1. We Stopped
Bagging our Own Groceries
Perhaps it was different where you came from, but where I grew up, we worked with the cashier. It was our food after all and besides, it saved time for you, the cashier and the poor sap behind you. Now people mindlessly… Read full post »
1. Pearl Jam
Eddie Vedder and Pearl Jam started a movement of self-serious,
white guy rock that has been dismal and morose and needlessly
melodramatic. Because of Pearl Jam, we’ve been forced to
listen to the likes of Creed, Puddle of Mudd, Staind, Three Doors
Down and a slew of other slacken-fa… Read full post »
(I'm just in love with my photo choice. It's so perfectly weird! Special thanks to Joe Shahadi for idea, input and inspiration.)
Here’s the long-awaited (by whom?) and much anticipated (oh really?) list of the most overrated sex acts of all time.… Read full post »
You hear them everyday. And perhaps you utter a few yourself.
But they're annoying and need to be stopped. This is a campaign.
Climb on board or be left to the sharks.
Thanks to the well-paid staff at Silly Lists of
Nothingness… Read full post »
Some think sexiness is in the eye of the beholder. But is it? Here at Silly Lists of Nothingness, we say its an exacting science that can be proved in labs with women in white coats using complex formulas that are beyond you,…
This week's Silly List of Nothingness is composed of people (and some non-people) who look like they're supposed to. They were named correctly. You look at them and say, "Yep, that sounds about right."

“So how’s it feel having sex with a dead man?”
“Good,” I gasp. “Very good.”
We laugh at the gallows’s humor. We can make jokes while having sex. We’re at that point with one another.
Soon the laughing makes way to sighs and moans. A t…
“I didn’t call you a slut. I’m just
saying you might want to…to tone it down a bit," Clint
mumbles into the phone.
He’s referring to my photos on MySpace and Facebook. I take
them myself, of myself. They are only slightly scandalous. A solid
PG-13, in my opinion.

Unfortunately, one often encounters deal breakers on those first dates, making any future seem unlikely.
Take my date last weekend...please. Actually, he was a… Read full post »

Unchecked children drive me nuts. When I have to tell someone's kid
to rein it in, I want to send a bill to the parents for services
rendered. So when I went to the block party at the end of the
street this Labor Day weekend, the last thing I wanted… Read full post »
My
friend Dea says she has an addictive personality and I smile
slightly. Because she doesn’t. Only people with real
addictive personalities know that wild, sick, consumptive burn that
emanates from some fiery pit in your soul and wants to eat your
charred skin for dinner.
Addictions are… Read full post »
Amanda Dreams

Amanda dreams of riding undulating silver worms in the desert. She
is wearing ornate filigree glasses and talks with Egyptian women,
somehow knowing the language. She has
wild orgies with ever-changing partners. She is suddenly a man,
then back to a woman, then a man again. Body parts are made… Read full post »

I’m not sure why you stopped talking to me. It happened
slowly, methodically, like rust. There was no big fall-out, no
noteworthy event. Suddenly, you and I were no longer speaking. The
divide formed.
Women are weird. They’re passivity runs deep. But you and I
are different. We&rsqu… Read full post »
The People Who are Talented but Annoying List
As I watched Law & Order, Criminal Intent, last night, I
thought long and hard about Vincent Donofrio. He's a fine actor.
More than fine - he's a very good actor. But he's a little
annoying, with his over the top mannerisms and twitchy
idiosyncrasies.
I fantasized about directing him… Read full post »
A Semi-Scandalous Day at the Beach (in Pictures, Mostly)
Feeling a little under the weather last Sunday, I decided not to
forgo surfing and shoot some photos of The
Brothers on their long boards instead. I quickly realized that
shooting surfers is not only difficult but slightly boring.
But here are two prerequisite shots of Kurt and Kyle surfing
anyway:

Even though I have a mild crush on the cop up the street, I know it can never be. First off, he reminds me of Father Karras from… Read full post »

Being “set up” with someone has unnerved me since my
dating life began in kindergarten. I’ve never been open to
matchmaking and probably never will. Perhaps it shows a real
closed-mindedness on my behalf. More likely, I just find it
distasteful and patronizing.
Undoubtedly (an… Read full post »

I had just returned from a brief trip back to my hometown to see some old friends. Emotionally fragile, I tried my best to engage in conversation with them and listen to their stories, though my

Whenever someone starts a sentence with “Men
are…” or “Women always…”, I cringe.
Sweeping generalizations about the sexes are silly at this point.
We’re all bleeding into one another, changing, morphing.
Plus, these stereotypes tend to be sexi… Read full post »
Dad:
I haven't spoken with you in so long. Things are such a mess. And I need your help.
I seem to be crying too much, feeling overwhelmed and broken. I don't really think anyone cares about me. Everyone will say they do...but they don't. Not in…
