Today I feel compelled to share one of my favorite animated films. I suppose in the realm of obscure, independent animators, Don Hertzfeldt is probably the most mainstream of them all, but frankly, that's for good reason. If you've never seen any of his films, I urge you to rectify that. » Continue Reading
I'm a ghost. I am within and without. I blend as another face within the crowd. I can enter and leave a public place and there's a high chance that no one would even notice I was there. I am expendable. I could disappear without a moments notice and the world would still spin. Time would tick on and the remainder of life would continue living. I am not special. I could disappear and no one would l... » Continue Reading
The wrath of God lays beneath this soil. I dunno if it's just a "getting older" thing, but I feel like the older I get, the less interested I am in fireworks. It's almost like, the wonder and joy that I used to feel when seeing them has faded and now I just see fireworks as more of a nuisance than anything. Just something loud and obnoxious and probably also slightly polluting. My extended family ... » Continue Reading
Which is fine by me. So, like, you know those, um, like, floppy disks that we used to have? Like, the hard diskettes that had paper labels that you could write on? Just these nice, reusable, physical, compact, little disks that made a satisfying tactile feel when you put them in a drive. I miss those.

There is an art to abstraction and randomness, and when performed correct, it can be very funny. But obviously just runni... » Continue Reading
Maybe it's just the lack of sleep talking, but man, oh man, do I miss the internet circa 2005. Such a simpler time. Much less to obsess over or worry about. There was just blogs, forums, primitive video hosting sites with easygoing content, flash games, flash websites, Homestar Runner, a couple of MMO games you could play in the browser, slow loading JPEGs, weird niche websites, AIM, Yahoo Messeng... » Continue Reading
So, like, what's the deal with people? Like, you go to the store to go and get some canned green beans, because it helps you cling on to the feint remains of your sad, sad childhood and also because you don't like getting fresh green beans because no matter what you do you just can't freaking get it cooked right and it tastes all gross and rubbery and you can't stand it... anyway, So like you go t... » Continue Reading
Ok so like, what do you do when, like, you're just laying there, in like, your bed and stuff, and then like, you see that the remote is all the way over on the other side of the room, and you're like, "well why is that way over there?" But like, now you need to decide, because like, you're so incredibly comfortable but like, now you need to maybe get up and get that remote, because like, that one ... » Continue Reading
