The Cruelty of Fate, and The Kindness of Strangers

When I was 14, my parents were involved in a very, very serious car accident. My Father nearly lost his hand, and because he's a plumber, roofer and gas-fitter by trade, this was bad. But it was my Mother that copped the worst of it. She broke her neck, or, to be more accurate, basically crushed one of the discs in her neck out of existence. She was hospitalized for six months, and was told by the doctors that she was the only person with those injuries they'd seen that could still move her legs. She did, however, suffer a lot of nerve damage, and to this day can barely move because those nerves keep sending pain signals to her brain 24/7, and it's my job (and I do it gladly) to care for her and try and give her at least some quality of life. But a very nice thing happened that helped her a lot, so if you'll follow me after the jump, I'll tell you how the kindness of gamer-strangers helped her a great deal.

My Complicated Relationship With Neon Genesis Evangelion

To say I love Neon Genesis Evangelion (from here on out to be referred to as EVA) is an understatement. It is one of the few things that fundamentally changed my life, in ways I’m still discovering to this day, around 13 years after I originally saw it. However, the only thing I feel as strongly as my love for the show is my hatred for speaking about it.

A Sincere Apology to the Judge I Exposed Myself To

Think Piece

You know what I like to do? I like to sit in a comfortable chair, stare into space, and think. Although maybe 'think' isn't the right term, because I'm not trying to solve anything, or come to a particular conclusion. I like to hold an idea in my head. I take great joy from this; it's when I feel the most calm, and content. To ruminate on an idea or concept or, like now, a theory...

10 Things I've Done That Are Awesome

1. One time I was taking a walk, and a bird attacked me. I grabbed that bird, and made it adopt a homeless kitten. Awesome.
2. In one night I not only slept with six women at one time, but I also convinced them they were in Columbia. Awesome.
3. A man was walking down my street smoking a cigarette, and I looked at that man. Awesome.
4. When I was six I was brushing my teeth and one fell out. I picked up that tooth and punched it back into my face. Awesome.
5. One time I was doing some shopping and I found five bucks. I gave it to a homeless man, but it wasn't really a homeless man, it was Cyndi Lauper, and she gave me a blowjob. Awesome.
6. I picked up my phone a sent a text message. To myself. Awesome.
7. I own a dog so old that it used to fuck dinosaurs, and I can pick up that dog with one hand. Awesome.
8. I was at the hospital visiting a friend. I sneezed, and a dialysis machine grew a pair of kidneys. Awesome.
9. This one time I was sick, and I said 'Man, feeling better would be awesome.' Jesus came down from the Heavens, played 'Master of Puppets' on a guitar that was also the hoverboard from 'Back to the Future II', and we high-fived. Awesome.
10. A version of myself from a parallel dimension came and challenged me to fight. It went for seven years, and in the end we both won. Awesome.
