Rotterdam: A Paradise For Those Afflicted by SAD
Rotterdam, The Netherlands – 2012/2013
Hanging out in the second-largest port city in the world. Industrial, bleak and sadly not a prime target for terrorist attacks, I’m not going to lie and say this is a place I’d ever go back to (unless you pay me). So…Rotterdam Tourism Board, if you’re looking to hire a real spin doctor, keep me in mind.

A giant Santa holds an oversized ice-cream cone, ready to share it with a naughty little girl. I mean…Santa is holding a genetically-modified pacifier specifically designed for the fattest well-behaved kid in the universe. I mean…it’s a goth kid’s melting wax Christmas tree because the Christmas spirit infects even the darkest of goths. Oh wait…it’s just a harmless ole butt plug.

A cup of coffee a day…makes the doctor go…makes the…makes…makes you more awake and able to consider how fucking depressed you are.

It doesn’t matter what it looks like these two are doing–I’ll vouch for them–they are not making out on the subway. Making out underground is something only worms do.

Happy Holly Days you dumb motherfuckers.

STOPPPP! Don’t ever go to Rotterdam. I warned you…I went there and all I got was this bad linear haircut and a gigantic permanently outstretched black hand!!

My gracious Dutch host Ditte uses a reverse camera to project a serene landscape of calming light and icy water onto the blank wall of opportunity that constantly stares me in the face. As we speak I continue furiously searching for a way to capitalize on my ample resources.

Excuse me, my owner forgot to pick up my feces. You see, I’m unable as I have no thumbs. I will sit here forever embarrassed, cast as a reminder of the irresponsibility, disrespect and laziness of my human owners. Thanks for stopping by.

Superkerstwinkel at Santa’s Outlet Store…can’t wait to go see that hottie with the genuine expression of surprise on her face…she’s going to be a real catch.

A woman scoops ice into a dirty rag after banging it against the counter in order to prepare the ice for the iced coffee I ordered. Her moderately cute apprentice watches and ponders if there could ever be a more effective way of accomplishing this task.

I went out looking for some Brazilian pizza, maybe even some Australian pizza but unfortunately, this is the closest thing to authentic pizza that I could find…
