There comes a time in every man’s life when he leaves his mobile phone at home when he leaves in the morning. That time is exactly like the seven hundred other times he’s done it. Happy Friday the 13th everyone. Remember, when fleeing from unstoppable machete-weilding murderers, you really only have to outrun the stoner […]

I’ve been doing a lot of heavy writing about VERY IMPORTANT THINGS™ in the social and political arenas lately, so today I’m simply going to make mention of a few of the little things that don’t necessarily have earth-shattering importance.
