I killed a man today, he is dead.
He made his bed when he ate the last Klondike bar.
No, this isn’t just a tribute to R&B sensation Usher, these are my confessions.
When the internet called this afternoon, I planned on pressing “ignore”. Like most people, I avoid phone calls from my boss. However, since the internet hit up my personal cell and not my extension at the Elephant on Fire offices, I assumed it was something about Game of Thrones. Since I don’t have any actual friends, I was desperate to discuss (Spoiler Alert!!) the beheading of Ned Stark. It went down something like this:
Me: “Can you believe that shit man?? Last night’s episode was crazy!”
Internet: “What Game of Thrones? I downloaded the bootleg months ago. I am the internet you know.”
Me: “Well fuck you then.”
Internet: “I called to talk business. Listen, it’s been a while since your last post. What gives?”
Me: “I don’t know internet, I guess I need some inspiration. Either that or cocaine…but I haven’t heard from Carlos in a while.”
Internet: “Dude, you killed him after he ate the Klondike bar. That literally happened earlier today. I googled directions to that shallow grave for you.”
Me: “Oh internet, you and your crazy facts…what I am going to do with you?”
Internet: “Well you could start by writing. Try to connect with the reader. Also, you should lay low for a while.”
The internet was right. I needed to lay low. Good thing is, it gave me plenty of time to think. I thought of confessing my crimes to the police, but I would be no good to my loyal reader(s?) if I were locked away. I did think of some other things that I didn’t mind confessing.
Here is a list:
Here is a list:
1. I watch, and enjoy, more than one show on HGTV.
2. I hate Saabs and the assholes that drive them.*
3. It is only necessary for me to shave 2-3 times a week.
4. Even if I didn’t shave, I can’t grow a full beard. I’ve tried.
5. I find Anne Hathaway revolting. Like, physically grotesque.
6. I’ve never eaten a kiwi.
7. I have a recurring dream in which I befriend an ostrich.
8. I have an unreasonable fear of newborn babies.
9. I hate people that write the word “to” when they should really use “too”.
10. I am watching you through your webcam right now.
You looked didn’t you?
11. I am not really watching you through your webcam.
Or am I?
12. No, I am not.
OH GOD!! Gross, right?
