Random Acts of Mindless (Or What Was I Thinking?)

So, there are two kinds of people in the world. There is the guy who stands at the subway platform, looks at his watch, and worries that he’s going to be late. And there’s the guy who looks at the

Going To The Movies (Or What Has It Gots In Its Pocketses, Precious)

So I haven’t been to an actual movie theatre in ages. I think the last movie I went out to see was Men in Black. The first one. Yeah, that long ago. It’s not that I don’t like going to

Winning the lottery (or it never hurts to ask)

So what would you do with a million dollars? I’m not asking for myself, unfortunately. It was just a question that I ask when I buy the occasional lottery ticket. I think it’s less about wish-fulfillment than it is a

What Do You Want? (or My Inner Dialogue Part Two)

So I’m talking to myself again and I say, “Hey me.” “Oh, you again?” “What do people want?” “You mean besides sex, oxygen and the occasional jelly donut?” “Yeah.” “How should I know?” “You’re people, aren’t you? What do you

My Heroes Aren’t So Super (or Nobody Looks Good in Spandex)

The need for moderate voices in public discussion (or Cover your mouth when you cough)

So I keep hearing that my body is mostly made up of bacteria. I am apparently nothing more than a containment vessel for all kinds of microscopic flora and fauna. More of me is not me than is me. In

Anonymity and digital culture (or Who are you and what are you doing here?)

There are times we would like to be famous and times we wish we were invisible. Few among us could deny wanting to be a rock star, a ballerina, or an astronaut at some point on our lives (for me,

The Fine Art of Complaining

(or Did You See What I Did There?) Everyday I meet people who are upset about something in their lives. Whether it’s the food they’re eating, the people they work with, or what’s on TV. There is no end to

Living in a Post-Capitalist World (or First, Kill All the Bankers)

What is everywhere and nowhere? Who really does know when you’re sleeping and when you’re awake? Who feeds you, clothes you and puts a roof over your head? That’s right. It’s the big, bad corporation. And they know where you
