  • Reading Failures, and Life Update.

    Well, this week has been an okay reading week as compared to my reading in the past five or ten years cumulatively, but it’s not been what I signed up for. In that I didn’t read what I signed up for, almost at all. But Fuck it.

  • Top 25 Rap

    Now, here is where I belong making lists. I know enough about rap to make a list like this more easily and more informedly than the metal one, but that doesn’t mean that I would constitute an expert as much as a heavy enthusiast. (Like a smoker.) I know enough to head off any comments…

  • First Reading Day: Mixed Success.

    “Hot piss on the tip of my lips. “ —The Yellow River Boys, “Hot Piss” I had a better first day than I might have thought I would. I genuinely enjoyed the beginning pages of “Graveyard Shift,” by Stephen King, which is my short story for the Monday and Tuesday, of this Week.

  • Getting Back into Reading, Again.

    And I have the perfect plan, too. Other than just spending the time that I’m writing and thinking about reading actually reading, I have an incremental, step-wise plan to conquer the reading Mountain. Just read short stories! Seriously. Similarly to how you would do smaller weights before you do larger ones, and how you would…

  • Top 25 Metal

    Now, if you had asked me two years ago if I knew enough metal to make a Top 25 list, I would have said, “No, here’s my top ten.” But, if you were to ask me now, I’d say, maybe, “Well, I just watched a little of Coverkillernation’s list of his Top 50, leading me…

    This post is not just going to be about death metal, but also about other extreme, so-called, forms of Music. Black metal, even other kinds of metal (death and black generally being considered the most extreme, and forms of them, like war metal and brutal death metal, etc.), really help someone get in touch with…

  • Most Handsome Man.

    Tim and Eric called the Handsome Man content about ten, or actually, no, more like twelve or more, maybe(?), years ago. And now, I present to you (an actually good video, but still), the serious handsome man video.

  • Ways I Can Improve My Life4

    Being (More) Thrifty So, a couple months ago, I got the bright idea (it was) to start buying bags of tobacco and rolling cigarettes rather than paying fourteen dollars for them, every time you wanted another twenty or twenty-one. Well, I am just running out of the first ten-dollar bag of tobacco. I was probably…

  • Ways I Can Improve My Life2.

    So, as I have Atomic Habits next to me, and have even read a little bit of it, tonight, which I add to having already gotten to the page numbered 20, what are some of the things I can do to improve my life (or, let’s say, my “life situation,” as ordered by Michael Brown…

  • Ways I Can Improve My Life

    So, Jordan Peterson, in one of his many helpful sayings or just one of the many helpful things that he has said (“sayings” makes it sound like he just repeats the same things over and over, which I guess might happen with a lot of speakers, him included, but nevertheless), suggested to make your schedule…
