From one end of the United States to the other. It’s one thing to take a trip and know you’re going home later; it’s another thing to make that trip knowing you’re not going back. Home wasn’t where I left; it wasn’t where I was going either. In a sense, I was going to find […]

23 – Part 1/1
Of all the years of my 20s, this one I remember the least. There were no mind-altering substances I consumed, or any sort of binging save for what I stuffed my face with. I simply did so little of worth, and had such a crushing sense of helplessness that on a psychological level, I must […]
22 – Part 3/3
Really, this year only needed two parts, but I wanted to go in some depth about how fucking stupid I was to fall into the Trumposphere so completely. For me, it doesn’t matter that I snapped out of it relatively quickly—by mid-2017 in fact. Nor does it matter that I’ve worked to inform anyone who’s […]
22 – Part 2/3
So, my school life was floundering. My personal life? Well, I had zero friends or contacts. When I quit my job I didn’t reach out to any of my former coworkers. In retrospect, I knew I made a mistake, so that was likely a subconscious attempt at punishing myself. ‘You don’t get to talk to […]
22 – Part 1/3
Buckle up fucks, this is where we get real. Witness through text how a young man is able to utterly implode his own life and think that everything’s fine. It’s like the ending of Fight Club except the narrator learned nothing and Tyler Durden won. Here’s the summary. In this fine year of 2016 (and […]
21 – Part 2/2
Outside of academia, there wasn’t much else going on. No real social life to speak of, other than occasional chatting in class or at my job. I did have a lot of fun conversations with a woman who worked there with me. I also had a crush on her big time, and still kick myself […]
21 – Part 1/2
This is where I start shitting the bed. Not literally; ever since the bedbugs I slept on a $150 futon I bought on Amazon (it sucked), or a $50 air mattress from Walmart (it was awesome). I also didn’t shit either of those, so that’s a positive note. I was still in college, the spring […]
The Future
Unless you live under an actual rock, it’s hard to not notice people talking about how everything’s just getting worse. Surprise surprise, this is one of those rants about the future. I also apologize for anyone who’s not living in America, as this is going to be another Loud American rambling about the entire world […]
20 – Part 1/1
Before I get into anything: I might say ‘year’ more than I should. Unless explicitly stated, I’m referring to the 12-month period after I turned a certain age, not January 1st to December 31st. While riding around I had the idea of looking back on my twenties and just, rambling a little bit about them. […]
Obsession
I’m the type of person to really embrace something when I like it. When I discovered that you can make a pretty decent meal out of an over-easy egg, toasted rye and some hot sauce, this was my grocery list: That was for the week. I thought this was such a fantastic personal discovery that […]
