Yes, yes, I got some new hair.

Well, got rid of a lot of the old hair, rather.

You don't have to comment below, just wanted to temporarily broadcast the new look. Sorry for being so wishy-washy with my av lately, but this will be "me" for a… Read full post »

Some things cost way too much...

Black with charcoal grey swirls and long sleeves gathered at the wrist. Eight buttons circled by fabric loops parade down the fitted front, to just above the waist, where the sheer fabric flows out ever so slightly, to wave across sashaying hips. Flat, col… Read full post »

I was at Walmart today  (I know, I know...gimme a break.  That's another post for some other time)  and as I was leaving, navigating my left-wheel-side-pulling-cart to my car, and I was overcome by a feeling.

To skip.

This happens to me frequently, and I've written about it… Read full post »

 "If you can't say it in 140 [characters], you shouldn't be saying it. It's made me a better writer ... because you find a way to get to the point," she says. "People don't have time to read those lengthy, self-serving blogs anymore."

A few weeks ago, and again today, the universe decided to be its usual, cruel, unrelenting self and remind me of EW. Today sucks bad for me and while I wrote this a long time ago, I feel the need to publish it today. Coincidentally, the “Ethan” of the story… Read full post »

Wow. You’re really sick, aren’t you?

At my office, we have a food chain of bosses.  I like to call them smal… Read full post »

My Dad used to sing this a lot when I was a kid. 

I sing it to myself from time to time, but thought you guys might like it too.

A comment from jimmymac1025 on my previous post got me thinking about all the ideas I seem to collect daily and there simply isn’t the time or energy for me to write all of them.  I usually have about 10-15 started at any given time, saved and waiting for me… Read full post »

Really?  They have the stereo system on a Country & Western station? Sigh. Whatever…

Mid-song, I have no idea who or what this is, but some chick just sang about heading off to “Wally World.”

I love summer  barbeques. 

I love manning the grill—I am good at it, and I know when meat is done.

It was early in the morning, I had just gotten out of the shower and was getting ready to go to work. I turned on the radio in the bathroom and after a few minutes I realized it wasn’t just a commercial; this talking was going on way too long.… Read full post »

If you came to visit me (and hell yeah, you’re all invited—BYOB), you would see this box on my coffee table.  It is made from some sort of stone? Definitely not wood:

People always comment on it, and are then surprised at the contents.  Based o… Read full post »

Who is Clarence Greenwood?

He is a salesman of Peace, Love & Understanding. His style is reggae/alternative  and  he definitely has a message.  He is “Citizen Cope”.  Sure, you can say he “sold out” to Acura, but here’s what they didn&rsquo… Read full post »

At least that’s how I felt when I got this message:

“A Banner For You Today…” from RicTresa.

What? For me?  Yes.  Just a “random act of kindness”.  Check it out up there!  Coooool...

1. Who was your WORST prom date? 

Never went to a prom, but if I did, I suppose the worst date would have to be with that psycho-killer from the movie “Prom Night”.

2. Who was your WORST love and do you still talk with him/her? 

 Johnny Depp.  He never fucking… Read full post »

Yes, this has been bugging me for quite some time, so I’m letting it out.

Everyday, I am faced with this one particular statement:

CAUTION:  DO NOT INSERT IN EAR CANAL  (from a box of cotton-swabs, of course).

Okay. You know what?  I despise having the inner parts of my ears/… Read full post »
