I have a checkered history with video games. I’m not like most other people my age when it comes to video games. I think it’s because of a complicated variety of forces that guided my adolescent behavior. The result is that Protestant thrift and Catholic guilt kept me away from video [...]

So the first thing I hear on NPR news this morning is about Governor Sanford. After so famously going all John C. Calhoun on President Obama by refusing stimulus money, it turns out the Governor was visiting his Argentinian mistress. I’d like to really jump all over Sanford about this, but there’s something [...]

Now that Facebook has hooked me up with a lot of my high school friends I’m dusting off a lot of synapses. It’s always good to reconnect synapses, especially when they’re musical memories. Each time I see old friends, I hear the music they planted in my brain forever.

I used eat, sleep and breathe REM for a period of my life. Then after the Monster CD I kind of lost track of them. I like their hits, but nothing new really tripped my trigger until the “Reveal” cd came out. That reminded of the REM I used to know, love [...]

Last month was the last straw for my right shoulder. It’s suffered more than 20 years of abuse, and decided that it was mad as hell and wasn’t going to take any more. My upper arm felt the time was right to secede from my shoulder and maybe, eventually my entire body. [...]

I’ve never had a better job for viewing human nature at its most vapid as being a barback in a shameless meat market bar. It had the most crowded Ladies nights and Friday Happy Hour. People would line up outside the door to see and be seen by all the sleazy meat market [...]

My friend Dave had a cat named Stan that he got as a kitten. Stan, like all kittens was cute as hell, and was really funny when he got into the catnip.
It came time to get Stan neutered. We felt kind of bad for him because he was getting his balls cut off [...]
