Hearing something when nothing is said is a wondrous talent. This is an important skill I am striving to develop. On the other hand, perceiving something different from that which is intended is fairly easy & normal. Lots of folks do it and most everyone lends an ear to this inclination sooner or later. Never-the-less, [...]

Barry Williams May 6, 2011. (good side) Two nights I rolled around sleeplessly on account of my room mate. Dude killed two people (on purpose) and over the course of 36 hours revealed his philosophy of life to me. Cheesus fuckin criminy – was all that kept zooming through my mind. I’m just a friggin [...]

AAaaaaaahhhhhhhhhHHHH!! Cheezus criminy! Let me out of here! Away from these crazy cultural whackos who the gov’t has turned into yard maintenance people. That’s all these grass shorteners do and they’re getting pretty dang good at it. Too good, as a matter of fact. Waay too good. Thank you, friend. Barry out. And every useless [...]

Talk to anyone who has “lost it“. If your conversation is not taking place in a prison visiting room you will likely hear the guilty party exclaim that they actually feel much better for having purposely jumped into their deep end.

A Billion Spuds Makes a Big, STUPID Pile You and I are infected with something nasty. The dis-ease plaguing us is necessarily attached to our Dude Not Aware by evolution and like the ripe handcuffed carcass of a close friend, we drag it along while trying hard to stay just one tiny step ahead of [...]

Every day, life is being removed from the presence of folks. Sure, the old standbys (aging, constant war, internal strife fueled by overcrowding /cultural hatred/voluntary slavery) continue to be employed but in these “modern” times we accept demise in many more palatable manners. And sadly, if it can be carried out sans loud clanking and [...]

Statutory holidays allowing citizens to be paid for NOT working while spending a designated day with their families are VERY scary for two main reasons: Who was directing Voter Joe’s attention in such a wacky manner that a Family Day becomes necessary? Will they influence Joe Average’s focus toward or away from his family tomorrow? [...]

The Jean God Looks Angry In the beginning there were NO JEANS. Then humankind came along and a couple of pegs after robes filled an obviously huge fashion category called blue jeans. Soon the world was filled with $7 denim garments but evolution wasn’t close to being done with jeans and in short order demanded [...]
