  • Old Bones.

    We sat together on a crowded bus. His hair was slicked back, beat into submission by pomade. I imagined his pillowcase at home; sunk deep in a washer, water running off it like ice from a tin roof. He smelled of last night’s booze. The bus stopped and he swayed forward, his movement graceful, like…

  • Bush on the "Democrat Approach"

    Did you hear what our fearless leader said about the “Democrat Approach” in Iraq? Click to hear it. Come on, now. Even some of you Republican folks have to admit it’s a preposterous thing to say. I challenge anyone out there to name one democrate who feels that way. Has it really sunk to this?…

  • Save the Cheerleader. Save the World. Part 2

    A few (more) things about Heroes: 1). I had a thought tonight that the Niki Sanders might actually be Sylar. Either way, she appears to be a mixture of both good and evil. If that’s the case, I’m wondering which side will win. And I can’t help but wonder what her role in all of…

  • My Date Kicking the Crap Out of the Douchebag Who Made This Dumb Film.

    I watched My Date with Drew on Friday night. I’m just going to cut to the chase: This film is awful. It’s so bad; I’m kind of shocked it got the attention that it did. And it goes to show that Americans will watch pretty much anything. Hell, I hated it from the very beginning…

  • The Atheist: A Second-Class Citizen?

    What if God, the being created by man during the Bronze Age, didn’t exist? What if God, just like the Easter Bunny and the Tooth Fairy, was a made up entity? What if Man created the concept of a God? Can you imagine your world and how different it might be if there was no…

  • Cry Over Expired Milk.

    Tobyjoe and I use an RSS feed for my comments. I get a lot of retro comments. Usually they’re pure gibberish. Sometimes they are informative and I write the person back. Sometimes they are really hateful. (Recently I had someone threaten to kill me.) A lot of the time I delete them immediately. There’s one…

  • On Music

    Y’all were so helpful last week with the book suggestions. And I still haven’t picked up a new book but I plan on doing so right before my soccer game tonight. Now, I am in search of music. Actually, a friend of mine wrote me last week asking me for suggestions and I’m an old…

  • I Like You.

    I quit my job yesterday. It was a really tough decision because I love my boss and coworkers. I’ve grown quite attached to them over the last two years. Right after I told my boss I would be leaving she handed me a present she had picked up while out for lunch and for no…

  • On Reading.

    I need a new book to read. Tell me what to read, Internet. I just finished this book. It was OK. For some reason it bugged me that the author brought up places in our hood like Galapagos, Sweetwaters (yes, it had an “S” at the end), and Black Betty. I’m not sure why, but…

  • Save the Cheerleader. Save the World.

    I have been meaning to write something meaningful (and long) about Heroes (the new drama on NBC). But I haven’t had a lot of time and my life is really full and weird and ever changing right now. (That’s a story for another day. Rest assured, I’ll catch everyone up in due time.) Heroes is…
