Here's what I hate: I was sitting down watching Comedy Central, trying to enjoy The Daily Show (this topic is not up for discussion, I do enjoy it) when I was completely grossed out during the commercial breaks. They showed numerous times ( I don't recall how many) people (or puppets) vomiting all over the place or sneezing huge gobs of snot across the room. I mean, seriously? Is this what passes for comedy these days? I don't watch either of the shows that were being advertised because of ...
Sorry folks, but I have to write the words to my new favorite song here. It's by Strong Bad. He writes about what he would do if he could make his town different. It comes straight from the heart, and that's what makes it special. Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeelllll.... The Poopsmith he could talk *HEL-LO* And Marzipan would rock And The Stick would be this big old tree That would try to eat everyone except The Cheat and me [Strong Mad] And me! We'll see! And the King of Town would be undergr...

Today at work we lifted and stacked 50 lbs bags of deer feed. Nothing to tough for a guy of my size and youth, well, it wouldn't have been if I'd had some decent help. The two guys I worked with, stacked, would have weighed maybe what I do. That may be an exaggeration, but one guy, Rex, is about 5'4" and can't weigh more than 120 lbs. Jesse on the other hand probably weighs in at a relatively beefy 140, but he's about 5'8", so the extra heft doesn't really do him a lot of good. I clock in at a...
I have been coerced into taking a part in the local Community Education play. I like acting. I don't like acting like a moron. My aunt runs the Community Education program in our small town, and she NEEDED another male performer or the show would not go on. The play is called "Laffing Room Only", which is extremely stupid, but the play isn't as bad as the ones they've done in the past. Mostly they do overly melodramatic comedies, which are mostly poorly acted. No one is required to adopt...
So I got a check in the mail today. For thirteen dollars and eighy-six cents. I can now half fill my gas tank. It's from the Compact Disc Minimum Advertised Price Anti-trust Litigation. Thinking back, VERY HARD, I remember signing up for this class action lawsuit probably back in High School...I graduated five years ago. This is our court system in action, folks. If I recall, it was something about music stores overcharging for CD's...they got sued by 47 states, and I think the real winner...
There she is again, sitting. Always sitting. I've seen her sitting in a thousand places; half real and half in my dreams. She sits in libraries, in meadows, in post-apocolyptic Russia under the unforgiving Asian sun. She sits in doorways, hallways, parkways and skyways. She sits in all kinds of weather in all kinds of seasons. She has sat forever, and will forever sit in the within the columns of my mind. Today it is October. Her name, I think, is May. May Roddenberry. That's not her ...
I wish I was a morning person. In fact, I'd go so far as to say that I AM a morning person, I just hate waking up. The unstrained silence of the first few hours after the sun rises fit in perfectly with my view of how the world should exist. I used to work Security in college, midnight to 8 a.m. I was okay with the difficult hours, because I got to see the sun rise without having to rise myself. People watching is gratifying in the morning; you get to see people as they really are, before w...

I am currently a carryout at the local grocery store. Go ahead, laugh it up. Here I sit, degree in hand, bagging groceries at a store in the town where I grew up. But I do have a greater purpose in life...in 4 months time, while you're still sitting here at your computer reading the inane thoughts of someone you don't know I'll be in a tropical paradise, offering to create a better life for the people of a small nation. The grocery gig is just something to help pass the time and put a little b...

This is not the beginning of a great thing. It's probably not even the beginning of a thing that will be especially theraputic to either of us. But it is the beginning of something, and we'll see where that leads.
