Howdy Timewaves, welcome to the sixty-seventh apocryphon of HACK. If you’ve made it this far, will this be as far as we can go?
It’s The Crew has known about the 12/21/12 “prophecies” way back when most of you were still mocking the Y2Kers. In our sphere of influence, we were the only ones talking about the pro [...]

HACK № 67: FUCKEDOCALYPSE!
Howdy Timewaves, welcome to the sixty-seventh apocryphon of HACK. If you’ve made it this far, will this be as far as we can go?

HACK № 55: Apocalypse How?
Apocalypse How?
For those who don’t believe in what can’t happen.
I don’t believe in the apocalypse, any apocalypse. Rather, I don’t believe it’s going to happen the way you or I assume it will happen. It’s kind of hard to even take it seriously when there are so many different [...]
HACK № 49: Freedom Is The Write
Howdy Patriots, welcome to the forty-ninth declaration of HACK. If you’ve made it this far, it takes a strong constitution to swallow the American Dream.
Patriotism Is Lame
Fuck Independence Day. Not the movie Independence Day. That movie’s pretty good, I’m watching it right now. I don’t even mean F [...]
HACK № 48: Topical Depression
“That being said, [Towel Boy] is undoubtedly correct: we’re lucky that we can speculate in a positive direction rather than lament a failed experiment.” –Christopher DeFilippis
Well, here we are. The second half of 2012. I am sitting in a stucco porch. On my left are the glass doors leading to my parent’ [...]
HACK № 42: The Weaning of Life
Howdy Meltedcheesedeks, welcome to the forty-second continuation of HACK. If you’ve made it this far, there’s a silver lining just over that horizon behind you.
OK folks, here’s how this is going to play out. First I write a few self-referential paragraphs to get it out of my system, while simultaneously holding everything [...]
HACK № 39: A Conspiracy of Blessing...
Howdy Mediocritons, welcome to the thirty-ninth extremity of HACK. If you’ve made it this far, I’ll go out on a limb if you promise to catch me when I fall.
Dichotomies: What are we going to do about them? What aren’t we going to do about them? Is one side more real or more preferred than the other? Or do they exist simulta [...]
I Don’t Belong Here: Bullet Poi...
If I should die tomorrow, or for that matter any day after today, or if you’re reading this 100 years from now and so I’m probably dead at this point — regardless, when I am gone, I hope that I am remembered for more than just “HE RUINED MY LIFE” (which I didn’t) or “HE FUCKED MY GIRLFRIEND” (wh [...]
I Don’t Belong Here: How To Kil...
Let’s talk a little about where society seems to be at right now. It’s only 9 months away from 12-21-12… and whatever is supposed to happen, there’s no sign of it coming yet.
Not pictured: A human being
Speaking of nine month periods of time, that reminds me about something I keep wanting to talk about. The whole idea [...]
I Don’t Belong Here: This Is No...
Francis Fukuyama wrote this pretty famous essay in 1989, The End Of History, later expanded into book form in 1992. The fall of the Berlin Wall had just happened, and with it the decades-long Cold War started to finally evaporate like the bad dream it was. Fukuyama argued that this end of the Cold War was not just any other old event in manki [...]
I Don’t Belong Here: Digression...
For the first time ever, here’s all the Digressions! Digressions #1, #2, and #3 were originally published in If You Don’t Give Me Heaven. Digressions #5 and #6 were originally published in Heroes And Hierophants. Digression #3 has never been published anywhere, and Digression #7 is brand spanking new! Whatever THAT means.
Digressi [...]
I Don’t Belong Here: Forever Su...
(Excerpted and edited from private correspondence:)
If you’re hoping to avoid pain and death, you’re on a fool’s errand. Life is pain and it ends in death. Okay, life isn’t JUST pain — but suffering certainly seems to be a key aspect to it. If you try and shelter yourself from it you wind up either completely unp [...]
