About
Mis·an·thro·py: \mi-?san(t)-thr?-p?\noun : a hatred or distrust of humankind
To·day \t?-?d?\ adverb 1 : on or for this day 2 : at the present time
Basically it’s a take-off on the names of magazines like Psychology Today or that kind of thing.
It’s a negative arbiter of taste blog.
Misanthropy is not Misogyny, though sometimes this site is a bit of that too.
I’m pretty much just your average substitute school teacher/army strongman/ internet worker. I made this site because I would always get upset at the world and society around me and writing about it helps to free myself of it. Being cynical is healthy, and most cynics are actually very idealistic and innately decent they just get upset at all the bad stuff that gets in the way.
Overall, life is pretty good.
And really, it’s helped me a lot. If you have something you want to get off your chest, start a website. If you’re crazy about Kansas City or tropical fish, start a site about that.
If you’re just pissed off in general, grow a mustache.

If for some reason you’d like to contact me, please use one of the following avenues. By “Avenues” I mean to say methods, and not one of those things you walk down eating frozen yogurt with some new girl you’re dating, looking really stupid and annoying and making snide comments about people who walk by.

Just found your site this evening and find it endlessly amusing. Jolly good show, old man!
Sorry, I should have warned you that I have a predilection to assume a British affectation when congratulating people on humor blogs. It is even more of a compulsion with humour blogs. My therapist, higher power and I are working on that…

My favourite blog, also coincedently the only blog I read.
Andy if the world wasn’t full of idiots everybody would realise the greatness of this blog, then again if the world were not full of idiots you wouldn’t have a lot to write about.
Oh and by the way I share the thing you have about middle-eastern women, most of them are hot. I’m dating a girl of middle-eastern heritage. Just when I thought that there was no such thing as a good person, to my disbelief I met her. I have even tried to prove my ‘No such thing as a good person’ theory but she’s 100% genuine.
How many middle-eastern christians are there I have only met one.
Now I have to put the bible next to a Ballamorie story book to show her they are almost identical.

What do you mean, “Basically it’s a take-off on the names of magazines like Psychology Today or that kind of thing.”?
Are you against the views of Psychology Today writers?

Andy, come out of the closet and tell everyone the truth: you’re a closeted gay who hates the world because you cannot be who you would like to be and it seems like you are nothing but a failure.
Honestly,this is a disastrous blog. The writing is horrid. Please enroll yourself in writing courses. Or better yet, throw yourself off of a building and do the rest of the world a favor.

As a second-generation LA native, fellow misanthropist, and single gay man (who has just found MisanthropyToday, by the way), I will stake out the daring position that I would be thrilled if Andy did turn out to be gay. But I don’t believe he is–at least from a casual perusal of the blog; I intend to do some very serious reading here when I have more time–maybe then I will have a better- considered opinion.
And Andy, your writing is just brilliant, and not disastrous, or horrid, as Tina (above) commented. As someone who has been paid a lot of money to do nothing but write all day, I proudly exclaim how happy I am to find a blog like this: well-written, witty, interesting, and thoughtful. Thank you so much, Andy!

This was a nice new years gift, thank Phillip.
As far as being a closeted gay, i’m not sure why people believe that there are so many closeted gays and why they use that as an insult. Often very “liberal” people will say things like that, without realizing I guess.
Again, thanks again. Made my hungover new years afternoon.
You’re welcome. Happy 2011!
This section of the blog might not be the proper place for philosophical discourse on sociological phenomena. Having said that, however, I believe the inevitability of full legal equality, regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity, is slowly dawning on extremists of every ilk. This realization has created an atmosphere where vicious rhetoric against gays and lesbians has greatly increased, in a sort of desperate “last stand” (similar to the hissing and scratching of a cornered, wounded animal).
Slurs, insults, and violence against gays (and others perceived to threaten the hegemony of patriarchy and the dominant culture) have become the last “acceptable” outlet for people struggling with either: (a) the contemplated loss of their privileged position in society (i.e., “Whom can we scorn if those fa–ots are no longer fair game?”); and/or (b) insecurities, doubts, or anxiety about their own sexual identity.
So, Andy, since you appear confident and secure in your identity, you become part of the “threat”–hence the “insult” regarding sexual orientation.
Just sayin’. . . .

Gah, this blog is fucking awesome – I didn’t even realise it was a blog written by just one person at first such is the extent of its awesomeness. You write about so much relevant everyday bullshit, which in turn you beautifully crush to pieces with sense.
I can’t tell you how relevant some of the posts on here are to one of my current writing projects.
