A Time for Reflection/Starting Over

I am back in the States now, sitting in my living room, looking at my new cat, or maybe it’s my new cat, and contemplating what has happened to my life in the past year and a half. This blog hasn’t been written to in close to 8 months, and frankly, I am glad for [...]

Perhaps a lighter tack

Well, some of you may notice a few missing posts. Once again, I agonized over whether to publish something or not, and decided to go ahead an publish. And, once again, I decided later to take it down. Basically, what you do is go in and mark something private. I have done that a few [...]

A New Beginning

I haven’t posted on this blog for quite some time, and for that I apologize. It was never my intention to stay away for so long, but, here you have it, I did. And I am not sure why, other than the fact that I just did not have a burning need to post. In [...]

A Tale of Two Women

 On Friday, March 14, Erma G. Grantham passed away. She died in Cypress, TX., but really was a resident of the whole state. She lived in many places, most notably in Alice, TX., where I spent a good part of my childhood growing into the person I am today.

There will be blood

Ok, I don’t want to hear any arguments, or back talk. Got it? Good.
Now, go see this movie: There Will be Blood. And do it quickly. It is, perhaps, one of the best movies I have ever seen. And, if it is good enough for me, well, do I need to finish that sentence and [...]

An Oversight

Now, to correct a festering oversight. This is different than the festering boils I typically find upon my ass, usually due to a lack of good hygiene. No, this oversight is something worse.
A few weeks ago, regular readers may remember, I took a gratuitous shot at a good friend of mine. I implied that he [...]

An Aside

Taking a break from the vainglorious enterprise that is this blog, I want to recommend a book that I have recently been reading, titled America’s Secret War. It details the rise of Al Queda, but, more importantly, presents a very compelling view of why the United States is at war in Iraq today, [...]

New Look

I finally decided it was time to kick up the volume on the site today. I am out sick, and between coughing fits and projectile vomiting copiously into my trusty bucket (seriously, it is across the room, but I am too lazy to get up when I feel sick, so, you know, I just [...]

A 1,000 Views!

Ok, I just broke the 1000 view mark. I know, it is pretty paltry, but I am made joyous by small things these days.
Suckers. I can’t believe you read this crap.
