Got together with my friend Tazer over there Twitterland and we brought down that gauntlet. We’re both going to write a feature (that she was already doing) called Fuck You Friday . . . on Friday, ironically enough. The challenge is, 1500 words by 3:00 pm EST or 12:00 pm PST . . . the […]
I seriously considered not writing this post at all because you have to be growing weary of the “dad” stories, so I asked some of my regulars if they were getting tired of it. The responses I got were positive so I decided to go for it. My favorite response was from Tom (AKA: Zippy […]
I’ve noticed this memory thing happening lately. I’ve always had a weird memory. Numbers seem to be the magical thing. Numbers and lists. Those things I can memorize in a nearly freakish way. I remember the phone number for the house I lived in as a child. It was in New York and we moved […]
Yes! I changed the blog theme yet again. I’m actually much happier with this one than I was last night. I think you will be too. Except for Tom. He’s a pain in the ass. I was all excited about finding an acceptable theme, it’s dark like I wanted, has all the proper navigation I […]
Ok, so I changed the look of the blog again. Don’t worry, someday I’ll settle on something I like and everything will be in the exact place I want it and be easy to find and it will be perfect. Today is not that day. Although I would be quite pleased with the look of […]
I’ve wandered across a few different topics in the last couple of weeks and I think it’s time to go back to one that I’ve talked about before. That’s right, kids! It’s the return of . . . My father. *collective groan* If you need to catch up on the individual of which I speak, […]
I watch my 16 year old, Tiger, head out to do his 16 year old things and it makes me think, “Damn, I hope he gets as lucky as I did and manages to live through the retarded years.” People complain about the internet and video games and cell phones and all the conveniences our […]
I’m gonna be brief tonight, for a couple of reasons. For one thing, there is a fly in my house and he’s a total asshole. I can’t kill him because he’s some kind of a ninja fly and he is immune to my Mister Miyagi chopsticks and he also has the ability to dematerialize just […]
Ok, so I only kind of stole it. I mean, it’s HALF mine. Since I started doing this blogging thing, I have scoured I have no friggin’ idea how many blogs looking to others for ideas and techniques and tips and really, a whole hell of a lot of entertainment. I have read posts that […]
Top 20 Tuesday can suck it this week. I got something on my mind . . . Let me be straight with you folks (there’s a joke in there, you’ll see in a minute), I am about as into politics as a teenager is into homework. I could really give a shit less. Politicians care […]
