A few days ago i posted this image of a group of white people at a house, showing off their Confederate flag (what i’ve heard some call The Traitor’s Flag) with signs in their yard that read [sic], “I’m a mavrik” and [sic] “socialest”. The former, presumably being a reference to the bold souls that… Read more

In years past, i didn’t use synaesthetic as a place to vent only my political views. But since i’ve started from scratch a few weeks ago, it seems that my focus has been more on politics and social commentary instead of introspection, as it was for most of the time.

In the early to mid nineties something profoundly bad happened to me. The worst aspect of it was that i was never there to see it and it’s effect on me was so gradual that it was undetectable. I started snoring loudly in the early to mid 90’s. I worked at a semiconductor company at… Read more

But it got me thinking- how is it that i… Read more

This goes out to the three hyenas that were a paltry 12 feet away from my girlfriend and me as we tried enjoying some coffee and reading time at the Borders in Gresham this Saturday. Dear ladies, i just wanted to let you know how much i appreciated having my ability to read and the… Read more

Sigh. All i wanted to do was move the journal to a different directory. It shouldn’t be hard but apparently it is. I ended up breaking the entire thing. I wanted to spend more time trying to fix it and i had a pretty good idea of where the problem was. Unfortunately it required skills… Read more

This an actual quote from a singles site: HI MY NAME IS [name deleted] AND I HAVE 3 KIDS SO IF YOU DONT LIKE KIDS PLEASE DONT BOTHER BECAUSE THEY ARE MY LIFE AND I WOULDNT GIVE MY KIDS UP TO PLEASE ANY MAN NO MATTER WHAT THE LAST GUY I WAS WITH DIDNT LIKE… Read more

As some of you know, i had a nice long tirade about the behavior of certain guys in the locker room at the gym i go to. Guess what? I’ve got more tiradesauce to pour upon you. Prepare to be anointed. Let’s start with last night. There’s this rule that if you’re going to sit… Read more
