Jerks of the Week: March 31, 2014 JERK OF THE WEEK: April Fools and April Truths II I was utterly shocked to realize that Jerks of the Week is nearly five years old. What started as a rant about how my date to a wedding ditched me for a barbeque transformed into a major section…

Jerks of the Week: March 24, 2014 JERK OF THE WEEK: Downtown Business Meeting My best friend of 26 years lives in downtown Philly. One of my cousins, Diana, has had a downtown home for about a decade. Yet, I haven’t hung out with the former since this past August, while I haven’t seen Diana…

Jerks of the Week: March 17, 2014 JERK OF THE WEEK: Jerks of the Old Gym It feels good to type “Jerks of the Old Gym.” It’s very comforting. It makes me reminisce about all of the great times I had at my old gym in the past. For instance, I wrote about how I…

Jerks of the Week: Feb. 10, 2014 JERK OF THE WEEK: Week of Hell, Part 1: Stomach Virus I honestly have no idea how I’m typing this right now. I keep running to the bathroom every 10 minutes or so to dump liquid out of my mouth and/or buttocks. Sorry if that made you squeamish,…

Jerks of the Week: Feb. 3, 2014 JERK OF THE WEEK: Cooking with Me I’ve recently realized that I don’t know what the hell I have in my refrigerator. My girlfriend Anti-Facebook Girl and I were too lazy to go anywhere one Friday night in the fall, so we ordered a tomato pie with bacon-and-cheese…

Jerks of the Week: Jan. 27, 2014 JERK OF THE WEEK: Just Wright I don’t really like movies. People look at me like I’m a lunatic when I say that, but I really don’t. I enjoy some movies, but I’m just not a fan overall. I’m much more into TV because I can come back…
