There’s a rather plain and flat old park outside of where I live. I’ve gone there very often. To do typical things. You know what I do there, you know what you do in such a place. You think about your life, you ponder what to do. You imagine future conflicts, you savor joys toContinue reading “Original Comparisons: Why trying to Enjoy Being Outside is like attempting to Become a Better Person [I Finally Feel Content]”

Original Comparisons: Why Being Crappy at RPGs is like Having No Dating Skills
You played Pokemon or something, when you were younger. You gave your Charizard all Fire moves, or something else like that. It worked, it felt right. Until it really didn’t.

YouContinue reading “Original Comparisons: Why Being Crappy at RPGs is like Having No Dating Skills”
Original Comparisons: Why ENDORSING the Disowning of your Adult Child Makes You Seriously No Better Than a Clown
I’m going to try to keep this one brief. Because it involves someone I know who committed suicide. I’m not going to get fancy. Because you aren’t worth it. She was someone who only wanted to live a normal American life. She wanted still to have a connection with her family. I didn’t know herContinue reading “Original Comparisons: Why ENDORSING the Disowning of your Adult Child Makes You Seriously No Better Than a Clown”
Original Comparisons: Why Celebrities are (un)like Real Heroes
I’m here to make a statement. I open up my throat and sing. I’m here to make you undulate. Agreeing with me and not, you rise and fall, and stop at a place. You embody wavering, doing so without movement. You undulant being. Your undulant feeling. I open up my veins and screech. Celebrities areContinue reading “Original Comparisons: Why Celebrities are (un)like Real Heroes”
Original Comparisons: Why Frustrating Game Design is like a Gift Card
Let me ask you another thing, have you ever been frustrated or perhaps endeared by the lack of options you wish you had in a video game?

Original Comparisons: Why Rhyming is Like The First Jacket of Autumn
Let me ask you something, perhaps you can figure it out. I’ve created a lot of these, perhaps you can do it yourself now. Wearing new clothing at the beginning of a season… two words having the same sound, aligned somehow in meter? Why oh why could these things be similar? I’ll give you theContinue reading “Original Comparisons: Why Rhyming is Like The First Jacket of Autumn”

To act a little bit worthy of embarrassment, to feel kind of egregious,forContinue reading “Original Comparisons: Why Holding up a Sign on The Internet is Like Body Shaming People You Don’t Like”

Original Comparisons: Why “Shut Up” is like “I’m Sorry”.
People are always telling each other to “shut up”. “Shut up, shut shut up, shut up!” Yeah, it rhymes, yeah, it sounds nice. It’s so mean. It feels so right. People are always saying “sorry.” “I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m so sorry.” It sounds so tender, it’s a conflict ender. These two little phrases, sourcesContinue reading “Original Comparisons: Why “Shut Up” is like “I’m Sorry”.”
Original Comparisons: Why Censorship is like Gambling
Censorship is something that we all want to say something about. Censorship is a subject that’s woefully cliche. Everyone seems to engage in it on some degree, despite saying they are not really pro-censorship. I could whittle it down to the making of exceptions beyond exceptions, of alleged dignity so strong it defies expectations. ButContinue reading “Original Comparisons: Why Censorship is like Gambling”
