Just In Case You EVER Forget
I AM RIGHT.
Read More..>>Return of the Van
In the last post, I mentioned that the minivan would be back. Here is the second chilling tale of the van.
After making the inaugural trip to Philadelphia, and losing the muffler in the process, the van and I began our daily relationship driving back and forth to my advertising job. It was a [...]
Deep Thought
At my friend’s bookstore this afternoon, a guy overheard me mention my birthday.
“Congrats,” he said. “My son just turned 14. Do you remember what it was like to be 14?”
“Actually, I do,” I replied. “in fact, I’m as angry now as I was then, if not angrier. And i’m angry about the same things.”
It’s [...]

I was really hoping I’d find a video on youtube for this song, which I’ve been saving up for today.
There were barefoot dreams of catching outlaws
There were school dreams of catching footballs
There were young dreams of finding great romance
There were armies and I took the chance

The bourgeoisie had better watch out for me. All throughout this so called nation, we don’t want your filthy [...]

At the time there was this whole “skate and destroy” meme going around. I wanted to destroy plenty of things just as much as anyone else, but I never figured out what the two had in common.
Given how angry we made the cops, I thought “skate [...]
Portrait of the Artist With a Giant Mohawk
I’d put this photo at or about 1986. That’s my buddy Kellfire Bray in the beret (berets were cool in the 1980s). The reason the mohawk is so shiny is because I would obsessively apply the strongest Aqua-Net hairspray available (it came in the white can) over the course of the day: I [...]

Yup, it was real alright.

Merle Haggard, “A Workin’ Man Can’t Get Nowhere Today
No one’s made a video yet for this song, and someone should.
For that matter, some mainstream female country star would have a huge hit by remaking this song as “A Workin’ Mom Can’t Get Nowhere Today”.
I don’t think Merle will mind if I publish the lyrics. [...]
