I’ve probably mentioned it before, but a large part of the English-speaking Western world actually believes that Americans don’t speak English. So, what exactly do we Americans speak? American!
Look, I’ll give it to the Brits that perhaps their English is the more proper and correct version. They did, after all, father the language. We Americans then took it and… Read more

Shoe Shortage in Australia
Thousands of Australians are going without proper footwear all across the country.
From a random sampling, an estimated 10% of the population performs daily activities, such as grocery shopping or walking to work, without any form of shoe on whatsoever.

To My Family, With Love… But Mostly Frustration
Clearly, I do my best writing when I’m emotionally unstable. Anything that comes out of these fingers when I’m feeling completely angered, amazed, saddened, annoyed or joyous… Read more to an unbalanced level just tends to flow without thinking.
Now, I give you frustration.
Yes, family, I’m about to call you out. I apologize in advance, but it just

I love it, I love my naughty little pet.
I’m having elephant weevil withdrawals. Remember how I was saying I should have given him a name and kept him as a pet… Read more, well it turns out that maybe I really should have!

Help! I'm being invaded by alien bugs!
What is this?! Look at it… What the hell is this bug?! And, why the freak is it in my apartment?! Gar.
I hate bugs more than anything. Highest on that list are spiders, and that sometimes reaches a level of irrational fear. But, any buggy type thing will do it to me. I came home from work last night… Read more

The Exotic Foreigner: Shut up, or I will punch you in the face.
Look, I’ve been dealing with some anger issues lately. I’m not sure why, but I just keep wanting to punch people, things, ideas, whatever in the face.

Kyrgyz Drink Video Backlash
I used to make some videos every now and again for my blog, which I’d like to get back into doing, and I generally promote them on vimeo and also upload them to YouTube.

Didn't quite make it to Leichhardt.
I didn’t quite make it to Leichhardt this past weekend, but I’m OK with that. Sure, Leichhardt is known as the Little Italy of New South Wales. Sure, they might have heaps of restaurants with delicious Italian food for all the tourists and locals to delight in. Sure, I didn’t make it to Leichhardt to see what touristy treats were… Read more
