In between the feel-good crap I like to post, I also keep on local current events. Especially when it’s a kidnapping that’s happened in my childhood neighborhood. Actually, there wasn’t a kidnapping – it was a mistaken event some kindly neighbor witnessed including a dude shoving a girl into a car. I didn’t learn anything about it until after it’d been clarified this was a visual misunderstanding from the observing.. Read More
Teacher out on bail for student-screwing, screws student.
Ever fantasized about your teacher as a kid? I sure as shiz did. I remember Mr. Russell (sounds like a convenient, unimaginative, fantastical construction given my love of Russell Brand, but – yes – he was real). He taught track and my English class and had an ass that belonged in pants far better fitting than the travesty of trousers he actually wore. He was tall and muscular with ken.. Read More
The shade in this 40’s yearbook is RILL.
It’s easy to forget things were way diff back in the year nineteen-typewriter-and-pincurls. Like, I try to consider (sometimes, when I’m bored, supposed to be working, or both) being Pleasantville style transported back to a retro-era. Pointy sweater breasts. Long skirts. Everything in reality transpiring through Instagram’s “Inkwell” filter. And no matter how many times I try to Delorean daydream myself into a pre-now era, I know the reality wouldn’t.. Read More
Can sports help you sport a smile?
So, I just saw a Distractify list: “The 30 Most Photogenic People of All Time”. Naturally, it was fun to thumb through (or thumb and pointer finger – because: laptop mouse); I mean, who doesn’t like looking at pretty people? But as I was visually flipping through these candid snappies capturing grace under pressure, something occurred to me. Well, a few things. First, most of these images were taken at.. Read More
I won’t be happy till I have a Task Manager implant.
I wish I had a mental task manager. Obviously one that nixes people and events would be optimal…but I fancy myself a realist. So, I’ll settle for a behavior-modifying brain app. (A mockup of .0001% of mine. A legit scroll bar’d be naught but a horizontal sliver. What would yours say?) Yeah. One like this image. Just something that just changes me – my perceptions – without me having to,.. Read More
5 things we can learn from these animals
Much like all of non-human nature, I learn a lot from my dog. I learn the value of rest, the simple bliss experienced at the touch of another creature, how to properly greet someone I haven’t seen all day (or for ten minutes), and how to really revel in the delight of dinnertime – spilling the contents of my bowl everywhere. A happy, joyous, slob. And, thanks to the joint.. Read More
Not synonymous: accepting vs. agreeing with compliments
Really? This “social experiment” went viral and made news? So, the idea was this: A hot British teen (Aha! Got your attention now!) decided she’d give compliment-acceptance online a try. But first – let’s back up. For a little context (in case you’ve never gotten a compliment, given one, or been an insecure female). There seems to be an epidemic of not-being-able-to-take-a-compliment-itis from which many a woman seems to suffer… Read More
And now for a bog brothel. Run by Gary Busey’s nephew.
Sure, Michael Busey’s “Sausage Castle” looks like True Detective’s pedo-swamp home. But inside, it’s more like “The Bunny Ranch” meets Warhol’s 60’s era “Factory”. I just let my eyes meander across a Vice article on this Floridian bog brothel, told through photography. And the images are fantastic. While a lot of the commenters didn’t seem to appreciate it much (the people are dirty and indulgent – and like the saying.. Read More
Obstacles ahead… and behind.
On the sneaker heels of my “addiction” rant, is this one, today: About how I’m being denied my trail-jog addiction. And how this one betch is killing my vibe even when I’m not. You see, I try to make my jogs a peaceful thing. Calm. Tranquil. The opposite of how I used to be at the gym (“The answer’s yes – if you’re on the machine next to me, we’re.. Read More
Dinner and: WRATH (Showtime’s 7 deadly sins)
Ha! You didn’t think this “Dinner and…” series would last past its pilot, did you? Did you? DID YOU?!?! ANSWER ME!!!! And voila. That’s my intro for today’s episode from last night’s dining entertainment: a Showtime series dubbed “7 Deadly Sins”. My favorite, as you can mayhaps tell, is: wrath. While the series covers all’a them, the whole season’s already ended and now the entire collection resides in my OnDemand.. Read More
