little things

It’s almost the end of the year. I’ve composed a list of things I want to do. This isn’t a Resolutions type list because lets face it, resolutions are made to be broken and I have no intention of resolving to do these things… I just wish to do them at some point. I have … Read more

youth of the nation

I’m busier than a $5 hooker on payday on the docks! Sorry about the lack of posting, but I am formulating a rather rant-filled piece about evolution vs intelligent design vs compassionate humanism… and it is a doozy. I’m sure to insult just about every one of you at least once… I’m sure you’re all … Read more

a pain that i’m used to

Around the time that my father finally decided to end his marriage with my mother, just about anyone could have told you that her grasp of reality was slipping. She was a pathological liar, she was sleeping with at least three different men, would accuse her children of various slights, and exhibited behavior that would … Read more

doesn’t remind me

I’ve spent quite some time between posts doing things I should be doing as opposed to things I’d rather be doing. I’ve redesigned and rebuilt my portfolio site from the ground up, started building a new client’s web space, and tried to keep up with my writing assignments from my publisher. I’ve also taught myself … Read more

the jack

Nothing is more irritating than failing to live up to your own expectations. Lots of people feel perfectly at ease functioning at or below expectations… I am not one of those people. I’ve a broken rib and it prevents me from being myself at present. I’ve broken plenty of bones over the course of my … Read more

keep on rocking in the free world

You know something that I can’t get my head around? Dumb fuckers who are buzz killers. I know, kind of vague, but I didn’t want to miss anyone. Here are the dumb fuckers who I would slap the shit out of if I was ever presented with the opportunity… 10. Anyone who throws pies as … Read more

love the one you’re with

In the previous post, Dawn was curious about my reference to infidelity. I used infidelity in my analogy to child rearing, but I equate everything to an understanding of principle over mechanics. For instance, you don’t need to own a tiger to know that a tiger could kill you. My analogy was directed from that … Read more

gone baby gone

Not that anyone would notice such things, but I’m currently light on posting because my brother, his wife and son, Damian are in town. Damian is two and change, and is already exhibiting the kind of athletic talent that his father possessed at his age. The kid can throw a football, appropriately sized for his … Read more

tragedy

The world view of most people can best be represented by shades of grey. They tend to prefer grey areas as it allows wiggle room just in case they make a mistake… they can point to the varying shades and say, “well, I didn’t say X or Y, so I can’t be blamed.” I, on … Read more

ebony and ivory

Dawn requested an image of the Red Queen and I and this is the only picture I have on my computer that shows us both and in a relatively flattering light. It was taken shortly before we moved to Maui in 2004. As you can see, I’m a dirty mexican and she’s a lily-white girl. … Read more
