I was reading this article about the future of humanity. I got to thinking that immortality, or at least the flavor we’re most likely to see in the near future, is probably not a good idea. Until we can eliminate some of the common ills of being human, we probably should put the brakes on … Read more
I wonder if I could live/work in New York City. It seems like a very good place for creative types, but i wonder a great deal about whether or not I wouldn’t end up in prison for killing some random cocksucker who tries to mug me. Is that bad?

I love football, but I hate being a charger fan. It is quite possibly the worst type of relationship a grown adult can get into. You could make a case for any number of relationships being worse, but truly, the unrequited love affair that is a charger fan for the last 50 years maybe be … Read more
