Frown and the whole world gives you flack Source: Wikimedia Commons Fellow human, have you ever had this experience? You were frowning for a damn good reason, and some smug bastard tells you that it takes more muscles to frown than smile. It’s called resting bitch face for a reason! My…

Bonus — alcoholic milk dispenser! Source: Wikimedia Commons Have you ever considered the origination of horseback riding? At some point in history, humans and horses existed separately on the planet and didn’t have a single thing to do with each other. Now — we’re atop their backs forcing them to do silly footwork in…

A totally 2% true history Contrary to popular opinion, it wasn’t Buddha or some other yogi that came up with the idea of mindfulness. It was none other than Monsieur Napoleon Bonaparte. People say he was short. He wasn’t. He was of average height, around 5’6″ says the Internet. Some…

A rant I’ve got a full-time job, a husband, a kid, a house, a car. I’m living the American dream! So why is it that as I push the vacuum cleaner back and forth, I’m like, “Fuck this! I hate domesticity!” When I do laundry, I abuse the washing machine…

The human condition isn’t pretty The only hair on my head that is its original shade of brown is my mustache. The hair on top: dyed. Eyebrows: penciled in. But my mustache? Still going strong! Why do genetics hate us so much? You’d think useless and socially problematic features like…

Are we %@#& there yet?! Rather than astronauts and scientists, I propose that it be the world’s most despised inhabitants that are selected for passage to Mars. Every person across the globe would get to cast a vote for the twenty worst offenders — think those who are dangerous, rabble rousers, or…

I am nouveau riche. And by “riche” I mean I came from nothing and now I’ve got something. Not a lot, but enough. I’ve got a roof over my head, a bed to sleep in, and a meal on my plate. My upbringing was lacking such that my former manager,…

On our recent family trip to Hawaii, I planned an excursion to an animal sanctuary. I convinced the proprietor to permit my 3.5-year-old on the property, despite the minimum guest age being seven. I assured the hippie who answered the phone that my daughter poses no harm to animals. At…

I want to donate a kidney, just for the weight loss. I’ve gained 30 pounds since the birth of my daughter 3 years ago, which is more than I gained during pregnancy. It kills me to know that this food baby won’t be birthed, leaving me with a beach ready…
Hello,
I’m Angie
Residing in the New York metropolitan area, I spend much of my free time writing. I graduated from Seattle University and published my debut book, Dismantle, in 2024.
Typically writing at the intersection of memoir and humor, I am currently working on several manuscripts which include a romance/murder mystery, crime, science fiction, and a Star Trek parody.
My goal with this blog is to offer readers a five-minute break from the monotony and stress of everyday life. Success for me is making you smile or laugh.
If you enjoy my work, please consider buying me a cup of coffee to fuel my next piece.
Join the fun!
