This is the Jpas origin story: the 2012–2013 school year. I walked into the lunchroom, ready for my beloved Bosco sticks… but they were gone.

Devastated, I told my parents about this absolute blasphemous event. They explained it was because of a school lunch policy pushed by Michelle Obama, and now we were getting healthy meals instead. I cannot be more serious about how much this shaped my hatred for politicians.

Her brother played high school travel basketball with Allen Iverson!?!?!?? Like the 2001 NBA MVP, and coldest crossover of all time Allen Iverson??

I was the only person reading a book on the treadmill/bike when I did cardio after my workouts at the gym. A few weeks before the new year a girl I’d never seen bring a book before, got on the treadmill next to me and had a book. Today, after leg day, I walked into the cardio area and saw two different people reading on the bikes. Both of them even nodded at me as I walked by.

I have started a movement.

Feels good to no longer be a Tom Brady moving forward 1 yard on a QB kneel.

Jalen the Reader is on page 3 of 368 of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The IDW Collection, Volume 5
They show all the issues this volume has in the first few pages. Let me just say that if half this volume is actually Ghostbusters/TMNT, then we are in for an all time great multiverse crossover and will immediately be in the Jpas Hall of Fame.

About half way through, and some guy is wearing a cowabunga t-shirt. I’m getting closer to Nirvana everyday.

Sorry to all my fans on the delay. Unfortunately New York has been in peril to kick off 2025 and that had to be handled first. Speaking of peril, if my Unc ever tricked me into putting on a ring that instantly sent me to Narnia I wouldn’t call him my Unc from that point forward. Also if Aslan doesn’t sound like Liam Neeson in my head while reading this, ima lose my cool.

This book reminds of a Mr. Beast video. A quick tease at the start, followed up by 30 minutes of brain eroding content. This might be the first book I don’t finish this year, but you never know, I am the GOAT for a reason.

Nah, this scene is god damn brilliant. More layers to this neon snake scene than in a Jay-Z bar. This shit better be in the movie. Dr. Gaul is an animal on the turf.
