True Blood

I finally got around to watching the premier episode of the HBO series, True Blood. Vampires never fascinated me, but at the same time, HBO series have never disappointed me. Hell, I’m one of the few people who loved, and still love to this day, Carnivale. With True Blood, I’m left wondering if HBO will …

9/11

I thought about composing some sort of tribute to this day, but I decided instead to share a poem I wrote a few days after September 11, 2001. I later incorporated this into a larger poem after the 2002 mid-term elections. It’s a bit juvenile, but I think it captures my emotions from that day …

Obama in Bohemia!

While living in East Texas, I found a home among East Texas’ progressive underground, a unique blend of neo-Bohemians, punks, artists and emo kids.  Though small, it was a vibrant community that encouraged artistic expression, personal liberties, and a general sense of rebellion against all the cultural stereotypes attached to East Texas.  We went to …

Fast drivers, slow walkers!

A few days ago I was on my way to work when a lady in a black Lexus attempted to pull out in front of me. She had come to a 4-way stop about 5 seconds after me, but felt that she was entitled to the right-of-way because of her car (which was probably leased). …

Week 1 – Cowboys 28 Browns 10

As a Cowboys’ fan, you can’t really complain about much from Sunday’s 28-10 victory over the Cleveland Browns, yet I find myself thinking about missed scoring opportunities and I hear other fans wanting more intensity from the team.  Are we spoiled fans? Probably, but it also means we have plenty to talk about regarding the …

Government is not the answer!

I voted for George W. Bush in 2000. I’m not proud, but I did. At the time, I thought he provided the answers our country needed and he didn’t wear as much make-up as Al Gore. On September 12, 2001, I watched the Bush Administration’s response to 9/11 and I knew I made mistake in …

The Daily Kos

Over the course of the past week, I have listened and watched as many of the major media outlets in our nation tried to attack Sarah Palin, especially the New York Times and the various television networks owned by NBC.  These obviously biased media outlets decided to run with less-than accurate leads and ended up having …

Thoughts on the RNC…

If the Republicans could some how capture Wednesday night, package it and open it every day from now until the election, they would be in good shape. In addition to the energizing speeches from former presidential candidates Mike Huckabee and Rudy Giuliani, Governor Sarah Palin delivered one of the most energizing speeches in political convention …

Ode to Escalators: Avoiding the Obvious!

With my love of politics, I should blog about Sarah Palin’s rivoting speech tonight at the Republican Convention. However, I feel I need more time to let Governor Palin’s words seep in before issuing a critique. Let’s just say that I’m glad to see someone else step up and confront Barack Obama head-on. Instead, I …
