art school confidential

You know what crushes my nuts in the vice of life? Elitists. Doesn’t matter what kind or what discipline… anyone who knocks anything (and here I am knocking something so the irony is not lost on me) that they feel is beneath them down is an elitist. I began my unrequited hate of elitists around the time I entered college… in case you didn’t know, I attended an art college.

rainbow warrior

I have a post formulating in my head, but need a little more time to work it out. In the meantime, you might notice that I am posting more images than I normally do. Well, I am going to try to take advantage of my surroundings and focus my creative energy into more worthwhile pursuits. … Read more

writing on the wall

I wonder what kind of person likes to spray paint their name or mark on things. Are these people so insecure? Are they so in love with their artistic abilities (for lack of a better phrase) that they feel compelled to share with the rest of the world? I know in some of the more … Read more

tree and out

Recently Maui County began building a sort of boardwalk along a portion of Ma’alaea Beach (north of Kihei) adjacent to Kealia Pond. It hasn’t officially opened because, like a lot of things that happen on "island time," it isn’t finished yet. So far, it has been under construction for close to three years. One thing … Read more

migration of the grey goose

The geriatrics that fly to hawaii for the winter are here! I always enjoy seeing them on the beach because unlike a great many baby boomers, these folks still enjoy getting out, socializing and living life to the fullest. I hope that I am still able/willing to shake my fat ass out to the beach … Read more

Inc (bought them out in March 2005) and now they MUST create a YAHOOID in order to access the site. On top of that, the threshold for contacts is being lowered (albeit significantly). Now, i fucking hate … Read more

hooker with a penis

I know I have said it before, but it bears repeating… LATIN WOMEN ARE FUCKING CRAZY. If they aren’t cutting penises off with rusty razors, they are kidnapping people for ransom, stabbing their loved ones in the chest, or participating in other criminal misadventures. I would love to get a research grant to study my … Read more

waste not, want not

A few days ago, the Red Queen came home from her trip visiting her family in New Jersey and said something to me that still really chaps my ass. She had a conversation with her brother and his wife and somehow she mentioned that I didn’t recycle and that by extension, she didn’t either. According … Read more

idiot’s guide to getting your ass kicked

Since I am probably the only person of color who frequents this site, so let me opine… Unless you have ever been the victim of racial discrimination, overt or covert, it is hard to grasp the feeling one gets from being singled out because you are NOT white. After a while, because you have been … Read more

hannibal’s book of death

There is rumors that Bush wants to INCREASE the number of troops in Iraq rather than bow to the political pressure at home and abroad to withdraw completely. At the risk of giving the impression that I’m a fan of G-Dub, let me say that I think if winning the war is important, a total … Read more
