Party Foul
“Who is this person again?” I calmly asked as I adjusted my unruly boxers for the twentieth time. “A friend from college, I told you, a sorority sister. We went to their wedding, remember? The one in Italy?” Of course, how could I forget? Star-crossed lovers from the Midwest opted out of a thirty-minute drive to their local church so they could force three hundred people to buy a 1500-dollar plane ticket, yeah I remember. “And Jason remember, her husband, you and him hit it off?” We in fact did not hit it off. I clocked Jason from a mile away, slick-backed hair, Oakleys hanging from his pastel color shirt. Speaking with him only affirmed my assumptions: trust fund baby with a high seat at his daddy's company table. I was shocked he could even talk with that silver spoon in his mouth.

A paradox in time
The numbness slowly dissipates as my fingers grip the warm ceramic mug. With an involuntary shiver I glance around my tiny bare thin-walled apartment. Staring in silence out a filthy window at the world below. Ever since the subsidy cuts to the veteran’s service were announced I must decide whether to pay the heat bill, buy food, or pay the rent.

It caught me off guard at first, but I was reassured by the fact that, if you will forgive the phrase, [the after] life goes on. And on, and on, and on, as a matter of fact – so it’s good to make sure you’ve turned the gas off and taken your library books back.

Monty Python and the Holy Grail
I woke up this morning to one and one-half hours of glorious, old-fashioned comedy sketches from Monty Python. I'm probably feeling a little too glum to write a review of it right now, so let me inform you that this review is, in fact, NOT an actual review, but an approximation of what sort of review I might write if writing a review were what I had in mind. It isn’t, and this is not, and well, I’m still here, and so are you.

Johnny McGory
Shall I tell you a story about Johnny McGory? Shall I begin it? That’s all that’s in it. Oh, don’t go pulling such a face on me. That one always made you laugh when you were a kid, and I don’t mean to imply that you’re a goat now. Ahh, there’s a smile.

How Cool Is This?
All cool cats, eventually, should veer away from self-serving solipsism and ponder the "meaning of it all." It can't be all about bitchin' cars, "it" couples, clicks-and-likes, and liquidity, can it?

The Car
Albert pressed his foot on the clutch as he put the key in the ignition. He turned it to the right expecting, as would anyone, the engine to engage. It didn't. He tried again, pressing on the clutch a little harder this time. Nothing.

Three Guys Die . Content Warning.
"So, an absurdist, an existentialist, and a nihilist walk into a bar... No, that's not a set up for a bad joke. I'm a prophet and that's our future. The three of us, tonight. Drinks at The Old Tavern." Rudy beams at his friends and pushes his brand-new glasses higher on his nose.
