No, I won't barrage you with a bunch of prose I somehow feel is relevant to my life, even though it was last spoken by some jackass who died three centuries before I was born. Instead, I'm just ... http://tableforjake.com/blog/thats-what-she-said Typically, I don't buy into the whole "generation <insert letter here>" thing.

In ... http://tableforjake.com/blog/egg-caucasians In a country that makes up the richest 10% of the world (well, 1/3rd of the richest 10%, and I don't feel like doing math,) and survival being a distant necessity in the back of our minds, we frequently have people with too much time on their hands. Vegetarianism, PETA, ... http://tableforjake.com/blog/side-effects-may-include-naivete No, I'm not trying to get you fired. If you do get fired for this though, you'll probably agree with this post.
