The Good Kind of Fear

Wednesday, April 30th, 2008

“Christian Boo Sale”
That’s what the sign said. It was outside one of those warehouse places that specializes in coffee table books. I guess the “K” had fallen off or blown away.
Or maybe not.
Mega churches have become major commercial ventures and many sects of Christianity use fear to spread their message. Maybe there really [...]

Sunday Snapshots

Monday, April 28th, 2008

I don’t have a camera on my cell phone. I’m probably about the only person left who doesn’t. Besides the fact that I am somewhat of a purist (phones are for contacting someone, not taking pictures, playing games, or surfing the web), I just never saw the point. I’ve gotten through almost [...]

HNT #27

Thursday, April 24th, 2008

I haven’t been posting much lately. I’m not sure why.
If it weren’t for HNT, I might not be at all.
Maybe it’s because the well is dry. Or maybe it’s because it’s spring.

ATTONY

Sunday, April 20th, 2008

You could have knocked me over with a feather from the response I got from my recent post about gas prices cramping mine and the attorney’s style.

The 26th HNT.  It would be the mid-way point if I was to do a year’s worth of them (which I won’t because I close up shop in September.)
So this is the mid-way point of me.
I never really realized I have veins showing along my pelvis.  But, I guess all the excess blood has to [...]

Gaseous Discharges

Wednesday, April 16th, 2008

George Bush is fucking up my relationship.
Technically it’s oil prices that’s fucking things up. But it’s not like he’s connected.
Gas around here hit $3.25 today. Last time I saw it that high was in 2005 after Katrina. It went to $3.30 then. That’s the highest I have ever seen gasoline. [...]

HNT #25

Thursday, April 10th, 2008

Last week for HNT, Atari_Age showed off his worked out triceps, but questioned why go through all the effort if you only see the results when you purposely flex them.
But, they can be pretty noticeable when relaxed, too. It all depends on the angle of view.
