Happy Wednesday, frog fans! The "It's Wednesday, my dudes" frog meme is almost ten years old, and meme lovers still circulate it every 4th day of the week. It's one of those timeless memes. Wednesday always comes, whether you want it to or not. Frogs are such a beloved animal in the meme world. It just makes sense. I would not have believed you if you had told me in 2014 that the "It's Wednesday, my dudes" frog outlasted Pepe The Frog regarding popularity. We are living in such a weird timeline…

Life is a Jenga game, and I'm gonna play it all night long

Feeling good

I was a bit of a whiner as a kid. I am outing myself. That said, my mother wasn't the most engaging parent. She sat at the same chair every day, chainsmoking and drinking Lipton tea while filling out her logic problem books that she bought at the stationery store. While I was a very imaginative (morbid, even) child, there were times when not even my own brain could keep me entertained. And it wasn't like I could turn on the TV. That wasn't allowed. So I'd whine to my mother that I was bored. “I…

In New York City, rats are the kings of the vermin world . They run rampant on the streets, in train stations, and, if you're an unlucky renter, in your apartment. I see a rat scamper across the street more often than not when I'm coming home when it's dark out. They know how much power they have, and they're not afraid to show it. In other areas of the U.S., rats are a much rarer sight. This is true even in other cities; New York is kind of the only one that has a substantial rat population. I…

Here in New York City, where nature somehow manages to thrive between the cracks in the pavement, there aren't a ton of “wild” animal sightings. Sure, we've got pigeons galore and some clever rats running the streets, but for the most part, the wildlife, to many, would seem unremarkable. But I'm not jaded, and I'm happy to report that in my corner of Brooklyn the raccons and possums are thriving. I've even seen a skunk sniffing around my street. While opossums and skunks are arguably dope (unle…

Better than cable

This week, the northeastern United States has been hit with an impenetrable wave of smoke and smog. Apparently, that silly little country up north decided it would be cute to have a couple of wildfires, and now I can't stop sneezing! If you're on the New York City side of Twitter, I'm sure you've seen countless photos of the city looking like a sepia-tone disaster movie, and I can affirm that the pictures are not an exaggeration. I know that Californians have seen it all before, but this is all…
