Statute of Dopeness

Truth be told, I can’t even recall how long it’s been since I’ve last felt the literary gumption to note down anything of inconsequential substance. In all honesty, things done changed quite a bit in my life since I’ve last posted. Unbelievable as it may sound, someone outside of their sane mind actually decided to

Fabricated Wins from the Cloth of Despair

Dallas Mavericks v Miami Heat - Game Two

As spare time becomes sparse and complacency teeters on the edge of becoming commonplace, very infrequently do I find myself inspired to blog.  Truth be told, the indiscriminate culprit is probably more a haphazard concoction of apathy and ambivalence than anything else. Like I said, recently, I’ve needed great inspiration to fuel any ambition of

Flowers Out the Wazoo, Drapes Up the Hoo Hah

What better motivation to blog than when stuck sitting idly by as an Indian wedding proceeds.  Believe you me, an Indian wedding is a spectacle to behold – for those that haven’t ever witnessed it.  After you’ve attended a few, the traditional proceedings can appear borderline cumbersome.  So, when the goblin of monotony annoyingly tickles

Canas, Tapas, and Bendy Straws

This is a draft I wrote after coming back from my most recent trip to Spain in October of 2009.  It’s been sitting around in my drafts folder for an embarrassing minute.  I guess I just never got around to publishing it…until now. Was I really chowing down a falafel from Maoz in Madrid just

Undeterred by an Impotence of Intelligence and Significant Lack of Foresight

Falcons vs Packers 2011 Divisional Playoffs

I’m going to do something I’ve only attempted a few times on this blog:  predict the outcome of a sports event.  The last time I did this, I tried to predict the top 10 picks of the 2006 NFL Draft.  How brilliant were my predictions?  Ummm….what had happened was…I mean…ya never know…umm…flip happens…ya know?  My

It’s Like Mother Nature Trotted Out Mariano Rivera in the 9th

Atlanta Snowstorm January 2011

The snowstorm that has hit the city ironically referred to as Hotlanta has rendered me crib-ridden for the past 3 days.  This is crazy stuff.  The city of Atlanta at the mercy of…snow?  This, folks, rarely happens here.  More often than not, on the rare occasion that it has snowed down here, it has normally melted away

I’m on That Madeleine Peyroux Ish

Panera, as previously written, has become my preeminent hotspot of incremental progress.  As I wrote before, home is where complacency festers more fervently than the stench of inedible fruit in the fridge.  So, I get out of the home to draw some sort of inspiration or at least to feel some sort of satisfaction that I haven’t

The Phone that Drove me to the Brink of Infidelity

I’ve learned that I’m infinitely more productive outside the confines of my cozy crib.  Maybe this explains why everybody and their 3rd cousin’s coffeeshop is jam packed with degenerate java geeks all the time.  A word to the wise, steer away from any and all Starbucks.  I remember driving around one day a few weeks

Do NOT Friggin’ Dare Dismiss The Peppered Cashews

Absent of reason nor cognizant of rhyme, I blog again.  Purpose?   Do I ever really have one?  My thoughts are an independent contractor freelancin’ for mere flips and wiggles. Ademas…months…nearly years ago…I pined for the alleged luster and shine of the unemployed life.  I often wondered then if indeed the grass was truly “greener

An F5 Refresh of my Mental Browser

F5 Refresh

Amid scarce fanfare and scant publicity, I’d like to formally announce my temporary resignation from engineering. “Temporary”, say you? Well…I suppose so. Could it be permanent? Perhaps. Likely? A shrug of the shoulders “I dunna know”. In a few months, I very well could find myself on the figurative corner begging for enough change to
