War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Despite a shitload of shit happening all over on many levels and subjects, I doomscrolled on the InterWebs until my fingers wept and concluded the nowadays is an enigma wrapped in a riddle painted by a mystery shoved down a rabbit hole — am I clear? Sad and my fault, i.e., mea culpa to it…
Yeah! This Saturday afternoon my first — and most-likely my only — novel was released by self-publisher Outskirts Press and now it’s floating out there in the literary ether-world after a shitload of time in a cardboard box. First draft was written in the summer of 1994, but how will the finished product look like…
Approaching early-evening and darkness here this Monday in California’s Central Valley, and in the continuing plotline of the nowadays, it’s also near-upon 4 o’clock tomorrow morning in Ukraine. Beyond the death and destruction, this afternoon an ominous pile of future shit from China’s foreign minister Wang Yi, staying tight with Vlad Putin: ‘No matter how…
Approaching late morning and the noon hour this Friday here in California’s Central Valley — overcast with gentle sprinkles, a weather pattern known lately on the Left Coast (and other sections of the Western US) as a rainstorm. Reality in tiny droplets. Today another look at media in this crazed war-and-political theater period, and how…
Near a week now the fighting in Ukraine, still reeling from the staged, bloody-incompetent war waged by Vlad Putin’s Russian-named army — the outcast drum beats steady toward the way-obvious aggressor. However, a conflict as seen in real-time with real people in shit-on-a-stick real situations that are horribly dangerous and scary. Coverage of war maybe…
Unfortunately, the last three days I’ve been too slow to give a shit on just about anything — even doomscrolling the news is ho-hum with frightening mental spells — and I couldn’t get my desire up to scale to post shit on the ton of shit taking place all over the shit place. What happened…
A grifter’s grind. (Illustration found here). In a world gone near-mad with shitstorms festering all over — war in Ukraine, democracy in peril, crazy-ass truckers are closing down cities, and now T-Rump has a literary grift with the same inept, lazy and fact-free menu like all of anything he’s involved with or is around. A…
Approaching early-evening Wednesday here in California’s Central Valley, and although it was another warmish, bright day, this kind of weather is too early it seems, which badly bodes for a heavy-hot year ahead. Beautiful right now, but triple-digit temperatures are only a few short weeks away — way-too soon. In the surfing InterWeb news sites,…
Instead of political bullshit — surfed the InterWebs this afternoon/early evening, but nothing odd or significant to catch the eye — I instead listened to the main title of one of my way-most-favorite movies, “Lawrence of Arabia,” with the music by the great Maurice Jarre. The scene of the film opening and bits of the…
Thinly overcast this near-mid-day Saturday here in California’s Central Valley — a weather ambiance of just short of fog and leaning weakly toward muted, faded sunshine. Among the festered news today, a nod toward good use of a word game that’s apparently captured the intellects of a shitload of people — the web-based word game,…
