I learned early. I am six years-old on the back of my brother’s Honda Cub and we are winding through narrow Japanese dirt streets lined with vendors of all types: Household goods. Meat. Fish. Electronics (such as they were in 1960 Japan). Restaurants. Brothels. Yep, right there next to the tent that was selling frozenContinue reading “A Whole Other World”

Songwriting Class II
“When it’s too tough for you, it’s just right for me.” Words I was raised on. My big brother. He was the star high school player and I was a slow eighty-pound guard on our Pee Wee Pop Warner football team on Tachikawa Air Force Base. After school, I would head to football practice asContinue reading “Songwriting Class II”
I LOVE GOOGLE!
Okay. Since I wrote that I hated Google previously, I feel obliged to backtrack on my stance. After writing about how inept my situation was being handled, come to find out, it was ME who was fucking up and I kept getting my passwords jumbled. I still do not use it as the “end allContinue reading “I LOVE GOOGLE!”
Once Again I Was Right
Too much, too soon. America, in it’s zeal to stand up on a soap box, beat its chest, and proclaim: “We are inclusive, open-minded, and the United States of America embraces everyone and everything under the sun,” blah, blah, blah… Really? With identity such a hot topic, I hear hate speech every day it seems.Continue reading “Once Again I Was Right”
More of Mark’s Musings
So that dumbass crook Clarence Thomas still has his nice house, millions of grafted dollars, and he sits on the Highest Court in the Land. Give me a fucking break. Lying, cheating, money-grubbing worm of a man and he sits on the Highest Court in the Land. What the hell is wrong with this country?Continue reading “More of Mark’s Musings”
Quitting
Don’t do it. Boom! I solved that one, now moving on… We are taught never to quit when we are growing up. “Finish what you started,” man, there are a hundred quotes all urging us to never quit. What if you are doing something bad? Quitting, in my childhood, wasn’t even on the options list.Continue reading “Quitting”
My Take
I know Karen will give me a big load of crap for this, but if you ignore the stupidity, if you can look past the racism, if you can see beyond the lies, Lauren Boebert has a pretty nice body. I think she is a one-term dumbass. But she does have a pretty nice body.Continue reading “My Take”
Abandonment
This will probably be the fastest blog I will ever type since I am so passionate about the subject. What the fuck is wrong with people? I have bragged about how nice the people out here are, and just when its safe to go into the water, an idiot has damned her soul to aContinue reading “Abandonment”
The More Things Stay the Same
Mass shooting number one thirty-one just came and went in Tennessee at a private Christian elementary school. That’s 132 in the first three months of the year. We are always claiming some sort of political-moral supremacy and we go out on a daily basis looking every bit like Lord of the Flies is the AmericanContinue reading “The More Things Stay the Same”
In The Doghouse (again)
It doesn’t happen quite as much anymore, but I still find myself undergoing the silent treatment and the slow burn, even after I wisely, preemptively, apologize. I don’t take nearly as long as I used to delivering my mea culpa. That’s just wasted time. When I am wrong, I’m wrong. It only took most ofContinue reading “In The Doghouse (again)”
