Unintentional Observation

Here is a question for you.  Are your friends and aquaintenances the kind that will ask you about anything?  I mean, if something bad appears to have happened, will they straight out ask you?  I would like to think that my friends would, but something happened on Saturday that has made me question that thought.
I [...]

Flustering Day

Well, the process of this career change is moving about like sorgums in February.  So, I’m trying to keep busy by drafting some blog materials for my other blogs and putting together something for some freelance work.
 On one hand I don’t know why I’m doing this because my classes kick off next Tuesday and will [...]

Mix Disc Swap - Part 2

Well, looks like Spike scanned the files on the mix disc I sent him and immediately assumed the fetal position for self preservation.  <chuckle>  Can’t say I blame him.  He’s in the music business and I’m sure he is so tired of hearing these old redneck songs he could puke.
A lot of the folk at [...]

They Voted Yes. Here Come The Taxes

Oh boy, it didn’t take even 30 days! 
According to the Charleston Daily Mail the Kanawha County Commission is seeking a reassessment of the taxes on the:
property that belongs to Tri-State Racetrack & Gaming Center in Nitro and all the land that surrounds it.

Career Change Update

One of the things I’ve been meaning to do is to update the career change process.  So I’m sitting at Panera Bread with a cup of mocha-something-forbidden with a chick behind me that is loud and jumping up and down, running back and forth.  I was alone at this outlet when I started a few [...]

What The H*ll is WRONG With People?!

Ok, even for West Virginia this is bad.  I mean, this is beyond comprehension.
In today’s Charleston Daily Mail comes a story on six people who hold a woman hostage and sexually assault her.  This story is beyond anything I could imagine. 
These six sickoes held a woman hostage for a week.  She was stabbed and sexually [...]

Where No Man Has Gone Before

This is just going to be a quick entry [I think].
I went riding yesterday.  I didn’t take a map.  Boy, was I sorry.
Now, actually, I had a great ride.  Took off from home around 11:00 and took 62 out of Nitro to Point Pleasant.  Then went on to Mason and hopped the bridge to Ohio [...]

My Interview with the Chinchilla

It was indeed an honor to be selected for interview by Mr. Chinchilla.  He was kind, warm, soft and smelled sweetly of vodka soaked raisins.  Here is a bit of a tease from my interiew:
We have reached the point where nothing is sacred, no one is modest, and multiple body piercings are uninteresting. The “f” word has [...]

Mix Disc Swap

Over on the West Virginia Bloggers Message Board, some of the regulars have been participating in a music swap.  Instigated by Scarlet, names were placed in a figurative hat and participants were assigned a member to send a music mix disc.  Elvisdrinkmo pulled my name and put together the following mix:

Art Blakey- Confirmation
Your the Reason- [...]
