Urge to Kill Fading

Posted on July 29, 2002February 23, 2022 by KZ

Ick, I’ve noticed that most of my recent entries have been filled with complaints. Tara’s right. I’m becoming a bitter old man long before my time has even come. Ah well, things happen. I bet August will be a super month. By September 1st, I’ll be the happiest person alive. Sometimes it’s good to set…

And He Can Go Eat Something Else, Too

Posted on July 26, 2002February 23, 2022 by KZ

Some guy is filing a class action lawsuit against four major fast food chains over his obesity. Whatever happened to common sense and personal responsibility? This guy claims he somehow “didn’t know” how bad fried food was for him until 1999. Our country is either full of whiners or it’s full of idiots. In either…

You Can’t Live With Them, and Yet They’re Everywhere

Posted on July 24, 2002February 23, 2022 by KZ

I can never tell when I’m on a date until it’s too late. Good God, am I really that oblivious, or are females just that confusing? It’s a bit of both, isn’t it? It seems like the only girls worth having are the ones that I can’t have. Maybe it’s just my finicky, discriminating taste…

Signal, Bitch!

Posted on July 12, 2002February 23, 2022 by KZ

I’ve nearly been hit by negligent drivers twice within the past three days. I can assure you neither incident was solely my fault since I wasn’t the one violating traffic laws. The US is full of idiots, and the DMV gives every one of them a driver’s license. Sadly, I think I’m one of them.

All the World is Draped in Precious Hues

Posted on July 6, 2002February 23, 2022 by KZ

As most of you probably know, I’m home from Europe. Times were good, some times were great, and some times were less than mediocre. Typical traveling experience, no? Europe has inspired me. I feel like picking up a bunch of foreign language books and start learning Italian, French, and German. I need history books and…

If people bring so much courage to this world the world has to kill them to break them, so of course it kills them. The world breaks every one and afterward many are strong at the broken places. But those that will not break it kills. It kills the very good and the very gentle and the very brave impartially. If you are none of these you can be sure it will kill you too but there will be no special hurry.~Ernest HemingwaySource: A Farewell to Arms
