I'm not really into holidays, but I LOVE Dana and want to get her something for Christmas. What should I get her?

I haven't read anything other than the title of this yet? I haven't read the book yet and don't want to be hit with spoilers. Are there any in this discussion or can I read on?

Just read this discussion - wonderful fun! I'd be inclined to add to the cast of characters a young, intense researcher (of either gender, or both) who will be baffled by the psychiatrist, terrified of the intern and teased unmercifully by the inm...

I hate Christmas.
'But Markus, how could you hate something as wonderful as Christmas?'
It's simple. Allow me to give you the holiday season in a microcosm: Christmas music. I LOVE Christmas music.
'But Markus, how can you love Christmas music but hate Christmas?'
Why don't you shut up and let me finish? It's like this:

Holiday music is awesome. Little Drummer Boy, The First Noel, Santa Claus Is Coming To Town, Jingle Bell Rock; I love 'em all. A lot of people do. They put… Continue

So then . . .

So I'm sitting here in the Emergency Room with what I think is a broken toe. I was sparring (boxing) yesterday and someone stepped on it. It didn't bother me at the time, but I was being punched in the face and I guess even pain has a priority list. Late last night it really began to hurt and swell. I tried toughing it out and going to sleep, but the pain was doing a good job of keeping me awake so I decided to watch random movies on Nextflix until I fell asleep. (Actually, I just watched porn b… Continue

I Love Pancakes

"All men are created equal." Who said it first? What does it mean? And does anyone believe it? I think a woman said it first. It sounds a lot like 'All men are dogs.' But all dogs aren't equal so who knows? Do all men go to heaven? I bet that would make lame movie as opposed to the Dog one which was great. It's proof that people and animals shouldn't be mixed. So this Halloween I don't want to see any women dressed as 'sexy' cats or bunnies. For that matter I don't want to see any men dresse… Continue

Time Is Nothing Without Numbers

My parents have a new microwave. It's the dumbest design for a household appliance ever. It has no number buttons. Well, that's a slight lie. It has a one-minute button and a one-second button. A one-second button. Why the hell would I want to hook something up for one second?! Who's the ignorant engineer who took the phrase "just a second" literally?
Instead of numbers, this campy contraption has buttons which have pictures of food. It's like Fisher-Price for adults. "Hmm, I need to microwave t… Continue

Allow Me To Plead My Case

For the past few days I've been in friendly email contact with an ex-girlfriend of mine. For most of you, contact with an ex may not be a big deal, but for me, contact with an ex without the requirement of a police escort is major. We ended on bad terms, but now it seems we may be able to go back to being friends as long as we pretend we never dated. In the process of ignoring the 800-pound gorilla standing in the room, I started thinking about forgiveness. What exactly is it and do we really fo… Continue

Who Is Markus Cross?

I'm not completely sure who Markus Cross is. He just showed up in my brain one day. I discovered if I just write what he says he tends to leave me alone.

Now as for me, I love boxing, reading, writing, and watching movies. And boxing. That's pretty much it. I think from the outside looking in people see me as a boring person. But all of my imaginary friends keep me entertained.

Let's see. I live in Japan as a member of the US military; Air Force to be specific. Japan is amazing. Everyone's nice and you never have to search for sushi. It basically falls out of the sky like manna.

I'm 30 years old but am constantly mistaken for a teenager. People think this is a good thing. It's not. Women my age won't date me since I look so child-like. This greatly interferes with my dream of getting married to a wealthy woman and never having to work again. EVER!
