Put me in a matrix multiplied by the objects of life
2 bitten pencils, no eraser, sign of strife

I hate the city. It’s loud, rude, and filled with foul air and bright lights where they aren’t necessary. And today, I spent an entire day in Manhattan, which was a living nightmare for a cranky guy like me. Continue reading

Sabina Says: Add Some Spice to Your Life

Sabina at Victim to Charm loves spicy food, and I don’t. Two opinions collided…
(Sabina)
A warm tingling filling my mouth. My nose running so hard that I wonder if it’ll ever stop. Maybe even a lone tear.
For some, this sounds like torture. Why would you ever voluntarily subject yourself to a burning tongue?
Because it’s delicious. Continue reading

10) Freshly cracked black pepper.
Pre ground black pepper isn’t as satisfying, it has less of a “kick” and you have to add a lot more. Plus, there’s nothing like the cathartic crackling sounds of grinding pepper. Continue reading
