As we were driving home from a double baby shower the other night, my mom reminded me that I am NOT to drink the water down here. I kept trying to explain to her how babies are made, but she just doesn’t quite get it. Given this, it’s amazing that I don’t have a litter of siblings. […]
MorePeople often ask me what there is to do for entertainment in Jacksonville. For the most part, I would say there is a whole lot of nothing….. Jacksonville is a sleepy town that just recently came to the realization may no longer be living in the era of segregation and inequality, yet they seem to be having a hard […]
MoreAnDre and I went to save a bike from certain demise – a cruiser to be exact! We had seen it decomposing the night before while celebrating my birthday at a restaurant on the beach (and for those of you who know when that is – yes, it has taken me THAT long to write this post…..). I […]
MoreMy mom has been telling me or months now about a guy who has the most artistic shopping cart in all of Springfield, yet I never see him. Then, finally, I was on my way to work the other day when I saw him! And I didn’t have my camera – bullocks! Since I knew my mom was […]
MoreHi All! As you have probably noticed by my silence, things have been quiet in the ‘hood since I have returned home. I hope you are enjoying your holidays and savoring the last few days of 2011 – since the world is ending in less than six months. Ginnie had a very Merry Christmas! She […]
MoreI have been working for the man across the street for several days now. It has become increasingly apparent that His and Her Jackassholiness are completely indecisive and nothing seems to ever run on schedule with this project. Thus, I have decided to continue to drive alone in the mornings. I generally take my sweet ass time and don’t leave the […]
MoreI have started working recently for my mom’s neighbor part-time. As a contractor, he does quite a bit of home improvement work here in the area. Since I also know he is reading this, I will keep it nicey nice. The short of it……his work style is much different from mine…..it is a disaster! You […]
MoreIt is amazing to me how fast time flies when you are wallowing in your own shit. I am working on a post today about a recent trip to Denver – recent, as in SIX weeks ago. I guess I got a little side tracked hunting down Pimp-Mobiles my bad…… I wanted to give a […]
MorePeople drive as slow as molasses in Florida. I know what you are going to say……that’s because they’re all old people. Not so in Jacksonville. According to City Data, the median age, 33.8 years, here is much younger, whereas the rest of Florida is 38.7. It is just summer in the South, and it is Holy […]
MoreAs I was leaving DC recently, I was struck with great appreciation for meeting such an eclectic mix of people and was grateful to have many thoughtful, intelligent conversations with each of them. DC folks love their conversations, as well as their debates. After partaking in so many wonderful discussions over the past week or […]
MoreRecently, I had the pleasure of staying with a dear friend in DC for 10 days. I had not been to DC since I was 11 – for a 6th grade field trip. We toured all of the proper historical sites that a 6th grader should when they are learning about the establishment of our […]
MoreThe guy who bought my old place reported to one of my old neighbors in the building, he is still receiving mail for me. I know it is normal when you move that your crap-tas-tic catalogs will still be mailed to the old address for eternity – I remember receiving mail periodically for a person […]
MoreSaturday morning the door bell rang – at 7:30am. I was still in bed, amazingly enough – since I have got into a nasty habit of awaking around 5:30am these days. Immediately, I thought – “Wow, the Jehovah’s Witnesses are getting their start earlier and earlier these days.” My mom answered the door, I heard […]
MoreUpon my return from this last trip to Costa Rica, my brother came down to JAX for a visit. Since he was taking some time off from his demanding job in fabulously trendy San Diego, we tried to keep his vacation as redneck as possible. This included such planned activities as drinking copious amounts of […]
MoreAs I had mentioned in a previous post, I was going to explain a bit more about the “cat factory” house. One of the houses across the street is notorious for breeding feral cats. They neglect to get any of their cats spayed or neutered, nor do they feed the litter upon litter that are […]
