The Genius That is Bill Wurtz. I posted this on my Facebook Page. For my Friends to Enjoy, but It may have been over their heads. (Or maybe no one has time anymore to invest in watching something of quality—twenty second sound bites is what they want…) Now, I am not being arrogant. Nor pompous. … Continue reading
Back in the day (1986-7) when I was on the USS Callaghan DDG 994 and had more than a day of liberty (and before I had a vehicle) I would ride the bus to downtown San Dog and hang out in the titty bars. There was an old YMCA close by–The kind of YMCA that … Continue reading
So, I suddenly realized that my auto insurance expired two days ago. I have been ‘with’ Progressive over 9 years for my insurance needs. Paying just the bare amount to be ‘legal’. Don’t need no ‘comprehensive.’ Don’t need a million dollars worth of collateral dead man walking compensation. Don’t need no protection from “Acts of … Continue reading
Dateline: 24 OCT 2020 Time: 0020 hours. Some knocking at my back door. “Who is it?” I said. “It’s your Muse. Open the damn door.” I open the ‘damn’ door and sure as shit there she stood, looking as radiant as ever. “Did you get a tan? Looks like you got a tan. It’s a … Continue reading
There are so many reasons today to rejoice. We are living in wonderful, vibrant times. Ponder this: you can communicate with anyone in the world with just a mouse click or a keyboard strike. Could anyone have imagined this just a decade or so ago? The opportunities we have today! It blows my mind (what … Continue reading
“EBP?” This means “Eye-Ball Problem.” Generally a statement hurled from a black woman at someone who is staring at her. I love strong black women (Hell! I don’t think I have ever met a weak black woman–they just do not exist.) Anyway… Here is my “EBP” story. It is very ‘light,’ so don’t get excited. … Continue reading
Not Callen, But almost a ‘Dead-Ringer’–Especially the Smile (Ed. Note: Callen Was / Is More Beautiful) If Jenna was the ‘air-brushed’ perfection, professional beautiful angel, then it follows… yin and yang: Callen was the unkempt, unsteady, unreliable, super lazy blonde stoner / juicer who did not give a fuck. Half the times she showed up … Continue reading
First “Indigo Girl”: JENNA My First night working at Hotel Indigo. Jenna, (Night ‘Auditor’—manager) asked me: “Do you like music?” “Of course. I love music,” I replied. “Look at this video,” she said as she came over to me with her cell phone locked and loaded. “OK” I watched some dude singing and playing guitar … Continue reading
I realize this is brief, but I am still awaiting the return from Waco of my muse, so, as I wait, I thought I would ‘tease’ this bit a mite. (Ever try to ‘tease’ a mite?) Almost an effort in futility Nevermind… OK, first ‘shift’ at Hotel Indigo (2200hrs to 0600hrs) I arrived twenty minutes … Continue reading
Perhaps I’ll edit this later. Perhaps not. This sums up how I am feeling right now. ************** Saigon… shit; I’m still only in Saigon… Every time I think I’m gonna wake up back in the jungle. When I was home after my first tour, it was worse. I’d wake up and there’d be nothing. I … Continue reading
A page from my Misfit Notebook while at UBH. (Note to self: “Self, you need to continue your UBH Saga.”) “Okay. I’m on it.” For anyone wondering why we had ‘homemade’ pens: They gave us only the innards–they didn’t want us trying to commit suicide with the plastic parts. So we improvised. Too Heavy?
An hour or two before I was scheduled to depart UBH, Brenda, the Ornamental Chinese Psychiatrist began a group session. She was carrying a rather large over inflated white beach ball with words scribbled all over it: Statements, questions, ponderings, et cetera. “Hello everyone, ready for a new session?” She cheerfully greeted all at Our … Continue reading
Sal (Hispanic Marine) Gift of Gab and Excellent Sense of Humor “Sadder than a Midget with a Yo-yo.” His quote. Not mine. Lydia (Old and Gray and Grizzled Broad—but wonderful) Michael (Big dude. ‘Bout thirty stone.) We called him “Pete”—not sure why Christine (Bat – shit crazy. And obnoxious. And a bitch–but just for one … Continue reading
I met a young broken woman while at Rehab. (Hell! We were all ‘broken.’ Otherwise how the fuck did WE ALL END UP IN THIS PLACE??) Let us call her name, “Kelsey” (Because that was probably her name) Once while KNEE deep in some dark philosophical discussion she looked me dead in my eye and … Continue reading

No secret: “Lance is an Atheist.” (This is well-documented.) However, I do love AND RESPECT All Folks of Faith. I just do not roll that way. Cannot. But I … Continue reading
Dear Facebook Friends: (Rot-row—here we go again) “Dear FB Friends,” I begin again. I ‘use’ FB to flesh out new ideas for new posts. Most never come to fruition and most of my FB posts no one ever reads. Doesn’t matter. I write them. Mostly for me. Writing is generally an exercise in futility (or … Continue reading
I love becoming Sixty-Three. I have reached that stage of life whereby I can say what-ever-the-fuck I want to say. No Consequenes. No Reprecussions. No Nada. (You got some ‘Nada?’—bring it!) What the hell anyone gonna do to me that has not already been attempted? I give zero fucks what anyone thinks of me. This … Continue reading
I Recently Posted this on Facebook (not sure why) ****** “To All My Facebook Friends: I love to ‘share’ stuff. (This is the ‘primary purpose’ of FB as I understand it) Some of the things I ‘share’ are good. Some other things not so much. But I share anyway. Why? Because I can Because I … Continue reading
(Vid Credit: Shea et al) “Yes, I do!” “I write; therefore I am” –Bastardize quote from Rene Descartes. Pounding out shit, day after day is sometimes difficult, but when it ‘flows,’ it is fucking magical. And worth all the agony. I love it! I love it when it ‘works.’ I despise myself when it doesn’t. … Continue reading
I am struggling. Failing. Flailing. Just another dead fish. Going with the flow. Looking for distraction. Abstract things to fill my mind. And take me to some happier places. Mostly Movies But also music. But the booze trumps all distractions. And makes cowards of us all. Such an evil mistress. She gives and She takes. … Continue reading

Having nothing better to do, I would take the bus from 32’nd Street Naval Base to Downtown San Dog. Not much there. ‘Cept Titty-Bars. I embraced them Met a … Continue reading
There is not a way I am gonna try to explain everything that is ‘going on’ in this photograph. Suffice to say, it is just my attempt to ‘photo-document’ the gnats what are trying to steal my wine. Yes, I realize they won’t drink much, but damnit! They can buy their own wine. And I … Continue reading
“Near the front lines he’d been found A mine blew his jeep into a twisted heap And I still hear the sound Of the wheel that kept spinnin’ ’round.” ***** For some bizarre reason, this song reminds me of my first wife, Janet. I suppose it is because she was in the U.S. Army Reserve … Continue reading
There is a very rare and narrow window into my world. Let us call it the ‘Sobriety Window.” For lack of a term. Sometimes, I attempt to thrust me out of that window. Sometimes I just ignore it Sometimes, I actually make it outside. Into the ‘Real World.’ Then I panic! Try to get back … Continue reading
