We Are But Blades Of Grass Tossed Into An Uncaring Wind

"We are but blades of grass tossed into an uncaring wind. All effort is vain, all order an illusion." -- Coach Jack Del Rio, 2008, then head coach of the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Wringing Out A Washcloth In Zero-G

Just what I said:

Sounds: Goat - Goatman

This was too easy, cause this song is just too good:

Non-Linear Storytelling: A Sweet Infographic

Just what I said. Cool visual breakdown of Non-Linear Storytelling. Did I Stutter?

New Song:

I wrote this for a friend who just moved and I think I tapped into a little emotional reservoir, a cistern of happy/sadness, a (let's see how long we can keep this up) amphora of clashing forces, a septic tank of hope. That was a bit much. Didn't mean for this piece to be so somber, but really, I've had three of my best, closest friends, friends who make San Francisco home for me, move away in the past two years. What's this whole growing up, moving on bullshit? At the same time, pretty crazy stoked for all of them: starting new adventures, lives, living in new cities/countries. It's a mixed emotional bag: love that they are expanding their lives, sucks they they are leaving. The only constant is change. And thus:

Cookies All The Way

As a fellow creme hater, I'm 100% behind David Neevel's latest invention: an OSM. Oreo Separator Machine. It's an acronym. This dude spent 0.04 years on this amazing invention. He also had to keep his neck warm. It was a slog, but well worth it. Cookie technology has been pushed into the 21st century. Finally:

Also, his website is dickbird.org. Lovin' it.

Worst Fleshlight Ever

Wish I'd said that. Got that from a redditor, who was talking about this:

Jiminy Christmas! Some dude caught that bowfishing! I guess that goes without saying. How else could you catch that thing? Oh, right. Harpoon. My friend, Mikey G, said that "fish" was rather phallic looking (but he says that about everything). Said it was a dick with teeth. Which is now the name of my latest screamo band: Dick With Teeth.

Sweet Review of "Guppies"

I mean, the headline says it all: got a sweet review of my short story "Guppies" in Dark Dimensions No. 12, which is up over at Wattpad. My story and the magazine.

M. Night Shyamalan's Real Genius

Zoochosis: Case 5 - Fate

I like the original title better: Mousocracy. But Patrick Scott ended up using rats. Rats! I'd like to take more credit for co-writing this, but in truth Patrick came up with most of this on his own. And even more in post production. The whole Mouse Kingdom? That was Patrick. Bomber that turns into a croissant (favorite part!). Patrick. In fact, the only thing I wrote that ended up in the final cut was the scientists taking notes. I wrote that. And I'll gladly take an oscar for that, thankyouverymuch.

Check out the rest of his crazy work here.

For $360 People of Color Can Learn About White Privilege

I'm not making this up. It's the White Privilege Conference, as presented, if the photo on the front page is representative, by white people. Specifically, Quakers:

Don't get me wrong, totally acknowledge white privilege. In fact, who better to discuss it than white people? And what better way to show it than throwing a conference and charging everyone, including people of color, $360 to attend, but only charging predominantly white Quakers $160 to attend? And why should people of color come to the White Privilege Conference?

People of color learn from this conference that White supremacy, White privilege, racism and other forms of oppression are designed to destroy you.
