Health Junk

I’ve been eating a lot of carrots lately. I have come to the conclusion that I will basically eat anything. I just don’t seem to really care at all. I find that no matter how burnt or gross tasting some leftovers may be, no matter how chunky the milk gets, no matter how fattening I know that huge chunk of icing is I don’t care. I think this is somehow tied either to me being a dude or me being less evolved. The cool thing is that... Read More

Lights in the Sky

The day was hot. The heat sat down over the face of the city, queening it. The heat grows dents on cars and brings restless men to sit on porches. Old women wear shorts exposing their gray withered and veiny stumps while bums emerge from their hiding places to bask on sidewalks and park benches fully clothed. Parking lots become a test of willpower and expressions look even more dire. People walk slow, shoulders slumped, heads down exposing bad haircuts... Read More

The Grotto

Just finished a few new things for the site. LIGHTS IN THE SKY is now up in the thoughtcrime section so you can check that out. I had dinner at Filippi’s Pizza Grotto last night. For those of you who don’t know this place Filippi’s is pretty cool. There is one in Little Italy (where I went to eat) as well as PB (plus a bunch of other spots all over the damn place). Anyway, Filippi’s is cool for many reasons. 1. a giant carafe... Read More

Man Table

Totally long day.. Truck to the shop, oil change, fix brakes. Wait around for UPS, sign form, get packages. Go to Lowes with Kiwidumps, buy wood, make “man table”. Open Bar-b-q, cook meat, eat meat. Yeah, come to think of it, you probably haven’t heard of a “man table” before.. use a little imagination and you can figure it out. Basically its a 3/4″ thick piece of birch cut 6′ x 3′. Underneath it is... Read More

Drama Queen

What a fucking weekend. Block Party in PB, ho-ly-shit.. everybody in town was there. A lot of people had fun and about just as many ended up feeling hurt. I’m not going to get into all the little bullshit details about who said what and who did what to who but the bottom line is that I learned my lesson about what can happen when you booze on a Friday the 13th weekend. At this... Read More

Book IX, The Odyssey

“I was driven thence by foul winds for a space of nine days upon the sea, but on the tenth day we reached the land of the Lotus-eater, who live on a food that comes from a kind of flower. Here we landed to take in fresh water, and our crews got their mid-day meal on the shore near the ships. When they had eaten and drunk I sent two of my company to see what manner of men the people of the place might be, and they had... Read More

24H Fitness Freaks

Attention 24H Fitness in Hillcrest people… STOP THE MADNESS! Noah and I decided today that things had progressed from bad to worse to worser to worstest in a very short time. When we first started going to the Hillcrest 24H fitness when we got back from Iraq we had a feeling that it was going to be a unique experience. Both of us had already seen the best and worst that gyms have to offer over the years and the thought of a gym in downtown Hillcrest... Read More

Mommie Dearest

It’s fucking mother’s day today. This is what we like to call a “hallmark holiday”. Totally made up with no authentic historical basis except for the fact that the greeting card industry decided that a fucking bullshit day called mothers day would sell more cards and shit. I don’t like being manipulated. You know people have these expectations too, especially mothers, and they will never tell you what the fuck they are... Read More

Hunter-Gatherer

Hello, I am a hunter-gatherer. This is by no means a recent revelation, and it has not only been apparent to me but every other member of the group of people I hang out with for years now. In essence, the whole crew consists of a bunch of hunter-gatherers. No we don’t go running around in loincloths and shoot bows and arrows at deers and shit, but we have come to realize that we are members, ... Read More
