So, let me get this straight…

July 24, 2009

We, the USA, are in such an economic turmoil that we can’t manage to keep cops on the street…but we can fork over $200M in aid to a non-country???

Are you f@#$ing kidding me!?! How much more are we expected to endure before the masses take to the streets with pitchforks and torches? I sense that before it’s over, lynching of public officials will be more commonplace than tragedy. The backs of the American People are breaking, the patience of the American Spirit is dwindling, and the hope of the American Dream is gone.

Seriously, folks. We need a real shift in dynamics here. We need a wake-up call. Unfortunately, that wake-up call/reality check will probably cost many, many American lives. History never fails to repeat itself in the good ol’ U. S. of A.

God Willing…. July 20, 2011

There is a story in my head. It’s a story about love, hate, life, death, the paranormal, and most importantly, the very real and awesome power of Jesus Christ. The best part? It’s all totally true.

Memorial Day Weekend, 2010 May 28, 2010

I am soooo ready to consume massive amounts of fine adult beverages, kick off the summer in style…oh, and to take a moment to honor and remember the blood spilled, and the sacrifices made for the freedoms we used to have.

…Always a Minute Late February 7, 2010

While my 11-year-old daughter was tying the scarf that was knotted around her neck to a branch overhead in Peoria, Illinois, I was partying my ass off in Atlanta, Georgia. That Saturday night, the 7th of June, 2008, I ate the best goddamned mushroom-and-swiss burger in the world at the Hard Rock Café while [...]

The Box November 8, 2009

The funeral would be starting soon, and I would have to show up empty-handed – and empty-hearted. I swore to myself, I swore aloud. I cursed God yet one more time, “It’s not fucking fair! She’s just a baby!” I stormed through the mall, daring any of the unsuspecting shoppers to bump me, or smile at me, or even look in my direction – I was ready to channel my […]

…But Is It Art? October 24, 2009

Rap music has almost always offended my sensibilities as a human being and a musician. On the surface, it requires little-to-no-skill or talent, glorifies the worst of urban and American life, and, truthfully – just gets on my goddamned nerves. And hey – is it even music? Have I been not been just in [...]

Enough Already!? July 2, 2009

OK, I get it. Michael Jackson’s still dead, his kids aren’t his, he died broke, and on and on and on. How much more coverage can this get?? I wanna know about North Korea, and Iran, and our socialist president. I wanna know if Sanford is going to have an Argentinian love-child. I get it, [...]
