Custom Knife Block
A few years ago, I saw this knife block. I don’t like wood, but this thing was beautiful. I asked my dad to make one for me, because he likes wood working, but he never had a chance to get to it. Time went on, and I kept thinking about this block. Finally, I decided to make it myself. I had watched my dad build things often enough to have a pretty good idea how to do it. It took me a little over a year, mostly because I’m lazy and got distracted with other things. If you’re actually committed, it should take a weekend, with glue time.

UPS and Their Utter Lack of Accountability
I order things online a lot. Yesterday, I got a package via UPS. It was delivered to my front door. Today, I was expecting two packages via UPS. They were not delivered. Instead I got this error on the Tracking Number system. “The street number is incorrect. This may delay delivery. We’re attempting to update the address.”

In Shocking News, I Am Autistic
I hadn’t planned on writing this. Mainly, because this website is dedicated to me complaining about stupid stuff, and occasionally ridiculing my parents. It’s meant to be entertaining and funny. I try to not take myself too seriously, and what started me doing this website was that people found my tedious rants humorous. However, over the last year or two, through interviews, biographies, and my Server Build walkthrough, I have been adding an educational aspect to the site. Another thing that convinced me to write about this is the massive ignorance about what autism actually is. When most people think of autism, they think Rain Man or some sort of creature that…

Chris Explains Country Lyrics to Black People
A few months ago, I did an article where I explained rap lyrics to white people. To build on that success, here’s the opposite. I’m going to try to explain country lyrics to black people. Hopefully with more conversations like this, we can build relationships, and end the cultural misunderstandings.

The Gay Agenda vs My Idiot Parents
This story is a few years old, but I was thinking about it the other day. My parents are fundamentalist Catholics. Think Glenn Beck, with less reasoning skills. They decided to remove my little brother from the Boy Scouts because “the gays were attacking”. Now that quote came from my brother who was like 12 at the time, and I’m sure he was just parroting whatever my parents told him.

Review: Suicide Squad
So this was a weird movie. Like, I can’t think of a better word, than “weird”. There were a lot of great scenes, and I will get into spoilers, but I’ll warn you before I do. Let’s start with a behind the scenes story. Marvel and DC have been competitors forever. Now that Marvel has had huge success with their MCU (Marvel Cinematic Universe), and DC has been hit or miss (mostly miss) with their movies, they decided to create their DCEU (DC Extended Universe). DCs TV Shows have been really good, but their movies haven’t. The Dark Knight trilogy was hugely successful, and Man of Steel was OK, but…

Review: Star Wars: The Force Awakens
Note: First posted to my Facebook page, January 24, 2016 Let’s get into this. First, it was quite good. I thought all the praise was from the nerds getting a new movie, but it was really well done. It was visually stunning. The effect when the force was used was really cool. The plot seemed well paced. The nods to the previous movies seemed predictable though. Especially the cameos.

Review: Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice
Note: First posted to my Facebook page March 26, 2016 Batman v (not vs, because that would make sense, and this movie doesn’t like that) Superman: Rant of Justice I’ll try to avoid major spoilers in this, but if you’ve seen the trailers, you already know everything you need to know. Seriously. You’ve seen the movie.
