I just wanted a taste. Just a hit. I wasn’t chasing the dragon anymore than I would chase a fucking unicorn. It’s a phrase, nothing more; there is no dragon and you can’t catch it. Three years l...


There are three reasons you might have difficulty peeing; Your bladder is empty. You have stage fright. You have any number of horrible and gross medical conditions. Here are some things to kee...


I’m sure that when I was a wee cherubic apple cheeked infant that God looked down on me and smiled. Later he pointed and laughed. I’m being figurative, probably, but that’s the sort of agnostic ...

The Plan in Normal entries

In 1986 a man entered the home of a family of five, tied them up, and strangled them each one at a time. There was no evidence of torture, gratuitous physical abuse or any sexual abuse. Three day...


No good deed goes unpunished. What goes around comes around. You’d think those two pearls of faded adages would be cousins of some kind or the other, and they are if you think they are both about...


I wasn’t going to write an entry. If I were to ever give any advice about journal keeping it would be this; write an entry especially when you wasn’t a’gonna. I would say this advice loud and slo...


Last summer, early morning, somewhere in Nebraska, I’m sharing an egg McMuffin breakfast meal with the ex’s dog. I don’t remember the name of the town, it probably wasn’t there before the highway...


That song has been bouncing around the woefully inadequately insulated walls of my skull today. I thought I should probably write an entry. I bought this on vinyl when it came out, I could look ...

The Newsroom in Normal entries

For some reason Comcast is doing an on demand special of what they consider top shows this week. Ok, it’s not hard to guess the reason; many of the shows are from premium channels. Anyone who has...


Everything eventually comes back to this. You were expecting a semi-colon and something pround/silly. Maybe not. You read faster than your own expectations. The cool thing about typing is that y...


I take a bite from her forearm. It’s cold and sinewy and makes me a gag a bit. I spit it into a ziplock baggie and shove it deep in my pocket. The ME will tell him the bite was post mortem. The M...


Where your mind done gone? I was going to write something. I didn’t. Well, I wrote something, I just sent it elsewhere. It’s all going to be ok. Before I be your dog getcha way down here make yo...


There are no random acts only non spefic victims and unlikely benefactors. I don’t know who said, it was probably me or maybe someone else. For some reason in recent times the concept of true lov...


“This place looks familiar.” “Well, it isn’t.” “You sure?” “It was burned down last year, three years ago it was torched and five years ago it collapsed of a broken heart.” “My mistake then. Jack...


Most people who I’ve met who claim to be afraid of clowns like horror movies. Yeah, no, there wasn’t any event that precipitated that statement. I’ve been concerned about my unnaturally linear th...

Whittlin' in Normal entries

Snowed here yesterday. Didn’t stick, but it’s almost April and it snowed here. I’m sure there’s Daddybrothers talking to mommycousins on the front stoop in Eaton Rapids saying stuff like “See? Gl...

Flash Friday stuff in Flash Friday

“Who doesn’t like tequila?” “Seriously? Or is that rhetorical.” “If you’ve got a serious-ish answer, please, by all means …” “Communists, Terrorists and cats.” “Huh. I’ve never knowingly tried to...


I was going to write a flash tonigh. I guess I can call it today. Doesn’t matter I’m already actively not writing one. The throbbing in my ear is now a visual too, I fully expect a throbbing smel...


So I watched the pilot to Secrets and Lies the other night. They’ve been advertising it for weeks and I had nothing better to do. No spoiler alert; I’m not going to spoil anything. I’m not even s...



I woke sweating. A few embers popped, dark red under a crust of black. It’s all I could see. Night. Oh. Yeah. North of White horse, winter. I bet on that one hole course on a twenty foot sailboat...

Triflin' in Normal entries

I heard a word today I haven’t heard in a long time. I love this word and it goes with almost everything. Triflin’. Yeah, trifling is a completely different word. You can use triflin’ just about ...


Two famous songs with Georgia in them plus one I really like. “Why do bad things happen to good people?” “Well, kid, they have to happen to someone, right? I mean all the shitty things that ha...

Fuzzy, was he? in Normal entries

A friend asked me the other day how I manage to stay so composed. Initially I was going to snort; I don’t stay very composed. I guess I do present composure. I mean 99 percent of y’all only know ...


I think I’ve mentioned Sunny more in the last few weeks than the last year. Her father died yesterday, he’d been dying for a while. The last SMS conversation we had she was anti-social and I was ...
