  • Sexy Canning = Botulism

    Sexy Canning = Botulism

    Mr. VS and I were quite domesticated (like badly behaved pets) this fall and we tried some canning from the bounty of the land, i.e. our garden. BTW…we totally have a farm or something minus any animals except cats – cat farm? Our farm has no name currently but it could be called Poison Ivy…

  • Forget the Lifetime Failure Tally: Look Ahead

    Forget the Lifetime Failure Tally: Look Ahead

    I’ve now officially (you heard it here) been informed, through an article online that I cannot find again (did it really exist??) that I should be looking toward the future and not at the past. Mr. VS also recently told me that millionaires and highly successful people refuse to see failure and instead are always…

  • My Body is a Polluted Bombed Out Wasteland

    My Body is a Polluted Bombed Out Wasteland

    So as you might know, I’ve been on meds (Zoloft for anxiety/panic attacks) for about a year and a half.  Prior to this  med-circus I’m partaking in now, I had been off meds for 3.5 years.  And before that I was on them for about 8 years and prior to that I was medication free…

  • Broken, The Internet Is

    Broken, The Internet Is

    So there are some people out there that think they are going to break the internet with their ass. These ‘people’ shall remain nameless since I can’t stand to toot their horn more than it has already been tooted by everyone else on the planet. However, I do have a few things to say on…

  • A Case of “the Uglies” with Mincing and Ogling

    A Case of “the Uglies” with Mincing and Ogling

    Yesterday I had a mean case of the uglies.  It’s sort of like the “mondays” but it’s the uglies instead.  I don’t mean, I was ugly, as in I was horrible to be around or my mood was hideous or anything like that.  What I mean is that I felt…hideous, physically.  Yes,  yesterday I was…

  • Would You Judge This Girl By Her Cover?

    A farewell to Angst, a love note and a statement.  Angst stands on its own and it will remain as it is…flaws, imperfections and all… As I said, here I stand, naked Exposed Warm hand to bare chest Honest as a heartbeat Steady Craving approval When I wrote Angst, I was honest, brutally so about…

  • When Life Gives You Shit, You Give it Hell

    Life has done just that to me these last two years of my life.  Things have been hard and wonderful and exciting and just plain stressful.  And now I’ve got choices to make, life decisions that never have a “right” answer or a “best” answer.  The kind of decisions you don’t really want to make,…

  • The-Fraudulent-Not-Confident-Blogger

    Ummm…so….social media and blogging is actually kind of hard to keep up on.  Does anyone else hate posting to Facebook?  It’s like whenever you post there are crickets chirping loudly in the background.  NO ONE is there.  Or if they are, they are not hearing you despite your repeated screaming of the same shit again…

  • I Made Words: Anarchy!!

    Anarchy, Anarchy, Government Grammar is evil!!! I don’t know if you know, but I’m an English major with an actual BA (Bad Ass)degree in English.  Does that mean that I am certified to speak English you ask?  Don’t be an asshole!  (I am certified for that, BTW, but it’s not the only thing we English…

  • The Importance of Voice in Non-Fiction

    This is a guest blog post from Nickolas Baron from Grammarly (a free proofreading tool for writers).  It’s his take on the importance of voice and trust me, I agree!  Voice is incredibly important, no matter what kind of writing you’re attempting.  An interesting narrator will get you everywhere!  Read on for tips on writing…

  • What Kind of Strange Godforsaken Place is This?

    So, if you’re new to this site, like an intrepid (love this word) space traveler who has stumbled upon a strange and clearly godforsaken (also love this word) alien world, you might begin to ask yourself, what the hell kind of place is this?  What does it mean!  By god, Captain Kirk, where are we???!!! …

  • Pity Party for 2! Whoohooo!

    Sometimes you need a pity party.  Sometimes you don’t know you need one and someone hosts one for you anyway and doesn’t tell you it’s gonna be tomorrow at noon and when you show up where you always show up on Tuesdays at noon, there it is, waiting for you.  Surprise!!  It’s a surprise pity…

    The Happy Forgotten Place Where Plastic Lives: The Landfill

    Remember that place the so-called Landfill? I know you’re like…”What? No? What place? I don’t recall anything like that.” (All said while avoiding eye contact). Well, I’m here to point your attention in the direction of your local landfill, filled not with LAND…

  • This is Why We’re All Overweight

    This is Why We’re All Overweight

    I’ve done a little thinking on the topic and I’ve come up with several reason why we’re all overweight and continue to gain the old lbs. The equation looks something like this: unhappiness + depression + meaninglessness + boredom + our modern culture…

  • Humble Cake

    And then in true Angst fashion, you laugh about it and make a joke, because to do otherwise would be….too depressing for words and I’m through that stage.  Acceptance, Grief, Bargaining…Humorous Self-depreciation?   Making fun of thyself…best for thyself.  (This brings Jim Gaffigan to mind when he talks about the gym…. “I want to look at…

  • Facebook is Obnoxious. Here Are Some Rules of Conduct.

    Facebook drives me to drink.  I’m not sure why I keep going back, but for some reason I do.  I was feeling a rant  coming on regarding the ole FB and I thought, well shit, better make that into a ranting blog post to relieve the pressure inside your head.  We don’t want an explosion. …
