THE DEVIL RAN AWAY FROM ME: A declaration of power, authority and war on ordinary life

Last week, the devil ran away from me. No, I’m serious. He took off. Fled. Forrest Gump-style booked it. I was riding the RTD W-Line into work, just like every other morning.

You Are Not Your Final Exams

Earlier tonight, I was preparing for my thesis presentation. Tomorrow at 1:30 p.m., I’ll attempt to defend an academic paper I spent a whole semester writing.
