I Love P!nk. Especially “Raise your glass”, here’s today’s quote. So Raise your glass if you are wrong, in all the right ways. All my underdogs. We will never be, never be anything but loud. This is also pretty much the motto of the TNF staff. Why? Because: People say we’re wrong, We have all [...]

The Best is Yet to Come. Not only is this an epic Frank Sinatra song, but it is also a very true statement in the case of yours truly. You see, Rika has challenged us to a “writers competition” if you will. (We prefer to refer to it as our Ninja-turtle assassination attempt). I just [...]

Several people are confused about what The Nearby Future is about. “I was confused,” one reader told me before I karate chopped him in the face. “What is this site all about?” Someone else asked before I drop-kicked them over three and a half continents.

In case you don’t know me yet, I’m the newest member of The Nearby Future. So I just finished reading To Kill a Mockingbird and was asking myself why it is considered such great American Liturature.

Don’t lie to yourself- you were one of those people silently chuckling at the Hummer owners at the gas station when gas prices were up. You were one of those people who knew that eventually SUV and Hummer owners would have to own up for the price for their ridiculously tank-like cars. Not today, my [...]
