Tiger by (well, after) some tail
Ramblings Post #71There is an old country song that fits perfectly with this post. Written by the now wholly artificial Kenny Rogers, the opening strains of "The Gambler" used to be known to a generation. And today, facing a media onslaught and quite...
Trippy
Ramblings Post #69 Sometimes bad things happen to bad people. But more often than not, good stuff happens to bad people, and then keeps happening and then continues on as long as you can stand to watch it. This is how some people get rich, despite ce...
Knowing is aging
Ramblings Post #66This year I had a birthday I've always envisioned as something so far off it was always ages and ages away. And now that I am that age I used to laugh at, karma has come in from doing the yard and started pointing out all those lit...
So they loaded up the Truck, and moved...
Ramblings Post #65A shrewd investor I read back in the day, when I read investment advice like some men read a sports page, advised that during a calamity, one needs to look for bargains. And if the current state of Wall Street isn't a calamity, I'm ...
Democratic Stalemates and Chicago Presidents..
This is a political post. Well, part political post, part political fantasy. Man I'm getting old, I used to dream I played football. A little while ago, holding a bulletproof majority in the Senate and a drunken reprobate margin in the House, the Dem...
Old Age
Ramblings Post #59 We get little signs as we get older. A twinge where there used to not be a twinge. Somebody calls you sir or ma'am, for no reason. The first gray hair, I got that one at 25 for the record. Suddenly, ten shots of tequila has the re...
I so love British Television
Ramblings Post #52It has been a long strange trip. I mean from my house to my house and back, this break from law school has been a something I relished and dreaded at the same time. I'm back for another season of "Old Law" , the rolling internet alm...
The Office Moguls Strike Back!
Ramblings Post #44Less than 48 hours ago I thought the madness was over. Oh how wrong I was. To fully articulate the foolishness, I've had to give the Moguls, that lovable trio of office rogues, delineations and designations to keep the comedy clear....
The Office Moguls Change their plans
Ramblings Post #43For those that work, and everyday there seem to be less and less of those, there is usually that person in the office that you can't really figure out why they are still...or ever got to be...employed there. They don't seem to do a ...
Updates from the Crisis...
Ramblings Post #41when you were a kid, the idea of growing up almost seemed a something that would never happen, and teenager, everything you wanted to do was just a bit of our grasp. Now as I, for lack of better metaphor, round the post for home, I ...
I saw this movie right...
Ramblings Post #36 There are things probably best left unsaid. I mean there are certain things when you say them that cast a certain light upon you now and forevermore. Like, admitting you're scared of ballerinas. It might be because your older siste...
Bad Morning Listening
Ramblings Post #19A few months ago I went back to regular radio for my ride into work. My ride is up Atlanta's west side of 285 and takes about 15 -20 minutes in average traffic. It used to take longer, but I discovered a shortcut that minimizes my h...
The Office Moguls - Part 3
Ramblings Post #16Sometimes you can only feel that you've done something wrong because karma treats you so bad. You know that feeling, when suddenly that trip you've planned coincides with a sudden downturn in cash and you get the runs, you know, som...
Movies I love for no reason at all
Ramblings Post #14When you run out of things to talk about in a blog, or news article or any regularly posted or updated thing, and just need to fill a void, you pull out a list. They're simple to do, you make it about damn near anything, and if you'...
Our own little Banana Republic (ans)
This is a political postThis week a coup happened in of all places: our own backyard. It was no banana republic rich with natural resources, or some African quagmire with a intertribal argument going back to before we walked upright. No, this time it...
That Word, I do not think it means what you think it means...
Ramblings Post #13Every now and then, I encounter an anomaly of sense that your average person wouldn't have encountered, not because they're not bright, but simply because they're not curious. Everyday I get surprised by folks who not only don't kno...
You got an overflow of women where exactly?
Ramblings Post #9I'm taking a moment resting my brain from my brief for a very important matter. One crucial to thousands, nay, perhaps hundreds of thousands of lives. I'm talking about the ratio of single men to single women in Atlanta. Now if that ...
So, you need how much to get by? Really?
Ramblings Post #8Sometimes in the course of the conversation or reading, you come across a statement, a concept and idea that that just boggles the mind. Lewis Black said he once overheard a woman remark "if it wasn't for my horse, I never would have...
The weekend of plenty...kinda.
Ramblings post #4I begin to feel the icy fingers of responsibility brush at the edges of my being as the cold reality of mediocrity at this next level of education imprints itself on my mind. Well, not really. But I do need to step it up the next lev...
The White House - 8am - Jan 20th. 2009
The funny part is that is was originally published November 5th 2008...
Bad Photography
Ramblings Post #1It's a new year and I'm changing the title of the posts that don't directly deal my issues in relationships or about relationships, or anything like that into my brand new category - ramblings from the mental broom closet, which aptl...
Sometimes it's simple stuff
Mental Rehab Post #44What can I say. Sometimes it's not the dreams of wealth and excitement, it's more than that. And if you don't get it, I've been around the folks with pockets full of cash and I've seen how when they think they really got it all, ...
Merry Christmas
Um...there ain't a whole lot more after that.Sorry.Bad Economy.But it's allowed us all to get back to basics, to understand that the Holiday isn't about what we get, it's about love and family and friends and celebrating another year of health and ha...
The obligatory James Bond Post
I am a James Bond FanI like the character James Bond. I've actually read the novels and found him interesting. The movies have ebbed between glorious (Goldfinger or Goldeneye) and "what the hell are they doing" (see Moonraker or Licence to Kill). But...
I Apparently Like Black Shirts
Mental Rehab Post #31In an effort to complete this mental/emotional rehab, I've decided to start posting what would considered to the undiscerning eye to be some general crap. It is not. What you are seeing here is like when you re-organize anything ...
Musing's Fall Comment Drive
This would be a Post. Right Here. Posting. I listen to the classics on WABE in my local area, and right now they're in the middle of their fall pledge drive, raising money to keep public radio public. And no, I have yet to donate. According to their ...
