Okay, here it is.  Time to go.
Back when I only was thinking about doing a blog like this, I used to read a guy with the handle Channel Null.  He was in to hynosis, magick, actualizing hizdmanself and other such things.  One day, he up and declared his site was an energy sink and that [...]

I had an American Literature teacher in high school who looms large in my memory of those days, despite the fact that in physical stature he could have been a gnome.
We’ll call him Mr. Blunn.
He had the thinnest of comb overs on his pate, as well as piercing eyes that looked like onyx, at [...]

“I’m walking through the neighborhood the other night, and there are a bunch of cops hanging out across the street from a nightclub. And I overhear one of the shorter cops standing in the middle of the group say, ‘You know, [...]
