    Everybody Watch! // BlimeyCow

    Friday, May 17, 2013

    Josh Taylor is 24 years old. He’s married. He works with his dad creating patent drawings. He lives in Hermitage, Tennessee, a Nashville suburb where was raised and homeschooled with his brother, Jordan. Then, a few years ago, things got weird. I’m past the point where I’m stressed about it; I’m just kind of enjoying [...]

    Recap: Bobette Buster at Q Los Angeles 2013

    Monday, May 13, 2013

    The gold that everyone in Hollywood was looking to find was story. The way that you arrive in New York City expecting to be mugged, or in Bogota expecting to be kidnapped and held for ransom, I arrive in Los Angeles fully prepared to feel inferior.

    5…No, 6 (Possible) Reasons Why You (and I) Avoid What We Love

    Friday, May 3, 2013

    I’m sleeping in the very most comfortable bed, these days. But even 2000-thread count sheets and a down mattress can’t save me from blinking awake at 6am, the frontal lobe of my brain itching with congested creativity. “Hey! You could write about this! And then after that, say this…that’s clever, right? And then wind it [...]

Recap: Jason Russell at Q Los Angeles 2013

I am alive. I am clothed. I am still a little crazy. You guys remember Jason Russell, right? It’s forgiveable, if you don’t. The dude kind of submerged from view after the WTF-worthy anticlimax following the viral fame of his KONY 2012 video.

If there’s one thing I love…which is a stupid way to lead off, because there are many things I love…but anyway, one thing I love is chain of acquaintance. You know–there’s this girl I know, who knows this guy, who knows this other guy, whom I just met on the bus today and ended up [...]

Rap Music’s Top Contributions to the English Language

Now, I love rap music. I mean, I really love it. Part of me feels that as a husband and father approaching 30, I ought to “grow up” and change my taste in music. I listen to lots of other stuff as well, country, rock and crazy ’70s dance music are all on my ipod [...]
