Waiting For My Rocket To Come
I was chatting, as I am wont to do, on another chat home.
It was a nice chat and that person on the other end of the internet spectrum suggested that I should continue to write on my blog. That’s it’s been far too long. And while I can’t disagree with them there’s far too many [...]
Stressball Millionaire
You know those emails you get? You know, the ones that tell you - “You may worry about money but he can’t afford a roof over his head,” and then you see some poor man with no shoes and you think two things.
1- “Wow, I’m so lucky”
2- “Lucky bastard. He doesn’t have to pay taxes.”

End Of The Road
There is no question that when a relationship ends, there’s a death of sorts.
Whether it’s an actual case of a stopping of breath, a mutual agreement that a couple has finished, or a storming out of the door; it’s a death.
It isn’t a bad thing always but regardless of the reasons of loss, there is [...]
Are The Buzzard’s Circling?
ALTERNATE TITLE…..
“Are You There God? It’s Me, Scoundrel”
“I hear it’s your Birthday (da na na na)
It’s my birthday too!”
(the Beatles)
Well, it’s my birthday today and there’s only one thing that keeps popping in my head. It’s a quote from “Absolutely Fabulous.”
“I don’t know WHY we celebrate the fact that she’s lived so bloody long!”
I mean, [...]
“So, Umm, Yeah, Ummm, I Want World Peach…No, Peace! I mean, peace. Yeah, peace.”
So by now we’ve all heard1 about Miss California’s big screw up.
Asked whether she believed in Gay marriage; she said NO. A big, fat,2 NO!
It was a “no” heard around the world. Or at least those of us who scan the internet for something we HAVEN’T read already.

River Writing; Where? Not Me!
I saw a quote the other day. Made me think.
"A writer writes because he has to."
Is that me?
Is this whole thing because I have to write or am I just a loud mouthed bastard who just can’t shut up?
Maybe both?
You write because:
A: You have to.
B: You can’t keep your mouth shut.
C: It’s cathartic.
D: All of [...]
Darth Scoundrel
When does anger subside?
When is it replaced with empathy or even a basic understanding of what your “enemy” is going through?
“I did this but you did this so then I did this but it was because…” That sort of thing.
In his mind I was the root of the problem and in mine he was all [...]
Janet Jackson Lives Here
You think that first crash against your cheek is the end?
It’s not.
But everyone says it is.
We, who aren’t M.A.D.D. obsessed; who don’t jump on the particular local bandwagon, who aren’t “recently environmentally” grounded, who won’t sneeze at passive dander”, solid souls who dance between past and present: Who are, fucking GROUNDED, we…
It’s that dot, dot, [...]
Jason Mraz - DETAILS IN THE FABRIC

sTV II- The Revenge of the Scoundrel - Oh And Some Of That Ol’ Fashioned Written Word
THE OUCHING!
How fucking poetic. Yes, oh yes…OH YES….THE PHYSICAL PAIN IS SOOOOOOOOO MUCH BETTER.
NOT!
So, let’s do the old fashioned thing and write too.
It’s sore. Damned sore. I’m showing you the pictures because I love you, the reader, THAT much.
I still can’t believe it’s not broken. What I did to my foot.
OUCHING.
It’s [...]
