new gold dream

There are people of privilege in this world and as much as I would like it to be different, that is a cold, hard fact of life. When my father finally divorced my mother, my family’s economic situation became less than ideal, but long before that, I knew that we were not people of privilege. … Read more

everyday I write the book

I’ve read a shitload of books in the last few weeks. I really should post reviews of all of them since many of you have read the same books (meimur, I did like bringing down the house tremendously). Of course, if I write and post book reviews, I should also take some time to write … Read more

bust

A few weeks ago the Web was astir with conjecture about the identity of the breasts being sold on E-Bay. Well, actually, the breasts themselves weren’t for sale, just the space overlooking the prodiguous, if not slightly leathery, cleavage. The auction claimed that the cleavage belonged to a celebrity. Now, I dislike liars more than … Read more

smells like teen spirit

I don’t believe in telling anyone what they should and shouldn’t do or should and shouldn’t believe in. For instance, vegetarians. They’re nuttier than a box of granola, but I wouldn’t tell them that they shouldn’t believe the silly idea that eating vegetables exclusively is better than a balanced diet including meat. They, vegetarians, should … Read more

short people

I am both blessed and cursed by smart-ass readers. Leah & Pylorns… little people (the more enlightened name for what you refer to as midgets) are not easily photographed on Maui.

the collector

It’s time for another round of “what do you want to see?” Submit your requests for images of just about anything… I’ll post the pictures here for everyone to see. Update: Forgetting that my readership consists mainly of smart-asses, I should have prefaced the aforementioned call for image requests with the disclaimer that the images … Read more

figured you out

I have many interests as you may or may not know. I’m a voracious reader and know just enough about everything to be dangerous. One of my latest areas of interest is quantum physics. One area of quantum theory that has captured my focus lately is the focus of Dr. Masaru Emoto who wrote the … Read more

you never give me money

In a bizarre twist of fate, I’ve just been assigned these article topics by my publisher: Chinese MedicineNatural HealthOriental Medicine (O.M.D.)Equine Massage Specialist In case you’re sitting there saying, "So?" I said this a little over a month ago. The gods have a way of punishing hubris…

the outsider

I realize that I’m not the typical Maui resident. I’m not a geriatric nor am I a linguistically challenged meathead. Physically, my best days are slowly shrinking in the rear view mirror, but I’m still the sharpest tool in this shed. I’ve been stewing for these last few hours about how incredibly fucktarded some people … Read more
