The Angry Astronaunt


Why did I have to be named Yoshi It’s the only Japanese name that Americans recognize Named after some stupid Mario Brothers character Yes, my name is Yoshi I was not born in Japan I was born in Connecticut Don’t be surprised that I don’t have an accent I do happen to speak four languages with fluency I graduated at the top of my class at MIT I read A Brief History of Time before you rotated your first tire I’m smarter than you and I’m not afraid to tell it to your face Sorry if I seem bitter I'm orbiting the earth at 17,500 miles an hour And I have space crabs

I’m just a blue collar guy from Omaha, Nebraska. I like punk rock and foreign art house movies but I’m catholic and a conservative who voted for Trump. It puts me at odds with all the artsy hipsters. I don’t really fit in anywhere. Artsy people are all atheists and liberals and conservatives don’t like the art I like. Being different sucks. I really don’t get along with anyone.
