Games have an effect on everyone, be it leading you to have an obsession with blocks because of a world famous indie-game. Or you crawl on your hands and knees avoiding your boss, preparing to rid the earth of Metal Gear. Games have affected me, they’ve shaped me to be a socially unacceptable individual with little to no prospects in life.

That President Obama ROCKS! I know, right? I mean, we need to re-elect that dude right away, if for no other reason than his awesome health care reforms… he’s a man with a plan for our country. An end-of-life plan….

Now I want to get something straight here and now before I continue…I have nothing against the French; I chose to live here after all. I have nothing against the language (apart from my lack of capability to comprehend it) or the lovely people. I do, however, have some problems with a few irregularities of the French system or the way they go about things and would like to go into more detail. However, as this is an article and not a large book, I won’t. Instead my intention here is to point out, in a light-hearted manner of course, some rather mystifying observations that have come to my attention since crossing the English Channel in a southerly direction some years ago.

If you have ever thought of yourself as a funny person and think you have what it takes to make it to the top, then you may want to try out being a professional comedian. There are many directions an individual can take their career as a comedian and not all directions are good.

Our middle-class neighborhood borders on the green belt surrounding White Rock Lake. The houses, mostly constructed of brick with wooden shake roofs, are surrounded by trees of every type – pecan, oak, maple – and regularly attract denizens of the forest to gardens, backyards and alleys. Armadillos, rabbits, possums and raccoons are frequent visitors; now and then we see a coyote or two patrolling their territory, hoping to catch a stray cat or small dog for a meal.

Since I was twelve years old, all I ever wanted to do was go see live music. I’d legitimately lay in bed at night and worry that- without a license, money and friends that liked the same music as me- I’d never be able to see any of the bands I loved, and would lead a miserable unfulfilled life. Well, that didn’t happen, and in the last 12 years I’ve gone to more concerts than I can even remember. And since my move to New York City over a year ago, my average is at an all-time high. With hundreds of shows under my 24-year-old belt, I’ve seen a lot of good and I’ve seen a lot of bad. Read on to find out how you can avoid falling into the latter category…

“Your pet carrot will live,” the doctor said, “but it’s going to be a vegetable for the rest of its life.” Maybe you’ve heard that old joke, and you’ve probably heard the old expression “You are what you eat.” Synthesize these two, and add the recent brainless activity of a guv’mint school lunch inspector, and you see how serious our dear leaders are about eating vegetables….

Cardboard cutouts of celebrities, action figures and television and movie characters have been available for about 25 years. Visit any party store and you’ll find Captain Jack Sparrow or Superman standing next to a display of party favors. Most of these cutouts have been sitting around the store for quite some time and they’re all covered with dust, because the trendiest parties these days are featuring custom cardboard cutouts.

Bros before Hoes is the basis of Bro Code, the ultimate in man law, where the others are garnered. Regardless of the cutesy rhyme scheme, there is a valid system of ethics that guides a man on his journey for personal development.

Most people assume that being prepared for a zombie apocalypse is a waste of time. But, if you’ve been keeping track of the constant hype involving biological warfare; then you’ve realized that it is very possible to be hunting human brains and relatively soon.
