Day 8: A moment I felt most satisfied with my...
I’m skipping Day 7 in the Tumblr Challenge for two reasons. First, it’s really dumb, and I don’t believe in horoscopes. Second, I’m already falling days behind. Sue me, motherfuckers.
Anyway, I’m supposed to describe here a moment when I felt most satisfied with my life. The thing is, though, I’m tirelessly perfectionist and overachieving, so it’s really...

Day 6: Write 30 Interesting Facts About...
1. I’m not even sure any of these are interesting.
2. I’ve got 2.75 degrees. A BFA in Communicating Arts, a BA in Studio Art, and almost a BA in legal studies. I use them all in my job, but the job doesn’t come close to paying for the cost of the education I received.
3. I’d like to get my MFA or doctorate in color theory or something so I can teach college-level art, but...
Brian Wilson wasn’t incorrect when he called...

Day Five: Discuss a time you've thought about...
Whoa. So we’re gonna go there, eh? Well, folks, I’m not entirely comfortable with this topic because of the panic it causes, but I’m agreeing to play along as nicely as I can.
I’ve talked about it before here, but I’ll mention it again. I’ve got a disease that will kill me eventually. First, though, it will do one of two things: take over all the connective...

Stephen Colbert’s awesome segment last night offering words of support for a Sarah Palin-fatigued Morning Joe co-anchor, Mika Brzezinski.
Mika is America’s new hero.
Yep, this was, indeed, pretty friggin’ stellar.

So, this probably shouldn't happen, right?
Sitting in my office a few minutes ago, talking to my boss, when suddenly, and for a brief second, I could no longer see him. I could hear him fine, but I could only see stars. And I got a weird out-of-this-world dizzy sensation that passed as quickly as it came.
Here’s hoping that wasn’t a prelude to a fatal event, man.

Day Four: Views on Religion
Good lord, here we go…
I hate religion. I have a hard time seeing any one religion as any better than a cult. I understand that its purpose is to help humanity make sense of things they do not understand, but I have a difficult time justifying shit just because humanity is, in general, pretty fucking stupid.
I know, I can’t say something like “I hate religion” without...

Day three: Thoughts on drugs and alcohol...
Honestly? Who cares. That’s how I feel about drugs and alcohol. You do what you want to do to your body, and I will do what I want to do to mine. That being said, though, getting in a car after more than a drink or two is stupid, and it’s not cool to drive even with a buzz on. In fact, it’s fucking dangerous, and I know first hand that folks can die that way. But other than that, I believe that...

Day two: Where would you like to be in ten years?
Where I’d like to be in ten years…
When I was in high school, this was a question I could easily answer. Back then, I’d have said I wanted to be in Minneapolis, or Chicago, or San Fransisco, either doing art or practicing medicine. When I was in college, the answer would’ve been even easier. I’d have said I wanted to be married with no kids and making theater in Chicago.
Now, though, I really...

Humanity has a way of redeeming itself right when I think it’s irredeemable.
