OK, I have to admit…I don’t get it. I was driving down the highway last night at around 7, and the AT&T store had a line out the store and down the street, obviously people waiting to get an iPhone. We’ve all seen the news reports about people sleeping in tents on the sidewalk overnight [...]

Universal Health Care
Posted in Commentary, Health, Politics on 30 June 2007 | 3 Comments »
I’m scared for my country folks, which means, of course, that I’m going to rant for a bit. Sit back and enjoy the show, then feel free to rant back. What worries me is that there is growing support in this country for nationalized universal health care. There are sick people who can’t afford medicine, [...]
I’m not Creative
Posted in Me, Otherworld, Writing on 25 June 2007 | 2 Comments »
Just came to a realization today. As much as I like to hol dmyself out as a creative guy, especially as a writer. Then I looked at Otherworld. I have three stories right now that can easily be qualified as “Surprise Meeting on the Boat.” Shameful. Ray and Raskin. Diego and Crimson. Cut and Sable.
I [...]
I’ve Been Tagged
Posted in Me, Miscellaneous on 24 June 2007 | 2 Comments »
Miss Harley Quinn tagged me! This should be fun to do, just for my own education. I don’t know that I can tag anyone else, since i don’t have that many blogs in my blog roll to begin with. If you’re reading this and blog on another site (Jen, Amber, Taylor, etc…), consider yourself tagged. The rules [...]
Ruminations on Geography
Posted in Commentary, Dallas, Geography, High School on 24 June 2007 | 1 Comment »
Thoughts while reading a blog on the top 5 sports figures from 20 different cities:
Why do people from the mny suburbs around Dallas say they’re from Dallas? It bugs the Hell out of me, mostly because when I tell people I grew up in Dallas, I then invariably have to answer the question “Where in [...]
Startin’ Somethin’
Posted in Otherworld, Writing on 21 June 2007 | 1 Comment »
No, this is not going to be another political rant. Although I’m sure you can look forward to one of those soon; it’s been too long since I made y’all mad at me. This is just a quick note to say that I’ve got a new post up on Otherworld – the first meeting between [...]
Ray and Raskin Get to Work
Posted in Otherworld, Writing on 19 June 2007 | Leave a Comment »
OK, I’d promised that Ray would soon be hiring Raskin to begin the formation of his all human monster-hunting team. Both got their first post in the plan today.
Ray’s was actually written and intended to be posted a month ago. It’s his arrival to Moon Bay and purchasing of tickets to the upcoming Booze Cruise. [...]
New Blogroll Additions
Posted in Blogroll on 19 June 2007 | 2 Comments »
You may notice that there are some new entries in my blogroll. First and foremost, The Zombie Almanac is a blog by my good friend (and screen-writing partner) Jen. It is an excellent blog, centering largely on pop culture. Her reviews of movies, albums and television shows blow mine away. Before I go see anything, [...]
Otherworld Update

OK, my original goal had been to update you on Otherworld stories as they happen. Failure. So I’m going to try and catch you all up. Here are my characters and what they’re up to right now (those who are up to something anyway).
Patrick ust unknowingly killed a North Cabal swattie and is currently hiding [...]
Something to watch…

USA Today is putting together a list of the Top 25 NFL Players of the past 25 years. I’ll reserve most of my judgement for when they finish. But I already know I think Aikman, Singletary, and Dickerson are going to be too low, Dickerson in particular. I can only think of three backs since [...]
