The Harvesting Effect

[August 30, 2009]

- In loving memory of Eric S. – “The cosmic vacuum of the desert was a perfect place to program young minds.” – Charles Manson Saturday.  As day turned into evening I was battling back the hangover with more alcohol.  Too exhausted to even leave the couch, my X-Box fried beyond repair, I was watching [...]

Chode

[August 19, 2009]

A friend recently got back into town from a dusty yet uneventful overseas deployment and after a phone call we met up the other night at the Whistle Stop for some cold beers and Connect-Four.  Tuesday night is game night at the W/S, and nowadays it’s the best night to rip that place up ever [...]

Kulturkampf (North Park is Dead)

[August 17, 2009]

My X-Box 360 got a red ring of death last night.  I found a gray hair this morning while applying my Rogaine… and North Park is dead! It was a strange day.  I woke up hungover.  My brain felt like it was wrapped in gauze, working its way through a slow burn.  My head felt [...]

“CultFit”

[July 23, 2009]

Over the last several years I have witnessed a disturbing trend in the realm of physical fitness.   The movement known as CrossFit touting its “functional fitness” has spread like genital herpes in a frat house.  Ordinarily I would embrace any tendencies by the general public towards physical fitness, being that I decry the horrors of [...]

Saturation Point

[July 15, 2009]

A target was identified, my hunger was awakened, and a mission was launched.  Atop Mt. Laguna in eastern San Diego lies the decaying corpse of a military base known as a DEW Point.  Using the internet I compiled my research of the site.  Overhead imagery, a crude hand-drawn map of the base facilities, as well [...]

“He [neighbor's "possessed" dog] won’t let me stop killing until he gets his fill of blood.” – David Berkowitz

[June 24, 2009]

I’ve been getting into a lot of fights lately.  Yeah, great, so fucking what.  Huge revelation there, right? Well the thing is that I really have never gotten into that many fights.  Don’t get me wrong, I’m no stranger to smashing a dude’s face in, but the frequency has definitely increased.  Another strange detail is [...]

Atlas Shrugged

[June 15, 2009]

Horns honk intermittently while the sound of engines revving and brakes whining fills in every last gap of silence. There is no silence in the city. There is no silence in modern life. The smell of exhaust is overpowering, the sickly toxic bonding of carbon monoxide with my blood – the human body craves the [...]

Green Farm

[May 3, 2009]

I have long searched through this world for ruins.  Even as a child exploring abandoned places was of primary interest.  Shadow strewn construction sites, haunted burnt-out old buildings, and creepy derelict expanses were both church and school to me.  Lonely places, empty places.  Through my miserable life I have followed this impulse all the way [...]

Obey (Obama) Pepsi

[April 11, 2009]

Sometimes in my travels I have come across something that immediately inspires rage and true hatred inside of me.  These things are not always obvious and can at times be very subtle, apparently innocuous, and for the most part benign, yet they create in me an immediate impulse control crisis that in turn generates the [...]

Your Music Sucks! (and so do you)

[March 29, 2009]

What the hell is going on with music these days? I don’t know if it’s because this is a generation of whiny little emo bitches or if the fact that live studio recordings are completely extinct but music today fucking sucks. Songs are just a collection of a thousand sound-bites, probably unable to be played [...]
