I Haven’t Washed My Hair in Seven Days

Can't seem to do much about my pale skin, though.

No, I’m not turning into a filthy hipster. There is no facial hair growth on my chin. I haven’t begun experimenting with the vegan lifestyle.

You ever notice how guys that are vegan are total weirdos? You can be a chick and be all the vegetarian you want, but a guy who only eats wheat grass is a bonafide freak. Why is that? READ MORE

I Wrote What YOU Told Me – Part VII

Oh, they did it behind the neck! Now I'm not as impressed. Yawn...

Once in awhile I’m at a loss of what to write. So, I ping you lords and lasses. Here are a few that I cherry picked because I had nothing to say about each one. It’s called a challenge, you jerks!

  • I need to learn how to relax. Any suggestions? @verityXR28

Well, aside from drugs, alcohol, and transcendental meditation, you could try juxtaposition. Do something so devastating the body will punish you with relaxation. Be one of those assholes that runs a marathon barefoot. Eat sixty ounces of steak for breakfast. Calculate how much college will cost for your newborn. These will all cause the body to shut down and you’ll get that rest you need. READ MORE

I Wear the Same Shirt on Every First Date

Yes, I know - time to take it to the dry cleaner. It's earned it.

I miss writing.

For the past month I’ve taken time off and haven’t made the blog a priority. It’s a bummer because I miss my regular commenters. I also miss sharing my daily life. Quite frankly, outside of doing a lot of dating, not a whole lot has happened to mention. But not much happened last year and I still managed to write every day without a miss. READ MORE

I Used to Be Number One on Google for “Funny Blogs”

I saw the bonus episode where he made the husband and wife an "adult love dungeon" as his secret project. It had the swing and everything.

Now I’m just #1 on Google for “dick stories.”

My blog certainly isn’t the most hilarious on the web (well, nobody tells a story about seeing my dad’s penis like me), but it’s decently funny. Sure I use too many adverbs, but, you know what? I goddamn well like adverbs. It’s me and since I don’t know how to write with better grammatical sense, I let it slide. A big-deal professor recently told me I write well. So there, inner critic D.J.! READ MORE

I Got Shamed By a Guy Shilling Chocolate

On yesterday’s podcast I dove deep into self-indulgence.

Normally my intros go a few minutes tops. Just for the shit of it I decided to try some longform improv to see if anything interesting came out. The result was thirteen minutes of  nested stories that layered on top of each other. By the end I had closed all the loops, but it didn’t really work. I was trying to be like Marc Maron, but, hey, I’m not. READ MORE
