Stoned: The Scion Rock Fest
It’s been a little over a week since the Scion Rock Fest flooded our town, and I’ve had time to collect my thoughts I recorded during that time. Not the best grammar or creativity, as most of the notes were recorded under the influence.
We arrived at 10:30 AM, after a delicious breakfast at Ria’s Bluebird. I had the Bionic Breakfast. It was great. What wasn’t great was the...

Recipe: The Bloodsuckingly Best Vegan Lasagna,...
Not a nihilistic post at all. This is “my” first recipe. It’s basically the only thing I can make, consistently, without fucking shit up and that “wow’s” everyone in the house. Meater’s agree! I know… easy. Whatever. It’s a couple people’s recipe I’ve put together and added my “excess” to. Probably the worst directions...

Angsty Scream: "I Gotta Have Faith!"
Without fail, I learn from a Christian that I’ll be going to Hell, each week — since I lack the “faith” they hold so dear. Fine. The argument was also tossed into my face that 2.1 billion humans on this Earth believe in this entity they’re passionate about. Not counting the 1.5 billion that are into the Islam jive. And the others into others. I obviously must be missing...

The Most Disgusting Human on Earth
When I was fifteen, my mother insisted I take driving school. A quick call to “Taggart’s” and a few classrooms later, I was ready to hit the road with an instructor. Saturday comes, and I have an appointment to be picked up at 10 AM, and am already bumming that I’ll be doing this rather than riding. I hear a honk, and run surprisingly eager to hit my real-world experience....

Home for the Holidays
Is good for wide-eyed, blank-stared day-dreaming (pondering on dark matter and black holes and how they might sound from a distance) during “the blessing,” until the “blesser” gets to the part of thanking “God for putting food on the table;” which snaps you quickly into reality; and the piss and shit 46 hours you had to work last week to buy that Tofurkey™ Roast...

To Execrate Entirely
I have severe hate and anger. Some say I’m bitter — I just know what I detest, and know my enemies. Some couldn’t live with such feelings, and that’s fine. I hold dear my darker emotions, as I turn them into personal positives. “Love” and “compassion” is typically abused by the frail. I don’t have time for that, nor do I have time for the weak in my...

The Affair and The Issue
Politics: Talk to me when you’ve really lived, when you’ve dodged their gunfire, when you’ve picked their litter, when you’ve gone anywhere, when you’ve lost your shit, when you’ve fed or consoled their children — when you’ve fought for anything. When you’ve been in the shit. Your opinion, from the sunny side, is obtuse; and a massive laugh to me....

Excuse Me While I Leave
As I age, I find my interest is only in engrossed people. Those almost too involved for friendship. It’s the perfect clash: brief communication, routine schedules — the few rendezvous you do have with them become absolute jewels. I find these people typically have something worth talking about. I’ve been over bitching and boring for a long time.

Opinions and the Mighty Stegosaurus
Violation of the 7th rule of myself: I recently had a friend surmise my integrity, unasked. That is the last time I will transmit with that friend. I don’t have time for inexplicable people.
