December 2008 Seems So Long Ago

ws-logo-7-seqoe-ui-x200-blueYou should all go do something else now.

Thanks to those who wrote, commented or donated. I wish you all nothing but good luck and success in your future.

Even the ones we lost along the way. If you’re out there, reading this – you all helped me get through a difficult time.

I can’t thank you enough.

This site’s going dark soon. Maybe a couple of weeks? Days? Anyway – I’ll back everything up. It’ll be nice to look back on the place in the future, one day.

I’m sorry some of us fell out with each other.

December 2008. It seems like yesterday sometimes. Just over four years.

Not bad. Anyway – everything changes, and some centres won’t hold.

Again. Thank you.

The Queen is Dead

February 2, 2013 in Important Things Of Our Time

kochWith the passing of Ed Koch, the internet has been awash with comments to the tune of “This closet case should have done more about AIDS because he was gay,” coming from people of all sexual orientations.

Particularly troubling to me is when I hear straight people make comments like this.  Read the rest of this entry →

The Counter Attack (Part 1)

January 30, 2013 in Valentine's Day Love Contest

imageThe plan was to head over to Fucktard’s for the evening. His mom picked me up, and then later she stupidly left me alone with him. (Dumb ass bitch! I don’t understand parents; they think they’re helping and encouraging their kids to have some romantic time by leaving them alone. It’s the worst thing anyone could do considering it’s us — somebody usually almost dies every time.)

Fucktard attacked me! I was having a glass of water and eating a banana when he started throwing boxes at me until I fell down and my glass shattered everywhere. I was on the floor lying on a bunch of glass, and then Fucktard came up to me and took my banana out of my hand, while laughing hysterically at the sight of me squirming around on top of a bunch of glass shards. He started throwing pieces of banana at me. He put banana in my hair, and between my toes. I should have expected this. I had been caught off guard, I had gotten lazy, and I had little slivers of glass in my arms and hands. As I struggled to get up he flung little pieces of mashed up banana into my face.

The Third Annual Wordsmoker Valentine’s Day Love Contest

January 29, 2013 in Valentine's Day Love Contest

It’s that time of year again folks. You know, the one where we get inundated with orders to express our love for our significant other on one certain day, usually in the form of food/jewelry/chocolates, and if we don’t we are to be forever branded as commitment-phobes? Yes, Valentine’s Day, that’s the holiday! Yay, the time has come to once again squeeeeeeeeze our way into our Spanx and go out with all the other boobs attempting to show their unique love at The Melting Pot.

Movie Without Jessica Chastain Released

January 28, 2013 in Cinema

The entertainment world was rocked last night as it was confirmed that a motion picture had been released without the actress Jessica Chastain in it. The indie drama “Difficult To Watch” - about a couple of heroin addicts living in a car in Kentucky during the Winter of 1977 – was shot apparently without Jessica Chastain appearing at least as a secondary character, perhaps a sad prostitute in a dress, or an over-worked social worker with a drinking problem who drives a Honda.

Milk Milk Lemonade

January 25, 2013 in I poo you not, Pottysmoker

If you’ve been reading the news, you probably know that women have been given the green light by the U.S. military to fight alongside their male counterparts on the battlefield.

And if, like me, you’ve dared to wander over to “the other side of journalism” to see the conservative imagination run wild, you probably know that, like we saw with the end of Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell, dozens of op eds are being printed that say a lot more about the people writing them than they do about the issue at hand.  Read the rest of this entry →

The Officer’s Monologue – The Road to Breville

January 2, 2013 in Food And Drink, The Officer's Monologue – A Guide to Fashion, Wordsmoker Publishing

“The Officer’s Monologue” is one male police officer’s continuous narrative about fashion, interior design, decor, dining, and all things esthetic. All remarks are approximate quotes of actual statements made to the author—usually over sandwiches and cookies. Any resemblance between the principal character to persons, living or dead, is purely coincidental.

“I almost didn’t hear you come in,” he says without immediately turning. “I forgot to check my six. I have something that I’ve been waiting to show you. I’m actually pretty excited about it.” Read the rest of this entry →
