The Narcissistic (American) Anthropologist
Someone has to notice
"Drop everything and help solve this problem!" At work, when a situation calls for this request, we call it a "fire drill". I feel like the association of stopping everything to leave the building and avoid a hypothetical death by flame make sense. The term evokes a sense of panic. But what I don't understand … Continue reading Why they call it a firedrill
In the few years I have spent engaging in casual banter with the suburban middle class parents of my wife's voice and piano students, I have learned a few things about appropriate casual conversation topics. I welcome loving additions, but here is a starter-list of appropriate chat topics when engaging with this regional tribe: Gas … Continue reading The rules of suburban banter
I am not a huge sports fan. Nor am I a hockey fan. I but I did some work recently that made me appreciate the value of both from an anthropological perspective. I figured I should get serious every now and again. Here's my first pass. When thinking about how people watch sports, context is … Continue reading Being a good sport is very VERY Canadian
It is official. The day we memorialize our veterans: a seemingly somber "celebration", is also in paradox with the generalized glee we associate with summer beginning. And you don't have to be a kid to appreciate the glee. I still get giddy on days like today, when everyone opens up their pool for the summer … Continue reading Signifiers of Middle Class Summer
I figured what better way to start getting a readership base than to write about Lesbians. People LOVE to read about lesbians! That and I have found some of my own lived experiences to be particularly anthropologically fascinating in nature. Yes, it's true. I have a wife and I am a female. That makes me … Continue reading Lesbians in the Midst…
I would love to see the market research and / or have been in the Ideation session that cast the web for this cross-promotion. My question: what does it all mean? I suppose it supports the idea that Girls can be nerds too! We have seen a generation of girls finally empowered to embrace their … Continue reading Comic Book Movie Promotions Going Girly?
And for my next experiment, i will start a blog! I was recently told by a ten year old who was told by his Dad that Facebook is for Narcissists. I LOVE FACEBOOK! But I think blogs take it one step further. They provide a psuedo-legit outlet for properly curated narcissisim for those who (think … Continue reading The Experiment

Being a popular kid isn't easy,you have to be cautious about every move of yours because you know that all eyes are on you.Not just the eyes that look up to you but also the eyes that love to see you in pain.You might have your own list of followers but with this list there exists the "popularity starved crowd" who wants to replace you.But when reality bites these morons and they're back to square one,hurt and angry with themselves they try to make you the victim of their moment of high adrenaline,just to make you suffer because you're better.They try to clean their head by ruining your perfect life.What's more is right then you realize that none of your "friends" are what they appear to be.You're broken,depressed .You feel the need to talk to someone of your own kind,someone who won't judge you and that's when you can find me at thepopularitébug,I promise to do anything and everything to help you out of your problem!Amen.
