I Believe... [Happy Fourth—Party in the ICU]

...that, admittedly, Independence Day this year feels a bit like throwing a party for friend in a coma from an awful car accident who has no health insurance. “I’m sorry, sir. You can’t shoot that bottle rocket off in here. This is the ICU.”

In My Solitude

So no, don’t quit your job and walk or hitchhike across America, as fun as that may sound.

Chapter Forty-Nine

Mickey turned and raised his eyebrows to him. “She smokes.” He inhaled from the depths of his belly, smiling, closing his eyes. “Smell that? What you think she does with those ashes?”

Notes from the Post-it Wall | Week of June 26, 2022

Look on the bright side of things. The pandemic was a boon for hand sanitizer manufacturers and with Roe v. Wade overturned, the makers of Plan B are going to make a killing!

The Cold (un)Civil War

These are all the warning bells of a new era of states rights and a roll back from federal control in the United States and the Left side of the issues continues to blare the outrage that this is all the fault of Donald Trump.

Pro-Life: A Call to Action!

Now that it’s done—that great stain on the American Experiment that was a guaranteed right to safe parental planning through a woman’s—a family’s—ability to choose—it’s time for the Pro-Life Movement to take action and really lean into that Pro-Life Lifestyle.

It's My Baby (to the tune of "It's My Party")

It's my baby, and I'll kill it if I want to
Kill it if I want to, kill it if I want to
You would kill it too
if pregnancy was forced on you

Notes from the Post-it Wall | Week of June 19, 2022

There are far too many pro-life folks celebrating in the misery of their fellow humans this week. Hardly a surprise.

Finding Purpose in a World on Fire

What purpose do I serve? Am I merely a creature of consumption and survival or is there something more than drives me? These are questions I'd guess an awful lot of people are asking right now. COVID shocked the world into a dark gaze into the void of routine and comfort, of complacency in the face of chaos just at bey.

I Believe... [Binary Choices]

...that the internet operates on a binary set of numbers, 1’s and 0’s. Humanity operates with far more complexity. As the internet continues to evolve into humanity’s primary means of communication, we can’t help but begin to see the world in binary terms.

I Like to Watch | The Rocky Saga (1976 - 2006)

This is the wisdom of Stallone. The wisdom of someone had to fight like hell just to star in the movie he wrote for himself. The wisdom of someone looked down upon, laughed at, and ignored yet refused to give up. That's the legacy of Sylvester Stallone and it is most crystallized in his character most like himself.

Advice From a Dimwitted GenXer to Himself

Success comes from a cocktail of luck, timing, and the willingness to be completely reckless and thoughtless and bold.

In Defense of Donald Trump

I Believe... [First the Show, Then the Convictions?]

...that if, at the end of the January 6 Commission’s hearings, no one significant goes to prison, it was all just a campaign commercial.

[EXCERPT] Gorski and The Goat

On a urine-stained olive green cot in the back room of Rosalda’s Cantina in Ciudad Juarez, I came to. Blacked out. Again. A smell I couldn’t quite put a finger on. Rank breath, a muffled gurgle and what felt like whiskers. I hope not our hostess, or worse, one of her chicas.

American Jobs—Selling Amoco MultiCards to Old Women

"But doesn't it bother you any? I kind of feel like crap after a shift. I keep thinking about all of these poor people who can't afford these things and that we just hammer them over and over until they sign up for the card to be polite. I dunno. It seems... unethical or something."
