I've Been "Roved" by Miss Goody Two Shoes
Roved - to be slimed, character assassinated, swiftboated, and stoned, all in the pursiut of popularity and clicks. Some Goody-Two Shoes, holier-than-thou, sanctimonious $#%& dropped a turd in one of my blogs, and when I objected, she went crying to the teacher that I had called her names. Then, in...

Happy New Year (even to those who can't stand my blogs)
I hope all of you had as great a year as I did. 2005 started slow and, in truth, was looking as one of my worst years ever, before the fickle of finger of fate pointed my way. Call it whatver you want, karma, luck or the hand of God. I switched professions and everything about my world changed, for...

You have 254 unread messages and $500 from Paypal!
First, my laptop bombed. Then my prized G4 dual processor went kaput, and suddenly I'm without an axe for almost a month. I tried to fix the laptop on my own, but when I figured in the cost of repair, data recovery, labor, etc. It made more sense to buy a new one. I haven't given up on my G4, but...

Is this Wrong?
Two grown men, in the lobby, are dancing like fools. Is this wrong? When John showed me the size of my first commission check ($11,000, which I had to split with Tom) we high-fived each other. Tom and I started dancing in the lobby. I did a pathetic attempt at hipness my clasping my hands in front...

Confronting thieves ...
This was no practice sparring match in the gym. This was a street fight. The African-American impoverished teenager from an economically challeneged neighborhood menacingly swung a tricyle at me while I measured his reach and waited, waited, waited. I knew he was going to throw the trike at me and...

My Near Affair
As I felt her climb into bed, all I could think of was her luscious brown nipples capping her full chocolate breasts. What kind of man and friend was I? Was I so non-threatening that she could climb into bed naked not worry about being pressured to have sex because I was "a good friend," or was I at...

Sorry, but 10 a.m. is to early to start drinking ...
Walked into my office today and Crystal asked me if a wanted a drink. Coffee would be great, I said. No, she replied. I have a bottle of Crown in my truck. Want a drink? Um, No! She's not giving me sex, so I don't care if she thinks I'm a geek. We decided last night that a 26-year-old ex-stripper...

An Alcoholic's Moment of Clarity
Tonight, for the first time ever, I have amazingly understood where I am in my life. It came to me in a dream, and the imagry is so vivid and truthful that here I am, up in the middle of the night, committing it to memory before it slips away. When I was younger, beginning my career as a newspaper...

What's Love Got to Do With It?
You're at a Christmas party. Everyone has a buzz and is in a good mood. Because of previous committments, your spouse is not there. In the corner of your eye, you spot a skank. Unattractive, hideous, physically unappealling. She offers to take you upstairs and demonstrate a marvelous skill. And to...

I Met a Guy Even More Overprotective about his kid than me!!!!
Charlie and Selenda were the only two people we recognized at a friend's Christmas Party. We last saw them three years ago when Selenda was pregnant with a miracle baby after several miscarriages. Appropriately, they named their daughter Faith. Charlie was an engineer for Halliburton when I last saw...
