Hipsters talk more than Boomers these days.

Abraham Kim last shared their writing change jar
It was strange keeping change from a customer.  Bloomingfoods wasn't a restaurant. there was no tipping. At first Drew thought about putting the extra cash into the register. Instead he pocketed it. Figured it would just be wasted if he put it into the register anyway. Although the store always...

Reward Addiction

I have quite an overhaul for the writing-workflow I'm working on for  Adagia . It includes changes that are big enough that I can't just write the code, test it and crank it out in one session. Probably couldn't even do it in two sessions. Because this feels daunting, I've...

I was halfway through shaving when they arrived at the door. I thought about finishing up really quick before answering but by the sound of their buzzing I could tell they were in a hurry. I carried my razor with me to the door as to signal that I wasn't...

Fist as weapon - II

Our town had a term for that age when boys were still boys but suddenly had the fist and wrists of men. Didn't mean they had the same musculature, but they now suddenly wielded these thickened hands like hammers attached to their wiry arms. 

Until this time the fights didn't...

Fist as weapon

In a fight, people fixate on size. It's true that in a cage the bigger fighter has the advantage. That's why they have weight classes. But fights in the real world give quite more advantage to the lighter folk.

Even a wily teenager had the capacity to knock a well muscled,...

Blood is 92 percent water

blood is not far off from  water . 92 percent of blood is made of it. 

In college if he scored a 92 then he got the highest grade point possible. 4 point oh.

So why was it that you could inject h20 into the veins of someone low on blood...

Superiority

Today I will stop riding quarterback 's coattails and write something that's on my mind without being directly linked to reading one of his posts!

I've been thinking a lot about this notion of superiority. Nowadays... or maybe it's been always this way......

People Always Change as reply to Nostalgia as a promise
