IT’S FUCKING SNOWING IN NOLA!
We’re Humped.
This was a phrase I uttered numerous times tonight, usually after a big fat guy vomited all over me. This would, of course, get him shot. I spent some quality time as Orangelo™ ( as Louis, the black guy ) with Squillis™ ( as Zoey, the chick ) and PCounts™ ( as Bill, the old… Continue reading We’re Humped.
I’ve got to admit it’s getting better
Well, things are a bit up and maybe down today, despite my mild hangover. For the definite up, my pay cut will be $5k, not $10k. Definitely makes me feel a bit better. I was feeling better about the $10k the other day, as new work with new clients was developing. I am very excited… Continue reading I’ve got to admit it’s getting better
In other words, I’m a racist.
This past Saturday found myself and ~240 other people running, biking, and canoeing all through our great city. Well, not all through – the closest we got to uptown was Lucy’s Retired Surfers Bar, but close enough. It was the final of a 7 race series called “Racing to N’Awlins”, put on by Gulf Coast… Continue reading In other words, I’m a racist.
Hard Times for a Sonofabitch
Bea and I sat down and did rough math on monthly income/expenses. We hadn’t done this yet, and considering that my pay cut takes effect in January, it was time. ’09 will be interesting. And that’s not just for us – it seems to be a general consensus amongst those I talk to it about.… Continue reading Hard Times for a Sonofabitch
… And Cancel Christmas!
Right now, there are two guys installing $6k in parts and labor to replace the furnace and condenser for the a/c for the kitchen, den, and backroom. My 401(k), like many others, has seen better days. Due partly to Katrina and the maritime insurance industry being as cyclical as it is, we’ve hit hard times… Continue reading … And Cancel Christmas!
150 Miles, 1 Gear.
October 4th and 5th was the Louisiana MS 150 – a thousand-rider-strong bike ride for Multiple Sclerosis. Every cyclist raised at least $250, and many raised much more than that. Prologue (up to Friday): We (Bea and I) didn’t actually do a whole lot of training. Unless injured, I ride every day – and yes,… Continue reading 150 Miles, 1 Gear.
Broken Racket MS150 Fundraiser at Mahony’s

Why are you wearing that stupid man suit?
There is a movie currently in production entitled ‘S. Darko‘. We shall see.
So I dub Thee ‘Forgiven’
Well, I have listened to the new Metallica album: Death Magnetic. And it is good (or at least a gargantuan improvement). It would appear that they have made a complete 180° from The Thing That Should Not Be (aka St. Anger). My friend Paul had this to say though and I must admit I agree:… Continue reading So I dub Thee ‘Forgiven’
