St. Augustine, Florida is "the oldest, continuously occupied settlement of European origin in North America." When I used my trusty Microsoft Bookshelf to verify I'd spelled St. Augustine correctly in my last article, it spit out this tidbit -- Human Rights and Social Justice, 1581 Spain's Philip II sends some of his black slaves to his Florida colony of St. Augustine. They are the first blacks to be landed in North America. Well, there's one that's not in the tourist pam...
My bathroom doesn't have a lock. So when I'm in there, I place a jug of bleach against the door, lest the cat come nudging in for a look around. Today, as I reached down to move the bleach bottle, a slight scent entered my nostrils that instantly reminded me of Florida. Suddenly the warmth of the day and the sun streaming in took on new life. My bathroom melted away and became St. Augustine! Orlando! Tampa! I looked around for what that smell could have been. What's in my bathroom that ...
It's easy to see why some people object to having no control over whom they're forced to share space with on the sidebar. Sometimes those bunched up titles can bring up some interesting juxtapositions or even blend together in unintended but amusing ways. For instance, my last article ("You Talkin' to ME?") got sandwiched between a limp dick and a dirtbag. Then there was this little gem. (I'll leave it to you to decide whether or not the two "bads" are supposed to equal each ot...

A bit of blog errata... My watchlist is buggy. I'm not getting email notifications when people leave comments on my blogs. Certain other threads aren't triggering notifications, either. So, I may or may not have seen your comments. Like I wasn't bad enough at keeping up with them already, right? I was working on that, but this has complicated matters. Great timing, huh? So, if someone leaves a new comment on an article off the main page I probably won't know it. And now they've degra...
So, I'm surfing around, and I happen upon this site that wants me to give them my email address (to start selling so I can get plenty good SPAM, sailor) in exchange for proof that ghosts exists. "We have proof they exist!" the site screams. I was screaming too -- with laughter. This is the banner they used to try and lure me into watching this terrifying evidence. Um, guys, that is neither scary nor convincing me of anything other than you have a really bad eye for horro...

Everyone has something they fall back on when they don't know what to do or say. For the talentless and the newbie, that is often to just do what everyone else is doing. There was a time when a celebrity (particularly musicians) could not be interviewed without being asked, "Who are your influences?" You couldn't watch an interview without hearing, "Who are your influences?" Celebrities even began coughing up the information unbidden. "Well, as you know my influences are...." "That comes f...
Over on an article by JesseJ, I dared say the Macintosh was better at something than Windows was. It's a good thing I remembered to slip on my asbestos long-johns this morning. Get this highly literate response from one of the WinHeads: "Your entire post #35, has got to be the most ignorant and complete bunch of idiotic drivel that I have read in a long long time. I could make quite the page about it but why waste the space. I wasn't even going to waste the time of day by posting in ...
From the time I was a child, up until my early 20's, I watched the Oscars every year. During that time I saw an injustice rise, an injustice that is getting too outrageous to continue. What are the Oscars about? They are about peers recognizing each other for their artistic achievements. That is the core of the Oscars' purpose. The greed merchants who currently oversee the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences have corrupted and co-opted that purpose. When I was a child, everyon...
"Among all forms of mistake, prophecy is the most gratuitous." -- George Eliot As Pope John Paul II is again rushed to the hospital and required to undergo surgery, I can't help but pause and consider the many predictions (many from before anyone heard of him) that predict he will be "the last good pope." Many in the Evangelical Community even consider Pope John Paul II's passing as a sign of the rise of Antichrist and his "false prophet." Usually this evangelical panic turns ou...
We're getting our first look at the new Superman, relative unknown Brandon Routh . Whilethese pics off his website aren't official (the Clark Kent one is a Halloween costume!) they dogive us some idea of what the new Man of Steel might look like. The tentatively titled SupermanReturns is set to begin filming in early March, for a Summer2006 release.
Last year I wrote an article about Lentenfood choices at Taco Bell. It received quiet a few search enginereferrals from people looking for Lent information. I answered someof them here ,including: "When does Lent start?" -- Wait for Mardi Gras (it's all over the news). Let the deprivation begin. Personally I like to give up celibacy for Lent. It rids me of that false piety and pride I have over being such a good boy and puts my focus back where it belongs: what a lascivious litt...
