Four (more) tourists have been swept away from this sphere of existence when they were swept out to sea off the coast of Tenerife. While I am saddened any time someone passes on, I would have been one of the dumbasses who appreciates my life a bit more. I would NOT have chosen to ignoreContinue reading “My Take”

All the Same to Me
How’s that expression go about poking a bear? The official Black Lives Matter Instagram account has posted a video clip that appears to propose violence as a solution in response to the recent murder of a pizza worker in Charlotte, North Carolina. And she’s not even black. Do you think that wild animals being heldContinue reading “All the Same to Me”
Seriously, Folks
Rack ‘em Up
If you are having girlfriend problems…. No problem. Just leave. End of story. But DON’T throw her overboard into the ocean knowing that she does not know how to swim. That’s just downright rude. Helen Hunt feels really good about rejecting Hollywood’s beauty standards, but it’s not like she was ever a raging beauty inContinue reading “Rack ‘em Up”
Make Up Your Mind(s)
Crime seemed way out of control. Republicans blamed Democrats and in many regards, it is coming to light they were closer to the truth than they appeared. We got it in the form of schools and other youthful institutional settings. And the body count kept on climbing… Respect for law enforcement was at an all-timeContinue reading “Make Up Your Mind(s)”
Ready, Set…
Talk about lazy. The storyline is why a certain union leader, who once backed Kamala Harris, the Democratic nominee who failed in her bid to defeat Donald Trump in the recent presidential election, has switched to supporting Donald Trump. It doesn’t take a genius (although, ahem, you happen to be in luck) but I willContinue reading “Ready, Set…”
Alright Already!
Our president has made an unpopular move and I happen to agree with him on this. What’s the big deal about him proposing a bill for voters to show proof of U.S. citizenship? That is the minimum requirement you need to vote to have your voice count in the American voting process. You can’t justContinue reading “Alright Already!”
Red Flags
Your wife is always “too tired” and is totally fine with you going without her. Red flag. Last-minute and pop-up plans are met with a smile and a wistful, “oh well.” Red flag. You decide to drive to a club to go out drinking with your buddies. Red flag. There are too many options thatContinue reading “Red Flags”
Shameless
Just when I start to think I’ve seen it all… A man on the moon. A presidential assassination. A black president. A failed American coup. A presidential candidate selling bibles to raise money. Look, you start to get desperate when you are down to your last seven billion dollars. Cuts have to be made. He’llContinue reading “Shameless”
The Princess of Las Vegas
In my tumultuous wild ride in Sin City, a brief, but colorful segment was occupied working as a waiter in a high-end casino restaurant on the world-famous Strip. Talk about characters. Comps were everywhere, as I am sure they are today. (author’s note: I have not been back to Vegas since I left in 1981)Continue reading “The Princess of Las Vegas”
