Stereotyping – I’m a Work in Progress

I was stopped at a red light on my way home the other day when I was passed by a luxury vehicle going the opposite way. The vehicle was being driven by a thin, middle-aged white man with perfectly coiffed brown hair and he was wearing shades that looked to cost more than my entire …

You’ve Been Virtually Bitch-Slapped

[Editor's Note: The Virtual Bitch-Slap is something which was concocted by Samara and I. We created the Virtual Bitch-Slap because some people are just too far away to justify the travel expenses that would be incurred simply to slap the shit out of someone. This idea is meant to be a playful tool used amongst …

I’m Not Human

I decided a long time ago to no longer watch the news or peruse news sites. I could no longer tolerate the avalanche of bad news I would digest on a daily basis. War. Murder. Rape. Inequality. Hatred. I couldn't take it any more and had no desire for their constant reminders. Sadly, actively avoiding …

Rant: Littering

During my commute to work this morning, I passed through a mowing zone. Workers were out and about this crisp autumn morn, bundled up in warm apparel and wearing their mandatory blaze-orange vests so they wouldn't be hit by some unsuspecting motorist. The scene I passed through befuddled me. We had our first frost last …

The correct response is, “You’re welcome…”

STREAM OF CONCIOUSNESS

[Editor's Note: Please welcome my beautiful friend HastyWords. Hasty, as you know from our poetic duets, is quite a talented poet. She makes me look much more talented than I actually am.  Hasty needs to let a few things out and has sought refuge here where words like shit, fuck, damn, and cock are not …

I didn’t order this…

Well, it appears I've got my opinions back because this is the second time this week I've posted on some newsworthy (ha! right) story in the, uh, news, and made my opinions known on it.  Get ready, we're about to take a ride on the Failboat.  Sails away! Let's say you're a father (Oh! Oh! …

Kraft, One Million Moms Engaged in Meaningless Online Feud

Well, here's a full house of stupidity.  Kraft recently launched an ad campaign for its Zesty Italian salad dressing with a bare-chested, hot Italian dude endorsing the product.  In one particular ad, the dude is laying naked on a picnic blanket with a corner of the blanket pulled over his, um, junk (modesty people!) and …

Blunt Life Coach™ Speaks: 6/14/2013

Things have been depressing around here of late.  Things have been depressing in real life, too.  So I figured...fuck that noise.  It's time for some BLC™.  I need a little aggression.  I need to cut loose.  So this time, despite the fact that he's a fucking jackass, I'm proud to hand my blog over to... …

Enough is Enough, Facebook

There has been some unrest in the Facebook kingdom of late, and rightfully so.  It seems that Facebook selectively enforces their hate speech guidelines.  While ads supporting breast cancer are denied because they show a breast, images of a woman with tape over her mouth that say "don't tap it and wrap it, tape her …
