Fear and Loathing South of the Border: A Word on Mexico
As a person who never feels fully alive unless he’s in danger of being killed, life in a developed nation can get a little bland. It is for that reason that I participated in a diplomatic mission to Baja California this past weekend despite universal advice to the...

A Fate Worse Than Death: A Word on Traffic Jams
Can I talk to you for five minutes about traffic? Far as I can tell, traffic jams are pretty much the worst thing happening in the world. I watch the news, I listen to podcasts, I occasionally read one of the free USA Todays at Chick-Fil-A. I know what’s going on...
No, You Can’t Ask Me Something
Let me tell you something about men that you probably already know: we don’t like questions. Questions are conversational bear traps that typically end with us having to (a) make a decision about something we don’t care about or (b) exert unnecessary intellectual...
Is AIM Still A Thing? – My Ongoing Battle with the Modern Age
Let me begin by saying that it is not so much that I dislike technological advancement; it’s that I like technology just fine the way it is, and don’t see why we have to keep messing with it. I know I’m not supposed to feel this way. I’m still in my mid-twenties. ...

Some News in Review – The Dumb York Times
I’ve heard a lot of crap about The New York Times being biased toward the “left” side of things. I usually don’t pay attention to that, really. I don’t live in New York and I don’t care about their Times. This article, however, has me fully convinced that The New York...
