I’m sitting on a pigeon crap-encrusted bench with THAT friend. The one you only see once every few years. You know, the one that arrives like a tornado. I’m outside a Subway at 5:17 am. I’m muttering “I said no fucking onions.” 90% of the digits needed to call the girl who was selling Jell-O […]

I brings the ruckus to the ladies. (Wait. That’s not it.) If you know anything about me, you know that yesterday was my birthday. (There it is.) And I want to thank everyone for the birthday calls, texts, smoke signals, e-mails, she-males, telegraphs, Facebook wall posts/messages/gifts, crudely drawn nude self-portraits, and new socks.

answer the question
Do you ever want to just embrace being happy? forget cynicism exists? enjoy being uncool? be silly and loopy? turn the music up? louder? ball your pants up and throw them? only eat the middles of your Pop-Tarts? pull their lower lip down with your thumb and forefinger? ask the homeless guy “Why?” tell people […]
