The Freak Show (Book) http://www.Writing.Com/main/books.php/item_id/1348283-The-Freak-Show It never ceases to amaze me, the incredible generosity that people display. I had let my membership slide and I decided to not upgrade for a little while. Well to my surprise, somebody had upgraded my membership for me. I'm not sure why they did, but I am flabbergasted at the unfettered kindness of people. That, to me, is the cure for all the worlds ...[Read Full Post] Thu, 02 Oct 2008 22:08:38 EDT http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/610703 I had the weirdest dream, early this morning. I dreamt that David Hasselhoff threw 2 baseballs through my living room window, with me standing in it. I got mad, grabbed the baseballs and pursued him. The odd thing, he didn't break the windows. Eventually I found him down in a valley at some old house. He was shooting a movie. That right there is t...[Read Full Post] Sun, 24 Aug 2008 10:22:54 EDT http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/603485 The clock said 9:30am. It wasn't 10am. The clock said 9:44am. It wasn't 10am. The clock said 9:58. It wasn't 10am. Nobody, or nothing, could possibly stress me out as much as I stress myself out. I have this affinity for setting rigid time constraints on myself. If it's 5:46, I can't eat yet. I have to wait until 6. If it's 6:5...[Read Full Post] Fri, 22 Aug 2008 00:20:30 EDT http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/603153 I just came back from Fort Mohave Arizona and I have come up with one certainty. Hell is a four hour drive from my Long Beach apartment. I now know what a piece of bread feels like after I callously shove it into the toaster. My skin felt so tight and I felt like I was one more second from spontaneous combustion. I'm not a religious man, but I wa...[Read Full Post] Thu, 07 Aug 2008 17:34:38 EDT http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/600754 I've been playing softball since I got here in SoCal. But it has lost the challenge I crave so much. A big ball comes floating, slowly to the plate. Stevie Wonder would probably be able to hit it. I've grown bored of softball. I wanted a new challenge. I found it. I signed up for baseball, a sport I haven't played since I was a 160 lb weaklin...[Read Full Post] Mon, 04 Aug 2008 15:31:01 EDT http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/600239 Man I love the game of baseball. I'm a huge LA Dodgers fan and I do not dislike the LA Angels of Anaheim(I still don't get that one because they are in OC). The LA Dodgers were all in the news yesterday. We got Manny Ramirez. I can't wait to go to another game now and watch him hit. I love the game of baseball...did I already mention that?...[Read Full Post] Fri, 01 Aug 2008 12:43:59 EDT http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/599717 Today I did the travel thing again. I maneuvered through LAX with relative ease. I grabbed my LATimes(ignored the leftist bias) and put on my "Don't talk to me" face. Then a strange thing happened. I had my head down when a piece of bread slapped me on my bald head, coming to a stop on the floor in front of me. My first reaction was to turn a...[Read Full Post] Wed, 09 Jul 2008 22:32:49 EDT http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/595548 I organized my closet yesterday and it set off an avalanche of life changing glee. A simple little thing like giving clothes to homeless shelters that I don't wear anymore and organizing my clothes that I do wear just made me feel so much better. It just drowned me in relief and started on me on a life altering course. I started working out in th...[Read Full Post] Mon, 30 Jun 2008 21:38:01 EDT http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/593948 My Salvadorian girlfriend brought a naughty video home last night. It caught my attention and flooded me with excitement because the cover was loaded with nude women. But something odd also caught my eye- a bull with a vaquero riding him, his body barely holding on. I did a double-take. "What the hell is this?" I ask with a little trepidation. &...[Read Full Post] Wed, 18 Jun 2008 13:26:04 EDT http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/591751 I've always felt like I was Supermanish. I have been able to run like a deer, lift extremely heavy weights, play any sport that I wanted and even help an old lady cross the street. Well now age is catching up to me. Everytime I play softball or workout it seems a new injury whispers in my ear. Last weekend, I was playing softball on a Sunday morning....[Read Full Post] Sat, 07 Jun 2008 12:14:03 EDT http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/589528
