Year: 2012

My Finest Moment of 2012

Posted on December 30, 2012October 12, 2022 by KZ

Just in case you needed a reminder: I’m kind of a sarcastic bastard. So long, 2012. It’s been real.

KZ’s Very Un-Merry List of Christmas Music Complaints

Posted on December 17, 2012October 12, 2022 by KZ

I’d like to think of myself as a happy guy, but I do have to admit that I can occasionally be something of a Grinch. I did once say in a previous blog entry, “Santa Claus can go F himself in the A“. He still can, by the way. So maybe I am a Grinch. But you ought to know that this Grinch’s small heart has grown three sizes after hearing a chorus of earnest Whos singing in unison to welcome the Holiday season. That’s right, kids, it’s Christmas time.

When KZ Proposed to Diana

Posted on November 12, 2012October 12, 2022 by KZ

For those of you who haven’t yet heard, Diana and I got engaged back in September. People have been asking me to tell them the story about how I popped the question, but there’s really not much to tell. It was a simple proposal. I took Diana to the local pub, pulled out my bat’leth,…

…It Figures, Not Much

Posted on August 2, 2012October 12, 2022 by KZ

“How’s work?” “What do you do for a living?” Those are the two most common questions I hear in social settings whenever people want to engage me in conversation. I guess that’s the only thing left for adults to talk about once the idealism of youth fades away, and all traces of hopes and dreams…

More Fun with the Mirror Universe

Posted on July 4, 2012October 12, 2022 by KZ

In my previous post, I introduced you to Mono and Mad Die, my cats’ evil dopplegangers in the Mirror Universe. Much to the chagrin of my typo-inclined girlfriend, Diana, the saga continues.

Diana Loves Me in the Mirror Universe

Posted on June 21, 2012October 12, 2022 by KZ

On Wednesday afternoon, while I was busy at work, Diana sent me a text message in order to update me on the status of our cats, Momo and Maddie. Words were said, typos resulted, one thing led to another, and by Wednesday evening, Diana learned a valuable lesson about the need to proofread her SMS messages before sending them my way.

To Gain and Lose

Posted on June 3, 2012February 23, 2022 by KZ

Life is a seamless collection of hellos and goodbyes. They stitch together the totality of our days, and they have a way of tearing us apart until nothing remains but memories, and the hollow sting of lingering regret. The start of each new day brings the promise of a thousand hellos — thousands of first…

At the Risk of Drawing Attention to Myself…

Posted on May 7, 2012October 12, 2022 by KZ

Call me a killjoy and a grump if you must, but my mind is made up. Birthdays are overrated. That’s not to say that I get down on anybody who actually enjoys celebrating their own birthday. Hell, everybody deserves a chance to celebrate themselves on occasion. Speaking for myself, though, I would be perfectly content…

The Answer (Conversation with God Continued)

Posted on April 20, 2012October 12, 2022 by KZ

KEVIN: God?
GOD: Yes?
KEVIN: What is the meaning of life? I want to know the truth. Please don’t feed me some horseshit answer that will only reinforce my resentment and my disdain. What the hell is the point?

Weapons of Jazz Destruction

Posted on March 20, 2012March 20, 2023 by KZ

As you might have guessed from my previous posts, I live in a neighborhood full of douchebags and assholes. Unfortunately for them, I am well versed in the ways of the asshole. Okay, that sentence came out kind of wrong. Let me try again. Unfortunately for the assholes in my neighborhood, I am well versed…
