Another phrase that would make me rich if I had a dollar for every time I heard it. The simple label is “lazy bastard’ and very often it is correct. If that satisfies you, then I hope you have a nice day and come back to read something else in the future. If you prefer…

I find it astounding that anyone would take up smoking in this day and age. Based on the price alone it’s a foolish move. To pay extortionate prices for the privilege to inhale toxic smoke into your lungs for no clear benefit other than looking cool/grown-up/tough etc. is even stupider than paying ludicrous amounts for…

It was a nerve-racking experience taking that cassette out of its case and slipping it into the tape deck. “You guys are gunna love this!” you would assert with a nervous smile. As soon as you pressed play your musical taste was on trial. That first song could make or break your reputation. The mob…
