Like all good volcano stories, mine starts hanging half out of a jeep getting a video of the eruption smoke bellowing in the air, letting out a series of stoked chants like, “whoohoo” or “let’s goooo!” No, that isn’t right.

January 2, 2026
All my life I loved action movies and I thought it was even a little romantic if you were gagged, tied to a chair and waiting for your beloved to save you from the bad guy, only in real life there is no one to save you, because your beloved put you here. And here

The above picture is a scan of my face. You can sort of make it out when you notice the teeth at the bottom. That black squiggle line in the middle is my nasal passageway. It’s a cavity, meaning it’s empty space. But that passageway is supposed to be straight. My nose is medically “severely

Say what you want about Jet fans, but they know how to party. Some may even think they’re obnoxious in their delusional beer soaked hope, but even though I am not even a Jets fan, I appreciate fandom and I can applaud and even antagonize tribalism in sports, where I boo it in politics. It

Guts All Over The Pavement
November 25, 2025
The dead don’t last long in the heat. A squirrel, freshly killed by a vehicle, is like McDonald’s for the hovering scavenger birds. They arrive so quickly, it’s almost as if they too have smart phones, binging them with notifications when there’s a meal nearby that you don’t have to work for. They swoop in,

My grandparents on the Palminteri side lived in the same town as us in the very same house my Dad grew up in with his five siblings. It was a modest, if not small, ranch. Our house wasn’t a big house by anyone’s measure, but it was certainly bigger than the OG Palminteri house, where,
