The Cruise - Day Four
We landed in Tortola, British Virgin Islands at some point early in the morning before I had awoken. I hastily filled up on carbs and dry meats in preparation for the Pub Crawl Tour. It was a hell of a ride, let me tell you. Many people often marvel at the fact that I can go on drinking excursions with my mother, they’re convinced I would be receiving some sort of stern talking-to or...

I don't post editorials often, but here is one.
I used to have this silly idea that talking about stuff like Rape Culture & White Male Privilege would make me “lame” or some kind of “poser.” Like I’m just doing it for the attention, which is the worst reason to do it. It’s a pretty ludicrous idea, that. But I know I’m not alone. I know it’s “not cool” for white guys to talk about...
