Hey. If you’re the person responsible for the little string at the top of a bag of charcoal, I hate you and I think you’re the worst person and the next time you brush your teeth I hope all your teeth fall out and also that you’d never stop hearing the cries of the damned when you try to sleep.

Mostly, I write. Sometimes, I make paintings (like these), and sometimes I go fishing. Sleeping and meals also have a place. And that’s kind of it.

There’s a Coke machine that hates me…never takes my money, and when it does, it gives me water when I press Coke, and sometimes it’s just unplugged in my face. I guess it’s nice to know that when my enemies do their worst, I’m a little healthier.

Whenever I go to the pharmacy, there is always somebody in line in front of me who has never been to the pharmacy before, nor taken medicine before, nor used money ever before for anything and I count it all a great pleasure to witness such a mighty and sudden education.

Instead of unnecessary roughness penalties in football, there should be rewards for necessary roughness. Positive reinforcement, little gems or badges.

Sometimes gas station fried chicken is just what the doctor ordered. No. No doctor would ever order that. It’s good for the heart and soul, though. Nope. Not good for the heart. Bad for the heart. Soul too, probably. Well. Shut up.

Once believed I was a Hawaiian shirt guy. I no longer hold this belief and am actively attempting to reconcile my past bad behavior that stemmed from this mistaken belief.

Sometimes the things I find in the woods when I’m fishing embody the spirit of the stuff I write. Like this deer jawbone.

You know how, in football, you can sack the quarterback? I wish it just meant they handed him an old timey burlap sack that says “OATS” or something on it. Like, sorry, pal. You got sacked.
