RACE: Enter Personal Politics

Tuesday, September 13th, 2005

We went to Athens’ Athica art gallery to see the RACE show. It’s a bit of an anti-whitey display, but I’m not going to say that the white man hasn’t done some malicious racial activities in the past and present. I’m sure that it will continue into the future, possibly as a result [...]

Just One More Level

Saturday, September 10th, 2005

I got to sleep this morning a bit after 3:00. It could have been a little closer to 4:00 than I’m admitting to, but that just sounds idotic to me. I was awake all night engaged heavily in a hopeful search for more experience, money, and adventure. No – I’m not a [...]

Back to the Sea, Vermin

Thursday, September 8th, 2005

I’m sure everyone has seen the large pipe pumping New Orleans’ water back into the ocean from whence it came. I wonder about all the contaminates they’re reporting. Are we just pumping them back out to sea, or is the water being filtered? If it is being filtered, how? That’s a [...]

1,200 Years of Perseverance

Thursday, September 8th, 2005

1,200 years ago an acorn pushed a pale tendril into the sunlight to begin its adventure. Today, the resulting ancient Live Oak Tree resides partly sumberged in 5-feet of water in Louisiana. A tree like this might live a couple of weeks in these conditions; Oak Trees drown rather quickly in floods. [...]

Pleasantries

What’s Shea Butter and why would I wash my hands with it? Can I put it on toast?

DragonCon Wrap-Up

Tuesday, September 6th, 2005

As you travel life’s highways, stop and smell the roses…and get a piercing. That’s the advice Con’rs heard, anyway. DragonCon is, as of recent years, a five day event including labor day. The event takes place in Atlanta within the Marriott Marquis and Hyatt hotels (registration was actually taken care of in [...]

DragonCon 2005 (!!!)

Saturday, September 3rd, 2005

Tomorrow (technically, later today) marks our first day attending DragonCon this year. We’re real excited about it. We were very close to getting a hotel room this time, but fell short of the timing. Amy put some really funny Chewbacca pictures into the art show this year. We’re hoping for a [...]

A Black Spot in the Road

Saturday, September 3rd, 2005

When I was younger, sometime in my Jr. High School days, I got myself into situations of remarkable trouble. One particular spot in my past that haunts me to this day is in regards to my activities as a teenage marauder. My friends and I used to go out late and night and [...]

BlackBerry Cobbler

Thursday, September 1st, 2005

As I’ve grown up in varying parts of Georgia, one thing remained absolutely constant; blackberries. They’re in south Georgia and north Georgia. They grow vigorously regardless of what pain you can submit them to. My mom makes the best blackberry cobbler in the world. I haven’t had it in sometime now [...]

I Wish I Bought Electric

Thursday, September 1st, 2005

Gas is out of control. I’m waiting for siphoners and car-jackers to rise into the norm. I told my wife to be wary of how she leaves her car in order that she not create an easy target. She locked my car doors for me last night at the house. It’s [...]
