September 14, 2012 I don’t know if it’s because I recently declared myself an honorary Californian (much like I was declared an honorary Jew in my formative years); or, because I’ve been surfing a lot and just don’t care too much about anything besides having a good wave theez daze – but I realized that […]

September 4, 2012 My working definition of greed is: the wanton acquisition of material goods. First off – I am only exploring male greed in this “attempt,” and, will count on my female readers (and writers) to write companion pieces (or alternate viewpoints) – since my memories of being female in former lives are rather

August 23, 2012 Yes, this piece is entitled by a date – the date I officially retired from 33-years of full-time teaching (though I am only semi-retired; as I carry on teaching part-time at Cal State University Northridge)… Today, Thursday, August 30, 2012 is the first day that I was able to experience the sensation
August 13, 2012 Many-years-ago, my legendary former supervisor, Dr. Carlfred Broderick, told me that the average height of a male, American college professor was 6’2” – as people had it in their heads that tall white men were innately smarter than anyone else. As my readers know – all 5’8” of me has longed to

August 6, 2012 Would I like to become a member of Arnold’s proposed think tank? Of course I would! Think tanks are almost as fun (if not more fun) as indulging in the playground that is Hollyweird. I’m hoping that the topics of Arnold’s think tank would be comprised of ogling large breasts; having hot

August 5, 2012 I’ve been living in California for-28-years-now, and, have never had the occasion to visit California’s wine country. Sure, I’ve tasted wines in a number of locales, and, I even road tested “Resurrection: The Road Back” in the Bedstemmor’s wine cellar – but, I’ve never done the Napa Strip in-all-the-time I’ve worked towards
July 25, 2012 I gather that men of means have been buggering young (and older) boys for millennia. I have no clue of the origin point, but one pedophile (whom I almost throttled the life out of – and subsequently had to remove myself from the therapy session) suggested that buggering a youth was the

Dedicated to Jon Lord July 18, 2012 I felt very strange for the whole of July 17th – so strange, that I believed I would hit the lotto: my regular readers need not worry – after writing “Dream Killer” – I haven’t been able to even fantasize what I’d do with lotto winnings. But I
…Or, Reflections in a Wilderness of Projection July 7, 2012 You are what you eat, eat well. You are what you wear, wear well. After 20 years with juvenile delinquents, the throwaways of Americana – I tend to see the worst in everyone – because that’s what I’ve seen every day for the past…well, the

July 1, 2012 I just bought a new VW Routan from the local VW dealer, Livingston Volkswagen – this after wanting a used Eurovan (but being afraid of dealing with 2 used cars again [my son’s and mine]) – particularly as I am currently experiencing semi retirement and cognizant that the money won’t be coming
