. . . But what if it isn’t?

Tonight’s regrets brought to you by the amygdala, the hippocampus, the cerebellum, and the prefrontal cortex. I’ve done stupid shit. We all have. Alcohol abuse runs in the family. My grandmother (on my dad’s side), my father. Me. I was in the last year of high school. Nineteen years old. And despite my best efforts,…

You know Judas was in on it. Even if he denied it 3 times. And hey, he got paid in silver. Can you tell I have issues with religion?

I’m on my fourth cup of coffee in as many hours. That’s how you can tell if I’m busy. Like counting rings on a tree to gauge its age, look to the amount of caffeine I’ve consumed to see how busy (or not) I am. When I’m engaged with work, I’ll have two cups. When…

When I hear that in my head, it sounds like John Oliver. Which makes me wonder if that’s where I got it from. Most people would choose Morgan Freeman or Samuel L. Jackson narrating their lives. I got John fucking Oliver. Let that sink in. Better yet. Don’t. I’m writing. At least there’s that. Not…

Yeah, I was right. I’ve never done cocaine. Go with me here. I have horrible sinuses. I can’t sleep at night unless I use a prescription-strength nasal spray before bed. And sometimes, like thirty minutes ago (I struggled whether or not to say ’30 minutes’) my nose’ll stuff up so bad I can’t breathe without…

Instacart has M&M Meat Shops on their website. This is a game-changer. Meat. People, I cannot emphasize this enough. Shepherd’s Pie. Meatloaf. Cheesy stuffed potatoes. And I’d only have to heat it up. I live with vegetarians. My meat shelf is barely high enough to hold my margarine tub. No offence to my wife and…
