Sunday was a day of terrible inner strife. Suffering through Brett Favre throwing daggers threw my (and my beloved Green Bay Packers) heart.

Like any divorce, love and hate ride the same train ready to get off at any stop.

The conductor hollered, "This stop: Love and Hate disembark on Lambeau Field."… Read full post »

The Exodus

Blood dripped onto my bright white bathroom rug. It was only a flesh wound. I could self-diagnose due to the fact the new bullet wound was next to an old bullet wound.

"That fuck ruined my rug." I thought, leaning against the bathroom door-jam, readying myself for my big-push to the… Read full post »

I killed my babies and they deserved it...

Raining and overcast, a perfect day for a pleasant read. I settled-in and picked out one of my own screenplays to enjoy.

It was 1997, I'd been writing for about 7 years...

At first it was only a twinge of discomfort. The… Read full post »

The 2009 Sonoma Battle of the Bartenders is in the books. Debauchery in the name of charity, what could be better?

We had over 700 revelers helping us raise money for The Native Sons of the Golden West and The American Legion. Much needed money for our troops and children's charities.

In these… Read full post »

Why I'm afraid of clowns:

I see a lot of people are bailing-out or at least blogging about considering flouncing maybe. We, that consider ourselves writers, are a touchy bunch of coconuts.

I ride the same emotional roller-coaster, so I'm not lobbing accusations, just observing.

I've long thought myself an alien observer of hu… Read full post »

Some thoughts on writing. before you rush off to tell me I'm wrong in a comment. I agree.

I'm right too. Writing is judged subjectively, meaning by opinion. Therefore we can all be right and wrong at the same time.

Dan Brown seems to be a hot-topic for skewering... let's start with… Read full post »

Sam had a bad day. He not only didn't get a raise, he got his benefits cut.

Sam really needed his healthcare and could've used a little more money, but he accepted his shrinking world and plodded on. Knowing he was going to have to cut his teenage son's rent subsidy, his… Read full post »

There are times I feel alone. I'm not shy about my dislike/distrust of groups. Most people in groups cling to one thing they believe in while the group does many things they don't believe in... they just go along because of their one or two agreements.

This holds true of religious people.… Read full post »

Its like a portal into another dimension. Plopping alien life-forms on Earth at a pace greater than the environment can sustain. The portal should be filled with concrete, permanently sealed, since the you refuse to use your brain.

You are perpetrating irrational, selfish crimes against humanity. Wrap… Read full post »

It wasn’t normal to want to kill dancers, before the definition of normal spun wildly out of control searching for its new definition.  The definition doesn’t exist.  Not yet. 

If this is now normal, then I will want to kill dancers and that will be normal.  This can&r… Read full post »

A paradox.

Why would humans vehemently defend mega-corporations that have just bilked them of a trillion dollars?

What the hell is a "trigger effect"? Is it because you don't have the stones to pull the trigger on the 800 pound health-care giants today? 

You wanna see how a few… Read full post »

Although it's not healthy to dwell on situations beyond one's control. The precarious state of my financial health is constantly brought to the fore by the constant ringing of the phone...

I find writing to be cathartic, so I've attacked this topic before. Usually attempting humor to exorcise my ang… Read full post »

Rush Limblower went ballistic today when he found out a new healthcare program would be partially funded by the government.

He berated Axel Foley, partner at Dewey, Cheatum and Howe and founder of A Far, Far Better Thing I Do, Inc.

Veins popping, arms flailing, Rush lit into him: "How can… Read full post »

In the corner of a dark alley a figure lies in the fetal position, bleeding.

Orca-fat hoodlums administer a brutal beating to the helpless man. Taking turns kicking, punching and taunting. The shadows in the vomit-inducing alley cloak the identities of the bloated thugs.

One has big round ears and… Read full post »

We don't want to accept it, but we've been had. We may as well fly the flag of the united states of the stupid.

30 Million People Control 300 Million... Why? How?

I theorize it's because we're stupid. I also give credence to the: "We're not all greedy fucking whores" theory.… Read full post »

If one looks around they might see we are not in the same place as 233 years ago. If one chooses to not look around one should hope to not be in the same place we were 233 years ago.

There are similarities, alas, they're not of the wisdom we give our… Read full post »

Musings About Things Learned

These are not in any particular order, but there are things to be learned from everything, including posts that appear to be childish.

Some of the PM's and comments received suggested I stop clogging the feeds with an unnecessary post.

It could be easily argued in the grand… Read full post »

I don't expect a lot of comments. People are self-censoring out of fear of reprisals. It's easier to be quiet than risk being shunned, because we all want to be read.

I'm writing for the freedom to write what we want and get reads. Freedom from a group that does what… Read full post »

The herd mentality is nurtured from birth. Parents don't want their children ostracized, so they begin to meld them into a form acceptable to the masses.

Schooling continues to form children, other children bully different types until they conform. Whether or not they really change or pretend to chang… Read full post »

Something akin to an anti-miracle occurred again. An anti-miracle is an event I assume to be rare.

I'm trying to type over all the screaming and hollering.

I've watched some former (still here) Open Salon members try to leave and say they're leaving and call people that stay on Open Salon whores or Open Salon: Whoredom.

I liken their deaths to a parody of a bad movie… Read full post »
