This Is How You Die: Suicide is Painless. Heart... →
how-you-die:
It’s suicide, in my head. Day in, day out, for hours at a time, just a parade of slashed wrists, empty pill bottles, bloody showers and gaping 10th floor office windows. My easy, white, middle class life is a quagmire of doubt and self-loathing that I’m eager to permanently escape from.
But I…
My submission to Chuck’s morbid collection.

In Response to Weiner's Defenders
Screw that guy. Screw him right in his stupid, utterly predictable politician face. And screw you for blindly doing the exact same thing you decry Republican voters for doing when one of their guys gets caught doing the exact same thing as our guy.
I still agree with you that he shouldn’t resign. The man’s a rhetorical dynamo amidst a flock of vaguely donkey-like sheep, and I would...

Litany Against Self-Sabotage
I must not be pissy on the Internet.
Being pissy on the Internet preserves a moment of pettiness for all time.
Pettiness is the character flaw that invalidates all accomplishments.
I will face my pissiness.
I will remember my own mistakes and let it wash away from me.
And when it has gone I will turn my eye to something positive and tweet it.
Where the pissiness has gone there will be...

Veteran's Day Silence
So I just tweeted this:
“To the dickweasals so excited to fill Twitter with Guy Fawkes rhymes a week ago: Where are you today, a day that actually means something?”
It may have been a bit harsh, but I don’t like the seeming lack of discussion this day receives. I am extremely uncomfortable with the casual way in which we accept an ongoing war and wanted to make it known to our...

If you know anything about Jason Corley, it’s that he’s the self-proclaimed Best GM in Tucson. In the years I’ve known Jason, I have not seen a thing to dispute that. I could talk about his gaming style, how he brings greatness to the gaming table (or living room in his home…

Misplaced Articles
For the last few years I’ve been slowly replacing the goofy-but-still-a-part-of-who-I-am “rumtuggle” handle with “The Great Egress”. I like the juxtaposition of its grandiose sound and its utterly mundane meaning. And though I’m not much of a career liar myself, something about Barnum’s use of the language to influence the crowds speaks to the writer side...
