What Happens When You Punch Someone in the Head

What Happens When You Punch Someone in the Head

One day long ago I scrawled “Belsen Was a Gas” on a t-shirt and wore it to school. My social studies teacher flipped right the fuck out. “Why are you celebrating the murder of six million Jews?” He demanded. “I’m not celebrating it,” I stammered. “I…I…I’m protesting it!” Even I knew this was weak.

That’s all I had to say. “He would’ve voted for Trump, given … [Read more...]

I was just at a meditation retreat down there and at one session the teacher was hitting little bells and mystic chimes when “Biff! Bang! Pow!” all these fuckin’ shotguns went off just across the road. And you knew some big red-faced bastard had just … [Read more...]

How to Feel Better About Everything You Do

  If you’re ever playing baseball against my team you should try to hit the ball in my direction because I probably won’t catch it and If I do catch it I probably won’t be able to throw it very far or In the right direction This is because when I was a kid nobody taught me how to throw a ball. Or catch a ball. Or dribble a ball, or stop a ball … [Read more...]
