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 of displays… Continue reading RACE: Enter Personal Politics

Just One More Level
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 successful entrepreneur, I’m… Continue reading Just One More Level
Back to the Sea, Vermin
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 marvel many would like… Continue reading Back to the Sea, Vermin
1,200 Years of Perseverance
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. However, the Louisiana… Continue reading 1,200 Years of Perseverance
Pleasantries
What’s Shea Butter and why would I wash my hands with it? Can I put it on toast?
DragonCon Wrap-Up
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 the Hilton this… Continue reading DragonCon Wrap-Up
DragonCon 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 real success with those.… Continue reading DragonCon 2005 (!!!)
A Black Spot in the Road
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 into the… Continue reading A Black Spot in the Road
BlackBerry Cobbler
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 (hint, hint), but I’m… Continue reading BlackBerry Cobbler
I Wish I Bought Electric
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 not something we usually… Continue reading I Wish I Bought Electric
