A thought kind of struck me, hurt a bit and was uncommon enough an occurrence that I thought perhaps asteroids or something were breaking off from a really small big bang. I mean it’s all perspec...


I went back to the rite aid, same one, same time of day, same clerk. I grabbed a pack of gum and took two sticks out. The guy was almost vibrating with hostility. He was. He was vibrating with ho...


There’s a rite aid on the road back to where my friend is staying. The water where she’s staying has the distinct scent of sulpher, as many such ground wells across the country do, and whereas it...


You know how you’re sitting there watching your favorite team (tigers or redwings or go fuck yourself) and they are up by a slim margin, but you really need another bag of dorritos and a Mickeys ...


“So, god spoke to you, did he? I’m curious what does god sound like?” “You are trying to diminish me, make me seem foolish.” “I assure you, I couldn’t make you sound any more foolish than you are...


“Love is the only thing that frees you through bondage.” “From.” “What?” “Love frees you from bondage.” “What the fuck does that even mean?” “You know, love, um, opens the door to the, ah, prison...


A few years back when all the hubba-ba-loo was going on about fifty shades of gray, I gave it the haredawg book test. I open a book to a random page (I like to think of it as random, more often t...


‘Kay, so, adventures in car buying. Haredawg rule number one (which I broke on the last car but it turned out fine) Never go car shopping when you need a car. The last one was an accident all the...


If you look behind the curtain … boy howdy did I have an exhausting day. I had todays doctors visit written in my head, I mean alternate scripts. I made myself a promise not to lose my cool. I sh...


I was twenty four when I started working with adjudicated juvenile offenders, three years older than the oldest, eight years old than the youngest. You’ll have to trust my math otherwise it’ll ta...


Cooled down a bit this morning, rain. It doesn’t cool down the way one would expect, at least the way this one would. It’s like heat is retain in the mud. As little kids my sister and I would spr...


When I was in third grade I was picked to go to this convention held by Read Magazine. They did a lot of publication for elementary schools. I had written some piece of creative writing and me an...


I’ve misplaced time, perhaps when I do laundry next there will be soggy hours stuffed into pants pockets, minutes shredded in my shirts. I think this guy I know insulted me, he might have insulte...


“The biography of the man who hardly existed at all” “Excellent title, I would never read it.” “Why not?” “It’s bound to be disappointing. Have you written it already? You could just call it some...


Yesterday I wrote a few things, they failed to thrive by attrition. I’m sure there is an easier way to say this, but I can’t manage it. The pieces fell into a shallow pool of vulgar humor and cou...


This is the first protest song I had ever heard. This version is a little pic-a-dic-a-die-do but my choices were limited on youtube. I was born in 1960 in the small town adjacent to a Big Ten ca...


Today I do my monthly dance with doc and pharmacy; it’s not anxious, just tiresome. It was anxious for the first few years, I mean I’d speak into a recording on Monday for Fridays scripts and by ...


It’s weird about a decade ago I was looking all over for this band, the album this song came from. I like the studio version better. It’s seems now that everything is on youtube, officially *ever...

Yip in Normal entries

Should probably write this now, I have fast and furious seven queued up and I might lose too many brain cells. To be fair to the franchise, I’ve lost brain doing other things as well. I know the ...

Among the weirder shit that’s been going on with me is naps in the morning. I don’t even have a good working theory. I have a bad one though. I have dreams during naps. I probably have dreams dur...


Hot outside today; hot and muggy. I have an ice machine and bottled water. Though I’ve always kept up on environmental news the idea of a shortage of potable water seemed very remote when I lived...


Holy Shit. What does that mean exactly? Is it supposed to denigrate holy stuff or augment the quality of shit? And is like Divine shit or just blessed by a priest or rabbi or llama? I mean the bi...


“I met this woman from Maine.” “Bang her?” “No, Portland.” “Was she cold?” “I met her in June, in Jacksonville, a long way from Maine.” “Nice.” “She had this quirk.” “Tourettes? Sociopathy? Washi...


There is a very good reason for me not to write a flash today, Friday, the day that has come to mean, well, Friday, as in Thank God It’s Flash! There’s a very good reason not to edit or even to r...


Ok, so, you know how if you see a jar of jelly beans with a sign that says “guess how many jellybeans are in this and win some stupid shit or other” how you can’t help but guess? Sure you might n...
