Two long years ago, I launched CoffeyGrind.com in order to pick up a hobby that was fun, mentally challenging and, if at all possible, not completely illegal. I can proudly say that (so far) I have been successful and, although I did not post as many entries in the last year as I did the year before I have still made what I would like to think of as a valiant effort to entertain, offend and occasionally disgust the small handful of unfortunate people who have inadvertently stumbled across my wee-little site.
As was the case with the previous year, this last years-worth of blog entries is a collection of essays mainly about things that boil my blood but with a pinch of self-deprecation sprinkled in for fun. If you really don't have the time to read all of them, allow me to sum it up for you:
I am a Twitter-hating Conservative Republican who understands business-speak, doesn't believe in luck, sucks at maintaining his car and would love to see most Social Studies teachers be put to death by stuffing a hungry wolverine into their pants.
There. You're all caught up now.
To wrap things up this year I would like to thank all the people that made this blog possible. For the last two years, these unsung heroes have provided the fuel for this blog and by doing so, I suppose, have become... sung. I mean really, now that I think of it, I have written entire articles about them, so why do I need to write more? What kind of attention-whores are these people?
Well... I guess I don't have any better ideas for this entry anyway, so I'll stick with thanking people, so here goes nothing...
Thank you Megan Fox. Just... thank you.
Bacon... what can I say about you that has not already been said? No other meat moves me the way you do. You are the wind beneath my wings. By "wind" here, I mean "cholesterol"; and by "beneath" I mean "in"... and by "wings" I mean "all my major arteries". I love you. Call me.
Thank you brain. You are insecure, and yet somehow you let me share some of the most embarrassing moments (and photos) from my youth. Because of your obvious dysfunction, I have been able to write some of my favorite blog entries. Keep it up!
Morons. You are the subject of so many of my entries that I cannot, in good conscience, leave you out. My hatred for you is so strong that it can almost physically manifest itself, but I cannot deny the rich source of comedic material you provide and so, I thank you, but not as much as I need to thank the service that brings you to me...
Finally... Thank you Long Island Rail Road. Without you, and the almost incomprehensibly stupid people that ride your trains, I would not have nearly as many entries as I do. For 15 of the years that I have ridden the LIRR I considered these people an annoying distraction from the things that made my commute tolerable. Now, however, I cannot wait for my next interaction with them so I can belittle them here. Your seemingly never-ending stream of morons and the completely inappropriate things that they do and say is, without question, the greatest source of inspiration for my blog. Thank you so very much. You are my muse.
And so, with that out of the way, one more year of CoffeyGrind comes to a close, and another begins. What will next year bring? Will Megan Fox still be stupid-hot? Will morons still be plentiful? And will the LIRR continue to pack them onto a train with me every day?
Who knows? But since, as I am typing this, there is a man on the train clipping his toenails, I would say the future looks bright.

Brilliant. Simply brilliant. Brilliant in its simplicity, honesty, depth, and accuracy. Brilliant.
Brilliant.
Thanks Rob. Your comment is just... brilliant.
Post something new already, slacker!
Ok ok... fine... done.
