Earth Day: Williams Perry has a big Carbon Footprint...

Today I learned that William "The Refrigerator" Perry is in the hospital. This makes me a bit sad because I am a lifelong Bears fan. He is a larger-than-life character and I hope he gets better soon. Since today is Earth Day, I thought I'd share my Top Five ways that the Fridge is worthy of Earth Day recognition... Reason #1: Gravitational Pull

Genesis (Fresno) Could Use Phil Collins: C-E-Doh

So the CEO of Genesis, Elaine Bernard, rolled doubles three consecutive times...you know what that means Monopoly fans, go to jail, go directly to jail, do not pass go, do not collect $200 (I think she's collected enough).… Continue

Economic Stimulus Plan: Sit Under a Tree and Smell the Flowers

Try to follow this line of logic: I did a Rogue Show this year...people came out to support...I used (some of) the proceeds to get a new tattoo...I estimate the economic impact of my Rogue performance to be approximately $5921.16...I'm cool with that. People came to see my show, they bought a drink or dinner, maybe bought a new article of clothing, hired a babysitter, s… Continue

Gottschalks Blazer or Gottschalks Stock?

It's a crazy day in a community when a person sees a vintage blazer as a "good investment." Beth bought me this great blazer which is a 44L. She was excited because the size is so rare, but then she was even more excited when she saw the tag...she didn't realize that I would see it as an asset.

Maybe I should be on the lookout for other Gottschalks merchandise. It will keep this blazer near my stock certificate for the 100 s… Continue

Serious Daddy Issues

There are times when I think my priorities are out of whack...I am told that a surprise is coming and I think the answer to the riddle is "Spare Tire" What to people want in life? What needs to we have?

What in the world would happen if Robert Fletcher showed up at my doorstep? Thirty-five years and no contact. No pictures. No idea if he is even alive...he may not even know if I am alive...that is not depressing. Why? Because when the following riddle was presented -- w… Continue

Morrissey and B.I.G.: Violence is not the Answer

The Sweet & Tender Hooligans are to This Charming Band as Notorious B.I.G. is to Tupac. Not exactly a rivalry full of street cred...

Why can't we all just get along????? Continue

Pizza & Beer vs. Pizza & Beer

"When I was a child I spoke as a child I understood as a child I thought as a child; but when I became a man I put away childish things." I Corinthians 13:11 I will quote the Bible and support evolution in the same post. In my opinion, the two are not mutually exclusive. My concept of "Pizza & Beer" has evolved over time. As a child: Pizza & Beer = Hungry Howie's & Natural I… Continue

Grandma 2.0

This is a picture of me and my grandpa when I was just a wee little lad. Up until recently he was listed as one of my heroes on my myspace page. I deleted all heroes yesterday. You see, my grandparents are now separated. I am not mad at him (or maybe I… Continue

Poverty is the Mother of Invention

Several years ago I thought it would be fun to panhandle on a Saturday morning. I woke up, put on a shirt and tie, and made a cool sign. The sign read, "I Need Capital to Start my Own Business." In a two-hour period of time I "earned" $22 and a bunch of laughs. The six o'clock news… Continue
