Joan of Arc →
Though I don’t support the idea that G-d sanctions war, I still want to repost this because I love the crap out of Joan of Arc.
The idea that someone who was both a child and a girl could accomplish so much without societies ordinance is riveting and endearing to me beyond measure.

Fat Mike loses it. NSFW →
PLEASE BE ADVISED: THE FOLLOWING IS VERY GRAPHIC AND MAY NOT BE FOR ALL READERS.
I have really struggled whether to post this or not, but it’s one of the most disturbing/riveting things I’ve read in awhile.
Apparently towards the end of SXSW in Austin, famed label owner and NOFX frontman Fat Mike did an acoustic performance as Cokie the Clown.
The show was said to be one of the...

FYI
My grades suck so I need to buckle down.
If I’m writing on this thing often between now and May, comment and tell me to concentrate on school.
I’ll express my feelings for college with lyrics from my current favorite band, The Wonder Years:
“I’m not sad anymore, I’m just tired of this place. If this year would just end I think we’d all be...

Time machines again
I was sitting outside a McDonald’s the otherday talking to someone about the best way to beat an assault wrap and the thought occured to me “why am I having this conversation?” I became a bit sad. It then followed to reason that I began thinking about why I know how to pick a lock, throw a punch, or beat a security system.
It’s all because I don’t have a time...

LOST whispering transcripts →
If you are into LOST and would like to stand on the brink of sanity and blankly stare into a stygian pit of madness, please click on the provided link. It has transcripts of the Others’ whispers made by backwards engineering audio from episodes of LOST.
BUT BEWARE: The following will add a slippery sheen of chaos to reality, making it more difficult to keep a grip on.

Blahblahblaaaargh (vom sound)
I have good news for all my female friends and readers.
I no longer have the time or energy to hate Lady Gaga.
In recent years, the vast sea of hatred on which my cynicism fleet would set sail has been reduced to a stream of contempt with a few agitation leaves floating in it. Which is to say, I’m a much more peaceful and positive guy than in years past. Since the spite well is shallower...

They Might Be Giants (Flood Show) RVA 3/11
They Might Be Giants’ entire 2+ hour set last night can be summed up in one hilarious moment. On the recent tour, the band has taken to blasting humorous amounts of confetti into their audience. At one point during the show, there was so much confetti in The National that the band couldn’t get through “Lucky Ball & Chain”. They stopped mid song, too tickled by the...

His lethargic display of apathy and lack of industry is shameful!
-His lethargic display of apathy and lack of industry is shameful!
-It is a legitimate response to the harsh and inconsequential nature of being. I celebrate his tenacity!

Wormhole
Those who drives on the highway daily knows that it can be a mind-blowing event at any given time. Once you get over the road rage and just learn to observe others’ (driving as if they CAN’T end your life at 70 mph) you really notice how ridiculous mass transit can be.
For those of us who take I-195 through Richmond and connect up with 95 North, we witness a preternatural phenomenon...

Guidos, Punks, and The Lord of The Rings
I’ve recently been prone to exploring a certain strain of logic that I think my readers will find entertaining. Stick with me, it gets a little weird.
Everyone has something to say about MTV’s hit reality series Jersey Shore. Mostly my comments have been relegated to threats of suicide, having lost all hope in mankind. As I was defending my distaste for the show and the...

You have to understand Mr. Napier...
Remember the part in Burton’s original Batman where Joker first sees his own reflection? He’s sitting in the surgical chair and unwraps his face demanding “mirror!”
Then, after viewing his mangled visage, he laughs maniacally until the scene ends.
Well, today at school, the same thing happened.
While I was on my break (yes they give me 30 minutes to pee and eat) a heist...

Richmond Photog Covers WBC Protest →
Check out these riveting images by Richmonder PJ Sykes depicting the VCU counter protest of the Westboro Baptist Church.
I know I ranted about ignoring the WBC, but these pics are great and they mostly depict the counter protest. It really could be a counter for any group.

This is not a Westboro Baptist Church post
Today in Richmond the nutcakes at WBC are bringing us protests about nothing. They protest gays. They protest Jews. They’re never actually read the Bible.
Like any rational person, I’m enraged by the uncaged idiocy that these people exude. But that being said, I can’t say I’m for counter-protests. Trying to engage people like this, or the common “Turn or Burn”...

The Douche Mansion
So my wife and I finally made the big move this weekend into our new house.
When we started researching the place, what we knew was that it was between 2 catholic schools, the landlord was an over-sharer who was a better artist than landlord, and that it was inhabited by 4 guys in their 30’s. All that being taken into account we figured it would be a mean feat to clean the place up. Upon...
