Right there, clear as day, there’s Doug E. Fresh dancing.  Where the fuck was the Get-Fresh Crew?  Did Slick Rick know about this shit?  What the Fuck Was This, Right?

“You know my friend, right?”
This is Anti-Disney talking, a long-time friend, an artist, a brain with deep emotions and character scars: a born-connector.  He is also [...]

I’ve been silent for awhile, I admit.  Perhaps I’ve been stuck.  Or perhaps I’ve just been standing in the middle of the intersection too long, but the lights are changing and I better find my way back on the walkway before I get hit by something completely avoidable.
So I suppose It’s time to clear out [...]

In these present times, like no other, a statement by ol’ Grandpa Carl,  Korean War vet, seem very much in order. 
Grandpa Carl had just been asked if he had any advice for a newly married young relative.  He cleared his throat, took a sip of his Irish coffee, and then scanned the room.  His one [...]

It’s no surprise that I haven’t written anything about the real collapse of all that imaginary money that the so-called leaders of finance and government have puffed themselves and their subjects up with over the past eighty or so years.  I just don’t feel like I have much to contribute to that discussion, other than [...]
