You know what’s crazy. I’ll tell you what’s crazy™ The conflict. A 36 year old woman dies. She is slumped over on the couch. Her eyes are open, fixed and dilated. Her gaze is forever, staring into an interminable infinity. Authorities will later report the skinny, raw nerve of a woman is veiny and blue. […]
You know what’s crazy? I’ll tell you what’s crazy™ The Bracket Busters. How do you feel now? Villanova is toppled by NC State. Baylor fizzles like a birthday balloon in a nor’easter. And UCLA, the little Pac 12 team that nobody thought deserved to be invited is going dancing. Ha. Ha. Ha. That’s the beauty […]
You know what’s crazy? I’ll tell you what’s crazy™ A Black man hanging from a tree in the south. It’s symbolism that makes you wince. It’s a bible set on fire. It’s a brick through stained glass. It’s a hungry child that nobody feeds. A black man hanging from a tree in the south. If […]
You know what’s crazy? I’ll tell you what’s crazy™ The animal hoarders in the ugly little house. The sky is gray. The yard is muddy. The air is cool and rain is starting to fall. I get out of the news vehicle and survey the situation. A school bus suddenly pulls up. It’s light blink […]
You know what’s crazy? I’ll tell you what’s crazy™ The anonymous St. Patrick’s Day. It’s March 17th 2015. The only reason I know this is because people are wearing green shirts. The only reason I know it’s St Paddy’s day is because the calendar is staring me in the face. “Hey look at that; it’s […]
You know what’s crazy? I’ll tell you what’s crazy™ March Madness. It’s a televised spectacle. It’s one part sports and one part national obsession. It’s a leprauchan circumsizing himself with a sharpie. It’s a potato chip mainlining heroin. It’s cheap beers at theme restaurants with a million tv screens. God Love America. I’m going blind […]
You know what’s crazy? I’ll tell you what’s crazy™ An evil equine stealing my soul. I walk into the rest room of the upscale restaurant. The music is playing and seems extraordinarily loud. It is reverberating off my ear drums, perhaps because the floor is tile and the counter granite. The music pours down from […]
You know what’s crazy? I’ll tell you what’s crazy™ A bar stool of crazy! All this basketball Madness reminded me of one of my favorite hoops moments from a few years back… I’m watching game six of the NBA finals on one screen and Honduras V USA soccer on another. Suddenly a young woman with […]
You know what’s crazy? I’ll tell you what’s crazy™ Pot Hole Hell. I’m driving up I-65 and it’s like motoring along the dark side of the moon. There are craters big enough to inhale an entire car. Chunks of highway are missing as if they have entered the witness protection program. There are holes deep […]
You know what’s crazy? I’ll tell you what’s crazy™ working 4 stories at once. It’s starts at 7:30 am. I’m not scheduled to come to work for another 6 hours, but already the news is coming to me. I should be asleep. I’m awake. I should be drinking coffee dreaming of unicorns and rainbows. Instead, I’m […]
