A few weeks ago, I watched our neighbors’ place while they were out of town for the week. They have a cute little cat, whom I was in charge of feeding twice a day. Not really that difficult since I have a fur farm of my own, so when they returned they were happy that […]
MoreMy Wednesday evenings are typically set aside for yoga and wine. I have tried it this combination in reverse a time or two and I can honestly say that Vino and Vinyasa is not a good combination – Lululemon really should be sued for false advertising…..and not just for their see-through yoga pants either….do people […]
MoreIn April, S and I went to visit his parents in Arizona. I had never met them and we had a lovely time. During our vacation, our friends graciously watched Ginnie the week we were gone. Ginnie is now about 17-years-old and is the most patient, tolerant, happy, well-behaved dog I have ever known. People […]
MoreYes, this is where I live….thank the lord it’s not where I am from. Education has been cut back so badly, that kids only go to school for half a day – this video is a testament to that. And sadly, in the news this week, they are shutting down 6 more libraries in Duval […]
MoreSo, as I am driving to the gym today, I see this dude in a bubblegum pink t-shirt standing right outside the jail (no lie, but didn’t get a pic either, damn it!). Let me back up a minute….I live downtown, about a mile away from the Springfield ‘hood. Right. By. The. Jail. In the morning, […]
MoreRecently, I decided after readying this lovely little article that “I vow to no longer use my phone when interacting with friends and family.“ I am pretty sure I have said this before, but if not, I will say it again – the Universe has a sick and twisted sense of humor……which also makes me love […]
MoreAs spotted by Norbert today, a dude riding his bicycle complete with a full bar on the back. Only in the Mile High City, voted one of the drunkest cities in America, would you see s**t like this….
MoreIt has been awhile since I posted some of the fine automobiles you will see in my ‘hood, so here are a few to entertain you on this gorgeous first day of May, which I hear isn’t so gorgeous out west. While you are all getting snow, we are reveling in the 80-degree weather. My […]
More“The more you struggle to live, the less you live. Give up the notion that you must be sure that you know what you are doing. Instead, surrender to what is real within you, for that alone is sure.” – Baruch Spinoza To be honest, I have struggled quite a bit lately with the city I […]
MoreHave I ever mentioned that Springfield is full of Hos? I am pretty sure that I have once or twice, but in case I haven’t yet….Springfield is full of Hos! Given the high concentration of crack houses in the ‘hood, one should naturally expect there to be crack whores. A crack addict has a bad […]
MoreBar-B-Que reigns king of all food choices in the south. It is difficult for any of the vendors to truly stand apart from one another. Danny put his creativity to work to come up with this slogan for his BBQ Food Truck….well played, Danny, well played indeed….
MoreUntil recently, I hadn’t ever heard much from the people who would frequent the apartment on the side of the house next door. I have come to learn, however, that they are not much better than the dudes living in the unit in the back. Thursday night, they made the mistake of screwing the wrong crackhead out of […]
MoreThis past weekend, J-ville played host to the epic battle between University of Florida Gators and the University of Georgia Bulldogs. This rivalry dates back some 90+ years and is one of the few rivalry games that still get hosted at a neutral site. In fact, J-ville has been the home of this game since 1933. People start arriving in town […]
MoreAnd you ain’t got no job…and you ain’t got shit to do! Oh wait……I recently landed a REAL job! That’s right, a J-O-B. Job! Now, this job allows me to work from home, make my own hours and be own boss, which is pretty much what I have been doing for the past year and pretty much […]
MoreNow that I seem to be getting the hang of this whole working thing again and having to balance my schedule with play, I have been able to be more diligent about writing these past few weeks. The book that I thought would take a year to write is going to take more like three. I spent the […]
