#author, shenaniganizer, martial artist. Generally good guy. Still woke. Still supports DEI. Curses a lot. No longer looks good even in black and white photos.

"I don't know, bud. I guess I'm just worried about any #delivery that comes in the trunk of a car out here in the desert. I mean, I kind of doubt it's a box of socks, you know?"

The chromed-out, spherical package came with a note that read "Special #Delivery: From Mars with love".

All made-up evidence from the government to the contrary, the white trash gestapo executed a woman yesterday.

She was #adorned in splendor and not much else. That's how I knew it was going to be one hell of a night.

"They say you should dress for the job you want. That's why I #adorn myself in the skulls of my enemies. It looks badass and Chet from accounting finally shut up about his spreadsheets not working."

"I'm working on a #symphony to reflect on America for her 250th birthday. So far it's an angry version of 'Yakey Sax' wrapped with each half of the orchestra actively fighting the other half while the conductor laughs his ass off."

"Ugly sombitch, ain't he? All that weird makeup, babbling, and constant tantrums. It's no wonder he's got everyone #spooked. But with people like him, all you gotta do is bop him on the nose with a rolled-up newspaper and he runs away like a frightened chihuahua."

"You guys are too stiff. Spy game, martinis, being all suave and mysterious and shit. I pull off a job, I like to leave a calling card that says, 'Y'all got #spooked'. Let's 'em know the Agency is on to 'em."

"You know who pushes society forward? It ain't the squares, man. It's the weirdos, nutters, and #oddballs. The creatives who tell rules to stuff it. And that ain't you, brother. Go balance a spreadsheet or something. We have real work to do."

"Frankly, it's a tossup between screwball training methods and #oddball training methods. I'm leaning more toward oddball, but I want to get your buy-in before I move forward."

The @democrats.org desperately needs to focus its message this year and go beyond, "We hate Trump". We know. We get it. We hate him, too.
How about focusing on something like, "We support unions and workers' rights" since that's something the GOP is obviously against?

I like to put as many layers of #abstraction between me and reality as possible. It's like being behind a whole mess of proxy servers.
I think that's why I'm a #writer.

"I wonder if what we perceive as 'reality' is an #abstraction that hides the true complexity. Like, you know, it's just a detailed pointillist painting representing reality without being reality."
"Uh. Ok. Do you want fries with that?"
"Since nothing is real, yes please."

"Sometimes you gotta get your #delight in the little things. For instance, if you have a whole mess of mostly empty liquor bottles, pour 'em all together and see what happens. I did it once and wound up talking to a stain on the ceiling for a week."

It's time to bust out the warm tea and Turkish #Delight to welcome 2026 into our lives. Or, if you want a more American version, bust out the beer and fried pork rinds. Really, either one will do.

The worst thing they ever did wasn't crippling you with debt or laughing when you said you wanted equality. It was taking away your #dreams.
