Three Creepy Effing Dolls
For as long as I can remember I have been creeped out by the entire concept of dolls coming to life. I refused to watch Child’s Play, disliked ventriloquism and even viewed Jim Henson’s The Christmas Toy with suspicion. Muppets … Continue reading
My Tosh.0 Audtition (2.0)
Due to some technical difficulties on the Tosh.0 blog, people are having trouble seeing my audition. I think it’s because when I log in, it says that the video is still awaiting moderation. In any event, you can find it … Continue reading
Pants on Fire
Well, here we are. The Chief Inquisitor, as I called her in this post, left me a comment. And posted a link to my blog on her blog. Just describing this chain of fuckery makes me want to put my … Continue reading

I was not the popular kid in high school. It shouldn’t be that surprising; I’ve always been on the…let’s call it “unique” side, and teenagers are totally known for embracing and celebrating eccentricities. Wait, no, that’s not right. They tear … Continue reading
Why I Don’t Believe In God, Part 4
Part One, Part Two and Part Three All of my “spiritual journey” to this point was reasonably normal. Various flavors of Christianity, followed by exploration into Wicca and assorted other Earth-based or Eastern-influenced faith paths that were not entertaining or … Continue reading

People often ask about the dead bird on our wall. It’s a little brown sparrow, perched on driftwood, his head cocked. But there’s more in the shadowbox, and that’s when the explanation gets a little…complicated.
How I Met Your Father

Why I Don’t Believe In God, Part 2
In case you missed it, Part One After two years of being told I was going to hell, of defending myself and my lack of blind faith, and the second summer of Jesus-based camp songs, my parents enrolled me in … Continue reading
Reader’s Block
I am very much hoping that, along with the return of my writing skills, I’ll find some reading skills. I haven’t been able to read anything longer than a Cracked article for years now. I’m keeping up on news and … Continue reading
At Least My House Is Clean
