Twitter Tweets?

So the Political debates have allowed me to 'unlock' Twitter.  Prior to this past week, I had maybe 30 tweets and really didnt feel any need to check it out more than once a month or two. Social Networking at it's absolute best!
  I was at Starbucks, being pretentious as usual, and 'writing' when I checked out Twitter and actually replied to random strangers about the debates.
  Unlike FaceCrack, Twitter is all about the random strangers and oddball interactions, and if anyones about oddball, its this guy...right here!  Same guy who recently lit a rocket that was strapped to his gt snowracer sled and rode it down a big hill....for fun. Ywah, thats how I roll.
  I have to edit that video too...reminder! 
 Anyway, this past week has been pretty cool as I have gained a few followers (Who werent spamming idiots, or bots) and have been following some pretty funny folks. Anything that makes me laugh out loud, Im down! Whether its PC or not.. I figure, the more crass the better! We all need to come out of our shells now and then, what with the end of the world and all ;-)

  On an unrelated note. My new Charity, The FEED THE BACHELOR Fund, has not had much promise in its first pledge drive... some kind soul is pledging some burgers.. I may well make it to my birthday next month! Alas this Endangered Species may soon be Extinct. Feed your favorite pet bachelor, people!!! Its only the humane thing to do!!

  Alas, this is a short one, as work has been murder lately and sleep has not been a friend to me.  Maybe tonight...

Spin the globe and see where you land

      Funny the difference a season can make.  My last post at the end of Spring had me gearing up for an epic European backpacking trip.  Rome, Naples, Procida Island, Bolzano, and various other stops in Italy before swinging up to Poland to visit with a friend there after staying with a gracious and patient friend in Italy.  Wroclaw was special to see for the historical side of things but more importantly to me, it was the birthplace of my dear friend Margaret.  Slawek, her brother, and I would travel the streets of their youth that they had told me all about over the course of decades... it brought Maggie back a little bit, for a short while.  A special end to a pretty special trip.  Definitely had some bittersweet moments as well but the glory of the Roman ruins, the awe inspiring mountains of the Dolomites, to the excitement of hiking up a winding hillside through dense brush and tree cover to behold the ruins of old castles, meticu...

Blogwork is Homework is Good Work

 Hello, Gentle Reader,    This blog has always been my way of sharpening my writing chops, or shaking off the rust of my laziness and trying to find my 'voice', as it were, online.  I know, Gentle Reader, that you often do not give feedback, and thats ok.  This space isn't meant as an ego-reach and any and all feedback regarding my posts is appreciated, often more than you might guess, but thats not why I write here.     Most of my drive and reasoning is the simple act of it.  Writing is healthy for the soul and great practice more than anything else, the more practice you put in, the better at it you get... or at least that's what I keep incessantly telling myself, forever hopeful that I am in fact getting 'better' as a writer, whatever that actually means.  I suppose my ability to project my voice comes down to you, Gentle Reader.  I hope you hear me and I am able to project the visuals and a sense of where I am, figuratively as w...

Fuck this place, I’m out…

I grew up poor.  Really poor. To steal a line from Chris Rock, we grew up so poor we couldn’t afford the O R at the end of the word, we were just PO. hahaha. Still accurate. But my childhood poverty isn’t the point of this post. I mention it because growing up I had to watch all my friends going on family vacations to Disneyland and the Phillipines and Mexico and wherever their families were in the world while I roamed my asphalt jungle like a half wild animal in a cage.   I always vowed that I would see the world someday. It was a fervent childhood promise full of idealism and hope, as only a child can conjure.   In my heartbreak of being left behind and alone to fend for myself all summer, I knew, in my bones…I just KNEW… I’d go out there and see the world some day. Even as those bitter tears streamed down my little cheeks, the fire to see the world, the one I only ever read about in books, burned deep in my soul.  … … … Fast forward a few decades.  I’ve ...
