Hi. My name is Rob Kroese, AKA "Diesel." This is my blog. It has many words in it,
which are arranged in an intentionally amusing manner. I don't update it much any
more on account of IT WAS TAKING OVER MY LIFE. But hey, there's plenty of good
stuff in the archives. If you're new here, start with some of my Most Popular
Posts. And if you like that stuff, feel free to buy my novel. All proceeds go
toward proving to my junior high school teachers that I'm not a huge failure.
And if you're still not convinced, read a sample chapter here.
It's awesome.

There are not, at present, very many good reasons to live in Michigan. The weather blows, the roads are terrible, and even the state's admittedly successful strategy to avoid the economic ups and downs that have plagued other states has consisted pr... [Read the full post]

So lately I've been trying to catch up on reading other peoples' blogs, and one of the inevitable consequences of that activity is me being irritated by how dumb some people are.Before I continue, I should explain that I myself am an idiot. A few da... [Read the full post]

So my last post got me called a misogynist, which is rather unfair, since I don’t hate women so much as I hate people in general. That’s why my blog has the sub-heading "Antisocial Commentary." I even wrote a book with that title. I’m not sure how... [Read the full post]

I've decided that I hate memes. In case you're not familiar with blogging lingo, a meme is the blogging equivalent of a chain letter. Usually you’re instructed to answer some silly questions on your blog and then “tag” five or six other bloggers. Th... [Read the full post]

You wouldn't think that someone who has spent the past 14 years living with me would have trouble coming up with tears, but for some reason Mrs. Diesel has chronically dry eyes. For this condition she uses eye drops called "artificial tears."There ar... [Read the full post]

He wore a checkered blazer. Not exactly gaudy, but not exactly stylish. His hair was gelled but slightly mussed. Overall, he gave the impression of a man who cared about his appearance but not enough to shower regularly. If this weren't 1993, I might... [Read the full post]
