I’m moving to Seattle with my friend Yoshi. He’s been planning on moving up there for over a year (his girlfriend lives there), but I just decided this week because I realized I’m not going to be able to make…
My friend Alethea and I were trying to come up with things an otherwise attractive person could say or do to completely make them undateable. Let’s watch: Can we wrap this up soon? My mom wants me home by eight.…

(And now back to a series that I stopped writing because my mate Anson would always destroy my ideal society in the comments. As he rarely comments here anymore, I thought it’d be safe for me to go on to…
You know, celebrating Ramadan is a lot easier when you don’t believe in Allah. All that praying and forgiveness would be quite annoying

The struggle itself is enough to fill a man’s heart. One must imagine Sisyphus happy. — Albert Camus, in his 1942 essay of the absurd, The Myth of Sisyphus John Cottingham says that we must act in the [[praxis]] consistent…
I refuse to admit RaJ was right about cross-posting tweets. I’ll figure out how to turn off the silly ‘new blog’ notification soon.
Oh, dear Ramadan started today and I’d already eaten cereal. Oh, well, Allah is a forgiving God (HA!). Thirty days of fasting start… NOW
This is a quick meal for those of you who are in a hurry mornings to get to work. This shouldn’t take more than five minutes to make and promises to be a healthy, filling, nutritious, sexy meal to fill…
I hope I’m not the only person that gets happier when he figures out how to post asides than when a cute girl smiles at him..
I’m going to post an update of what I’m doing… coincidentally, what I’m doing is posting.

“Suddenly, after seeing that movie, rape doesn’t sound funny anymore.” – Pixel’s friend Frank Jagear after watching Mystic River Pulitzer prize-winning columnist Connie Schultz has just released a new memoir: “… and his Lovely Wife: A Memoir from the Woman…
So wait, what’s the appropriate number of updates one can do per day? Is infinity too many? Is negative infinity too few? I’m so confused
Is all a-twitter. I think it’s drugs.

“Originally, when I saw all of the horrible things that the Nazis did to other humans without even thinking twice about it, I thought: how could I get this sort of power?” — Pixel’s friend Frank Jagear on the Milgram…

“Don’t tell me you’re actually going to listen to my advice. I give bad advice on purpose! Listening to my advice is a very bad idea. I’d advise you against that.” – Pixel to friend Moira on advice he’d just…

As some research for a response to a voluntary poll at Radioactive Jam’s site, I inexplicably joined ‘Twitter.’ It’s the 20-minute dating response to Myspace. Or perhaps a better simile would be that it’s like Myspace with ADHD… In any…
I know I’m not Ozzie and Harriet, but do you?
So there I was, complaining about people who keep telling bad jokes or anecdotes then laughing at them. I said that nobody else finds them slightly amusing and that those people should realize how assenine they are when the person…
I’ve been looking through my archives lately (not really, that would require research and I am a lazy, lazy man. So, really, I’ve been imagining what my archives are like lately). It occurred to me that there’s really no rhyme,…
I’m going to participate in Ramadan this year and I can’t tell you why. It’s not because my reason is some secret, it’s because I couldn’t explain it to you if I tried. I’m not muslim, nor do I know…
Hello. It’s me. Now you say it. I have some wisdom to impart unto you and I hope you are less like me than I was when I was you. I hope you decide to listen to me because it’s…
We brought you to this bar to have an intervention. Man, I’m so rich, I use $100 bills for toilet paper. And I use toilet paper for something equally frivolous: like currency. Sorry, I have to go. My pedicurist is…
Richard Dawkins refuses to debate Creationists. He says that the reason for this is advice from Stephen Jay Gould (himself famous for the “Darwin Wars” debates). Gould said that, whatever the outcome, Creationists would win, because the very fact that…
Never do a favor for your friends that requires you to sign anything or use a credit card. In fact, never expose yourself monetarily for anybody if you can help it. (Warning: I just gave you the moral of the…
As you might or might not know, I (the real me, not the me that I make up to seem cool) am applying to graduate school this year. I’m hoping to be Dr. Pixelation Qyw Styx III within five years……
Tek “Danger” McRiggs is a photographer of beautiful women by day, a football legend by midafternoon, a superhero by dusk, a spy-detective-cop by night and a porn star by morning. One day, a team of government-trained ninja pirates shows up…
I like to see people happy. I also like saving money. I don’t readily donate to charity because I’m poor, but every once in a while I like doing something nice for people that could use the money. I usually…
Have you noticed I lost weight? Incorrect answer: No, you still bent the light around you. If you have lost weight (and the gravity hasn’t lessened), then obviously you haven’t lost enough. Correct answer: I noticed you looked slightly more…
Least sensitive things ever said: Ooh, look, they have some early morning fireworks over by the World Trade Center! How was it living on beach-front property for 14 years, Mr. Dantes? Oh, it was terrible! You don’t know what it’s…
I’ve heard it argued in various circles that children are born without a belief in God, which technically makes them atheists. Richard Dawkins argues something of the sort. Others disagree. The Catholic church, for example, registers every baptized child as…
In rereading an essay I wrote several years ago for my paradoxes class, I noticed that I was marked off for assuming that the universe existed. “A universe is a necessary being?!!” My teacher said. Allow me to defend my…
Apparently, it’s hard to classically condition people. For a while now I’ve been trying to condition people to check my blog regularly like malnourished orphans hoping that the lady who runs the bread line will get over her hangover soon.…
Overheard phone conversation: 1: Hello. 1: Hello. 1: This is he. 1: Hello. 1: I think the best bet would be to take care of this tomorrow when everyone’s available. 1: Oh. 1: I’m free at 5. 1: I’ll see…
