The Passing Hello
What are you supposed to do when you and someone you know are walking towards each other and you recognize one another from a distance too great to hold a shoutversation (a conversation where you have to shout because you’re too from one another)? As soon as you acknowledge your counterpart’s presence, there is absolutely nothing you can say as you two silently and awkwardly continue...

The Pick
The honest truth is that most people pick their nose. Sometimes you’ve got some pluggage and you don’t want to walk around with bats in the cave all day, so actions must be taken. I get it. What I don’t get, however, is why there is the socially accepted pick, and then there is the pick that society loves to scowl at.
First, the bad method. Interesting digression - what’s...
A Brilliant Idea
The cook-your-own-food restaurant business has got to be one of the greatest ideas of all time. Opening a restaurant is no easy feat, and is one of the most common failed business ventures because of all the competition. A lot of money has to be invested in this idea. You’ve got to find a space, buy all the food, buy all the supplies, find waiters, find cooks, etc. But then someone,...

A Message to the Cleaning Staff
I have one request to the people who clean public restrooms (specifically in the building I work at). First of all, I recognize that your work is hard labor and not the most glorifying, and I respect you for working your buts off and doing what you gotta do. BUT I must request that you stop filling the paper towel dispensers to the brim! I realize that by doing so it may decrease the frequency at...
Cheapskates
Everyone claims their race to be the “cheapest”. It’s as if it is a cross-cultural competition to be the cheapest bastards there are. The Jews, Blacks, Mexicans, Asians, everyone wants to say that their people are the cheapest! I wonder why that is. I think on the outside, everyone wants to act like that they are ballin so hard mother fuckers wanna fine them. However, the truth...
Recognize I'm Back
I don’t mean to toot my own horn (who am I kidding, I at least kind of am) but a lot of people have been asking me why I don’t blog anymore. I didn’t realize that many people had actually looked at this thing, but after I (stupid, stupid, stupidly) deleted my old tumblr I was never as attached to this one as I was with the old one.
My faith in rambling about my random thoughts...

Living in Italy
Living here this past week has shown me a lot of things. For one, everything is closed on the weekends! Okay, not everything, but I’d say that 80-85% of the shops and restaurants are closed on either Saturday or Sunday, if not both. As I was strolling around the neighborhoods today I realized it is because the Italians seem to have a very different perception of life than Americans. Italian...
