Sixteen years old and his life is over… Desmond Holly shot and wounded two students at his high school in Evergreen, Colorado before turning the gun on himself, ending his life and continuing the “tradition” of school shootings, the thirteenth going back to Columbine in 1999. Money scandals in high school athletics were nonexistent (orContinue reading “The Lowdown”

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”
Afterthoughts II
Our high schoolers are continuing the slide down the educational ladder, as their scores drop to a new low. Who needs silly old education anyway? People keep reporting Trump is dead, but really, he just looks that way. Newsweek is reporting Gen Z is experiencing “a drop in life satisfaction.” Darn. I was hoping toContinue reading “Afterthoughts II”
Daydreams or Nightmares?
People dream of going to the Caribbean for beautiful beaches, unbelievable sunsets, and vacations of a lifetime. Or you could get murdered. The murder rate is going through the roof at holiday destinations in the Caribbean, yet it hasn’t seemed to slow the flow of tourists. Murder be damned, where’s the lazy river? Some dumbassContinue reading “Daydreams or Nightmares?”
King Me
Two dumbass pilots at San Francisco International airport didn’t even wait to get airborne to have yet another (yawn) airline accident, instead, clipping the tail of a parked airplane. You are making such a fuss over not having enough people to work in the towers, yet you have pilot-clowns like these? Maybe not in myContinue reading “King Me”
Not in a Million Years
Now there’s pirates and then there are dumbass pirates. It was a couple small groups of the latter that decided to attack and rob a U.S. warship off the coast of Somalia. Now they are fish food. How about we take the gloves off and replace all those silly little water hoses with lasers? NoContinue reading “Not in a Million Years”
And Then Some
Evidently, you can mess with new head coach Bill Belichick’s North Carolina Tar Heel football team, but don’t think, for one second, that you can take on a North Carolina mother of eight. Mama don’t play… The little band of Italian thieves in Venice are lucky; if they would have pulled their little stunt inContinue reading “And Then Some”
In a Pig’s Eye
Where did that expression come from? I’ll bet it was someone who lived in a rural setting. Pure genius is what that is. In the latest “It will never happen to us” situation: It happened. ICE agent or not, if you, or any member of your family is in this country illegally, you will beContinue reading “In a Pig’s Eye”
Like I Never Left
Back to viewing the world through my highly-distorted lens macabre. Man, what a world we live in. And nobody makes it out alive… Watching the great tennis on display at the U.S. Open is one of my favorite sporting events of the year. In the heat of battle, after losing to fleshy American Taylor Townsend,Continue reading “Like I Never Left”
I Plead the Fourth
I’m back in sports heaven now that college football games and English Premier League football matches have resumed, so I continue my posting of songs I have recorded and/or written. I will resume writing in the more conventional way after Monday night’s TCU vs North Carolina game. Four straight days of music, this time allContinue reading “I Plead the Fourth”
