War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
My daughter, Hannah, will put shame aside another time this weekend. She’s to perform again her stand-up spiel on crazed life, loves, and her wacky family — a performance part of the ‘That Time of the Month‘ comedy revue at the Cafe Coco in Nashville, Tenn. And a good laugh is way-much preferred than a good…
Bong it or not, US peoples are seemingly taking a more-advanced view of marijuana — pot, grass, wacky-tobacky, ‘bud,’ smoke, and to the straights/intellects: cannabis. A most-interesting survey out last week from Pew Research, a new high in a 40-year history: A national survey finds that 52 percent say that the use of marijuana should…
Raining again this way-early Friday morning on California’s north coast, and warm, too. We need the rain, and the heat takes the bite out of getting quickly soaked. Water and warmth, which together create a way-rainy future, as reported yesterday by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA): The study also showed a 20-30 percent…
Personally, I’m pretty-much sick and tired of the fuckin’ public. As manager of a liquor store, I’ve seen just about every kind of asshole, listened to way-too many deplorably-sad stories, and encountered a general mass of people who in recent times have become so delusional, and so fucked-completely-up, it’s really hard to fathom. And it ain’t just…
Ground fog, but clear skies this early Friday morning along California’s northern coast, and it feels like it’s a warmer, too. buffoon Should be a good weekend up here, but back eastward it’s way-Arctic-cold for the upcoming holiday weekend and President Obama’s double-billed second inauguration — he takes the oath of office on Sunday in…
Raining and a bit gloomy here this early Thursday morning along California’s northern coast, another day in the life. And life in the US, despite all the cliff-hangers, is mostly happy…but that could be the problem: What they found is that as people place more importance on being happy, they become more unhappy and depressed.…
Cloudy and wind-chilly this early Monday morning here on California’s northern coast, the first ‘real‘ day of the new year. Although technically, last Tuesday was the first and Wednesday the first ‘free‘ new day of the year, today marks the start of no holidays or other nefarious shit from interfering with our quest for life,…
My favorite/standard Thanksgiving screed, via Mr. Mark Twain: “Thanksgiving Day, a function which originated in New England two or three centuries ago when those people recognized that they really had something to be thankful for — annually, not oftener — if they had succeeded in exterminating their neighbors, the Indians, during the previous twelve months…
(Illustration found here). Even as a tiny, little shit — vs an old shit now — I’ve always been a full-blown movie nut. In countless darkened theaters as flickering images played across gigantic screens, these episodes in fantasy seemed to remove me from a world I couldn’t understand, or maybe didn’t want to, and created…
Dutch Engstrom: Man, you sure must have hurt that railroad. They spent a lot of money setting up that ambush. Pike Bishop: I caught up with them. Two or three times. There was a man named Harrigan. He used to have a way of doing things. I made him change his ways. And a hell…
