    I get up to write, open my cabinet…Wait, what?  Where’s my coffee K-cups?  I just bought a whole box of—Suddenly I hear “Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairies” and I see a bunch of tiny six-inch tall Wall Street Bros (young, overly aggressive, boring-ass financiers that’ll grow into evil, balding, coke-addled World-Breakers) scuttling around with my…

    Back in the hunter/gatherer days (IMHO), sustenance was scarce enough that we evolved to maximize energy intake and minimize effort.  Today however, the blessed of us in the 1st world suffer from a DIFFERENT lack of sustenance—one that is spiritual in nature.  It is no longer productive to ape the habits of our ancestors by gorging ourselves…

    If I fail it’s because of one of two things:  the system is rigged, or I was personally lacking in some aspect.  Now I believe every system has SOME degree of corruption, but unless it consistently overwhelms me, it’s up to me to create a work-around.  So as uncomfortable as it may be, my failures…

    Back in high school.  I see the school’s Resident Douchebag Sports Guys shove a nerd into a locker and secure it.  They’re a bunch of corn-fed suburban guys who are laughing and giving each other high-fives, as well as speaking like they were raised in the concrete jungles of Trenton, NJ  (I’m confused; are these idiots…
