Dealing with the modified – 2nd in a series

justin Body Modification, Ravings, Stupidity 3 Comments

I’m hoping my first little discussion helped you, my casual plainskinâ„¢ reader. For you, the modified reader, I hope these little missives provide a little bit of gentle agreeable head-nodding and perhaps even a few whispered “you tell ’em, brother’s.” Like I said, these tiny bits of cultural gold aren’t in any particular order.  Like most revelations, these just come to …

You always knew Velma was the badass of the group

It’s undeniable. Any Scooby-head worth their salt always knew to look out for Velma. Now, Travis Pitts (who does some freakin’ amazing designs) and Threadless put out what could be one of the best Scooby-related articles of clothing yet. This Velma could probably even give Buffy, Wichita and even Eden Sinclair a run for their money. This shirt deserves to be …

Things pop into my head. I know that happens to just about everyone, but I tend to vocalize the odd things that pop into my head. It is both an endearing and annoying quality about me.

First …

OK, so maybe I have a problem

When I was around twelve years old, my friends and I would hop on our bikes (a remarkably heavy yellow Schwinn hand-me-down in my case) and ride down to the grungy old used book/comic book store that was a tiny gas station in a previous life. Thanks to a massive loss of brain cells in the past 20+ years, I cannot, …

I often threaten to go into longer-form writings than my usual foray into Twitter and the reviews I write on Yelp. I’ve played with mp3 blogs and a mess of other custom solutions that really did nothing for me other than piss me off enough to stop writing. We’ll see how long this amuses me.
