Mouse Trap House

Have you ever thought about how many cartoon mice there are? No, honestly think about it. Children’s cartoons are littered with rodents. There are:         As a kid who grew up in the era of the cartoon mouse, I feel very misled. I thought that when I grew up I would have […]

What a Snowballa’

“In case we have forgotten, because we keep hearing that 2014 has been the warmest year on record, I ask the chair, you know what this is? It’s a snowball. And that’s just from outside here.

The Chase – feat. Turkeys

This is by no means a how-to blog, or a relationship advice blog, or a blog with really any answers at all. It’s more of just random writings (a medley of notions, if you will) from a pretty inexperienced 18 year old. That being said, right now I’d like to delve into a specific human […]

A burning question

As I’m trying to get used to living in Arizona, and I’m exploring the cactus ridden, Kokopelli covered, home of oh so many Scorpions, one question keeps bouncing around my head: How are all of these girls wearing jeans??!

I spent three and a half years in the […]
