Four

His arms explode into rainbow paint flumes, splashing latex of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet up to the sky as the sun beats down on the red desert landscape, the spray splattering the landscape around him.  He tries to speak, but his swollen tongue sticks to the thick dry mucusy side of [...]

Three

The day is gray, sunlight doesn’t peer through the clouds, instead a haze settles over the main street.  Light fog.  Quiet.  The silence is overwhelming.  He reaches into the no longer glass filled door frame and turns the dead bolt.
Open.  Bell rings.
He walks up and down the narrow space between the aisle and the front [...]

Fighter of the Dayman

I’m not big on posting events, I’m more about somewhat vain and somewhat banal ranting, but my good friends Eric and Ben of To Be Eaten are going to rock the tacky out of Hot Topic in the Denver Pavillions on Saturday night.  If you want some good, old fashioned hardcore influenced metal, come on [...]

Love and Hate: the Folly of Youth

Before he donned spandex pants and asked if you thought he was sexy (and if you wanted to touch his body), Rod Stewert sang in a little band called “Faces” and uttered these immortal words: “I wish I knew what I know now, when I was younger”.  Dennis Lyxen once howled “hate breeds hate” in [...]

Physical Lust

Cycling is littered with the detritus of over a hundred years of innovation and tinkering.  Some things fall quickly by the way side only to be reinvented years later.  Whether it’s the hite-rite, a device that allowed you to raise or lower your seat automatically, to handle downhills or tech sections on a mountain bike, [...]

Clever Words

If there’s one show I bring up, ad nasuem, it would be This American Life.  Probably my favorite radio program ever: I still get excited when the new podcasts come up, even the reruns, despite having listened to the show since its inception.  The editing, the characters: it’s basically the show that launched David Sedaris.
Well, [...]

Ich Don’t Think So

If you watched the Ali G show, and kept up with Mr Cohen you probably watched both “In Da House” and Borat… I have to admit I liked both characters more before the movies.  After all, Borat was misunderstood by most “red blooded” types and led to endless anti-semetic jokes from the “bros”.  So I [...]

The Wolf Suit

When you get sent to your room for wearing your wolf costume and being “wolfish” what do you do?  Where do you go?
Well, like many fond and bitter sweet memories you can only stay in the land of wild things so long… heartwarming and sad at the same time, we’re all going to get to [...]

Motor City is Burning

Detroit is a city with issues: since it grew on the steam of the American automotive industry and that has cooled over the last fifty years, reaching it’s lowest point after years of downsizing and brands closing, Detroit is more filled with abandoned buildings and relics of times gone by than most American cities.  There [...]
