chainsaw mary

It felt like a drug deal. I walked into the motel lobby and looked at the dark young man behind the desk, “I’m here to see Chainsaw Mary,” I told him.
“Go over to that phone,” he answered, pointing to a small black rotary phone sitting on a stained end-table. “Dial 7206. Someone will come get [...]

whatever weakly

I wrote this piece and submitted it, to have it returned within an hour stamped with a big HELL NO.
Whatever. I changed a bit, me and publications don’t want the same thing, I know this. And now I’m posting it instead. This is why I love my blog.
The thick skin is growing. Back to work [...]

life is not like dinner

Homework taught me that life is backwards. So did dinner.
I learned that getting homework done first and partying second was the best way to go. That way you don’t end up writing hungover essays. And that gin & tonic tastes better when you really deserve it for being so good.

the AMBER Alert bill, passed both the House [...]

Nah. I really don’t feel like making up another story. Read the one I just wrote in the previous post. And just feel good to know that I came back and put something here for you.
March 31
Today we left Moab after shopping in the A.M. for my mom’s bday present. Paul didn’t feel too good. [...]

slow to post

This is a backblog post. I can’t really remember what I did on this day, so here’s a little story for you, about the first time I said a word over and over so much it lost all meaning:
When I was nine years old I smoked for the first time. I stole a pack of [...]

i’m on a kick, step off

So what, I want to post a bagillion things about the war right now.
This is a post from FmH. He summed up the news he read when he got home from a vacation. I wish I woulda thought to do that.
And this is another one from him. This is about patrotism, kinda.
