CRAZY CUSTOMER SERVICE

You know what’s crazy? I’ll tell you what’s crazy™ Customer Service in this country. “Dad, the DirecTV is off,” my eldest son reports. “What?” “Yeah, there’s a black screen that says service not available. Call extension 203.” I scratch my head. “Off? Did you check the connection?” “It’s not the connection, dad.? I paid the […]

Creed

You know what’s crazy? I’ll tell you what’s crazy™ CREED. It’s the 7th version of the classic fight film starring the indomitable pugilist Rocky Balboa. Sylvester Stallone is brilliant in a role that he created, that he is synonymous with. Yo Adriane! But in Creed, his character has come full circle, from loan shark bum, to […]

FaceBook: new millennium Crack

You know what’s crazy? I’ll tell you what’s crazy.™ Facebook Addiction. You can’t snort it. You can’t drink it.

I am about to enjoy this golden nucleus of life-sustaining embryonic breakfast when suddenly…. I am surrounded by 12 […]

You know what’s crazy? I’ll tell you what’s crazy™ Your Daddy’s America. In your daddy’s America, you could leave your doors unlocked. In your daddy’s America the pie cooled on the window sill and then was shared with the neighborhood kids. In your daddy’s America, no one felt you up to go visit grandma. This […]

A Mass Shooting a day

You know what’s crazy? I’ll tell you what’s crazy™ The San Bernardino shooting. 14 dead. 17 plus injured. 14 dead. It’s so sad we should all bow our heads and cry. Another Mass Shooting in America. It turns my stomach. The headlines, the incessant talking head banter about terrorism. Like the rest of my news […]

Where the internet ends

You know what’s crazy? I’ll tell you crazy™ The place where 4G becomes ZERO G. I look down at my phone and it simply reads: no service. “Can you hear me now?” Where on planet Earth, outside of the Congo and maybe parts of East L.A. can you travel and simply disappear off the face […]
