I dream a whole stream of bad Little Britain comedy sketches, probably because I am currently watching series 3 on DVD. The most interesting dream sketch was of a new character, Philip who is a middle aged, failed musician who still tries to get his “big break” in the most inopportune situations. The role [...]

We were so young and in love. Of course, like any other young couple in love, we thought that our love wasn’t understood by the world at large, who we believed was plotting to tear us apart. Looking back in hindsight, the fact is that the world just didn’t care.
It was Roman who suggested that [...]

I noticed a disturbing trend on campus this past week. There is an unusually disproportionate high number of students walking around with casts, slings, bandages and on crutches. What the fuck have they all been doing this past summer to get injured?
Case in point: I ran into one very minor acquaintance on campus with her [...]

1. I have finally, after many years, obtained a copy of “Everything ( A Book About Manic Street Preachers)” by Simon Price. I’ve always been a fan of the band and only knew about scattered bits and pieces of their history, but to finally read their entire unusual history in one huge chunk: my god, [...]

Several weeks ago, somebody contacted through e-mail inviting me to the first annual Richmond Hip Hop Summit which was the culmination of the UNIA-ACL #456 sponsored Black Freedom Weekend event.
(I suppose they invited me of my Soul Train reviews, but they must’ve neglected to read the rest of the website where they would’ve found [...]

My landlord wanted to install one of those Rennai endless hot water heaters in the house. ( Why? it’s not like we run out of hot water with our regular hot water heater?) Being the HVAC professional, I am selected to install one in the house. But we hit a snag, we need a exterior [...]

Those damnable fools at WRIC TV 8, showing another useless Redskins preseason football game. (This week, they were playing the even more useless Ravens.) Of course, the game goes long and guess what program gets preempted? That’s right, Soul Train. Never mind the fact WRIC has the lowest rated local news or plays an episode [...]

Friday. Got my rather sizable student grant check in the mail. I wanted to go crazy for one night and live like a king, complete with a throne surrounded by fresh fruit and holding a big roasted turkey drum stick in my meaty paw while I shout obscenities to the court jester, but no one [...]

ah, My first day back in school. I have always viewed my first day of any school year/first day in a new school/semester with trepidation. Although my fears have always turned out unfounded. I don’t know why I think like this is because I recall that my first day of kindergarten as being non traumatic. [...]

I was back at the hotel/restaurant I used to work at before I got into the HVAC trade. I don’t know how I ended up working there again, but I kept thinking to myself : “I need to get back to my real job doing the HVAC thing” I was about to walk out the [...]
