Talented Failure

Aspiring writer, hopeless romantic. I think I'm funnier than I am. https://andrewprenger.blogspot.com/ Link above is all the writing I'm willing to share. Updates are slow, but they do happen!

We had a family-sized bag of BBQ chips that someone brought to a party this month that nobody even opened. Finally we just put it in the candy bowl on Halloween. The first kid to our door was jazzed for it.

It's Halloween, my favorite holiday. The leaves are down, the decorations are up. We got a cauldron off full-size candy bars for the kids and a cooler of cold beers for the adults. Best time of the year!

My friend is getting deployed for a good long while. I have pledged to raise their child as if they were my own. Which is vaguely a threat, seeing as it is morning and I am drinking a Mike's Hard Lemonade tall boy.

Got scolded at work for unprofessionalism. Was having issues with a PDF I needed. So I emailed a work group I thought could help me out. The subject line was “Adobe sucks.” I stand by it.

There was one of those Go Joe rent-a-cops at the gym parking lot this morning. They were driving around, stopping at cars to...check them out? Dude. The gym is about to open, we're allowed to be here.

I love that there are countless stories of people dying of preventable diseases because they were counting on prayer and God, meanwhile the Pope gets cancer and says "Fuck that, I'm going to a surgeon."

Friends with teenagers probably know, but what is up with the recent influx of "Student Driver" bumper stickers I see? Is this a new requirement for people getting their license? Or is it just for people who want an excuse to crash into others? "Whoops! I'm a new driver!"
