“It was beauty that killed the beast” – Robert Armstrong, King Kong
ACT I – The Blue Beauty I’m sitting here today in remembrance of the Blue Beauty. She was my first car.. a 1987 Buick Skyhawk. I didn’t get my driver’s license until I was 26. Partly it’s because I’ve primarily lived in the city and didn’t need one. But it’s also because I can [...]

I can be a stubborn fuck sometimes. I still won’t acknowledge the existence of Scrappy Doo. Scooby had NO fucking nephews as far as I’m concerned. Oh, and 2010: The Year We Make Contact doesn’t exist either by the way. Although, I tried to change my ways as much as I could when I [...]

Maybe it’s because I’m coming out of witnessing the birth of my 2nd kid.,.. but I’m feeling the feminist part of me sneaking out over the last couple of days. It came out in high school once in a while too. Which explains why I spent some time there in a gym locker every now [...]

In the many issues that are sprinkled in this election year, the issue that seems to be the most confounding to me is the gay marriage issue. I respect (or try to respect) any opinions shared with me, but I don’t get why this one is an issue at all. Since when should certain American [...]

Well, I survived another gift exchange with Heather Pomeroy… so Christmas can’t be all that bad. Most of you know. But for those of you who don’t HP, she is my autistic sister. She’s taller than me, and has a deep, imposing voice. It wasn’t unusual for her to kick my ass when we [...]

For the record, I hate fucking magicians. Not the people themselves necessarily (in some cases, that is), but I just can’t get into that brand of “entertainment”. I guess I don’t like any of the “Ta-Daaaaaa” type of showmanship. But magicians may be the most annoying. Essentially, they’re not doing something that it looks like [...]

I have to give Ingrid Newkirk (founder/field general of PETA) some credit. I’m not sure that I care about any one thing THAT much. I just finished watching the HBO documentary “I am an Animal: The Story of Ingrid Newkirk and PETA”. It was an interesting watch I have to say. But it really makes [...]

I am beyond sick of the battle between Red & Blue in this country. Of course I think we can put a lot of the blame on the imbecile in the White House, who in the last year or so has finally been seeing his constituency bailing on him, (just in time for the [...]

I am so sick of the guaranteed win in sports. Why do people still do that? Why can’t you just play the game & try to make a statement by winning? The latest chucklehead to do it is the Steelers’ Anthony Smith referring to the game with the Patriots last year. Don’t get me [...]

Hugo Chavez is a douche. I don’t want to get into an argument about socialism, mind you. The thing that struck me funny in the referendum is that he would be able to be re-elected INDEFINITELY! I wonder if he slipped that in the middle of a speech somewhere: “Okaaaaaay…. In this referendum your [...]
