This Post is Offensive

Not because I want it to be offensive, but because it will be . . . to somebody, somewhere. How do I know that? Because EVERYTHING offends somebody. I’d like to thank BarbaraM for inspiring this post.  She was the first (and at this point, the only) person to comment on my last post.’ Understand, […]

The Plunge into Stand-up Comedy, Part 3

I don’t know what to do here.  I want to get on the stage and make people laugh.  I want to get things rolling.  I HAVE to do this because I will not leave this as a regret. I’m fucking exhausted. I’m working . . .and working . . .and working . . . and […]

The Plunge into Stand-up Comedy, Part 2

  I’m kinda diggin’ this weekly update thing I’ve pressured myself into.  It keeps me on my toes, keeps me motivated and *deep breath* continue to face down my fear of failing miserably. You folks that have commented, both here and on my Facebook page . . . Goddamn, I love the support, encouragement and […]

The Plunge into Stand-up Comedy, Part 1

Don’t be fooled by the title too much.  It’s not so much a “plunge” as it is a “dipping of toes into the cold pool like a bitch” into Stand-up comedy.  I’ve been thinking about this for a very long time and now I’ve put it out there to my public . . . and […]

The Mid-Life Career Change Crisis

Sometimes I feel like I need to sit down and write something on here again and I get an idea.  I ponder it, come up with clever statements about it, form opinions and take in the opinions of others.  I toss the idea around in my head over and over again until finally, I decide […]

Spank the Stigma!

I know, I’ve got a lot of gall disappearing for weeks on end, then upon my (probably brief) return, I turn around and ask you all for a favor. That’s what I’m doing, though. Trust me, it’s a good cause, and probably a cause close to everyone’s heart. So let me get to the matter […]

Liz’s Soapbox . . .

I’m going to go a little bit outside of my usual feeble attempts at humor and regular sprinkling of profanity and share this post that was written by my friend and personal savior, Liz.  You’ve all heard me mention her frequently before, but this time the post is written by her completely, and it covers […]

I’m running for President again

It’s been just over 4 months since I’ve posted.  Doesn’t come anywhere close to my record of 4 years between posts, but a long time nonetheless.  I’m still trying to decide if it is lack of motivation, lack of interest or lack of anything I deem as interesting to say.  I’m sure it’s a combination […]

Trying to keep my standards low

Since we’re all pretty much drowning in New Year’s resolution bullshit all over the interwebs and bloggerwebs and where the hell ever else it always pops up this time of year, I’ll just stick to this as my resolution for 2016: Keep my standards low. Or as @RageMilchele helped me put it . . . May […]

Insert Lame Excuse Here

  What does one say when they have vanished off the blogging globe for over 2 months, with long periods of the site being down during that time? Nothing.  One says nothing, that’s what he says. I’ve been trying to get and keep my life on track and it has flipped my circadian rhythm into […]
