I Love the Internet.

Healdsburg, California is where fun goes to die.

Don’t get me wrong: it’s a nice enough town, centered around a pleasant little town square where community events and farmer’s markets are held with frequency, and nearly everyone knows each other. Most everything is centered on wine, wineries, tasting wine at wineries, or emptying your pockets on material yuppie garbage. Crime’s low, schools aren’t overcrowded… it’s a pretty good place to raise cute little urchin children, especially if you want to indulge your own narcissistic illusions of wine connoisseurdom while you bounce a tyke on your knee.

The problem? That’s all pretty boring if you aren’t a part of the generation that hid from nuclear bombs under desks as kids.

So I come from what some might consider the antonym of Isla Vista (save for the alcohol). What’s a man to turn to, then, when the life blood of his hometown is a 21-and-over beverage, fresh produce, and excessive testosterone?

Some folks I knew found things like football, bowling, shooting signs (or people, livestock, etc.) with rifles.

Me, I found the Internet. And I love it.

Since I left the wild, untamed North(ern California), I took a job that involves a lot of sitting at a computer terminal and put myself in a major that requires a lot of typing—both at a school that provides me free Internet everywhere I look. I’ll let you folks in on a secret: not all of my Internet-related activities have been school related. I’ve done a lot of surfing since I came to Santa Barbara, and none of it has been in the Pacific.

Until I get sick of it, I’m going to share with you readers some of the best time-wasting garbage, smut, and otherwise intellectually vacant smut I find while combing the Internet, along with a little bit of self-indulgent commentary. Not all of it is going to be pretty. But kind of like me, you probably wouldn’t be here if you had anything better to do.
