Well, my disability claim has been remanded on appeal for the third time, which means I’ll have a fourth hearing sometime between now and this time next year. Just FYI, when I began this journey, my mother was still alive, so was my girlfriend. I’ve had two serious relationships end, lost most of my furbabiesContinue reading “Here It Goes Again…And Again”

‘Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die’ Crumbles Under Its Own Pretentiousness
For a movie that is a two-hour criticism of artificial intelligence and internet technology, Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die feels like the script was written by AI as it’s a compilation of Groundhog Day, Black Mirror, Terry Gilliam’s Brazil and Twelve Monkeys and The Terminator franchise. With a budget of $20 million, it’s directedContinue reading “‘Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die’ Crumbles Under Its Own Pretentiousness”
Health Update – Some Good News, Some Not So Good
I received some good news and bad news in the last week. First the bad. My orthopedic physicians say my X-rays show the arthritis in my lower back is getting worse. But I don’t need surgery. On the other hand, other parts of my inner body are good. My hemoglobin levels are down which isContinue reading “Health Update – Some Good News, Some Not So Good”
Mitch McConnell Speaks To Members Of The Republican Party
Red Card Reversal Leaves An Orange Stain On World Cup Match
In his 1974 novel Dead Solid Perfect, Dan Jenkins wrote the line “Anything you can’t fuck up, you’ll shit on.” I’m sure he couldn’t anticipate the rise of Trumpism, but that applies to the current President. I feel the Red Card against Folarin Balogun was bullshit. But it happens. Bad calls are always made byContinue reading “Red Card Reversal Leaves An Orange Stain On World Cup Match”

“A Republic If You Can Keep It”
It’s America’s 250th birthday today. And like a lot of thriving things, it needs care. But we never know how much for how long. We just have to keep a watch on it. When it rains, you don’t need to water your outside plants. When it’s dry, you need to help them with water. DuringContinue reading ““A Republic If You Can Keep It””
‘Idiocracy’ Is Only A Horror Movie If You Make It One
When Idiocracy was released 20 years ago, it was to fulfill a contractual obligation between 20th Century Fox and Mike Judge.The movie bombed because the studio tried to bury it in as few as many theaters as possible with no press or marketing. But its notorious release helped word of mouth to spread as socialContinue reading “‘Idiocracy’ Is Only A Horror Movie If You Make It One”
USA All The Way
I was never a big fan of the World Cup or soccer in general. But the World Cup fever that has invaded America has brought some light during the darker times. Watching last night’s match between USA and Bosnia/Herzegovina was made more exciting by the Spanish-speaking commentators. And let’s face that was a bullshit callContinue reading “USA All The Way”
‘They Will Kill You’ Will Bore You With Its Overkill Execution
The problem with They Will Kill You is that it reveals its twist early and there’s no build-up so the execution is overkill, literally. Made like a cross between Ready or Not and Kill Bill, Zazie Beets plays Asia Reaves, who was convicted of killing her abusive father, but has been released and takes aContinue reading “‘They Will Kill You’ Will Bore You With Its Overkill Execution”
