Real Gods Require Blood
I have thus far posted half of my novel “Real Gods Require Blood.” I would like to thank all of you who have taken time to read it and leave comments and /or participate in the poll. I really appreciate it. However, the remaining 7 chapters (starting with Chapter 8), if you are interested, will be [...]
Chapter 7: Kwameism
I schlepped back to my desk with Kim’s words weighing heavily on me. She’d illustrated my reason for avoiding romantic entanglements: My fucked up heart was still ailing. For a moment I missed her. I missed her sorely like she’d gone somewhere far away. This longing passed through me like a fleeting emotion. All that [...]
What was the NY Post thinking?
Maybe this cartoon simply means that Obama’s stimulus package was written by imbeciles or buffoons that need to be put out of their misery. And there was an incident earlier this week where NY’s finest shot a pet chimpanzee. But…geez Loco
Unrequited Love
Sometimes when I read some of the responses to some of my blog entries (god, don’t you just love the word “some”) I get the distinct impression that my readers (some) think that I am suffering from an unrequited love affair with Japan.

Chapter 6: This is Kevin
I hadn’t been that excited about meeting a woman since, well, ever. I sat at my desk struggling to focus on the task at hand. I was preparing a press release for an upcoming event. But, my brain wouldn’t cooperate. I’d typed Zola’s name no less than five times at various points in the press [...]
Chapter 5: The Scab
Kim had come over Monday night, without invitation, bearing gifts. I was tired and cranky when I’d come in from work so I immediately turned off the ringer on the phone and assumed my customary Monday night position on the couch, surrounded by the accumulating mess of a week’s laziness. Hank Williams Jr. was [...]
Closing in on 25000 served (-:
Well, I’m not sure if 25,000 is saying much on a WWW with millions upon millions of users, but I sure feel something, so I just wanted to mark the occasion with a little shout out to all my readers and commenters who have taken time out of their busy lives (assuming you have a busy [...]
