You are truly rad. Your friend? Not so much. UPDATE: It’s now being reported that the mother GAVE the baby to the woman at the gas station and that the baby was never actually dumped in a bag. Let’s go ahead and add “What kind of crazy bitch fakes this story?” to the mix. …
Sex and The Single Dad
The new and possibly improved J.R.
It’s all about the attitude and let’s be honest, I’m full of attitude! Like most people I’ve tried to lose weight over the years and have been less than successful. How unsuccessful was I? One time I somehow managed to tack on eight pounds to what I already weighed and that completely sucked ass. In…
Alone doesn’t necessarily mean lonely
I finally feel like I’m ready and that is totally rad. A couple weeks ago I received an e-mail from Good Men Project saying they were looking for posts about solitude. I immediately replied and said I know all about solitude and that I would get them something. If you read my blog on…
Fall To PIeces
I keep a journal of memories I’m feeling lonely, I can’t breathe Velvet Revolver Every once in a while someone comes into your life seemingly by accident, yet later on you come to realize that it was no accident. I have someone like that in my life. My Muse has helped me through a…
Tonight Is What It Means To Be Young
Forget the fact that Al Gore hadn’t yet invented the Internet… Everyone has a song (or songs) that instantly trigger memories. You hear it and your past comes rushing to the front of your mind. For me, this is one of those songs. It was August 1984 and I was a freshman at a…
Other priorities
What do you have? Here’s a great story for you. My ex, Baby Mama, is behind on paying child support to me. When we first split she was hurting financially so I didn’t pursue the issue. I was trying to be a nice guy. Almost nine years later she decided to step up to the…

Cruising on a Friday
In her defense, it was black and one could make the argument it was hard to see. My teenage Drama Queen’s first semester of high school was officially over Thursday and the students had a day off on Friday. With that in mind, I arranged to meet my friend Steve at his son’s apartment a…
I’m a big loser
I was going to give myself a virtual high five for the catchy title, but the more I thought about it, a fifth grader could have come up with it. My apologies. This is my before and after. In case you’re confused about which is the before, the one on…
A teenage life lesson
I need to go find a way to accomplish that. Somehow. Yes. That’s me in 1984. I’m not sure where to start mocking myself. Is it the hair? The glasses? How about that shitty wanna be porn ‘stache I was trying to grow? Maybe the fact that I was 6 ft 180 pounds and a…
Somewhere Over The Rainbow
And the dreams that you dreamed of Once in a lullaby Israel “IZ” Kamakawiwo’ole (Hawaiian pronunciation: [ka-maka-iwo’ole] If someone told me I would be quoting lyrics from the High Holy Diva of homosexual men (Judy Garland) I would say you’re sm0king crack AND sniffing glue. Yet here I am, quoting song…
How many balls are too many?
…the more balls the better. First off, this is NOT a post about balls. I swear. I’m a guy and when the opportunity to make a ball joke pops up, I have to roll with it. Ya know? So if it’s not about juevos, what is this post about? I’m glad you asked. Wednesday was…
A tale of two years
It’s finally 2012 and for that I’m glad. 2011 was a shitty year for me, but I have big hopes for 2012. Of course, a year ago I said I had big hopes for 2011 and we know how that turned out. 2011 saw my health deteriorate and lots of financial stress,…
Miracles do happen
I totally just made that up. With no liquor involved. Cool. First off, Merry Whatever-it-is-you-celebrate. I could lace this blog post with innuendo and double entendre, but for some reason I don’t feel like it tonight. I mean, yule logs, eggnog and mistletoe jokes are easy holiday entertainment, but I’ll…
