This past Wednesday was a lot of things, and most of them were bad. But one very aspect of today was exciting, fun, and borderline enlightening. After dealing with nasty and baffling site related issues (I’m sure you were aware) I went to the cigar bar to enjoy a special event they were having. On … Continue reading
I cannot imagine how much nicer a vista a glance around the grocery store or gas station would become if we abolished some of the current fashion trends. I’d like to imagine a world where I can gaze across the horizon and be sure to see neither stirrup pants nor pimp chains. I’d like a … Continue reading
My Mother was 41 when I was birthed. My Dad was only 30. She had been previously married, and had 2 sons with that guy. My brothers are 21 and 22 years older than me. I didn’t grow up around them, and they were out of the house around the time I was born. They … Continue reading

Other times I just see a funny looking moment in the film. Here are some stills. I’d write captions, but … Continue reading
Sen. Sam Brownback of Kansas and Sen. Mary Landrieu of my home state, Louisiana, have teamed up to introduce a bill that would ban the creation of human/animal hybrids at the federal level.
