I discovered sarcasm at an early age. I vividly recall discussing the definition of the word with a fellow second grader, and we determined that sarcasm was “saying something nice in a mean way.” We were pretty on the money, but Merriam-Webster describes it as follows: Sarcasm refers to the use of words that mean the opposite of what you really want to say, especially in order to insult someone, or to show irritation, or just to be funny. Not everybody gets sarcasm. When you have a Saharan dese…

Stupid people are everywhere.

Where's the serotonin at?

Enjoying the fantasy or science fiction genres is considered lame by some people. I'm talking about the people who read non-fiction books about politics, or people who prefer to watch the news over a dramatic television show. Some dismiss the genres as corny, while others look at them as an immature escape from reality. We're of the mind that the fictional genres of fantasy and sci-fi require an incredible level of creativity, something that is unique to human beings and should be taken advanta…

For reasons unbeknownst to me, awards ceremonies seem to get people really worked up. Sure, there are the occasional Kanye West/Taylor Swift situations - or possibly worse, the Will Smith/Chris Rock situation - but mostly awards ceremonies, to me, seem very boring. Aren't they rigged? Anyway, a lot of the purported action appears to happen hours before the actual ceremony, when the honorees and their celebrity peers get together to answer banal PR questions and show off their (mostly) exorbitan…

Happy Monday, people. Hope you all had wonderful weekends filled with rest, relaxation, and maybe some quality time with loved ones. We realize that's a lot to ask for - most of our weekends are spent doing all the chores we couldn't get to during the week thanks to work. The struggle is real. Anyway, while most of our “free time” was spent

Hold up...

Greetings, Internet users and abusers. It's another day on the beautiful, chaotic, and often cringey world wide web. The Internet is a problematic place, filled with unpleasantries, and the same memes being posted over and over again. But what would we do without it? For starters, I wouldn't have a job. All the conveniences we've grown so used to (and cost so much) would be gone - our smartphones rendered nearly useless. We'd be back to basics. And maybe we'd be happier. But as much as we gripe…

What's with all this emphasis on things being “fresh” or “new.” Sure, novelty is cool, but everything loses its exciting luster after a while. That doesn't make it less valuable. Think of all the long-married couples who have achieved ultimate companionship after years of partnership. Or perhaps a bottle of fine wine you're saving for a special occasion. Sure, sometimes people get divorced. Sometimes that bottle of vino is corked. But do we lose faith? NO! The same goes for memes. Sure, there a…

A picture is worth a thousand words.

I'm the problem, it's me.

Hello, party people, Lord of the Rings geeks, and lovers of internet humor. We come bearing great news. You can stop whatever it is you're doing and celebrate because we've made it to everyone's favorite day of the week. That's right, it's Tolkien Tuesday . If you know, you know, but if you're a Tolkien Tuesday virgin, then prepare yourself for an extra dank collection of all the best Lord of the Rings memes the internet has to offer. If you haven't seen the films? Well, that's a crime that can…

Bzzzzzz.

Adulting isn't as fun as we thought it would be.

Welcome to the good old kingdom of classical art memes.

Living in New York City is a little different than the suburbs or even smaller cities across the country. Being exposed to the antics of other people almost 24/7 gives us what seems like tolerance for the quirks of other humans. In reality, at least for me, that tolerance is just me tuning them out. If I had a dime for every time another human, whether next door or on the subway, bothered me with their noise, their smells, or their general inconsiderateness, I'd have a million dollars. But alas…
