What Did I Miss?

I just caught a glimpse of a picture of Nancy Pelosi and I love it because she always looks like she just set the doobie down and waved the smoke away with her hands, and then turned towards the camera. I really do like the salty bird, though. I like anybody who’s not afraid toContinue reading “What Did I Miss?”

What Comes Around…

That lying, thieving, cheating, murdering fraudster Alex Murdaugh was given forty years to serve on his myriad of fraud charges. Even running concurrently, he should get out around the time he hits 95. Timing. You are driving along the Pacific Coast Highway with the beautiful pink sunset on your right shoulder as you head southContinue reading “What Comes Around…”

Loneliness

I like being alone, but I suppose feeling lonely is a curse for some. Others can be alone even when surrounded by other people. I am one of them. I think I equate people with being antithetical to a clean and healthy planet. I would be alright with a smaller world population, or even better,Continue reading “Loneliness”

Tiffany

Her full name was Tiffany O’Malley McDuff Diaz and her name was bigger than she was. I found her at an old farm in northeast Ohio just a few miles away from the Indiana border. It was a chilly night and I pulled up the dirt road leading to an old farmhouse with the requisiteContinue reading “Tiffany”

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”
