lone
I've been sick the past few days. Nothing major, just a virus or something. Feverish, slept a lot. Minor as it was, it's times like that when I feel most alone. I don' t *need* someone to care for me. But it would be nice to know someone cared. I don't feel like anyone cares. Like Kendrick says, aint nobody praying for me. Like if I died, nobody ( Read more... ) -
drunk and soiled
Last night, I was home alone. My son was with his mother. After driving out to Pine Lake to pick up the paint fan I'd forgotten there to choose colors for my new home, I wrestled with stopping to get some whiskey and ultimately decided was pinned. I stopped at the liquor store on Memorial and Mooreland and got a bottle of Evan William's single ( Read more... ) -
Transmonikers
I am no expert on transgender. But as my former neighbor (and continued friend) has been involved in relationships with two wanna-be guys since I've known her and has a number of friends of this persuasion, something weird has come to my attention.
It seems that when these women decide to lead their lives as a man, in addition to any physical ( Read more... ) -
(Untitled)
Leaving work last night at the end of a trying and less than satisfying day, I ran into a colleague in the elevator. She resides on another floor than mine and we don't know each other well at all ( Read more... ) -
Kiss, Buble Battle For No. 1 On Billboard 200
Which I guess is either a comment on the irrelevancy of album sales today or just the continuing devolution of American culture.

satirized reality
I was flipping past a beauty pageant tonight. I think it may have been Miss Universe. Miss USA Kristy Swanson five-second synopsis was described by the announcer as "hopes to one day be a motivational talk show host. She enjoys online shopping and playing board games with her family." -
bikes
When I returned to Atlanta in 2006 after nearly four years in Florida, I was surprised at the number of people who now ride bicycles, many as their primary transportation, it appears. It makes sense with the high price of fuel. You also see a lot of Vespa-like scooters and assorted mini-bikes (like the kind 12-year-olds rode in the '70s. Really!), ( Read more... ) -
This is funny for a minute
it must be sweet to get financing to do dumb-ass (but sorta funny) shit like this.

Schwag
I attended a trade show a few weeks ago in conjunction with my job responsibilities. Like most trade shows, exhibitors were giving away many inexpensive trinkets to promote their products. I have no interest in this stuff because 1. I already have enough useless stuff so I don't need or want more T-shirts, bracelets, temporary tattoos, mouse pads, ( Read more... ) -
i feel fucked
ran into a person with inside knowledge of the situation. It's turned into a "political thing." it seems i had the job, it was indeed mine. then somebody, it's not known who, decided they wanted to expand the search. so even though i went through the organization's official process, was vetted by an interview team and determined to be the strongest ( Read more... )
