Assclown
2007-09-14 10:01:00 We all have them in our lives. As co-workers, neighbors, friends of friends, in-laws (hopefully) distant relatives and (probably) not-so-distant relatives. Assclowns. Yep. It’s the brother-in-law who is going to get you see the light that your drinking American beer contributes to global warning. The co-worker who never does their job but gets raises and ...
A Small Request
2007-09-13 10:01:00 (My buddy Reggie, sent this to me in an email and I wanted to pass it on. WC ) As I reflect on this photograph, I see once again that not all the brave leave the “home of the brave” to enter battle; some are required now to be the brave of the home It is ...

Different
2007-09-12 10:01:00 Early in life, I learned that I was different. And it wasn’t something I wanted to be. I longed to be like everyone else. I wanted to play with the cool kids, like roller skating, play with Barbie dolls and do all the things that normal little girls do. Instead, I read books while sitting ... More About: Diff
I Remember Deborah
2007-09-11 10:01:00 Her father still remembers his firstborn daughter as an infant, asleep on his chest, safely enclosed in his protective arms. He remembers her childhood games, of hoola hoops and bicycle rides - her first words, first steps. Her friends remember her without time or goodbyes. The quick smiles and laughs they shared. The closeness despite the ...
Meet Your Candidates!
2007-09-09 10:01:00 I guess you could say that election 2008 is in full swing now. At least, that’s what the media seems to think. Yawn. I don’t know about you, but I can’t really get excited about any of them, regardless of race, creed, political persuasion, dietary needs or style sense. Nonetheless, let me introduce them: Barak, jr. senator ... More About: Politics , Candidates , Meet , Candidate
The Missing Link
2007-09-08 10:01:00 The long search is apparently come to an end. After decades of fruitless investigations, Popeye’s mother has been found in a small, rural assisted living facility in the south. As would be expected, the 150 year old woman starts her day with a big bowl of spinach and a pack of Lucky Strikes. And has ... More About: Link , Missing , Missi
Things You Should Never Say to a Woman
2007-09-07 10:01:00 1. Who did that to your hair? (Okay, we already know that our hair looks hideous and that the evil hairdresser or our bad tempers have wreaked havoc - no need to remind us. In fact, if you do - you may end up as hairless as the Taco Bell dog.) 2. Your time of ... More About: Woman , Things , A Woman
Mad As Hell
2007-09-05 10:01:00 I’ve had it. I’m done. I’m done with petty people and their petty games. I am done with nasty sniping remarks that cut you to the quick. With small minded, insipid, incompetent boobs who think they can run the world when they can’t even run a vcr. I’m done with know it alls who think ... More About: Politically Incorrect , Hell
The Truth Hoits
2007-09-04 10:01:00 Sometimes life gives us an unexpected laugh and there is nothing sweeter than something that erupts from our bellies and brings tears to our eyes. What a delight, especially when it’s from a source that takes itself so very seriously. For these folks, might I suggest some more quality control and testing? Gotta love how the ...

Mystery Melon Theatre - The Final Chapter
2007-09-03 10:01:00 Okay, so I know you’ve been dying to find out what my mystery plant turned out to be. Yep, it’s a cantaloupe. Or rock melon as A-Mum would say. After weeks of examination, observance and obsession - I have/had a cantaloupe plant. The fruits of my unintended labor are pictured above. I must say though it ...

The Smaller Picture
2007-09-02 19:50:00 Ever get stuck in the smaller picture? Everyone is always talking about the bigger picture - getting perspective. Makes sense, yes? Then why can’t we seem to do it? Since I was a kid, I always heard that line in one form or another. Get over it. There are more fish in the sea. ... More About: Life , Picture
He Said, He Said
2007-09-01 10:01:00 The last few days, the news has been full of the story of Senator Craig for his scandalous admission to disorderly conduct. Since I didn’t know much about it, I listened to the various talking head radio dudes discuss it. Apparently there is some guy named Michael Rogers who is somehow responsible for ‘outting’ the ...

Life?s a Beach
2007-08-31 02:15:00 The west coast, or least my part of it is trying to see its way through a wicked heat wave. There was another a couple of weeks ago but it seemed pretty quick and relatively painless compared to this one. We all bugged out of work early today for various reasons, but chief among them was ... More About: Life , Beach
How?d You Do on Your Driver?s Test?
2007-08-29 10:01:00 I really hate tests, though I’m usually pretty good at them. Then there are some folks who are just faking it. What’s really scary is that these are real answers given by real attendees of Traffic School given by the California Department of Transportation. Although, it sure can make you feel smart once you read ... More About: Humor , Driver , Test
Full Moon on the Rise?
2007-08-28 10:01:00 I don’t know about you, but there are a lot of folks who will exclaim “Must be a full moon” whenever they witness odd, strange or outright bizarre behavior. I’m definitely one of them. To be honest, I’ve know idea if there is anything correct in that estimation as far as science is concerned. There ... More About: Humor , Full Moon , Moon , Full , Rise
Beware!
2007-08-26 10:01:00 So, the other day I turned on my cell phone (I only turn it on when I’m going to call someone or when I’m driving, in case there is an emergency) and I saw that I had a bunch of text messages. This was odd, since I don’t send text messages and only get them ... More About: Beware
A World of Our Own?
2007-08-24 10:01:00 Technology is a beautiful thing. The conveniences it has given us and the simplicity it has made of once tedious work is nothing short of miraculous. But, in the words of one of my readers - are we enjoying the technology or is it enjoying us? We have so many gadgets to give us creature comfort ... More About: World , Random Thoughts
Time to Manage
2007-08-23 10:01:00 A couple of decades ago, or maybe longer, there was a big whoop dee doo about time management. Whole industries sprung up from that concept. I think somebody wrote a book or maybe several somebodies did because it sure caught on. Now you can’t go in a bookstore without a million books on how ... More About: Time , Manage
How Hot Is It?
2007-08-22 10:01:00 Words drip, sweat and mix metaphor with similie syntax liquid in its oozing ekes with panted breath fire combusting from sun parched ideas into molten lines of nonsensical sentences shrieking for waves of cool, clear thoughts floating on frozen dacquiries and donning umbrellas to shield the mind from mean summer smog-choked concepts and dream of winter’s words and woolen coats whose pockets are filled to the brim with stories that warm the heart.

Space the Final Frontier?
2007-08-21 10:01:00 In recent years there has been a lot made of space. Not the NASA kind of space. Not the Star Trek kind of space. Or parking spaces or office spaces or even line spaces. Personal space. Know what I mean? As in: I need my space. Gimme some space. You’re invading my space. Gotta find ... More About: Humor , Space , Final , Politically Incorrect , Tier

I Think my Job is Making me Sick
2007-08-18 01:33:00 I went home from work early yesterday and took a sick day today. I’ve just been feeling crappy. Aching, exhausted, light-headed and just generally beat to hell. It’s probably just the heat and not being hydrated enough. Since I (conveniently) work in a doctor’s office, they took my vitals and everything checked out. Could be ...

Lights! Camera! Action!
2007-08-16 10:01:00 A newbie on my blogroll (and a fabulous writer btw) Paul, wrote a post a while back where he talked about life being a movie. The whole idea tickled me and I’ve been thinking about it. If you aren’t a movie star, a dare-devil or a railroad tramp, life is boring and lacks adventure for ...

Summertime and the Livin? is Easy?
2007-08-15 10:01:00 For as long as I can remember one of my favorite songs was Summertime . Whether it was Lena Horne or Otis Redding, or anyone else who could belt one out, singing it. I think it’s one of the best songs ever written because it so thoroughly expresses the feeling of summertime. The hot days and ... More About: Easy
IPhone - I-Insane
2007-08-14 10:01:00 I guess I’m kind of old fashioned, since I’m not one of those people who wait with distraction for the next great technological gadget to hit the market. Unlike, apparently, millions. Before the Iphone was released people were camping on line at Best Buy, Circuit City or wherever the heck they sell the thang, ... More About: Insane
Is it All About Ego?
2007-08-13 10:01:00 A couple of years ago I made an observation which I found startling. I worked for a couple of fellows who were very talented artistically, but where awful businessmen. The constant juggling and borrowing from Peter to pay Paul, drove me, their general manager, nuts. I couldn’t understand how they could operate that way, much less ... More About: Random Thoughts
We Remember
2007-08-12 10:01:00 Last year I stumbled upon this website and was truly touched by what I read. A blogger decided to put together a tribute for all the 911 victims and called it Project 2996. I signed up to do a tribute on this blog and pulled the name of a NYC fireman - Steve Mercado. You ...
Do You Fake It?
2007-08-10 10:01:00 This morning I was listening to the usual radio station that wakes me everyday. The hosts, Foxy and Valentine, always have a topic of the day and today’s topic was women faking orgasms. Apparently, a study claimed that 70% of all women fake orgasms on a regular basis. WTF? Are you kidding me? What I found ... More About: Fake
