Part two of my loosely organized and ongoing look at Batman’s villains:
Without a doubt Batman has the best villains of any superhero. Who else even comes close? Spider-Man might come second but it’s still not close. And everyone else is a bunch of scrubs. It’s Batman, hands down. In the course of this research, I started to discern some interesting patterns and themes in the set of Batman villains. READ MORE »
Today is rather deep in the cradle of whatever starting point that rose two thousand twelve years ago. This is not a questionnaire but more like a seed of contemplation. What have we achieved? How do we participate in Life? How aware are we of what might be hanging off the tip of the Cosmic Tongue? However, I am not implying that everything we breathe, see, think, and do are vile or just plain awful. We are in a checkered mentality and that means we are constantly playing a mental hopscotch. There are deep divisions especially from ourselves. Ourselves, I say, in the sense of the place within we should know better than anything we “see”: the core of our being. It resides in all of us. The Silent Voice. READ MORE »
Howdy Customers, welcome to the fortieth checkout lane of HACK. If you’ve made it this far, may I see some ID for that item?
If you live in South Jersey (or certain parts of Eastern PA) then you’re familiar with Wawa, the “local” chain of convenience stores that have been in the area at least as long as I’ve been alive–a long ass time. Wawa is the name of the Canadian goose. I have no idea how the Canadian goose is different from any other goose. I will, of course, look all this up when I’m done with the ol’ rough draft here. (Note: include previous sentence in final draft.)
If you live in North Jersey then you’re familiar with Quick Chek, the “convenience” store chain found in nearly every locality across the NYC metro area. Yes, they actually remove the ‘c’ from ‘check. Why? I have no idea. Why do they need to differentiate themselves with the word Chek? What then does Chek even mean? Does it just mean ‘Check’ without the ‘c.’? But again, why? What’s the punchline? I DON’T GET IT.
Everyone claims to be a procrastinator. I am not an exclusion. Nowhere near it. I always ALWAYS get immensely stressed when I notice I’m not constantly working hard on something. I hold extraordinarily high standards for myself. I rarely, if ever, meet them. This usually causes me to spiral into a self loathing pit. Without the help and support of the lovely Noel Rogers, I would not be able to come out of that too quickly. Thank you for all the things you do for me.
I have been particularly anxious lately because classes are coming to an end and today I had to have surgery. I won’t discuss the surgery today. The classes, however, will be discussed. Hooray! You all care so much don’t you! READ MORE »
I don’t think it’s a big secret that I love Batman. True story: between the ages of say 15 and say 25, Batman was a recurring character in my dreams. To say I have something of an obsession with Batman is an understatement. And yet, almost fantastically, I have never really written about Batman. Ever. And I think that I would like that to change. So this week, Ten Batman Villains I Would Like To See More Of: READ MORE »
“So strange, so strange, how something so unnatural has become our norm.” she mutters to herself in her head as she sits behind the wheel in bumper-to-bumper traffic on route 95. Other thoughts more worthy wash away like a good wave ashore as she preoccupies herself about remembering trivial things like where the dress was and why her memory stick keeps on running from her. She is interrupted by how half and half makes sense. It balances our coffee out like, in life, we need half of real-to-the-touch subjects and half strictly non-material functions to remain in balance. However, the 9-to-5 function is clearly not working, hence, the mentioned traffic. It does not evoke fluidity. It deserts what she and her fellow earthlings must take care of including their bodies. It makes things harder to keep balanced and, most of all, authentic. The funny thing is that she is not doing anything from 9-to-5. The imposed norm is just heavy in the air and she lives right off route 95. This slight parallelism lies in the cradle of ironies on a thin, filmy layer of existence, perhaps. READ MORE »
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 simultaneously depending upon the conscious observer? Do my rhetorical questions have answers? Or are the answers simply more questions? I could do this all night folks, or I could not. Let’s pick the latter and move on. READ MORE »
Nothing is a piece of cake, except a piece of cake.
You may not want to admit it, but everything is difficult. Everything requires a series of actions to occur. READ MORE »
