I Believe I’ve Got a Problem. GOD DAMMIT!
About two months ago, Tobyjoe and I were at Enid’s with some friends. While there, a song came on. I couldn’t help but sing along. I made a note to myself: Remember this song. Download it later. It’s from your youth. Of course, the next day I forgot how it went. A few weeks after…

Nancy Horn
When I was ten, a girl named Nancy Horn lived up the street from us. Our neighborhood was shaped like a lower case n. At least that’s how I picture it now. She lived at the top of the n. We lived at the bottom of the right-hand-side of its leg. Her parents were friends…

Freedom of Keeping One’s Head.
I know most of the world isn’t online during the weekend, but I’m really itching to start a discussion surrounding this particular issue. I’m not sure how I feel about it as I was not raised with Islam. I was raised Catholic and while I have seen some pretty horrid things done to Christ over…

Overheard in New York
Am I the only person who finds Overheard In New York kinda off-color at times? This was taken directly from their “Totally Awesome Quotes” section: Title: Go Back to Israel! Jewess: That’s the third time you mentioned Jews. What’s wrong with Jews? Goy: They are demanding, confrontational, and have a hard time telling the truth.…

A Slice of Heaven.
Last night, I visited the Barnes and Noble on 46th street to pick up a few things for the project we’re currently working on. I also wanted to pick up a new book for myself. I ended up getting The Good Life by Jay Mcinerney. Judging by its cover, you might figure out what it’s…

The Mainstream Media: A Fountain of Misinformation
On Tuesday night, those of us watching the State of the Union heard breaking news about Cindy Sheehan being arrested for (and I quote) “unveiling a banner” while seated in chambers. Everyone heard that. That’s what was reported. Two other people were arrested as well. But I didn’t hear about that until a day later.…

Cop Shoot Cop. (Not the band, honky.)
An off-duty, rookie cop walks into a White Castle. He is intoxicated. It’s 4 in the morning. He’s carrying a gun and isn’t supposed to. That’s rule number one. He broke it. He orders his meal. While in line something happens. Words are exchanged. Since it’s 4 in the morning, the witnesses have varying accounts…

We’re Starting a “Club”. Everyone is Invited.
Tobyjoe and I got to talking last night. We have an idea I think is absolutely fabulous and absolutely easy. Should it work it will prove satisfying for everyone involved. Here’s the deal: The first 5 people to send me their addresses via email (people I DON’T regularly see, please. There’s a reason. It’s not…

The Feast of Fiction
It’s been one of those weeks where I am second-guessing everything I say or do, talk about, eat, wear, think, or forget. Plus, I’m tired. I’m currently reading Charles Baxter, The Feast of Love. Last night, I lay in bed reading. Toby was at the computer. I was at the part where Chloé’s life changes…
