I haven't done a whole lot of Road Tripping lately, so rather than pay for idle web space, I thought I'd start writing down some of my ideas and opinions. I thought it might be fun to look back on these later on down the road, or maybe its because I'm getting older now and have so many opinions about stuff I hate, but here it is. If you're into this kind of thing, you can read the ramblings of a grumpy, thirty something year old man.

I didn't build a function for replies to be posted to my site simply because... I don't care. This isn't a public forum and I don't feel like having other peoples garbage posted here. You can use the 'Send Reply' button at the bottom of each article to send me an email, but if you disagree with what I'm saying, my standard reply is: Kiss My Ass. I'm pretty much set in my ways and you're not going to change my mind. Feel free to try though if you want an exercise in futility.

Taking back Christmas November 13, 2007

The Fart Fire Video April 25, 2007
Lighting a fart on fire is harder than it looks.
FUCK the Homeless! April 23, 2007
I've never been a big fan of the homeless. You're never giving your change to the eccentric, super-smart guy, down on his luck, that just needs a little food and a warm place to sleep before he imparts upon you all of lifes wisdoms he gathered while living on the street that Hollywood likes to portray. No, homeless people now fall into one of two categories for me. They're either batshit crazy, or they're lazy, worthless assholes.

The Hororrs of Childbirth May 29, 2006
On April 29th 2006 at 2:27 PM, I officially became a father to an 8 pound 7 oz little girl named Riley Diane Jackson. And while this was one of the happiest days of my life, the experience was for me... the most heart-wrenching and bloody 14 hours I've ever been through, and I'm letting anyone know from now on that tells me how "beautiful" childbirth is how retarded they are.

The Medicinal Power of Marijuana and Laughter October 03, 2005
Never underestimate the medicinal power of a hash joint and a really stupid joke. Sometimes laughter IS the best medicine.
The Corporate Invasion September 22, 2005
You know those old Flintstones cartoons, when they'd show Fred and Barney in the car driving through Bedrock. You'd see the same scenery passing by them over and over again? Same rock, same tree, same boulder, same building... It's starting to feel like that where I live.
My Other Car is a Tank July 20, 2005
Since when was owning an SUV a MUST for raising a family?

Get off my Website you Sick Fucks! May 31, 2005
If you came here looking for child porn, seek help; preferably the kind of help that ends with you putting the business end of a shotgun into your mouth and turning your head into a canoe.
The Porn Explosion May 05, 2005
Where in the hell did all this porn come from?
Is Anyone Else Sick of the Religous Right? March 31, 2005

The Definition of a Sport September 17, 2004

Lets All go to the Movies June 20, 2004
Ticket prices, Widescreen versions, Subtitles and more... things that annoy me about the movie industry and the crap they turn out.
Childproofing America for Childless Americans June 15, 2004
I dig kids. I think I can remember being one myself at some point. But I don't have any right now and I feel like I'm being punished for it. It seems like everywhere I go now, I'm surrounded by kids doing the things that kids do best; running around like loud, obnoxious little animals.
