What Boils My Egg
Maybe I’m a little weird, but I’m grateful that I don’t currently own a car. I’m content with hitching a ride with friends, or taking the train into the city, trusting others to get me to my destinations. I know I’ll need a vehicle extremely soon, but for now, I’m […]

There have been countless individuals who have approached me with inquiries regarding the origin of my article. “Stephen,” they would say, in a formal address. “Why are you so easily annoyed?” “Where does the natural hatred for things/others come from?” “Do you really despise ‘Glee’?” Though these questions are legitimate […]
