“What’s this fuckin noise?” He demanded, waving at the radio.
     I glanced at it, then at him, horrified. “You don’t know?”
     Never heard such garbage.”
     “It’s Black Sabbath! War Pigs, man!” I turned it up. “Jesus, they let you into America not knowing this shit? Are you here legally?” He gave me the Look. It was the one [...]

Before we get too far, let me just preface this by saying I’m not sure how good a source I’m working with, here. Some of the phrases used in the article give me pause, particularly the phrase “Big Pharma”. I’m used to hearing that out of people who are about to go off on a [...]

If I’m understanding this correctly, a McCain campaign volunteer told reporters (or the cops, who told the reporters, whatever), that she went to an ATM, where she was attacked by a black man. Said black man noted the McCain bumper sticker on the volunteer’s car, and beat the shit out of her, including carving a [...]

No story update today, folks, sorry. The revised and finished version of Chapter Six that I posted on Monday is going to have to tide you over until next week. I was going to try and pump out at least enough of Chapter Seven to post, today, but then I thought, you know, if I [...]

I love to see this kind of thing. It indicates to me that our friendly neighborhood conservatives are getting a little panicked by the popularity of the Obama/Biden ticket. They’re attacking it any silly way they can.
     By not obeying our Federal Law, Obama to lose right to be Democratic candidate. Barack Obama has many many [...]

My friend Melisa introduced me to this song — Good Day by the Dresden Dolls. It’s fantastic. This isn’t the kind of stuff I usually listen to — not a big fan of the jazz/cabaret kind of sound, but the singer’s voice is amazing, and the song is just too much fun. The video is [...]

I avoid fights. I don’t like them. They’re never conveniently located – there’s always witnesses. I’m almost always in over my head, and stuck with someone around who shouldn’t see me whip out some abyssal power to even the odds. I prefer the quiet stalk, like a tiger, a quick chase, bring the prey down [...]

I finally got a chance to watch Ironman last night. Much to my dismay, I missed it in the theaters due to a bad case of divorced and poor, but my dishwasher was kind enough to lend me his copy of the movie. I took it with me to coffee last night, and watched it [...]

Everyone likes to have a place to go, even me. I’ve been going to Bushie’s for probably ten years, now. The place is a little hole-in-the-wall bar, the kind of bar where it’s fifty-fifty if the bathrooms are safe to use, and if you’re smart, you don’t eat anything that didn’t come out of the [...]

What a week! And it’s not even over yet! Sunday was nothing special, as far as work goes, but Monday I pulled a combination shift, waiting tables and running the restaurant at the same time. It wasn’t busy, but it was a bit more hustling than I’m used to these days. At the beginning of [...]
