Can You Handle It?

I lost it today.  I didn't realize how pissed off I really was. And then, I lost it.

 

It started with dinner last night. The dinner part was great, but I had two glasses of wine. Lately, I've been feeling tired and foggy and grumpy; it’s time toRead full post »

Why Ask Why? Murder in our small town

“Asking why is the honored and ancient form of procrastination.”

 

When Pioneer Valley News Editor David Aquino asked me to write a piece on the recent tragic event at the Brattleboro Food Coop, a tired adage emerged.  ‘Where do I begin?’ I asked myself.  Se… Read full post »

Be Yourself

Robin Williams, as Aladdin’s genie, advised his young master to “Be Yourself.”  Okay, in that movie, it was obvious that Aladdin was not being himself; he was a pauper, disguised as a prince.   In real life, our disguises are often less

Me Write Pretty One Day

On March 30, at the Colonial Theater in Keene, NH, locals were honored to share an evening with David Sedaris.   

An NPR humorist and author of several NY Times bestsellers, including:  Naked, Holidays on Ice, Me Talk Pretty One Day, and the newly released Squirrel Seeks Chipmunk, Sed… Read full post »

Keep Writing

Okay, inspiration comes from everywhere and everything.  So, who am I to judge when, today I pick up the current issue of Good Housekeeping, as I am drawn to the cover image of Kelly Ripa (seriously) and begin skimming through the article on how she keeps her long-running… Read full post »

Tis the Season...

As the weather turns cold and leaves begin to fall, another round of Holidays begin.  And, with this arrives my annual ranting of the crazed spirit that befalls upon us.   It is the time of year I desperately crave to live in another culture—one where they are not inundated with/Read full post »

Can I share your blog?

A friend asked me this today.  "Can I share your blog with my sister?" 

 Yes, for the love of Christ!  Show my blog to the world!

I'm reconciling with god about this unfulfilled dream to be a published author that "somehow got left in my heart" (you know… Read full post »

Powerful Women... or just Pathetic?

 Received this message from a "friend" on Facebook:     

Alright ladies, here's a game, like the bra colour game, which was a total success and we had men wondering for days what was with the colours and it made it to the news. Well, this game has to do with yourRead full post »

Yom Kippur for the Crazybusy

Okay, granted-- I don't know much about "my" religion, but isn't this Facebook message a bit, er... generic?

Yom Kippur starts at sundown- If I've offended or harmed you in any way, by deed or inaction, deliberately or unknowingly over the past year(s),  I ask your full forgiveness, andRead full post »

My, my my, look at what my friends posted about their children on Facebook.  Their Precious Flowers are petting goats, making soccer goals, baking cakes, and hugging Grammy.  Why, isn’t that the cutest thing, ever? 

Jesus Christ.  Remember the last blog entry?  About n… Read full post »

nobody cares

In the fantastic movie, A Bronx Tale, gangster Sonny (Chazz Palminteri) was fond of saying, “Nobody cares.” 

Nobody cares what you do.  They may like to judge or gossip or blame, but honestly?  No one gives a shit. 

So, you have two choices:  y… Read full post »

Generation Non-Z

 

Sshh. 

Don’t awaken me.  There isn’t anything more important in my day than a good night’s sleep. 

Don’t boo and hiss.  Don’t stone me.  I said, sleep, not rape.

When did sleep get such a bad rap?  Here in America— the land… Read full post »

How often have you wanted to say that to the insensitive asshole who drones on and on about the most insignificant details of the most insignificant story?  Shut the fuck UP!

When did people begin to imagine that people give a flying fuck about what people think?  Did it happen when… Read full post »

I don't like you.

 

I don’t like you.

Seems like a simple enough sentence.  Each word possesses only one a syllable.  And, yet, this sentence is tougher to spit out than the sacred scapegoat, “I love you.” 

What is it about the human animal?  Dogs attack, ducks peck, cat… Read full post »

Go Fuck Yourself

Giving away a bed today.  You can’t even give something away FOR FREE without there being some goddamned drama from stupid strangers.  Some Dickhead and I have had an email chat for a few hours, about this bed.

I send this same email out to several people:

It's About Time

 

Time is the commodity more valued than gold or water in these hazy days.  Time is extinct.  We’ve shoved every goddamed obligatory task, function, and event into our schedules that we possibly can, into our Land of Opportunity.  Ask anyone— anyone—ANYO…
