Can you believe the stones on that hairless dipshit of a manager for Manchester United? He fired Ronaldo, the greatest striker the world has ever seen. What has he accomplished in football? So he’s won a few titles. In Amsterdam. Big fucking deal. My beloved Cocker Spaniel Bruiser, who is licking his balls right nowContinue reading “Cue Ball Side Pocket”

Don’t Give Up
Don’t ever give up. I still have a handwritten Thank You card signed by Jim Valvano after I donated to his fund. It is hard not to like this coach who achieved such heights only to be stricken down by cancer. He cost me a chance to win a $5000.00 NCAA Basketball pool. For onceContinue reading “Don’t Give Up”
“X” Marks the Spot
In my book Emotions: Not your Mama’s ABC’s!, I list emotions under every letter of the alphabet. Check out my preface and the short story illustrating the letter “X”: X Since I live in one of the nation’s driest areas (Phoenix, Arizona), my first instinct under this difficult heading was xeric, or pertaining to dryContinue reading ““X” Marks the Spot”
I Totally Get It
I’m an asshole. And the older I get, the less patient I am becoming. I don’t like it. I am not a rude, intrusive person by nature, but I think my condition is caused by my perception of time. There isn’t much more of it left after a massive heart attack, a leg amputation, andContinue reading “I Totally Get It”
Pinch Me
I have to make sure I am not seeing things. Did I see a headline that said Kevin Bacon and Kyra Sedgewick told a sob story about losing all their money in the infamous Bernie Madoff’s machinations? Boo fucking hoo. Here is the All-American boy who has been in every movie ever made since heContinue reading “Pinch Me”
Against the Grain
Not everyone is destined to go with the flow, to navigate the road well-travelled. Some examples? How about Billy Hayes walking the opposite direction around the wheel in Midnight Express? That simple gesture was such a powerful moment in the movie where the American prisoner finally decided that he was NOT going along with theContinue reading “Against the Grain”
My Two Cents
I saw a headline that stated, “The Whole World is Furious with NFL for Tom Brady penalty.” Shut the hell up. I posit that 95% of the world could give two shits about that pampered white boy or his even more spoiled wife. She is suing for divorce. Boo fucking hoo. I’m sure you haveContinue reading “My Two Cents”
Go Ask Alice
An electric passenger plane? Very cool. The Israeli-based company that made it has made aviation history. When you think of all the rich assholes who use private planes for meaningless short trips just because they can, this will at least reduce the cost-per-asshole quotient. Alice is her name. The latest greedy bastards to try andContinue reading “Go Ask Alice”
God’s Office Hours
24/7. Anytime, anywhere. You don’t have to be inside a venerable edifice to speak to the Creator. It doesn’t even have to be Sunday. I talk to God all the time. I thank him for things, I offer prayers to those in need, and I am constantly asking for forgiveness. My use of His nameContinue reading “God’s Office Hours”
Mourning
Obviously, I did not post a blog to mark the season-opening loss to the Ohio State Buckeyes. It wasn’t the romp everyone expected, but it was starting to look like if the game were just a bit longer, the score would have been more lopsided. My boys were wearing down against the huge linemen ofContinue reading “Mourning”
