What We've Got Here Is... Failure to Communicate

digg_url = 'https://kindahectic.blogspot.com/2011/07/what-weve-got-here-is-failure-to.html'; My poor grandmother really has no choice but to believe her first grandson (not oldest, because screw you) is on drugs. Not prescription ones like Oxycontin. Not vaguely legal but not exactly completely legal ones like marijuana. Nope, she has to think I've got a heroin needle sticking out of my arm while doing lines of coke and washing it down with some crack and/or crystal meth. (Too soon for an Amy Winehouse picture? Yeah, probably too soon.) And something something acid and shrooms. For the record,...

Back to My Roots

digg_url = 'https://kindahectic.blogspot.com/2011/07/back-to-my-roots.html'; As most of you know, this blog began with spam. I had some fun messing with a spammer until they gave up on me. Well, I decided to kick it old school with this post. Below you'll find my conversation with one Akmal Wahidah, Esq. Yep, Esquire. So you know it's legit...

An Open Letter to the Connecticut Department of Labor

digg_url = 'https://kindahectic.blogspot.com/2011/07/open-letter-to-connecticut-department.html'; Dear Connecticut Department of Labor, I am writing to inform you that you suck. Wait, wait. It's not that I don't appreciate the money you give me every week. I do. No, really, it's great. Thank you for that. No, what I'm writing to you about is your TeleBenefits line....

May the Fourth be With You!

digg_url = 'https://kindahectic.blogspot.com/2011/07/may-fourth-be-with-you.html'; Happy Independence Day, everybody! Just a random thought: do you think English people are sick of getting their noses rubbed in it every year? "Haha, England. We kicked your ass. Now watch these fireworks and weep into your tea. You know, the tea we didn't throw into the ocean. Bahahahaha." And then the Queen is all "Oh, bugger off already." Being American rule...

The Booking of the Face

digg_url = 'https://kindahectic.blogspot.com/2011/07/booking-of-face.html'; Well, it's finally happened. I done went and got this here blog a Facebook page. I'll use that page as my primary blog-type stuff page. (Links to new posts, changes to the site, free iPhones... the usual.) This way I don't need to use my personal Facebook page as one big marketing machine. No sir, I can get back to posting links to sites people never clicked on anyway (your loss, that stuff is gold) and and making pointless observations now. Sort of like what I do here, but in little fun-size amount...

Once Upon a Time...

digg_url = 'https://kindahectic.blogspot.com/2011/07/once-upon-time.html'; ...I took pictures. Lots of them. Some of them came out pretty well. Those of you from Facebook have probably already seen these, but just use this as a reminder of my awesomeness. Not that you needed reminding. Ok, without further ado, the pictures (after the jump...

Gratuitous Nerdity

digg_url = 'https://kindahectic.blogspot.com/2011/06/gratuitous-nerdity.html'; As you may or may not know, I am a bit of a nerd. I loved math in high school. I thought history would be so awesome if only it came in something other than drab monotone. I have enough useless knowledge in this dome to choke Ken Jennings. (Nerd burn!) I'm pretty sure IMDb, Wikipedia, and TV Tropes are one click away from serving me with an e-restraining order. At times, there have been blackouts: Wikipedia > Symbolism in The Matrix > Deus Ex Machina > *three hours* > Duct Tape. It just happens. Generally...

Clover

digg_url = 'https://kindahectic.blogspot.com/2011/06/clover.html'; When we moved into this house, one of the previous tenants left behind a female cat named Clover. She had recently had a litter of kittens (as opposed to sea horses), and the last of the litter was given to a good home a few weeks after we arrived. Clover was very skittish around everyone and refused to be held. Almost immediately, however, she became very attached to our cat, a young male named Gizmo...

Origins

digg_url = 'https://kindahectic.blogspot.com/2011/06/origins.html'; In the past year or so, I've been guided to the works of Danny Wallace. For those of you that aren't familiar with his work, the Jim Carrey movie "Yes Man" was loosely based on Wallace's book of the same name. The basic premise of the book concerns the trials and tribulations of Wallace's life when he takes a fellow bus rider's simple imploration to "say yes more." One of the many paths this leads Wallace down is that of a relationship he builds with an anonymous author of an email scam. You've been chosen, yada yada, millions...
