About this ebook

In this collection of 21 essays, Michael deals with the many frustrations and pratfalls that occur in every day life with a disharmonious style all his own. With comical observations based on a childhood wrought with bad horror movies and video games, Michael tackles the adventures of adulthood while still holding tightly to the ideals his childhood self once possessed.
Such topics range from the basics, such as: job interviews, maintaining unhealthy relationships, and financial instability and get into the more obscure like: getting a driver's license photo by a mentally challenged person, traversing the adult video store in search of the perfect gift, or sitting down with a loved one and watching a documentary on sex dolls. Each essay is true and unique with a relatable self-deprecating style of humor to keep you entertained from start to finish.
