More rambling about nothing in particular
The needle poked past eighty today. The thermometer needle, the one for the air (or maybe it’s rectal in the earth. I know how mercury works, but everything is digital now). Maybe the speedometer...
Yeah I don't know what I'm going on about either
I opened one of those Word Doc desktop orphans; blank. Hmmm, I’m not sure I’ve ever explained desktop orphans, I kind of assumed it was obvious, but it might not be. I use a desktop and it has a ...
Cat
Made the mistake of cruising facebook the other day. Oh. Let’s make that less creepy, shall we then? I actually did my quarterly read through of posts and shit. Pretty much same old same old. I m...
The Drover
Because I have been chatting about songs … Because my immediate present is boring … Because if I don’t type I’ll go mad(der) and typing to oneself is cra(zy. Um, for a little while at least the k...
Use a fork Luke
Went to see my primary today. It was pleasantly uneventful. Or rather, I thought so. Who the fuck knows what evil lurks? I went to Walgreens afterwards for water and candy. I can’t drink tap wate...
The shit that pops into the head at night
It’s late. Here. For me. Other places it’s earlier. It’s earlier in Chicago. Only an hour, but still, some old guy with an acoustic and a harmonica hasn’t even started his second set. Me I was in...
April showers bring the wind and the snow
When I was a child I barked like a child I bit like child I have put away childish things Except the squeky ball and chew rope That was a desktop orphan, I probably thought it was funny at the ti...
Just more nonsense, kvetch, kvetch, kvetch
My phone honked with a National Weather Service warning for tomorrow; snow, ice up to four inches. I’ve had cell phones since the days of the brick, um, that’s what we called them, they were abou...
Todays nonsense
We were given misinformation. It’s a safe bet as a general statement. Some of us were given the same misinformation for different cause. Many of us were given misinformation from people who belie...
Oh, yeah, this too ...
A couple of days ago I stopped by a starbucks, one of the ones inside target. Starbucks always throws me off a bit here. They call me sir without a smirk, are pleased me choices, happily ask if t...
Stuff I was thinking about
I had this TV show on. The end credits rolled and I couldn’t tell you what the hell, even took me a minute to figure the name of the show. One of the culprits was this Now is as good a time as ...
Smoking Cats
There was this outfit several years back that used to buy a lot of prime time ad spots to run an anti-smoking campaign. It was, and still is, called the Truth or the Truth dot com. It was difficu...
I'm serious
At about 1115 this morning it started snowing. Hard tiny little pellets, too light to be called hail. Since then it has snowed harder and lighter. I’d say it was snowing like a motherfucker but i...
Codicil to Mad nose
I admitted in a note a few hours ago that I didn’t exactly know something that I had typed as if I actually knew it. To my credit I have typed about a bazillion times this millennium; What the Fu...
Mad Nose
I used to go to Sunday school when I was a kid, of course when I was a kid, it’d be a bit creepy to hang out with the kids in Sunday school while their parents were upstairs singing or tithing or...
Flash Friday for a Wednesday afternoon, perhaps a long one
She walked by a cell phone on the sidewalk. It was lit and a man’s voice was coming from the small speaker. She hurried past so the sound of her heels would be indistinguishable. She thought as...
Ok
Strange shrinking today. I get pretty dang abstract. In general I tend to eschew the linear whenever practical (I say as though it’s a matter of will. Bolshevik!). If I didn’t know that about me ...
Wow, that's a lot of stuff
Today was a good day, I suppose, as far as days go. The sun shone, the birds sang, crocus’s rose through the frosty dew. I didn’t have anything to do with it. That’s ok, lots of days manage just ...
Riders on the storm
My little sister is driving in today from Nashville. The Doppler makes the Midwest look like someone dotted his eye and broke his nose; green, yellow, purple — I’m guessing it’s a rough drive. To...
The Monkeys
There was this sixth grade teacher I had, he looked like Ed Asner, he taught history and social studies. It was the first time a grown up had actually taught me about subliminal advertising. He w...
Slowing Down
Yeah, so, fuck. One of the things that one hopes for happened shrink-wise today, I mean for me. Another thing you hope doesn’t happen happened for dude. The idea of talk therapy is that you keep ...
The Apostle Paw
The year is almost one third over. In that time I think I both resurrected the ghost of ‘Scuse me while I kiss this guy and wrote about a Bob Marley documentary I saw. Texting with the GF today, ...
Reclaiming Koolaid
On the carousal side of three AM, most of the carnies have drunk themselves to sleep, the rest are shooting craps for poker money and swapping golden tales of the day before. Laundry hasn’t been ...
Spell check and I are no longer on speaking terms
September of 2012, belly full and the sun just rising, I’m pulling out of provost Utah, shit, maybe Ogden, and I’m climbing into the hills, there’s a thick fog, back lit by the rising sun, I bank...
Stuff and stuff
If ever I’m asked why the scots are beguiled I’ll raise up my glass and I’ll say with a smile “Fortune dealt Scotland the wildest of cards” Oh the roving dies hard — Battlefield band I’ll see if ...
Book Description
Thought I’d change the title. Some of my best friends are white girls. 95 percent of my friends are in cars going fast.
But perhaps For White Girls In Cars Going Fast was offensive. White girls can call each white girls, but I think we’re supposed to refer to them as pigment challenged Americans, which must confuse the hell out of the Brits, Aussies, and other such nationals on this site, e,g, “My pigmentation is fine and I’m a Not American American.”
