There have been a few things happening to me lately as I walk around that I thought were interesting enough to write down. Here they are, in somewhat random order. People have this very cute need to protect me. The other morning as I took Trixie down for her first of the morning business, I …

A realization
I had a funny thought strike me as I walked home tonight. Trixie and I were walking along and as we passed a group of dudes, one said, “What a beautiful girl.” I smiled and said, “yeah, she’s an awesome dog,” and kept going. a little while later, I thought, “Ya know, someone could hit …
Waste? I’d Say So.
Here’s your random thought for the day. In this age of oil shortages and skyrocketing gas prices – does the idea of NASCAR not seem absolutely retarded? I’ve always thought it was dumb to watch people turn left for 3 hours and see who could do it 400 times first but, in this context, it …
Just Another Manic Monday
Hello Friends; So I’m back from Ottawa, only to be informed upon my return home that I had a funeral to attend. Welcome home, Matt. It’s not like I was super close to the person… but deaths are rarely something that make you feel all warm and fuzzy. Today I am back on the hunt …
Apologies, Elections, Wrestling And A Crazy Cake Lady. What More Could You Ask For?
Sorry it’s been such a slow week around here. Between Carin getting ready to go on her trip, me having some truly horrible nights of sleep and I think fighting off some kind of cold, and Matt being away at a gay bathhouse convention, the poor Comet has kind of been getting neglected. I’ve been …
GDB Reunion, Here I Come!
Well, believe it or not, I’m almost ready to go to the GDB reunion. Tomorrow morning at 5:05, Red Car service, a big old van that drives people to the airport, will pick me up. Trixie’s going to be some pissed. Because we’re flying for so long with no chance to relieve, I kinda have …
A Lesson In Communication
Here’s something that not everyone seems to know about communication. It goes two ways. While one person talks, the other person is supposed to be receiving those strings of words and processing them inside their brain so that they can form a response that matches what they just heard. The listener isn’t supposed to just …
Paper Planes
Morning, Campers! Has anybody heard that song Paper Planes by M.I.A.? It’s kinda trippy. I may get flamed for saying I like it but it’s kind of catchy. Sure it’s poppy but at least it sounds different than anything else getting churned out right now… and I’ll give them points for that. The NFL kicks …
Updates About Stuff And Stuff
Well, it’s time for a post full of ramblings about the mundane details of my life. Anyone who wants a nap could probably get one now. Grandma’s service last weekend was really amazing. The service itself was pretty ordinary, but it was all the feeling around it that made it so incredible. We showed up …
Yup
What a day. I don’t even know why I say that – I’m just grumpy. I will try and keep the venom being spewed here to a minimum but sometimes you just have those days where shit pisses you off pretty hardcore – and ultimately it’s pretty marginal crap. For one thing. Maroon 5 can …
