don’t let the sun go down on me

by

The maui film festival recently ended, but not before I had a chance to take yet another in a long line of pictures of sunsets. During the festival this year, we saw two relatively interesting films. The first was I Could Never Be Your Woman and the second was La Môme, or as it is … Read more

bloody well right

by

[xspf]_start(FALSE, ‘order=13-20’)[/xspf] I am starting to collect a list of my favorite posts. On the menu in the top right of this page is a link to the best of me. Perhaps you remember something I have written that you found funny, interesting, or worth highlighting. Let me know and I will include it. I … Read more

the color of justice

by

Our society lost its way in the late 80s. We started to deify celebrity to such an extent, we began to lose focus about truly important issues. Around the same time white apologists began a campaign to “right the wrongs” of their culture by calling attention to the many injustices whites held over blacks. The … Read more

stupid girl

by

I am sure some of you will find this insulting, but people are not only lazy, but they are oftentimes stupid. Stupid because so many people are not willing to exert a little energy to verify things before they go off half-cocked into the world.

As a child, outside of the incessant worrying about this shadow or that noise, the prevailing thought on a new mind is that the world is big. So big that it can’t all be taken in at once. Every turn of the head, every … Read more

six months in a leaky boat

by

[xspf]_start(FALSE, ‘order=4’)[/xspf] Ok, now that I have that out of my system, onward and upward. Living in Hawaii has taken a toll on me. I once read an article about living in warm climates and how you should move before you get acclimated because it makes you soft. I thought it was hooey. But, it … Read more

mom is a four letter word

by

My mother is (was? i am not sure, I haven’t spoken to her for more than 15 years) a pathelogical liar. This is a condition that I became aware of rather early. When my father would come home and she would make up stories about how my brothers and I had misbehaved to explain the … Read more
