I really dig skateboarding. It’s damn cool, in fact. I tried getting good at it when I was a teenager, but I’ll be honest in saying that I didn’t give it 100%. Hell, I probably gave it about 20%, and that won’t get you anywhere but basic olleys and injuries. I wish I would have […]
1984. Not the 1984 or George Orwell. No, this was the 1984 of this movies for me. There were several movies that year I remember distinctly remember seeing. Don’t know why it was that year, but for some reason the age of 7 was when I started committed movies to memory, and it was the […]
On Saturday night a few of us gathered to eat some food and hang out, and in the course of the evening we ended up watching the SNL Presidential Bash, where clips of political skits were shown from season’s past. This got me to thinking about a great clip from The Daily Show when they […]
Some of you may recall this story from earlier in October in this space. It was a warm and fuzzy tale of a guy in an office just trying to use the restroom, and instead getting a full-on show of male semi-nudity with little regard for office environment. It is still a conversation topic for […]
My buddy Kelly lives down in Dupont Circle, and while it’s a great condo that he has lived in for the last seven or so years, the real special treat of the apartment is the front porch. You see, his building started taking care of this stray black cat. Sounds nice, except this stray cat […]
I’ll keep this short. I’m stunned into something many I know would not think possible from me: a lack of speech. I’m so overwhelmed with happiness and joy and celebration that I am at a loss for words. This country is ready and has now said it is ready for a new time. It is […]
OK, I have a little bit of a soft-spot for animated movies. Not all of them mind you (Toy Story, Monsters, Inc., Care Bears, and many others I cannot stand), but I’d be a lying fool if I said I didn’t have some that I truly enjoy watching. The Incredibles, for one, is just hilarious […]
I’ll get half-sappy for a moment. One of my big mentors (though he never really knew it) is my buddy Bill. He’s a bigshot photog on Capitol Hill. I knew a lot of the photographers at the newspapers I worked at, but Bill and I were cool with the same punk bands and making fun […]
Vote. Please, everyone, vote. My DC vote won’t mean a damn thing for Obama (he’s winning DC in a cakewalk), but I’m eagerly trying to get everyone to vote for DC Councilmembers who are against opening up Klingle Road. I like having open park spaces in my neigborhood. Screw those who want to shave 2 […]
I give up. This is the week all my enemies must have been hoping for. If you have been following my travails of the last six days, surely you have seen the humor and darkness that has surrounded me. If there could be something of a culmination, it happened last night at Halloween dinner with […]
