Monty's Pink Slip ParadeA forum for gay-friendly black athletes(Untitled)- February 25, 2004 Nooks and Crannies, Crooks and Nannies Note: The above title has nothing to do with the below content. So, it's Wednesday. Dig, man. We all know what Wednesday means: The laundromat downstairs is closed. is on tonight. In its final season (symbol of a sad face) "Law & Order" is on. This doesn't mean as much as it used to, now that we have cable and "Law & Order" is on constantly. Some time around noon, my cellphone will ring. Vibrate, actually. I.http://blogs.salon.com/0002866/2004/02/25.html#a68 (Untitled)- February 19, 2004 Dreams and Garbage, Garbage and Dreams or Supreme Court Salad I'll be calling myself Raymond today, which is my name, because I'm not feeling very Monty. One function of the dreams we dream at night is for our brains to take out the trash, as twer. All the excess bits of dismantled ideas, emotional shrapnel, unread flyers advertising anxieties we've already seen. That's one reason why when we don't sleep enough, we get stupid. It's no surprise that speed freaks ramble on about.http://blogs.salon.com/0002866/2004/02/19.html#a67 (Untitled)- February 17, 2004 The Complete Stigmata of Gayness "Part of it is the label...being successful, being single, being the quarterback of the San Francisco 49ers, speaking properly, having a sense of style. A combination of those things gets you categorized as being gay." That's what 49ers QB Jeff Garcia had to say regarding rumors of his gayness. I had to copy it because it really sums up a lot of the basic criteria upon which people might guess whether or not someone is gay (there's always asking, or not...http://blogs.salon.com/0002866/2004/02/17.html#a66 (Untitled)- February 13, 2004 Hey! I have not been blogging, it's true, Radio Userland continues to deny my existence when I attempt to log on from home. I am actually impressed by their outright refusal to even respond to my queries; if they were to read my blog, though, they would see that I am not afraid to play hardball. The exciting update to last week's shenanigans is this: It is possible to get a raise after you've been laid off. The email I sent to our COO has proven to be the most valuable piece of writing I..http://blogs.salon.com/0002866/2004/02/13.html#a65 (Untitled)- February 6, 2004 Smashing Morning! To you! Sirs! And Madameses! I realized it had been a mighty long time since I had blogged in the morning time, and now, mere moments after the crack o' dawn as 'twere - specifically it is 10:49 AM - I thought I would write to share with all four of you MILLIONS of Montinoes and Montettes what a positively smashing morning it has been so far! Rather than simply proclaiming all day (which I've been know to do) I shall instead make a list (yet another of..http://blogs.salon.com/0002866/2004/02/06.html#a64 (Untitled)- February 3, 2004 Oh my God! I just realized I made out with Britney Spears! And Madonna! And Cristina! See, I was thinking about an old friend of mine, a girl, a painter, now a professor, who I used to work with at this shitty restaurant a few years ago (same place I met Rosie). We'll call this girl "Lulu." Now, at this very same shithole restaurant, employed as a lowly food runner while he studied at the Actors Palyhouse, was KIWI-TURNED-HOLLYWOOD HUNK SUPERSTAR MARTIN...http://blogs.salon.com/0002866/2004/02/03.html#a63 (Untitled)- February 3, 2004 The End is Here Thank goodness. The wait is over. So is the job. One month's notice, a decent severance package.... Mind you I am still in extraordinary debt so I can't exactly take this package and fly around the world with it. Also, I have no fucking idea how I'm going to make money. But at least the wait is over. So when the overweight waiter refills your water, say Hurrah!, the wait is over! And the waiter is overweight! And that waiter is me,.http://blogs.salon.com/0002866/2004/02/03.html#a62 |
