Suicidal tendencies

Pets are offing themselves in astounding numbers. They are committing suicide and that is not a joke. To offset this rising tide of animalistic malaise vet’s are prescribing record amounts of mood enhancing drugs. There’s now a doggy door in the cupboard so Fido can get to Mother’s Little Helper.

Never go against the Family

I, like most guys love the Godfather movies, of course I am talking about Godfather I and II. These are classic almost flawless guy movies. The acting is spot on, the stories panoramic, the script well written and memorable. These are two great movies in every sense of the word. And [...]

junk food and soda pop and broken dreams

I have witnessed an interesting phenomenon that I wish to share with all of you, its something I have been observing for a while now. I call it ‘wishful shopping’. It starts with a shopper entering a Save-a-lot. They get a shopping cart and they wander the aisles picking out everything they [...]

A republican’s open letter to the politically curious and other adventure seekers

I am a republican. (I feel like this is an AA post, please say: ‘Hello, Bryan’ so I can move the post forward. Thank you.). And we will lose this next presidential election. We will lose and put an idealist with socialist values in the White House with a democratic congress. [...]

Take the late 60’s and all of the 70’s, condense, add large corporations and you get..

I have been doing some thinking on a particular subject for a while now (16 years or so). Ever since I looked at this sociological book in the early 90’s that suggested society moves through 4 phases, generationally speaking. Heroes, victims, I forget the exact terminology, but it is not quite relevant to [...]

Ahm-a-playa

There’s a new drug out called Amitiza. It is suppose to help with constipation. I was reading when the ad came on, and the pronunciation of the drug, done by a lady with no discernible accent and a very professional sounding voice still made me pause. It sounded like she was saying ‘I’m [...]

ho ho ho, white giant..

In Plant City I am a giant. I mean, I am huge. Every day the store would fill up with these tiny Mexicans with their tinnier (?) children and we employees would have to be extra careful because they get caught under-foot. If I’m moving a pallet of water (roughly 5 feet [...]

Boss, boss-man, pimp, its all the same to me

I now work in the urban area known as East Tampa, or Temple Terrace. Its a mix of hard-working lower income people and a few sketchy characters that help give the place a little flavor (flava, to be exact). It is also busy as hell. So the other day the registers ‘blew up’, [...]

The Obama Sandwhich (feel free to use this recipe)

Find two thick, plump pieces of bread. Liberally swab with butter and a hint of garlic. Brown the toast on a flat-top grill/surface until golden brown. Place the first piece of juicy, crisp toast un top of the other.

And enjoy.

Women are swooning at Obama rallies. Apparently this guy can [...]

A Young Republican is born.

Before I go to work I like to watch the news, something to have on in the background while getting ready. My son likes to watch Sponge Bob Square Pants. I have tried to get ready for work with this on in the background instead, but I ended up oddly jittery all day [...]
