it’s me. hi.
March 17th, 2024 Oh, man, I can’t believe I’m about to do this but I’m going to solve all of the division in our truly divided country, right now. Are you ready for the secret? I honestly should charge for this kind of history-defining information, but I’m kind of a socialist Jesus-type, so here itContinue reading “it’s me. hi.”
Let Go
March 15th, 2024 My fingers are locked tight around the steering wheel. I imagine all the ways this could go wrong at any moment, the reheated leftovers of PTSD, driving a formally stolen car that tried to kill me last year. I wonder if I can get fast enough that my car could lift upContinue reading “Let Go”
Fluke
March 11th, 2024 I can say without hyperbole that this book, Fluke, by Brian Klaas, is one of the best I’ve ever read. The problem with reviewing something is that you don’t want to spoil the thing for a potential reader, but you have to say enough to make them feel compelled to read it.Continue reading “Fluke”
trouble sleeping
March 7th, 2024 I know I’ve said this before, but I’m tired. Mostly, I’m tired of pretending. I like Joe Biden. I’m not in love with him. He’s far from perfect. He’s not my whole personality. In fact, he’s not even part of it. I have a lot of my own bad ideas and bigContinue reading “trouble sleeping”

A Serious Man
February 16th, 2024 We have the best access to all the information from all of human history and, according to recent studies, less comprehension of it than ever before. This is a unique era of humanity; not because, generally, we have lost all sense of context, trust, and grace, but because it has never beenContinue reading “A Serious Man”
State of Grace
February 12th, 2024 Am I going to comment on Travis Kelce today? You bet I am. Because if there’s one thing I love to do, it’s challenge the rotting hive mind of the rabid mob we know as the internet. I saw the moment last night. Travis comes in hot, taking his coach, 65-year-old AndyContinue reading “State of Grace”
New Era
February 6th, 2024 omg. My paperback copies of Sunny Days of Rain arrived today, and I was not joking about its size. My last essay collection was a slim 451 pages, compared to this 824-page giant-sized behemoth. If you would have told me back in 2017 that there would be over 1,200 printed pages ofContinue reading “New Era”
Sunny Days of Rain
January 31st, 2024 What kind of psycho announces and then drops a new book on the same day? It’s me. I’m the psycho. Sunny Days of Rain, my twelfth book and second essay collection, is out now. This video gives you all the information (and affirmations) you need, but I did write a few quickContinue reading “Sunny Days of Rain”
