I had this conversation the other day with a coworker about people being dispensable. He said that people are not, while I say people are. I don’t exactly remember how the conversation started, or whether we were talking about people or friends in specific, but I said I would explain my reasoning once [...]

Do you know what Sunday is? It’s daylight savings time, and for the first time in four years, I actually have to do something about it. Living in Indiana for college has afforded me the luxury of not needing to adjust my biological clock. But FINALLY, them Hoosiers will participate in daylight [...]

Point is, my bracket fucking sucks this year. Duke [...]

I have issues with myspace. I have issues with eharmony. In general, I have issues with online social networks. They’re so impersonal and distant that no one really ever thinks anything harmful to come from it. And it’s like, we’re all part of the network, but we don’t talk about it [...]
