This weekend kicked my ass. Friday night, after having come home from work, I had to come back to work around 9pm to close the building as a favor to one of the big wigs and my mom. Then Saturday, at 6am, I come into work to get work done early so I can help […]

My first job was at the store I work in now. At the time I was only a clerk, and the store’s scope was smaller, being under different management. It’s the equivalent of going from being a franchise to a chain. Cost goes down, perks go up, rules are more strict. The head of accounting […]

There’s been a pressing question on my mind, and I’m sure it’s been on all 12 of your minds as well. What ever happened to that kid in Kindergarten Cop that told Richard Kimble that boys have penises, and girls have vaginas? My friends, I have some answers. Miko Hughes was born February 22, 1986 […]

When I was a wee little lad on a road trip to Seattle, my Uncle Steve, Aunt Terre, and cousin Svea stayed with one of Steve’s friends who owned a computer. Knowing my dork tendencies, even back in 93, my uncle got his friend to let me play some games on the computer. There was […]

I just helped a mother who was likely suffering from mild retardation. Her son is going on a hike this weekend. She wants her son to be prepared, and for him to fit in as well. These are reasonable desires for a parent to have, and I applaude her on this. She wanted to know […]

The Dante’s Inferno Test has banished you to the Eigth Level of Hell – the Malebolge!

You know how you put something in a “safe place” so you won’t lose it, but then you end up losing it anyhow because that “safe place” was so safe that nobody on earth now knows of its existence? Then, while looking for something weeks later that is also in such a “safe place” you […]

I go to Pasadena City College. Much like other colleges, the parking situation is not ideal. In the past they constructed a parking structure, 5 levels tall, to take the place of one of their lots. This has helped, but not entirely. Last semester they started construction on another structure, taking out another lot to […]

I have a car. Not a piece of shit with wheels and a mass of metal that vaguely resembles a motor that isn’t registered, I’m talking about a bona fide registered, insured car. It’s a 93 Dodoge Intrepid. There’s a few small things that need fixing, but nothing severe. I’m mobile now. Let it be […]

Yesterday my friends Kat and Brian called me up. I met Brian through a Burningman kegger my camp threw to raise funds. He and his cohorts saved the day, and became buds instantly. Pooks and I actually ended up going up with them. Kat went out with my boy Phil. It’s a wonder her and […]
