A Will To Survive
I’m 17 and contemplating the benefits of cremation while being driven to the hospital to die. My eyes are stuck on the empty McDonald’s cup sitting in the front console of my parent’s minivan. Momentarily, my mind clears. I look up for a moment and stare vacantly at the highway unfolding up ahead. A fresh layer of snow, blazing in the morning sun, suppresses the mountains that surround my van. The...

Sorry to be crude...
but let me just tell you how much fun it is when someone places me in my wheelchair and I land directly on top my testicles. The feeling is literally painful enough to ruin an entire day.

The Ferris Wheel by Jon Burcaw
My dad, author of The Sidecar Kings (<- click to buy, proceeds benefit the MDA!), has been doing lots of writing lately… about me. When I started reading his stories, I will admit it was a little weird, seeing my life through someone else’s eyes. After I got over that tiny emotional hiccup, something else occurred to me: his stories were excellent.
Without giving too much away,...

30,000 followers. Un-fucking-real.
Never in 1000 years did I think that my stupid little idea to write about myself would turn out to be so unbelievably successful. The past half-year has been the craziest time of my life to say the least.
I just want to thank each and every one of you that has taken the time to follow me and read my blog. I know it sounds cliché, but I don’t really care, because I honestly could not have...

I want to write a new story
Is there anything you guys want to know about me or want me to write about?
Thanks to Jesse, Craig Owens now has a Laughing At...
So… that’s pretty exciting.
I'm only just getting started.
A New Project!
With classes to attend, homework to not do, a nonprofit to start, business meetings to worry about, emails to reply to, a website to make, money to raise, a blog to keep up, a book to write, a new vlog to produce, and the slight resemblance of a social life all on my list of things to do, I decided I should start a new project.
My best friend Jesse, being the creative genius that he is,...

For my artistic followers
The nonprofit I’m starting, Laughing At My Nightmare, Inc., needs a kick-ass logo!
If you like drawing (by hand or computer) and you want to draw up a logo for us, that’d be sick and super-helpful.
Things to consider:
-We are going to be a professional, nationwide organization, so keep it clean :D
-The nonprofit is about raising money for muscular dystrophy research, and promoting...

A Close Call
Yesterday was just a normal day… sort of. Although I’m on winter break, my dad woke me up at 6 AM and helped me get ready for the day, which included putting on sweatpants and a T-shirt, and handing me a cup of coffee with a pink bendy straw. I sat in my living room, mindlessly staring at ESPN, enjoying my coffee, but yearning to be back in the cozy warmth of my bed. If you remember one of my...

Unreal.
Ps- new story tomorrow :D
theatheistincognito asked: Out of curiosity, does your brother really dislike wearing shirts? He's shirtless in nearly every picture/video you post and it kind of makes me imagine that he never wears one... Which is really weird.
