Since graduating from college, I have spent a great deal of time watching television–and since I cannot afford any of the good channels–watching television on my laptop. I’m also still pretty confused about the whole switchover from analog to digital, so I’m playing it safe. I am one of those Middlers who just had to [...]

This is the gateway, the essential hazing brought upon God’s fratboys to welcome us into Middleness: Graduation. The voices you read on this site won’t hit all of these stages except this one. We all (literally or figuratively) donned that cap and launched into so-called “real life.” Lacking an undergraduate seminar on what exactly reality [...]

Nothing describes this contingent we represent better than the word immature. Or at least that’s how society has made me feel about the whole thing.

This seems like common sense, right? Well let me tell you a little story… Second semester of my senior year of college, I had a job interview for an organization called the “Green Corps”. The idea was to be like the Peace Corps or AmeriCorps for the environmental movement. I didn’t get that job, though [...]

This blog entry is a eulogy for another one, a one-episode blog-series named “The Sorenson Squeeze.” It has been deleted from WordPress and according to its almighty rules, can never be resurrected again (we’ll see if we can Lazarus it). Background: instead of a standard, here’s-what-i’m-thinking-at-this-particular-moment writeup, I created characters etc for all the important [...]
