Thanks for voting this in as the topic of this installment of True Jest and all that but I’ve got no patience for pleasantries today. Let’s do this. Counsel Bullock rises from the sturdy oak chair, re-positions the documents in front of him to perfect parallel alignment, then unconscionably tosses his ink pen haphazardly upon … Continue reading Review: White Chocolate
Gluttony: A story of wedded bliss and revenge
Y'all petty. Thanks to all who participated in the Instagram poll to choose this topic. I’m delighted that you’re so interested in petty revenge. And now, our feature presentation. We did it! Over one full year into marriage and I feel as lucky as the day my (then) fiance said “yes!” I can still feel … Continue reading Gluttony: A story of wedded bliss and revenge
Letting people in
I know what you think of me. You've read a couple of my blogs already and you’re still in tears with laughter. You think to yourself: “Golly! This guy really knows the score. He’s sharp and witty. He’s probably a delight to be around and, if I had to guess, just a gorgeous sculpture of … Continue reading Letting people in
Larry’s jowls
Hold up. HOLD! UP! I was all geared up to end 2018 with a poignant and sober assessment of the political landscape in the U.S. I swear. It was written out, edited and ready to publish – a 1700 word kick in the ass, to spark some real change… And then something incredibly unsettling came … Continue reading Larry’s jowls
Review: Bidets
You know how you get into your busy season at work and you’re working 30 consecutive 12+ hour days and you look up from your computer and summer time has turned into fall time? Hopefully you don’t but I certainly do. That’s why it brings me so much joy to return to my writer’s saddle … Continue reading Review: Bidets
Net Positive: The everyman’s guide to sexual attractiveness
Back when my self-image was murkier, I found it difficult to believe it when my older and/or more self-assured male friends used to advise me that “getting girls is less about what you look like than you think.” “Easy for you to say,” I thought. “You look like you and I look like me.” For … Continue reading Net Positive: The everyman’s guide to sexual attractiveness
The struggle is real
Everyone’s “hood” is different. In certain contexts (like the one I’m using now), it’s a label we place on neighborhoods which are impoverished to a degree and/or contain some element of danger. Whether or not you came from one can be a matter of opinion and the last thing I care to address are questions … Continue reading The struggle is real
What’s breakfast?
Hello, and welcome back to Truth in Jest Studios. Pardon the hiatus; our field researcher/chief editor/reporter/founder was conducting weeks’ worth of interviews and fact-checking so that we could bring you a little something different this time around: a brief documentary of one remarkable young man and his life-altering discovery. Thank you for your patience and … Continue reading What’s breakfast?
Don’t worry. I haven’t been kidnapped.
I knew this day would come: the day I alienate half of my readers with a personal opinion. I’ve had a good run though – I can’t believe I’ve been doing this for a year; I’m so grateful to anyone who’s read or enjoyed any of this nonsense. And, to half of you: so sorry … Continue reading Don’t worry. I haven’t been kidnapped.
Escaping the friend zone
If you’ve been reading my blog for a while now or (gasp) from the beginning, you may have noticed a subtle shift. Early on I was all about pure, unbridled ridiculousness, one of my favorites being my review of ice cream sandwiches. And I started there for one simple reason: those are the most fun … Continue reading Escaping the friend zone
