I’m broken
Not too long ago, the Queen of the Internet (as far as I’m concerned, anyway) put out a call for help. Her name is Jenny Lawson, she’s known online as The Bloggess, and she’s weird and wonderful and damaged. One might even say broken.
She would say that, actually. She has said that. And she needed help from other broken souls to put together a trailer for her new book, Furiously Happy. Turns out, I am one of those broken souls.

A Trick of Light and Shadow
None of this is real.
It can’t be. I don’t believe in ghosts. Or demons, or magic, or psychics, or anything supernatural. I’m a realist. Show me the observable, repeatable, verifiable evidence and we’ll talk. But anything short of that and I’m going to give whatever you’re saying as much respect and attention as I give to the wacky-haired Greek dude on the Ancient Aliens show.
That includes anecdotes. Especially anecdotes. Anecdotal evidence is not evidence; it’s just stories. People love ghost stories, although they’re hardly ever told firsthand. It’s always a friend or a cousin, or maybe Earl down by the car wash who tells them this super legitimate and believable tale of Strange Things, so I really should start believing in the power now, or else!
The point is, it’s all nonsense. Comforting bits of horror we tell ourselves to forcibly project some kind of cosmic will onto an uncaring universe, and I’ll have nothing to do with it, thankyouverymuch.
THAT SAID…I’m pretty sure I’m being stalked by supernatural forces beyond my control that want to murder, maim, or otherwise do physical and mental harm to my person.
I’m probably going to die.

The Best Worst Christian Song Parodies
I develop weird obsessions like normal people develop healthy relationships. For example, I discovered Christian parody songs last night, and now I. CAN’T. STOP. WATCHING.
Seriously, it’s a problem. But don’t worry, I’ve scoured the holiest corners of Internet to find the best worst ones so you don’t have to. But more on that in a minute (or you could just skip right to it, if you don’t feel like reading). Read More
