My Head is Burning

Like many folks, I turned to Facebook thinking I would find some interesting blogs among my friends there, but no dice. I've come to realize it's not where I want to go to find good writers, since most of what they write is what you'd catch high school students texting each other. Can we spell boring? Not all are brain dead, but why post a topic if you're not going to give your opinion? And why respond to such a post with an expletive best left in the bathroom? And why oh why, ladies, must yo... read more

It's amazing how quickly the war between Obama and Clinton has become the war between the sexes. Sensing she has lost the all-too-important male vote, she snipes away at her opponent like the also-ran housewife of a two-timing husband, hoping to win the sympathy of a populist-loving female audience. Crying worked, now if she could just figure out how to get her supporters to keep men away from the polls by with holding sex.

This black man versus white woman battle also represents the lat... read more

I'm a longtime consumer of science fiction and fantasy, so when Vichelle gave me the first two of Philip Pullman's epic "Dark Matter" trilogy, it wasn't much more than 24 hours later when I laid down the LAST book, and sighed. A lapsed Catholic, I was particularly taken with the rebellious and unapologetically atheist viewpoint of child heroine, Lyra, and her fierce band, as they evade saboteurs sent by the Church to control her, thereby maintaining world domination. The Evil Church? Hell hat... read more

Our pretend friends need a reminder of who's boss here, and like America did to the Hawaiian Queen Liliokalani, it's time we turned our guns on Saudi royalty and removed them from power. If oil is really that precious, then it should not be controlled by a people consumed by revenge and vendettas. That they caused one of the worse chapters in my life, the great recession of the 1970's, which denied many young Americans the jobs we were made for, and sewed the seeds of discontent that fueled t... read more

Two weeks ago I posted one of my Playa coats for sale, for which I received a number of compliments. Then today I got lemons from Twish, who is not part of Tribe, and who questioned the need for buying my "look", when anyone could go to a thrift store and for $20 bucks, buy a woman's fur coat to decorate. Here is my response, since Twish was not available (fake email address), and suffers from ignorance:

My Testimonials

July 18, 2005
With a groove in his step and a vibe in his heart, John's one of the most intuitive people I know. Always ready to share a wonderfully yummy tale, or an insightful comment on some happenings around us that I always seem to miss. He's known my many, and even those who've never met him approach instinctively like they've known him all their lives, prepared to share their most intimate moments w/o hesitation, like it was meant to be. He's a genuine soul which only takes a few minutes of basking in his light to know that's the case. He's a true and caring friend.
