The lazy fuck-up's diet

The four step diet. I haphazardly created a crash course diet around August and I’ve lost at least 10-15 pounds of fat. The first step of the diet is to get a DUI. LOSE Your FUCKING LICENSE This step generally involves already being a fuck up. Why a DUI? You run out of money. Fast food is no longer an option Beer run? Haha, nah… can’t… Next step: Buy a lot of...

Protect what you love

It seems so simple: if you love something then why not protect it? All to often we find ourself advocates for an idea, a lifestyle or cause without the motivation to protect it. Maybe we just enjoy it. Maybe we take parts of life for granted and forget how easy it is to loose it. How can a person pride themselves on being thoughtful if they refuse to listen to others? How can a person love...

A brief-biography I wrote on Phillis Wheatley

The Heart and Soul of Slavery in the Northern States during Colonial America a biographical sketch of poet Phillis Wheatley Phillis Wheatley (1753- December 5, 1784) was sold into slavery and transported from presumably West-Africa by the time she was only a seven year old girl.

My best friend is a prostitute and a sex addict

Okay, so maybe she’s does not receive cash-money from all the guys she has fucked over the last year, but they do offer her some sort of compensation in the form of having something to talk about. The context: In the interest of time I’ll start by saying that I like this girl and have liked her ever since I met her. Typical story, boy likes girl, girl dates everyone else besides the...

If you're in the Friendzone then you're the bitch....

I’m tired of hearing grown ass men complaining about how ladies who never loved them managed to break they’re heart. By my own count I have been friendzoned several times over the last twenty two years and each time it was my fault. Every girl who has ever friendzoned me has had a few things in common with one another. -They were hot as hell Read: out-of-my-league, I suppose the only...

The shitty part of self improvement that no one...

This is just an outline of some of the things I’ve experience during my pursuit of a better life. Meeting anyone new: They have no idea who I am and generally assume that I’ve always been ‘this’ way… What I’m saying is that I’m constantly having to lie about my past. If people knew how many drugs I’ve done (been clean for like six months) or the...

I broke your boyfriend's nose, sorry.

While leaving the bar last night, I got in my first fist fight since I was in highschool. This is how it happened: At the bar, there was this really good looking drunk girl who was dancing like a slut. She ended up slapping someone she was arguing which ended in her getting thrown out. It was hilarious. As my friends and I were walking back home, we see the SAME girl. One of my friends said...

The Times they are a Changin'

-My thoughts on criticism. There are certain qualities which can make a person special and worth getting to know. If someone understands and respects what it takes to make a person ‘great’ then, naturally, they must be able to achieve the same greatness. Simply put, why else would a person take the time to understand something? So, I did some self-reflection and decided that I suck...

Grade 15

so, anyone who has taken a decent history course knows that you have to: a. read a lot. b. write a lot. So you sit there and analyze the shit out of the different relationships between countries, armies, kings, government and the people. Eventually you get to the point where if someone says a date and a place then you instinctively know how the people felt and what the popular opinions were....
