Just last Friday night, while sitting in a bar with friends, I made the astute connection between hurricanes in the gulf and the cooling of temperatures here. Think it was something along the sophisticated lines of “Fuck them. They can tread water as long as it brings me cooler weather.” I also [...]

Below is a letter-to-the-editor that I wrote on the day following the events of September 11, 2001:
Just as it must have been after Pearl Harbor, our nation finds itself, perhaps irrevocably, changed. I awoke Wednesday to air that, despite the 1186 miles between here and New York, no longer smells, feels, or even tastes [...]

I got the football pool sheet filled out with definite winners, my team in both fantasy football leagues built for a championship, and I’ve got 50 wings ready to be grilled to caribbean jerk perfection. Let the geekness begin . . . .

I had five days off to memorialize my Memorial Day weekend. What did I do? Basically nothing. I watched a couple of movies. Grilled some wings and watched the first big college football game of the year. Got laid (yay, me). That’s about it. Well, there was one [...]

Had a shit night at work. Hand started hurting, it was hot as hell, I actually had to work while at work, and everybody decided to pick today to be an ass. I am too much of a pleasant, dedicated employee so it surely had to be THEIR fault, not mine. [...]

Houston, I think we have a gin and problem. . . . If my ass was strapped in with millions of pounds of rocket fuel in a vehicle made by the lowest bidder, I think I’d need something to take the edge off, too. It’s not like they actually drive the fucking thing. At least [...]

Took The Ex and the kids out to eat and to play. “Play” meaning they go crazy in the Burger King play room and I sit at the table from a safe distance and watch. Afterward, we went to a few stores looking for a replacement cord for The Ex’s laptop. While [...]

. . . and evidently I am a complete ass.
It seems, as of late, that my circle of friends has a certain muliebral quality (damn that thesaurus makes me sound smart). Not long ago I was whiling away the nights with Gangsta Tee and Lip Synch, either ogling the eye candy at [...]

Today was my first day back to work. Because of some bad circumstances and thanks to some good occurrences, I got what averaged out to a decent 12 days off. After completing a whole 15 minutes of my shift, I was already, ready for a day off.
Not going into too much detail (not that it’s [...]
