Sinopse

In a world that often feels chaotic and overwhelming, Something That Happened offers a hilarious and heartwarming escape. With his keen eye for absurdity and his knack for finding humor in the mundane, Matt takes readers on a journey through the trials and tribulations of modern life.

From his daily commute on the New York City subway, where he encounters a cast of eccentric characters and ponders the meaning of life, to his soul-crushing office job, where he battles boredom and bureaucracy, Matt finds adventure and enlightenment in the most unlikely of places. He explores the vastness of the internet, getting lost in endless rabbit holes of information and marveling at the power of technology. He navigates the ups and downs of relationships, from the excitement of new love to the heartbreak of breakups, and searches for true connection in a world that often feels isolating.

Matt's travels take him to far-flung corners of the globe, where he encounters different cultures and ways of life, and gains a new appreciation for the beauty and diversity of the world. He indulges in culinary delights, exploring the culture and politics of food, and ponders the future of food in a changing world. He confronts the challenges of climate change and environmental degradation, and searches for hope in the face of these daunting threats.

Through it all, Matt searches for meaning in life, exploring different philosophies and perspectives, and ultimately finding his own unique path to fulfillment. He embraces the unknown, accepts the inevitability of death, and finds beauty in the uncertainty of existence.

Something That Happened is a collection of essays that will make you laugh, think, and appreciate the absurdity of everyday life. Matt's humor and his unique perspective on the world will stay with you long after you finish reading.

    Mike is a foley artist who traveled from England to work with his friend Dwain—the first foley artist in the porn industry.
     
    On set, Mike finds himself drawn to Chloe, an actress who looks like Marilyn Monroe… if she’d been involved in an industrial accident. The loss of her leg hasn’t stopped Chloe from becoming a top star in Freak Porn.
     
    Inspired by his feelings for her, Mike sets out to bring a touch of artistry to the sleaziest corner of cinema by creating tastefully erotic films featuring abnormally shaped performers.
     
    Dwain, however, sees greater profits on the horizon if they push Freak Porn to its nauseating extreme.
     
    Monster Porn is a disturbing, one-sitting novelette—a transgressive, pitch-black satire of the fetid climate of the porn industry, where ambition rots, art dies, and nothing is too extreme.

    Love That Story - Observations...

    The Emmy-nominated host of Netflix’s Queer Eye follows up his New York Times-bestselling memoir, Over The Top, with this collection of thought-provoking essays on grief and healing, cannabis reform, LGBTQIA+ rights, imposter syndrome, personal style, the HIV safety net, and of, course, how to make your hairdresser love you. 
    In his New York Times-bestselling memoir Over the Top, Jonathan van Ness showed readers how the incredibly difficult moments from his life (surviving sexual abuse and addiction, being diagnosed with HIV) have existed alongside great joy and positivity (landing a breakout role on Netflix’s Queer Eye, becoming an amateur figure skater and professional standup comedian, doting on his five cats). 
    If Jonathan learned anything from the painful life experiences, it’s that in order to thrive, he needed to push past the shame and fear of being his true self, which meant getting comfortable with being uncomfortable. In this candid and curious essay collection, he takes a thoughtful, in-depth look at today’s hot-button issues, viewed through the lens of his personal experience. From the evolution of his signature style to an investigative report on the queer history of his hometown, Jonathan reflects on his life and how he has learned to embrace change—doing the work to challenge internalized beliefs, finding compassion and confidence, and learning more about what makes us all so messy and gorgeous. 
    Balancing the dark and the light, the serious and the madcap, these essays allow us to examine our individual assumptions, expand our horizons, and give ourselves permission to be the flawed and fabulous humans we are.

    Fifty-One Tales is a collection of fantasy short stories by Irish writer Lord Dunsany, a major influence on J. R. R. Tolkien, H. P. Lovecraft, Ursula K. Le Guin and others. Each story is a short vignette, a single moment of strangeness or horror in the face of death.11. DEATH AND THE ORANGETwo dark young men in a foreign southern land sat at a restaurant table with one woman.And on the woman's plate was a small orange which had an evil laughter in its heart.And both of the men would be looking at the woman all the time, and they ate little and they drank much.And the woman was smiling equally at each.Then the small orange that had the laughter in its heart rolled slowly off the plate on to the floor. And the dark young men both sought for it at once, and they met suddenly beneath the table, and soon they were speaking swift words to one another, and a horror and an impotence came over the Reason of each as she sat helpless at the back of the mind, and the heart of the orange laughed and the woman went on smiling; and Death, who was sitting at another table, tete-a-tete with an old man, rose and came over to listen to the quarrel.

    This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.  
    When you can do only one good deed a day, you have to choose wisely. After being blamed for the accidental death of a Gypsy boy-scout, Otis is cursed: he can do no more than one good deed a day. But the curse was cast all wrong. Gypsy boy-scout merit badges were mixed in, resulting in Otis having unusual super skills, such as knife-throwing, fortune-telling, dentistry, salesmanship, and marksmanship, among some of the many. However, these super skills vanish once he's done his good deed of the day. Can Otis overcome the stigma of a person incapable of doing more than good deed a day, win back his girl-friend, and use his super-enhanced skills to stop the chaos created by twitter flash mobs?
