As you may, or may not know, I was not blessed with a plethora of patience. And that was at birth. Now add seventy years’ worth of life on planet Earth, and I have next to zero left in the tank. I’ve always had a hard time with stupidity. Ignorance is hard to find faultContinue reading “Patience, My Ass!”

No More Excuses
Finally. The very best thing about watching my beloved Manchester United Devils beat down the Toffees of Everton, I liked more what was said BEFORE the match even started at storied Old Trafford on a beautiful sunny day in Manchester. “We have no more excuses if we don’t beat Everton on Sunday.” That from theContinue reading “No More Excuses”
Stealing
There are all sorts of crimes and taking something that is not yours is the absolute lowest. I have more respect for a murderer than a thief. Now before you get all puffed up and froggy, I recognize the difference between ill-gotten gain and a necessity to survive for those desperate enough to try andContinue reading “Stealing”
The One That Got Away
We all have one. That one special person, maybe even your very first crush that turned into a boyfriend-girlfriend situation. But then something happened. Life. You moved, they moved, whatever. As a military dependent living with a very ambitious Staff Sergeant in the United States Air Force, we travelled a lot. It was our lastContinue reading “The One That Got Away”
Love/Hate
I love it when I see film reels of people untangling little penguins all the way up to whales from fishermen’s netting. I am a fish lover, but I will stop cold turkey if it will get you dumbasses to quit using the ocean like your personal garbage dump. I hate that. I love itContinue reading “Love/Hate”
Wingman
Everybody needs one. Maverick had Iceman and my high school wingman (at least in ninth grade anyway) was a girl actually, named Molly Fletcher. We both lived in government housing on the US Air Force base Upper Heyford about seventy miles from London. Her father worked as some sort of “defense consultant” and my stepfatherContinue reading “Wingman”
Magic
I am amazed at magicians and their antics, I admit. I will also add that doing drugs while watching magic enhances the experience (if ever there was a redundant statement). Do you remember Doug Henning, the cool young magician dude from the eighties? How about David Copperfield? I once “accidentally” took a double dose ofContinue reading “Magic”
It’s Only My Opinion, But…
I think if you are going to have tattoos, you need to have gig guns like the Rock, not those little white skinny punk rock junkie arms. I very much understand people and their insane need for validation, but some clothes are not meant for certain body types. I believe I put that as diplomaticContinue reading “It’s Only My Opinion, But…”
On Your Mark, Get Set
Go! I was never the fast guy. I wasn’t the slow guy either; I just possessed very average speed for an athlete. It wasn’t so noticeable when I played soccer, in fact. I possessed good speed for a soccer player. Since I was a center-forward, in 1967 that meant goal scorer. Period. Forget dropping backContinue reading “On Your Mark, Get Set”
Marijuana
I started smoking pot when I was 14 and a sophomore in high school. It seemed a natural thing to do since I was playing in a hot little rock and roll band and I did not like the smell or taste of tobacco smoke. I thought it was great that I could get aContinue reading “Marijuana”
