I live in the city of Stamford, Connecticut, a suburb of New York City.

Recently I had the chance to write for StamfordCTGuides, one of the (if not the) biggest unofficial Stamford community websites.

The topic is “10 Interesting Facts About Stamford (according to Wikipedia).” Check it out…

There’s one more fact I had included originally, but I had to cut it out because I thought it might be too offensive. Naturally I’ll share it right here…

11) “Italians represent the biggest ethnicity in Stamford. So that’s why there are so many car horns going off all the time! I thought people in this city were rude. Turns out they’re just picking up their dates.”

I also had one about girls getting violated in the city’s parking garages, but I can’t remember exactly how it went. Oh well.

Hi. My name is Tom. From 2006 until earlier this year, I wrote about music for the website Shoutmouth.com. Unfortunately that site changed formats and stopped covering music, and my dream of being the world’s least influential music writer came to an end. But luckily, the time I spent writing there helped me realize what is perhaps my greatest talent in life: Taking important and serious topics and making jokes about them. Yes, discussing society’s most pressing issues in an inappropriate, flippant and usually offensive manner is my specialty. In addition, I also like to discuss hot chicks and throw in references to 90s rock bands whenever possible.

Take This Seriously is about that. It’s about life, society, the news, world issues, hot chicks, inappropriate jokes, and Candlebox.

Welcome to the site.
