“I mean, some cars tires turn faster than others…” Chelsea Tuesday night my Muse texted me with a link to a YouTube video and implored me to watch it because, “The dumb bitch really had me laughing.” Having nothing better to do at the moment, I clicked on the link and proceeded to be surprised…
Reed My Writing
Elway, Manning, Tebow and why God hates me
He’s the kind of guy that you hate with a passion, until he comes to your team. I’m a Raider fan and make no apologies for that. I’ve loved the Raiders since I was a kid and I will until the day I die. I tell you this so you understand why I’m saying…
Stuff my mom forwarded me this week
I was sitting at my desk the other day when I received an e-mail from my mom. Then I got another. And then one more. All told I received three forwarded e-mails in a five minute period, which was actually a pretty slow day for her. After deleting the e-mails without reading them I had…
Kicking a Star in his land down under
I’m still unclear on the whole “Nicole Richie fashion icon” premise Tuesday night I turned on Fashion Star about halfway through. Don’t judge me for that until you hear my reasons. A) My brother and sister in law are both fashion designers B) I needed to figure out why the commercials touted…
Everybody Talks
Hey baby won’t you look my way I can be your new addiction Neon Trees I’m 46. Does liking Neon Trees make me an aging hipster or just a dude who likes good music? Now that I think about it I also like Silversun Pickups which probably means I might possibly be a bit…
Whitney’s greatest love of all
“Yeah,” I replied. “Pretty much.” By now everyone knows Whitney Houston died last month, most likely from overdosing on prescription pills. I began writing this post almost immediately after her death but my Muse talked me into waiting “a while” before doing so. I looked at a calendar this afternoon and noted that its been…
An amazing voice
Christina’s rack isn’t the focus of this post. Seriously. Dateline: Monday night Around 9:30 I began channel surfing and came across The Voice. I’ve never seen the show but I heard some dude singing and he sounded good. Damn good actually. With one of my favorite train wrecks (The Bachelor) cutting in…
Wordless Wednesday–totally cool
The Dodgers are insane
And in related news, rape victims are partially to blame. First things first, I am NOT a Dodgers fan. Nor am I a Giants fan. I grew up watching the Angels and have long loved the Cubs. This isn’t a story about baseball, but about ultra-wealthy greedy people who try to…
Daddio is in da hizzle
…but it’s my little slice of heaven and I’m gonna roll with it. I don’t know a damn thing about branding. I know I haven’t properly branded this site and if I did know how, I’m sure it would be more successful. Don’t get me wrong, I get good traffic, but there are a…
The baby at the gas station
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. …
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…
