just a bunch of this-or-that from an ageing, sweet-bitter, consume-to-survive skeptic expat
Yeah, I bad mouth my (home) country. But do I do it more than Zack Mayo? No, of course not. Then again, unlike Zack, I won't go on to become a fighter pilot that will probably be bombing defenceless people at the behest of really, really, ugly rich white people. And on that note, I …

Still having trouble with an old friend and his/her inability to define fascism in the wake of the racist violence in #Charlottesville, VA. On top of that, my old friend is a bit über obsessed with both-siderism, a common problem for Americans these days that are unable grasp why things have turned out the way …
Do you wake up as soon as you recognise the pillow your head's been resting upon (all your life)? Or do you go back to sleep? #americant It is, indeed, a comfy pillow. But let's call it out all the same, eh, dear worst-reader. I recognised the fascist pillow I was sleeping on the first …

Hilarryus, dear worst-reader. Seriously. I'm laughing my ass off right now at #United Airlines gettin' in the newz. Of course, it need not be mentioned that more than ten or so years ago, I also got booted from a United flight. The good newz is I didn't actually get booted like this guy did. No. …
Gawk. Wow. There is a difference between the verb and the noun? Don't you hate it when that happens, dear worst-reader? I mean, gawk as a noun doesn't sound as bad as gawk as a verb. Or am I splitting hairs here? But then again, now that the world's greatest experiment in pseudo democracy is …
Recently subscribed to recode-decode podcast. Have to admit, of all the podcasts out there, many of which I try regularly in search of things-of-interest, there are only about a dozen or so that I remain subscribed to. Shame, eh. I mean, what a waste of bandwidth. Thousands of podcasts out there and only, maybe, twelve …

Hi-larry-us, dear worst-reader. I mean, I don't mean to mock all the people that will ultimately lose their minimum wage jobs. But then again, maybe they should be mocked. For the life of me, I've never understood why people work at a store like Sports Authority. I understand that due to #americant democracy equalling stupidity …
A post about how sh*t happens when you move to another world. First. The power goes out in India--a lot. And I don't mean it goes out during a storm or something. The friggin power goes out all the time. At our new place it goes out ten friggin' times day. It's not like we're living …

The question: What should 7 billion useless eating bottom feeder lemmings do if they are not achievers--but think they are (achievers)? Ah. The tried & true response to a grand issue stemming out of the sophomoric mindset of a pseudo (master)debater and an unbeknownst polymath (wannabe). The answer from she/he: It doesn’t really matter. But …
First A. This post is NSFW. First B. The window of opportunity has closed. We are screwed because moneyed interests are the new Gods of art, creativity and life. Or. I would really like to see a change in the music industrial complex now that Prince is gone. Second. I am a child of two …

Having fun in the game of life yet? No? Gee, why not? Not enough ice-cream? Not enough cheap gas? Not enough free money in the form of credit you'll never pay back? Not enough of someone thinking for you? Not enough of all this too much? Oh well. Moving on. Look what happened today (in …

Competition is the opposite of cooperation and is perfect for sport, games and getting laid. What else has it proven to be good for? Not sure if I got the right article. But I'm gonna go with it. See below. §Gave a listen to comrade Wolff this morning. See other link below. As usual, and unfortunately, Comrade …
Subtitle: Juxtaposition of Hope v Change v Consuming v Survive v Gee, I don’t know, …Orwell? You know, recently, before our move to India, I floated the idear that we should probably update our ageing digital devices. My wife’s iPhone 5S was looking pretty beat up and my iPhone 4S was almost a brick due to …
Reason I googled it? Overheard my better-half's morning news show while she was preparing for her day. She props her iPad on a shelf under the mirror in the hotel bathroom. She streams the news from Germany. Even though we've been away from Das Vaterland for just over a week, the saying holds tried & true: you …
Moments that tell all? Or points in the time-space continuum that hide from view but are always there? One thing stands out from all the 2016 GOP debates. There is something seriously wrong with the mindset that has produced the current iteration of the republican party in the united mistakes of #americant. Double seriously. I …
