Super Bowl Sunday

You know what’s Crazy? I’ll tell you what’s crazy™ Super Bowl Sunday. It’s a national eruption of hype. It’s a vomitorium of  excess. It’s a gigantic pimple  filled with neon colored confetti and adrenaline. The NFL season begins in early September. 32 teams have hopes and dreams. Every fan says “This is the year we go […]

Beast Mode

You know what’s crazy? I’ll tell you what’s crazy. Marshawn Lynch. Beast Mode. The Skittle Man. Dreadlocks and a gold grill. Marshawn Lynch is as uncomfortable in front of a camera as he is in the clutches of a line backer. He is awkward at a press conference like chewing salt water taffy during your […]

A new pair of shoes

You know what’s crazy? I’ll tell you what’s crazy™ When you do your best and your best isn’t good enough. I took an ass chewing today. The sad part is I thought I had done more than expected, more than needed. I thought my effort was superb and bullet proof. My task was widely applauded […]

Flying Monkeys and Fake News

You know what’s crazy? I’ll tell you what’s crazy™ Real News vs Fake News. I just had a serious discussion. It was a news discussion. It was a calm discussion, but a passionate discussion. It was two men talking about the philosophical nuances of what journalism is. I am a trained journalist, with a B.A. […]

Morning News is a joke

You know what’s crazy? I’ll tell you what’s crazy. Morning News. It’s disheartening. 2 Minutes of news. And then 58 minutes of promos. If it’s not the Bachelor, it’s Dancing With the Stars. Wednesday morning, I’m watching GMA and anchors George Stephanopolous and Robin Roberts are fawning over the final three dance teams. Erin Andrews […]

You know what’s crazy? I’ll tell you what’s crazy™ The daily dumb. There’s so much dumb, it makes you numb. How much dumb do you deal with every day? I wade through dumb so deep I need boots. The dumb is so prevalent where I live, I should wear a surgical mask. Dumb is as […]

The Original Pantry

You know what’s crazy? I’ll tell you what’s crazy™ The Original Pantry. No, not the one in Wilma Flintstone’s kitchen, but the one in downtown Los Angeles. The Original Pantry is a grease fire of history. It’s a skillet full of memories. It’s a counter where timeless stories have been told. At 1st glance, the […]

beach time

You know what’s crazy? I’ll tell you what’s crazy™ Beach Time. That’s the time it takes to get things done at the beach compared to how long it would take to get it done elsewhere. Beach Time is one part manana and one part whenever. If two plus two is always four. Sometimes at the […]

DEFLATE GATE

You know what’s crazy? I’ll tell you what’s crazy™ DEFLATE GATE. With the Superbowl a week away, the propaganda machine is revved up like a teenage boy at the prom. DEFLATE GATE? It’s raw hide Water Gate. It’s CSI about PSI. Everyone knows that winners never cheat and cheaters never win. But that’s a fairy tale. […]

carmel beach

You know what’s crazy? I’ll tell you what’s crazy™ The Beach. At the end of the Earth, where the sand ends and the waves begin, there lies an aquatic boundary. So much beauty all condensed into one space. Sunshine and salt air and spectacular blue-green water. Waves and sea lions and surfers. The beach is like […]
