Red Stripe! Jamaican for DUI.

The other day I am driving home as usual. I stop at a light on 60 in Brandon. The traffic is heavy and the 8 lanes of road are filled up. While waiting at the light I look over at a tan Crown Vic. diagonally in-front of me on the driver’s side. [...]

The Overwhelming heaviness of being

For a long time now I have been feeling less than happy with the over-all quality and value of my life. It is not the various elements in my life that I have a major issue with (though there are some problems, of course), but rather the way I feel about those various [...]

This time it was not a train

The other day I was driving home from work, taking back roads to get to I-4. At the time it was raining in Lakeland and the storm clouds were dark and angry. As I drove towards I-4 I came to the realization that I was driving into the heart of what had already [...]

A glimpse of hate? Class warfare in Sefner

I was at the mall today waiting to get my hair cut. Next to me was a young couple, teenagers, maybe 17-ish who were also waiting. Besides acknowledging the existence I didn’t take much notice. The girl was sitting closest to me. In walks a mother and daughter. Mom looks [...]

I want my 50 Cent’s worth

50 Cent and Kanye West both have CD’s due out on Sept. 11th. Word on the street (that’s Wall Street, to you would-be-bangers) is that Kanye’s album will rival if not exceed 50’s in sales. Now, this has 50 in an uproar. In his mind it is inconceivable that he might get [...]

Mother Nature added to terrorist watch list after striking a crippling blow to America’s greatest city

New York City was shut down this morning. Airports closed, subways stopped, various environmental systems were overwhelmed, and the trains never left the station. The entire city skidded and.. stopped. Most commuters had an additional 4 hours tacked on to their commute.

What was the cause of this chaos? What horrendous act [...]
