    Dear Diary: Why won't this ska boy notice me? Where is my Nirvana shirt? I have nothing to wear!

    Once upon a time in the '90s, I was not the cool blogger I am now. I was just like any other teenager, barely existing on the Internet (save for being a third, observational party to my best friend's chat-room adventures) and living out my writing dreams as a reporter for my high-school newspaper, T ...

    Update: Arrowwood Elementary parent Rachel Drummond had objections to a play scheduled for her daughter's second-grade class today, due to references to Native Americans as "savages" and a speech that overtly referred to a higher power.

    What week is it? A breakdown of everything you could be celebrating, February 21 - 27

    Psh, George Washington. What a poseur. ​When you were young, they told you that you could be anything when you grew up -- hell, if you worked hard and applied yourself, you could even be president.

    Freaky Friday: "Washington" - Cox Combes

    ​Another Friday, another shot of fucking weird. This one is an old favorite of mine that I stumbled upon while working in the YouTube mines. It's a surreal, absurd look at our nation's greatest founder, George Washington. And while it omits some of the tried and true myths about him -- no cher ... More >>
