Where Did it Go?

It was here just a minute ago. My memory. Despite my wife’s inaccurate recollections, I am just now starting to notice small signs that my once precise eidetic memory is slipping. There are TWO THINGS that I always remember. Always have and always will. Who I owe money to and who owes me money. 100%Continue reading “Where Did it Go?”

Closing Time

Not only an ass-kicking song by Semisonic, but an always-approaching time for us all. The end game. Departure. So why do we waste so much of the precious time we have been allotted on useless horseshit like hatred and fear? And supposedly, we are the most intelligent life form on Earth. Maybe not. AI foundContinue reading “Closing Time”

Just the Facts

I mean there are two commentators at a basketball game. TWO. One of them goes on a nasty racist rage and the other one did not. When reporting this story, a newspaper mixed them up and reported the wrong reporter’s name as the guilty party. Boom. Twenty-five million. As much as I would hate toContinue reading “Just the Facts”

Our Skill Set

We each have one that is just as unique to us as our fingerprints. We learn them, we inherit them, and we assimilate them our entire lives. Then our role is over and a new cast goes through the motions of mouthing the words and playing the parts as the show must go on. IContinue reading “Our Skill Set”

A Gypsy Girl Named Shannon

Not a John Stewart song, but a real girl. Bright garnet-yellow eyes, smooth café skin, and a throaty giggle that first seduced then paralyzed. I met Shannon in the high Sierra Mountains in northern California where she camped with her family of seven: Her father Grecko, mother Sashay, and her quadruplet sisters, not one ofContinue reading “A Gypsy Girl Named Shannon”

Thumb Tripping

Hitchhiking. You just don’t see it anymore. It used to be a means of transporting one’s self to points unknown with a complete stranger. I know, not because I ever had to hitch a ride to go somewhere, but because I was the guy who would stop and pick up whoever had their thumbs out.Continue reading “Thumb Tripping”

Problem Solved

Some Pennsylvania high school students are organizing a walk-out from their school because the world is spinning faster than they can catch up. Being forced to share bathroom facilities with transgender females doesn’t work for them. This is a problem and it won’t just be confined to the Quaker State. Make a third bathroom; forContinue reading “Problem Solved”

  Everybody Loses

That dumbass Kim Jong-un from North Korea is once again talking shit about using his nuclear weapons. Talk about someone with penis-envy. Used to be, the only time you fucked with the United States of America was if you had a death wish. Then we got cocky and imperialistic. Vietnam 1 USA 0.  I amContinue reading ”  Everybody Loses”

Turn the Page

OK, Miley Cyrus, I’ll give it to you. You are persistent. You, or the people responsible for your public image, have tried putting you in every outfit imaginable, trying to showcase the very little you were blessed with, and it hasn’t worked. Less is not better (or more). Eat something. Three words for you. KeepContinue reading “Turn the Page”

Scary Christmas!

The one time of year that I still look forward to just doesn’t seem to hold the old magic that it used to. War(s). Hatred. Prejudice. Both learned behaviors. The streaming services holding hostage the viewer by restricting access to the “good” Christmas movies and not the formulaic and predictable Hallmark scripted movies. Boring. Now,Continue reading “Scary Christmas!”
