Letter To A Friend 5: Nine-Letter Apocalypse

May 23, 2013 in Matt McKinney, slideshow

[Author’s Note: This is introspective and mopey with a few jokes to make it not feel introspective and mopey. If you don’t like mopey, don’t read it. If you read it anyways, don’t complain about it. Consider yourself disclaimed.]  Dear DC, I’ve officially stopped the whole online dating thing. Account [...]

Can I Be the Popsicle Man?

May 16, 2013 in All Friends, slideshow, Tina Siadak

During bouts of quality television dry spells or an absence of Rihanna videos, I run out of things on Hulu or YouTube to watch. Having indulged in “a free month of Netflix” at least four times, I’ve also burned that metaphorical online video streaming bridge. That is when I check [...]

Letter To My Little Brother XXIX: Dumb Tattoos Are Dumb

May 15, 2013 in Matt McKinney, slideshow

Dear Squirrel, This past weekend I noticed your shoulder had a fake tattoo of a hockey goalie standing in front of a brick wall. You said that it was a copy of your teammate’s real tattoo of a hockey goalie standing in front of a brick wall. I used my [...]

Letter To My Little Brother XVIII: YouTube Relationship Advice

May 3, 2013 in Matt McKinney, slideshow

Dear Squirrel, So I was watching that video of Michael Shannon reading that crazy sorority letter when YouTube suggested I watch the following video titled, “So You Think You’re Ready For A Relationship?” Now, I’ve been building a lot of websites recently so I know how Google aggregates your data [...]

Letter To My Little Brother XXVII: Finding My Balls

May 2, 2013 in Matt McKinney, slideshow

Dear Squirrel, I had my first real business pitch today. It was a little strange for me because I’m fairly unaccustomed to the business world. While my arrogance and ego should be a perfect fit, I unfortunately know more about Diagon Alley than Wall Street. As you can therefore imagine, [...]

Letter To My Little Brother XXVI: On Sexting

April 19, 2013 in Matt McKinney, slideshow

Dear Squirrel, I was hanging out with some friends recently when we had the following (only semi-fictional) discussion: Me: Yes, I do find her quite an attractive partner, both on both a physical and emotional level. Jethro: Have you gotten any naked pictures from her yet? Me: Pardon me? Jethro: [...]

The Extreme Sport of Comedy: Open Mics

April 10, 2013 in slideshow, Tina Siadak

The other night I went to an open mic at a “comedy zone.” I wasn’t performing, just watching, but I was still nervous. Why? Because open mics are terrifying for everyone involved. No one really has any idea what is about to happen or the exact depths of crazy that [...]

The First Thing On Your Mind

April 9, 2013 in Hudson Buddy

The First Thing On Your Mind First off, thanks for the warm response on my first essay back after a long hiatus. I got into some great discussions about “The Last Thing On Your Mind” with friends I haven’t talked to in months and it’s been great to talk candidly [...]

LTMLB XXV: Is This My Brain On Drugs?

April 9, 2013 in Matt McKinney, slideshow

Dear Squirrel, Have you done drugs? I haven’t. (Obviously.) A few people have offered me drugs, and a few have even offered to do them with me, but I’ve never partaken. I’m sort of like the Snow White from a parallel dimension who never took the bite from the witch’s [...]

Letter To A Friend IV: Car Watching & Other Odd Happenings Involving Motor Vehicles

April 7, 2013 in Matt McKinney, slideshow

Dear DC, It’s kind of funny to think of all the life experiences we have that involve — or even tangentially involve — cars. Traveling. Meeting new people. Anxiously driving to your job interview (or fleeing after you get fired). Seeing people feeding their camels with beer. Falling asleep with [...]
