Aaron Polson: On Bullying

http://www.aaronpolson.net/2015/01/on-bullying.html

Thursday, January 1, 2015. I know I've written about bullying before, but recent events have hurt someone dear to me. Please forgive. I'm starting this at 4-something in the morning because I'm mad. In my neck of the woods, we sometimes say "pissed" when one is this mad. Not "pissed" drunk like our friends across the pond, but "pissed off.". Bullies are everywhere and every age, and if they've shed any skin, it's only to grown a more insidious one in its place. Just like the girls at school, adult bullie...

Wanting It" in Shock Totem. Honorable Mention, Best Horror of the Year volume 4. From Joshua Jabcuga (Bookgasm). I was genuinely moved by Polson’s entry, one about nostalgia and memories, and as some of us know, these ghosts of what-was or what-can-never-be-again can create the most haunting experiences of our lives, the kind that no amount of beer can drown, no pill can numb, and the type where no amount of distance or time will help us escape from it. horror at its finest.".

Aaron Polson: On Being from Kansas

http://www.aaronpolson.net/2014/08/on-being-from-kansas.html

Wednesday, August 27, 2014. On Being from Kansas. Here come the Wizard of Oz. And that's the first thing you need to know about being a Kansan.

http://www.aaronpolson.net/2015/04/the-problem-with-living-forever.html

Saturday, April 25, 2015. The Problem with Living Forever. The conversation started one late night (or very early morning) in the summer of 1994.

My best friend and I spent those long summer nights driving aimlessly through our small, sleepy hometown. We played amatuer philosopher during those drives, questioning God, the universe, everything. I don't want to live forever," I said. I've carr...

Aaron Polson: For My Future Granddaughter

http://www.aaronpolson.net/2014/09/for-my-future-granddaughter.html

Monday, September 15, 2014. For My Future Granddaughter. I bought one of these on eBay a few weeks ago:. LEGO 21110 Research Institute. One of the big rules of Lego investing is one should enter at a low price. It's frighteningly like the stock market, at at web sites like Brickpicker.com. So why break such a cardinal rule to get my hands on this set? Do I see the price rising even higher? Look, this isn't a family blog, per se. But no one here is pregnant. From the New York Times.
