My Dad Always Said...

"If ya can't say anything nice about anyone, then don't say anything at all." Okay.

Is It Mourning Yet?!

Holy sweet Jesus! I can't believe this shit! First Japan and more recently Libya. Events throughout the globe are getting out of hand. I can't believe all of the turmoil and suffering and injustices that we must endure...

But now I've seen enough. I've been mourning for about a week now and with damned good reason. Mugshots burned! Christ almighty. I've had it! Fucking Mugshots has burned! Say it ain't so Joe!

There's No Place Like Home... Sometimes

Libya, vacation spot of the ages.

Well it looks as though my two top choices for vacation spots this spring have both gone to hell in a hand basket. Fukushima Dai-ichi, Japan and Tripoli, Libya are now off of my tourist destinations.

Sheesh! Ever feel like some days you just can't win for losing? It's like somebody is nuking your front yard and you have nowhere to run...

Shut The Hell Up Before You Say Anything!

'Tis a beautiful day in the neighborhood [whistles]. It's my neighborhood anyway so I can make it whatever the hell kind of day I want it to be. Now, on to the things that really matter to me the most...

What was I saying? Oh yeah, things that really matter to me the most. There's not too much to talk about really. Ever had one of those days where it seems that nothing really matters? I suppose that can be a little depression as well as a lot of frustration that causes that – I don't know.

A Penchant For Prawn...

Somebody once asked me if I had a penchant for seafood. Of course my answer was, "What is a penchant?" When I realized they were asking if I liked fresh seafood my response was that I loved fresh seafood. Who doesn't except for those allergic to the iodine – like my dad was?

The lady who asked me that question was selling fresh shrimp from the back of her truck. Yep, that's the way it is often done here. Pick up truck beds often sub for the produce or meat section in grocery stores. Once you get the dogs out it is a great platform for selling shrimp.

Give Me A Break!

Today marks the beginning of Spring Break for our area the universities here. Huh?! It's forty five degrees outside! What the hell kind of Spring Break is that? Oh well, there's sure to be a lot of hard nipples at the beaches today. Seriously, it's not even "Fat Tuesday" yet.

Personally, I'm seeing sacrilege here. Spring break while the temperatures are in the forties and I'm still waiting for Mardi Gras. There's just something completely wrong with that picture. I'm seeing more than bare breast on Bourbon Street. I'm seeing beach balls too.

Monkey Grass and Mexicans

Well, Cinco de Mayo (May 5th for English speaking Americans) is right around the corner. Just think of it. In nine weeks Margaritas will be two for one the entire day and burros and burritos will be one and the same. If, that is, you've had too many two for one Margaritas.

Seriously, this is to give an early thanks to all of my Mexican friends for their never ending support and service to America – my their great country. Their contributions in landscaping, concrete finishing, house painting and car washing have certainly not gone unnoticed. My car bumpers shine like never before...
