you’re a mean one

Going forward, when someone tells me that I’m mean, I’ll simply direct them to this. Comparatively speaking, I’m not THAT mean.

boo to the yah

I don’t get excited easily when it comes to my home town sports teams. I mean, sure, the chargers are a perennial playoff team, the padres have made consistent pushes deep into october a handful of times in the last 25 years, but I don’t really get too worked up because I know that San … Read more

older, no wiser

I’ve been knee deep in two projects for the last week or so. If you noticed my failure to launch these last few days, that’s pretty much why. I don’t mind being busy, but sometimes, when I get really overwhelmed by work, I tend to listen to…

stay away from the light

When I was in high school, most of my friends, and all of my acquaintances were a good deal like me. While they weren’t nearly as mean, they definitely found a great deal of fun to be had this side of the good book. Most, if not all, had broken at least 7 of the … Read more

I don’t watch much TV… well, I do catch entire seasons of TV shows on DVD. Today though I was watching the Discovery Channel when I came across the most amazing TV show ever.

bringing down the horse

Nobody’s Listening I used to dig into the news every day when I woke up. Whether it was pouring over the newspaper with a cup of coffee, or perusing the news sites on the web with a cup of coffee, I always kept on top of the latest local, national, sports, and political news. On … Read more

craving caffeine

Black Coffee When I was younger, I had absolutely no problem partaking in a variety of risky pursuits. Whether it was repelling off 400′ high pedestrian bridges, drinking until I pass out, or smoking enough to put a medicine man in a coma, I really didn’t think much about the consequences. As I got older, … Read more

it’s beginning to feel a lot like 1938

I was wondering why it took so long for the mass media to discover how many people who buy into the whole TEA PARTY agenda are actually racist. Unfortunately, the public shaming of one of their leaders simply drives the racists back underground… or into Arizona & Nevada where racism is part of their state … Read more
