The Him Whom I Loved
My friend is no more.
Two months ago when I’d gotten the news that Rufus had a tumour I should have been expecting this day but, alas, no.
The other day he rolled over on his back and I could see just how large the tumour had gotten and you’d think THEN would be the day I’d [...]
You Wanna “Tweet”?
So “Twittering” is the latest craze, huh?
I mean I’ve said it before; it’s for people who can’t commit to a paragraph.
I was thinking of joining and then I thought, “Fuck it! I’ve got my OWN website.
I’ll ‘Twitter’ on that!
Twittering is the equivalent to 90’s “antiquing”.
It’s become an adjective.
What sucks is finishing your laundry only to [...]
Ponderings Between Stops
Writing on the bus is never easy. Typing on the bus isn’t simple either but there’s been this drive in me to do more writing.
And I get to be inspired by the advertisements plastered on the inside.
There’s one for some Bible study thingamajig. With the less than subtle picture of a deep-azure lake surrounded by [...]
Eebadee, Eebadee, That’s All Folks!
It’s a pandemic. Isn’t it?
The word is being flung around like a shuttlecock in a badminton typhoon.
All the major (and even minor) news channels are predicting the black plague for the new millennium.
Will we be dying in the streets, blood pouring from every orifice, screaming out for mercy?
So it’s a mish/mash of human, pig and [...]
Just Stop And Look
This morning I was doing my duty as a dog owner, poop bag in hand, walking the dog when I took a second and just looked up.
There it was, at 7:10 am1 the moon shining in the sky while the sun was coming up.
In these moments when I feel crushed about debt, loss of hope [...]
Honeymoon’s Over Folks!
We all knew it was coming, didn’t we? I mean the love affair had to end sooner or later, I just didn’t think it would be this soon.
Already, Republicans are calling the new King a socialist.
Ummm, well, are they surprised? And why is “Socialist” a four letter word?
MSNBC titled an article “Obama’s new strategy: [...]
Proposition Hate
I’ve been pretty silent up until now about what went on in California partly because I’ve been shaking my head and wondering just what the hell happened.
Didn’t bigoted lines get crossed just a day before? Didn’t progressive thinking finally trump backward thought?
I guess not.
Part of my absence in the pool of confessionals was, [...]
"SHOW ME THE BEAST!"
So Madge and Guy are calling it quits, are they?
He says she became a stickly tight assed pain1 and was shoving that red string in every which direction.
One imagines her running around their mansion, interpretive “ab” building, moaning Kabbalah this and Kabbalah that.
On her part he was typically British and callous in his affection. [...]
SCOUNDREL A.D.
Grabbing at the only possible life line I could, I saw the word “positive” and I was shocked.
No, it’s not me but someone I know.
“I’m positive.”
That’s what I saw on the 14″ wide, flat panel, L.C.D. screen and it took about three seconds for it to register.
Positive…
Didn’t see that one coming.
Then I started [...]
The Wedding Day
A great day all round. Kinda proud of myself.
