At the risk of sounding pompous, I will state that for the most part I watch documentaries, particularly social documentaries, and, while I have recently attempted to entertain entertainment in the form of feature films, few have made it past the 30 minute mark before getting ejected from the player, sealed in the envelope, and [...]
They say to just be yourself when you’re trying to meet girls. They don’t say what to do when “yourself” is a goober. Still, I bet one of these lines might work on one of these girls. One never knows, eh?
Before producing BURRITO, I had another zine called “One Lump or Two: Your Coffee Break Publication.” It had much of the same content but it was more mixed up, not as segmented. When it started, it was an email newsletter of sorts. I would send one out Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and also a Weekend Edition [...]
We all put on some weight after marriage, right? It’s the “Chubby Hubby” factor. Mmm… ice cream sounds good right now!
Some of us guys think that having big muscles makes us look tough. Nah… that just makes us looks bumpy. Girls would sooner go for a rail-thin guy doing something dangerous.
I’ve seen such articles. I’ve seen such articles in magazines at doctors’ office waiting rooms. I’ve torn such articles from those magazines and took them home for further reading.
Have you ever been out in nature and not had the sound of electronic devices humming in your ears? It’s a strange yet good feeling. The Amish are strange yet good people.
By Jason Salas Like most people, I saw the movie “Avatar” and drooled over the astonishing special effects. I marveled at the fact that a movie like that could even be made. But it just occurred to me that the forecast was not that in 2010 we would not be just watching movies about making [...]
Yes, there is a bee problem. No joke. But I do have a fear of bees myself. A fear that they can smell according to the movie Jerry Maguire.
A confession: I have never received a college degree. I have taken college courses on and off since high school (don’t ask how long ago) but spent most of that class time doodling. I value education but I also get distracted when there’s pen and paper in front of me. Currently I am attending a [...]
Some of us have been evicted from our apartments at one time in our life. Others of us have evicted people from apartments. Then there are the rest of the folks who are thankful to be on neither side.
For the average guy, there are few things more inimidating than a really pretty girl. Normal guys try to impress and end up looking like goof-balls. But even goof-balls get the girl sometimes.
Here is some poetry I published in the January and/or February 2010 Issue of BURRITO (my small press publication or “zine” if you will):
Have you ever been judged by your dirty, old shoes? Farmers get judged positively on the dirtiness and age of their shoes. We are all farmers of something or other.
Will we care about our avatars 100 years in the future? Will they care about us? Will we be their avatars?
There’s a whole back story to the idea of going off-line and off the grid but that can wait until another day. Suffice to say that the experiment is a long time coming. Everyone pretty much knows what “Off-Line” means but what is “Off-the-Grid”? I’m no expert on the subject but living off-the-grid can be [...]
I, like most folks, don’t like the fact that some people are homeless. I should do more to help, I guess. But I, like most folks, suffer from “homelessphobia.” I am not perfect.
A thousand Thank You’s to today’s guest strip creators Trevor Hodgkins and J. Lopez, writer and artist respectively! Bang up job, guys! This would make a great poster. Hmm…
Ever eat a nice hearty meal and get hungry about an hour after? Why does that happen? Why am I getting hungry just thinking about it?
When it comes to opportunities with women, some say “If you snooze, you lose!” Others have another saying cautioning against “hesitation.” If you are familiar with the latter, you probably snooze thereafter.
The reason it is not thirteen weeks is because there are parties to go to during the beginning of winter and some “shorts” days in late winter. Those five weeks constitute the core of the no-leg-shave season. This practice is not rare among the female of our species.
