Genius Runs in the Family

What did I tell you about good genes? 
Update: genius ALSO runs in the family. Internetz readers, meet Trey, a fabulous artiste and mom to Parker and Madison. Her art reminds me of a highly stylized illustration, from one of my favorite authors, Roald Dahl. Go check it out.

When I was 6 years old, the clouds parted and the heavens opened up and I had found my dream. The dream. The defining goal that would shape the rest of my life. 
I wanted to be a garbage man. 
At the time we were living in Saudi Arabia, in a military installation, and I had stumbled [...]

I tried to come up with something a little bit more eloquent for a post title but my eloquence jacket is still at the dry cleaners. Plus I was just overcome by sheer repulsion that I was almost physically ill from seeing the website of the people that want to “protect marriage”. In the interests [...]

For Later

I thought my blog inspiration muse would take a full blown shit on my head again, but it was a false alarm. Just a fart.
But it’s got something to do with this:
Note to self: blog about this later

“Be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves. Do not now seek the answers, which cannot be given you because you would not be able to live them. And the point is to live everything. Live the questions” – Rainer Maria Rilke

When I first read Letters [...]

A Wee Bit of Evil

When people go through my online albums and they see this
 
They always respond with, “are you adopted???”.
I get that a lot. That or, “how much did you pay that old lady to pretend to be your relative?”.
It’s called an interracial family, folks. I’m a mutt. And I like it.
Thankfully, we have kick-ass genes, as clearly [...]

John Galt – Redux

“I swear that I will never live for the sake of another man, nor ask another to live for mine…”
- The Philosophy of John Galt
I’ve been sitting here staring at my screen for the past half hour trying to form a half-decent preamble to a diatribe written by my otherworldly eloquent friend Cleopatra.
FAIL.
As is the [...]

Maelstrom

The past few days have been not unlike Shakespeare’s “The Tempest”. Some of it bad, some of it good, but ALL funny (at least in my warped mind).
I promise I’ll be blogging about these soon:

No To Hate

Today I am shamelessly plagiarizing (with permission) from an AWESOME blogger over at Whiskey in my Sippy Cup.

I mean, seriously awesome. With a title like “Whiskey in my Sippy Cup“, how can it not be awesome? The title alone is enough to send my tics into overdrive: feel the eees blend into the consonants and [...]

Open Letter to Grocery Idiots

Dear Motherfuckers,
When the fucking checkout line says “Express Lane, 12 Items Or Less Only”, for the love of allthatisgoodandholyintheworld don’t line up with a basketful of items and then stand there counting out exact change when the rest of the fucking line is ready to string you up by your eyeballs. 
If you had the mental [...]

While driving, after about 3 songs, 15 minutes of silence, and the Teddy Bear scanning his car magazine and the road like an avid birdwatcher…
The Demigod: We should get a rabbit
The Teddybear: Why a rabbit?
The Demigod: Because the apartment’s too small for a dog and you don’t like kitties. Besides, I want to cuddle something [...]

I try not to blog about work as much as I can. But today I feel the need to dip into that veritable cornucopia of misery and despair if only because I know that that cornucopia is also a source of mirth and i’m-gonna-piss-my-pants laughter.
Let’s start off with me logging into an online job-search tool [...]

Kristen Wiig on SNL

Gotta save this link for later.
She’s the most awesomest performer on SNL these days. Sorry, Amy.

Preamble: Yes, I’m aware that yesterday was blog action day, and I’m still working on that post, and it’s in my draft folder, and it will be glorious. Just lemme do this first.
One of my totally cool and awesome facebook friends is an editor for a local magazine and wanted to do a profile of a [...]

Now that the Teddy Bear and I are working different schedules and days off, I am spending more and more time alone. 
Well, alone or with VAMp. 
But the alone time is probably what explains the post directly below this one. 
As Carrie Bradshaw once said: 

“How do you sustain a relationship without the Za Za Zoo? That butterflies-in-your-stomach [...]
