Thanksgiving is a holiday all about reuniting with your loved ones, eating good pie, and appreciating what you have. For some of us. Unfortunately, there are some out there sacrificing more than we could ever comprehend so we can enjoy this joyful time of year. And nobody is thanking them. Over the last month I Read more

I’d prefer not to put out two posts in the same day, but this man deserves it. At time of writing, I have yet to buy my two copies of his magazine, but first chance tomorrow, I’m running down to the grocery store to get them. If you’re reading this, you probably know about this Read more

I’d be able to get so much done if other, more creative people would just stop making things. Like most human beings, I have ADHD, so if I see something shiny and entertaining, I’m probably gonna ditch whatever I’m working on to go see what this shiny thing is about. Which is difficult, because my Read more

Today I took a Jefferson Lines bus home for fall break. It’s my second time on the Jefferson Lines, but this time instead of booking a bus leaving from Campus, I booked one that would board at the bus station downtown. It showed me no option for a bus leaving from campus, so I booked Read more

It begins with a stuffed mouse. It has distinctly round black ears that could be recognized from any distance. At the end of it’s cartoonish snout lies a spherical black knob of a nose. Hidden beneath the nose is a large, toothy, friendly grin. The mouse wears bright red shorts, yellow shoes, and distinct white Read more

This is something I’ve wanted to write about for some time now, as it’s a very clear comparison that not many people have made. At least, from what I can tell. But when I’ve told people this, I’ve been mocked and ridiculed. People think that I’m not serious just because I’m comparing two seemingly different Read more

Welcome to my blog! This project means a lot to me, so I wanted to thank you for your support. I can’t promise that every post will be brief, but I can promise that most of the things I say will be completely idiotic. I learned how to read when I was two years old. Read more

I’m lost Struggling Grasping for breath beneath the unrelenting waves Of tacky desk confectionaries A nearby aisle assaults me with wicker baskets While I’m nearly strangled by some soft blankets The scented candles attempt to burn me alive I try to run To escape But trip over a fuzzy ottoman that’s been on sale since Read more
