Johnny Get Your Gun Why do times of war inspire amazing graphics? I do not know. Maybe it’s cause the war machine pays such good money. But if you are a visual learner like me you need things drawn out for you. Esspecially complicated war patterns and such. Here is a diagram of Iraq’s Firepower, …

Faith Based Bio-Shield Ok my favorite part of last nights State of War address from Herr Bush was his call for “Project Bio-Shield”. I imagine that the development of the project might look something like this. I know that the bush team was well aware of the fact that the FX super hit show “The …
Ride a Black SwanI found myself driving around the city aimlessly and without purpose last night looking for something to do after I left Tracy’s Saloon just before midnight. It had been a great night so far. John Gwinn, crazed and delirious from cold sweats, two painfully sleepless nights, and a gallon of over the …
The Evidence is Clear The roads look like hell this morning. Our Wo-bee-gon town looks like one giant ice skating rink with a cool layer of slush puppy thrown on top. From my breakfast nook, I’m watching a rusted out cream colored Bonneville arduously dovetail it’s way up 35th street. There is enough snow on …
Starcraft Cruisers and Airstream Dreams I found a new background image for afrojet. This one was inspired by the Starcraft logo and my secret desire to own the biggest RV on the planet.

Garage Doors for PeaceI wish I had a garage door and lived in a climate that would allow me to do some outdoor painting in January. Then I could add to the Garage Doors Against the War protest. It would take a stunning amount of labored detailed work, but with some fine camel hair brushes …
The PianistWe haven’t any snow but still everything is white. The streets are white. The sidewalks are white. Street signs, bridges, my car, other humans and their pets — all covered in a thin layer of white chalky dirt and salt. The world looks like a cold blank canvas. It’s man versus the elements here …
Cribbage, Grog, and the South Side of FearJust as the housesitting was coming to a peaceful and tranquil end, things turned weird. I had made everyone in the neighborhood nervous and it was catching up to me in strange ways. There wasn’t much I could do; my hands were tied. I had to go along …
Selected ReadingsVery busy here housesitting my parents pad. I’m finding I need lots of time for reading by the fire, growing my beard, taking hour long breaks in the sauna room and watching as much reality television as possible. Have you seen the one where M.C. Hammer, Vince Neil, and that kid from “Goonies” all …
