In Costa Rica Until Further Notice
MidLife Crisis
(Title stolen from, but unrelated to, Angel Dust) Do you know who you are? Of course you do. You can look around at your life and see the answer as plain as day. Your job, your home, your (sex) toys, the people you choose to be stuck with, it’s all kinda just a physical manifestation, or representation …
Die, Die My Darling
(Title stolen from but unrelated to the Misfits) I’m not one of those who thinks, ‘back in my day things were better; men were men, women were women, and music was music.’ Mostly, the only folks who think ‘those were the good old days’ are white, heterosexual, males who’re pouting that now it’s their turn to let …
Man On The Burning TightRope
(Tidal Stolen From FireWater) In spite of all the shit talking I do about how much better life would be if we’d just get over our hand-me-down hang-ups I always try and avoid thinking in terms of our lower-selves vs. higher-selves or our animal-nature vs. human-nature, or any of that insufferable out-dated black-and-white-thinking bullshit. Those …
Damn Right God Plays Dice!
You step into a murky casino filled with smoke of many colors. Expensive cigars, cheep cigarettes, pipes, hashish, cloves, marijuana, incense, opium, and then some. The combination of scents isn’t over-all not displeasing, just vivid. As people walk by, the swiftly moving ones leave trails of cleaner fresh air in their wake. Along with smoke …
Evolution Is Not Good!
Anyone who tries to tell you that humans have descended from apes is full of shit! Humans are still apes. We’re just slightly more evolves chimps who’ve domesticated themselves out of convenience. In fact, genetically people are closer to Chimpanzees/Bonobos than the Indian elephant is to an African elephant. Our particular branch of evolution started …
The Electric Sliding Scale
Picture it: It’s the end of the month, around the end of the year, and all your bills come due; rent, phone, holidays, heat… that embarrassing trip to the Emergency Room to have that thing dislodged. And to top it all off your stuffed animal decoupaging business has yet to take off. You’re strapped for …
Heretic Pride
(Title stolen from, and yet unrelated to, the Mountain Goats) Now that I am middle aged – the summer of life, I like to think – I have finally figured out what I want to be when I grow… Upper. I wanna be a heretic. I am not saying this to sound cool or shocking. …
Bridge
As you can imagine, my last post inspired a few folks with differing opinions to pose some counterpoints. Some threats, some propositions, and a few that with enough lube could fit snugly into either category. To paraphrase one sent by someone backing around Germany, “If people are capable of so much, why don’t they use their …
People Suck
People Suck – or at least that’s what I hear from; friends, coworkers, folks I randomly eavesdrop on in public, and of course, Bill Hicks. It makes me wonder, is this some original-sin type of self-loathing, or a me-against-the-world kinda hyper-elitism? Are these men, woman, and children admitting they too are a people, and that they …
