The ‘Rants’ Archive

I’d recently scored a new high paying job so I was in a fairly jovial mood and, of course, a jovial mood = celebratory beers. There was this girl I’d run into in a fairly random situation once before. I’d seen her picture on an online dating site and talked to her a bit.. then, [...]

Father, I have a confession. I quit my job a few months ago and I haven’t had much to do. I ran out of TV shows to watch. I’ve watched every episode of Bottom at least 6 times. On top of that, THREE WHOLE seasons of 24 (man, Season 8 Episode 22 ROCKS!) and even [...]
