Welcome to Misanthropology!

This is a not a blog; a blog is a place where people come to dump the mundane details of their life to give some semblance of meaning in that it is being recorded in the annals of the World Wide Web. Not me. This is a forum, offered to you by me, where you may pick apart my ideas, hypotheses, and general ramblings about the failings and wretchedness of the human race. Feel free to agree, counter, rebut, or flat-out insult me, but know that I treat others as they treat me. General topics include: culture, science, religion, guns, law, and language. Oh, and stupid people that I meet.

Whiskey Break

I've been hard at work all day, trying to reorganize my room. I've made some substantial progress, so I've decided to reward myself with a few shots of American Honey and the chance to clear some of the thoughts out of my head.

- I don't think my parents and I will ever get along. I don't think that this is such a bad thing.

- I've been playing fewer and fewer video games lately, which seriously calls into question what it is I've been doing all these years amassing a giant collection of them.

- Honey + whiskey + apple chips= pickle-flavored belches. Not sure how this happened.

- I am so very much looking forward to moving out. My parents get on me every time I talk about it, reminding me at length that I "will never have it any easier than this." Maybe that's one of the reasons I want to move out. Nobody can excel without duress.

- I don't widely broadcast the existence of this publication. I feel as though doing so would take it from being a dump for my idiosyncrasies to a long, multi-part message. That's not what I do.

- I recently cut my hair. Not severely, and by myself, of course. I can't understand why someone would pay enough for a decent lunch to have somebody cut the protein strands off their head. Best multi-function barber's too ever: straight razor. I like the new look, but it is taking some getting used to.

- My dad just offered me a substantial sum to teach my brother how to drive. It seems diplomatic relations have not totally broken down.

- When I move into my new room/apartment, the first thing I'm getting is thick black curtains for the windows. I can't stand excessive sunlight.

- My plans for a meta-fictional story I'm writing have taken some very disturbing turns as of late. I'm not kind at all to my characters, even if my character happens to be me.


Okay, I think I've thrown enough nonsense on the page to constitute an "update." Now back to my room, assuming I don't get distracted by my story...again.
