You Know It Was a Strange Saturday (and, you still have a great rapport with the cops) When...
...you're sitting at an intersection, a police cruiser pulls up bearing an FTO and a rookie cop and the rook looks at you and says, "what's up with the hat?" He was referring to my Homburg that goes with me during my working day ( Read more... ) -
I would really like a Mulligan on the day
Just... yeah.
I paid my lease, and then the shit just went downhill on me in a big hurry.
Waiter... new day, please. Thanks.
EDIT: I would also like to give shouts out to the kitty, who seems to know when petting is needed during a day like today. I'm going to hit the rack early, then bounce out early to hit this thing fresh tomorrow. -
Little Voice... hope you're right
I was guided back home tonight after only working four hours today. The little voice that helps guide me out on the road said, "You've got enough for gas and dinner plus a little more. Take the night off ( Read more... ) -
Well, Crack...
I had a little meeting with my doctor this week and there seems to be a growing consensus between us that what I have is some form of immune system driven arthritis. Now, if I can just get enough shekels together to visit a specialist we can determine if that's true or not and add other therapies and what not ( Read more... ) -
Writer's Block: Change for the Better over a Decade
Probably the one thing I've done versus ten years ago is I've divested myself of the part of myself that denies me the good things in life. I used to tell myself I'd never become an actor. 7 years ago, I started making money as an actor. I used to tell myself my writing wasn't worth the paper it was printed on, then I started making money doing ( Read more... ) -
SUPER! Thanks for asking...
Now that the marketing hysteria around the home release of Superman Returns has died down for about 6 months, you can now find all four of the Christopher Reeve Superman films for $9.99 at Best Buys and Wal Marts. The two double-sided DVD set contains only the films, and I bought for one reason: to see Superman IV again ( Read more... ) -
Really... it's not about the money.
So, I drove my cab to the Target I'd bought my Garmin at a couple of hours ago. (BTW, this Garmin Nuvi 200W kicks a whole bunch of ass). I got closer to the entrance when I saw a fellow sitting there I'd recognized, one of the people I regularly pick up from various stores and restaurants through the MSP program (Metrolift subsidy - which helps ( Read more... ) -
Writer's Block: Close Encounters of the Celebrity Kind
Strange... some of the people I run with in the anime business are considered "Celebrities" in some form or fashion. I've had a chance to dine with them and share some insights into the business... at the very least, I consider myself wanting in several categories of endeavour. There are even some people who think of me that way - and I really ( Read more... ) -
The Long Haul
First off... I want to express my deep sympathies to the families of Marquis Cooper, Corey Smith and William Bleakley. While the families remain optimistic and have started their own private searches, chances are that we have lost these fine young men. Marquis was a Raider, and that alone gets more attention from me than a lot of folks might. I ( Read more... ) -
I Promised Not To Blog About The Cab Driving Here, but...
1.) For details... http://manleysyellowcab.blogspot.com/
2.) Learning the fine art of "going with the flow" and not trying to push things too hard is resulting in that all-elusive critter... PROFIT.
3.) This is my last week of reduced leases, and I'm definitely ready to go the weekly lease route. I am going into full warrior mode for the next eight ( Read more... )
