Old Friends

Over the years I have lost touch with most of the friends that I went to high school with. It is almost entirely my fault because I don’t visit home too often and when I do visit home, my visits are typically short because of time constraints. I really regret losing touch with them because ...

Embarrassing moments

Since I’ve been on the topic of bathroom humour this month, I figured I’d share 2 more stories with you. The first story is from a couple days ago. I was at work and I went on the elevator and there was an older Asian man already on the elevator. He gave me an odd ...

US Nuclear planning

On September 19th, the US yanked a document entitled “Doctrine for Joint Nuclear Operations” from the Pentagon website which outlines US nuclear warfighting plans, including the pre-emptive use of nuclear weapons and the use of nukes in conventional war.
