Jukebox Baby

I love music.  My introduction was in the 70s as I was growing up and it developed into a broad selection.  The only songs that I remember from my childhood encapsulate the time: “December, 1963 (Oh, What A Night)” by The Four Seasons and “The Theme from Mahogany: Do You Know Where You’re Going To?” [...]

As The World Turns

Life can be a soap opera.  Believe me, I know. 
While in my bathroom, I managed to overhear a VERY loud conversation where a man in his scruffy “I’ve-had-way-too-much-to-drink-therefore-I-can’t-lower-the-decibal-level-of-my-own-voice” is busy telling the whole world his, or rather, his sister’s life story.  Now, I know that her name is Meg and that she can’t stop drinking [...]

Image of Me:

I am way offended.  It seems that people have an image of me that doesn’t seem fair and I have to get it off my chest because if I don’t I’ll feel like a tool even though I’m so not and some may still think that I am because of this image they’ve created in [...]

Feed Me Cheese, Not Bologna!

Big girls like myself who love our weight have to stop lying to ourselves.  It isn’t like we can’t lose weight the good ol’ fashioned way.  We can.  But somehow, we sit around the house long enough, we get to thinking that maybe there’s some sort of shortcut, some easier way, some bargaining tool that [...]

Having trouble reading?  Well, you should head on over here, then:

It’s Raining, It’s Pouring

While the world is stuck at home feeling yucky or down because of this noreaster passing through, I am happier than a clam.  I love rain.  I prefer to be indoors while it pours to be able to focus and listen to the drops fall.  I’ve been called, “morbid” and ”strange” for loving that downpour that [...]

This Is Your F***in’ Captain Speaking:

In another installment of Truth Is Stranger Than Fiction: the pilot shouting obscenities.  You just can’t make this stuff up.
How do you not know that you’re being heard through the in-flight loudspeaker?
Good Afternoon, Passengers this is your captain, Stubing.  Today the weather’s..holy S**t!  Did you know that this isn’t working?  Forgive me but there seems [...]

Funny Things That People Actually Say

I have a bad habit of eavesdropping.  Most writers do.  We are so good at listening that we often forget to actively participate in our own lives, even.  But I seriously cannot believe some of the intensely personal conversations that go on.  Do these people even realize that at any given moment they could be [...]

Because…

…anytime is a good time for pie.
…Zed’s dead, baby.  Zed’s dead.
…You’ll always be mine.  Always and never.
…that was fuckin’ trippy.
…that’s pride fuckin’ with you.
…The gimp’s asleep.
…I don’t tip.  I don’t believe in it.
…I’m trying real hard to be the shepherd.
A: What is all the reasons I’ll watch the new QT / RR collaboration: Grindhouse. 
Anyone who [...]

A Post (For Women ONLY):

I’m irregular.  Not just in general, but in a feminine hygiene kinda way. (If you’re still male and reading this: I warned ya).  For most women, this unwelcome visitor, Aunt Flo is often the worst part every month.  Well, in my case, Flo doesn’t give you any hint to her coming but will arrive late and [...]
