“The devil’s in the details, but he doesn’t live there.” “Huh.” “Not his mailing address.” “Ok.” “You could get a message to him at details for devil, but …” “I’ll bite, the fuck?” “We’re friends...


A couple of hours ago I tweaked my back goodly (heh, lookit me, making fun of misused adverbs and the whole backwards good/bad thing while my back is stiffer than a peach fuzz freshman peeking in...

Warning in Normal entries

Yesterday was a hard day, but it had ups as well as downs. I was up late too watching Netflix TV. I’m sure I’ve bitched enough about the stupid rhetorical screenwriter trick of removing contracti...


Surprises me that I’ve been here at all this year. I’m not bad mouthing prose box, I like prose box, though there’s hardly any evidence to support that. I don’t participate much. It’s my head, my...


You know I used to kind of know what people meant about fear of dying alone and I kind of knew what people meant by Everyone Dies alone, though, honestly, I used to sing seventies power ballads i...

16 or lack thereof in Normal entries

Today would have been my sixteenth wedding anniversary, as the crow flies, and, presupposing a lack of a divorce two years ago. There’s a lot of any story not told if you take it as the crow flie...

Chunks of time in Normal entries

Earlier in the week I had a few stories running through my head, I was going to pop them in the flash Friday toaster, but one thing didn’t lead to another and I lost the thread. One was kind of f...


Among the many things I don’t get some involve Arnold Schwarzenegger. Most of the things I don’t get I don’t even know I don’t get, but Arnold isn’t too complex for me to understand not getting h...


There really isn’t a lot going on with me these days. I could whine about shit that hurts but I’m tired of the sound of my own voice, putting it in print doesn’t help any. Funny thing about old ...


There are a lot of pharmacies in this town. Only a handful of vendors, but each have at least two to four pharmacies within five miles of where I’m typing. I have pet names for them. The one I we...


I’m about to admit something that, honestly, is years too late in the admission. I’d like to attribute it to hubris or shame or something profoundly human. I really just forgot. It had been on my...

The first rule in Normal entries

Fight club. I don’t remember reading it but I must have, why would I have read every other book of Chucks except fight club? I certainly saw the movie. And I’m seeing it again, right now. I keep ...

Wolves in Normal entries

Steam Punk in Normal entries

There was this guy a few years back … he probably is still a guy if he’s still alive and if he’s not it would have been foul play but he sure wouldn’t have had a sex change if he was dead. Let’s ...


My phone is notoriously wrong about the weather. I mean measurably wrong, like stick your head out the window kind of wrong. It’s hot and humid as a motherfucker out there and my phone says it’s ...

Cause you forgot in Normal entries


Shit has been strange around here lately. I mean the planet, but, more intimately, my circle of people on the planet, most of whom are in North and South America. The example I’m about to give is...


I’m just typing here, not intending to offend or rally and although it might seem like I have a strong opinion, I probably don’t. Recreational marijuana. You know with the exception of Viagra wha...
