I am the Champion of Stupid. I insist on giving away all my writing, poetry, drawings, and piano recordings—nobody wants them—but I started this before I knew that, so it still counts. I quit jobs (back when I had jobs) whenever I felt they were taking advantage. (They’re always taking…
If I stop and think about it, I can barely remember what was ‘important’ two weeks ago. There was a government shutdown, a chemical weapon in Syria, a record-breaking typhoon devastated the Philippines, a record-breaking cold snap in the whole western half of our country—there were a lot of things.…
We get the shaft, right? Some fat, rich pigs get in a snit over some BS or other—and we find ourselves shooting at each other. We get trained to fly-by-wire the drones or aim the laser sight at the top of the bunker or doing crowd control at some consulate’s…
What else? O, yeah, VOD has new releases I thoroughly enjoyed; first was “The Heat”, a buddy-cop film with Sandra Bullock and Melissa McCarthy —I have a guilty pleasure when it comes to Sandra Bullock—I just like her, what can I say? And who can help but love Melissa McCarthy,…
Tuesday, the Wonder Dog, is ten years old, which makes her seventy, in dog years. So I worry about the impending inevitability, even though she’s still very fit, and only a little more prone to sleeping than she was. Why do I upset myself with these thoughts? They don’t accomplish…
I am opposed to the solutions being offered by the Republican party. Their suggestion that the government be re-opened until January 2014, and the debt ceiling increased until February 2014, is ludicrous. The whole point of this exercise, as I have come to understand it, is to remove these accounting…
I listen to my recordings of myself playing the piano. At first (back in the audio-cassette era) it gave me painful proof that the bliss I felt in playing was not translating into good music—it was something else. Without any musical talent I had kept playing the piano as therapy—always…
I suppose the more accurate title would be ‘Are we asking questions?’—I’m asking if, in a society with ‘news-reporting’ wherein news-people ask the ‘important’ questions, we haven’t lost sight of the fact that we have our own questions we don’t see being asked on the news? No matter how important…
I didn’t enjoy my introduction to life—from birth to the end of high school I was told what to do, what not to do, and what to watch out for. I was told to respect things and people. I was told to obey certain authority figures and to avoid certain…
Early on I was made to understand that life is a struggle, that a lot of life is competition, deception and even violence. What was missing was today’s reassurance of a child’s safety to back me up in the great antagonism that is one’s life. I was schooled quite thoroughly…
