Work
This one’s a few years old, but I’ve always liked it. It was written with the intention of turning it into a song … but if you’ve ever heard me sing, I promise you it wouldn’t have been pretty!
The (Sometimes) Angry Punk Presents…
Hullo everyone, welcome back to another addition of my weekly pop culture moodspins romp. I had a pretty good week myself, I hope you all did as well. Last week’s column was a lot of fun to write, and I hope you all had fun reading it as well. This week I think I’mma take [...]
ig - Leave the Driving to Us
A lot of people ask me where i get my ideas. Five little words: FOUR HOUR LAYOVER IN OAKLAND.
The Yeti Rants: Our Two Party Fallacy
I consider myself to be somewhat of American History buff. The key to understanding what is going on today is best found by looking back to see the root causes of events and how they developed.

Hodgeopogdeatorium - At Last
So, like a year ago, Bill Cosby began making series of inflammatory public statements during the anniversary of the Brown v Board of Education decision. His comments drew a bit of coverage and pinch of controversy. And now I finally have a place to share my thoughts on it.

Cali Chronicles: The Dangerous Proximity of LA to Vegas
One of the biggest pulls out to the wild wild west was the great outdoors. The ocean waves & the mountain backdrop with city life in between speak for themselves. And of course the weather’s always creepily nice. Eventually I’ll get to Joshua Tree National Park, Baja, Santa Barbara, Palm Springs, Disney, I can go [...]
Writing From The Soapbox: Pope Benedict XVI and The Fourth Rome
On April 19th Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, Prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of Faith (i.e. the Inquisition) and John Paul II right hand man for 24 years became his successor. The hopes of many for thorough reform of the Roman Catholic Church were seemingly dashed, as the foremost conservative catholic theologian of the past [...]
Ramblin Men
When I was young my father used to tell me stories of how his father would beat him and force him to sing along to old country songs. He was an alcoholic, hiding his tears in his beers, making his son join along for the ride. He had a propensity for learning the words quickly [...]
