On Guilt and Innocence


  • What in the fuck am I doing here? What kind of sick and twisted life did I fall into that would cause me to spend some of the best hours of my life in a cryptlike room full of cameras, hot lights and fearful politicians debating the guilt or innocence of Richard Milhous Nixon?"

    - Hunter S. Thompson, "The Great Shark Hunt"

    Here you will find a sometime humorous or pensive recounting of my daily life as well as occasionally my thoughts on current events, and whatever I'm reading, watching, or listening to lately. The title, if you haven't figured out, comes from the Hunter S. Thompson quote above and is something you may find me saying if I ever actually end up as a political journalist.

It's becoming clear that I may have a problem. Yes, my friends I am addicted to Chuck Taylors. And after I told myself I was going to stop buying them when Nike bought out converse! But so many styles...

Summertime Diversions (Installation #1)

I don't know about the rest of you, but I get very bored quite often throughout the summer. Often when this boredom occurs I find myself in front of my computer, looking for some sort of amusing distraction. So far I've found two and I'm willing to share:

For those of you who feel that your brain is turning to mush without the wonderful twice-weekly stimulation of J-1100, here's a quirky, logic puzzle that I don't really feel like figuring out right now, but might later.
