Reasons why I am head over heels in love with her, 16- April 26, 2008 Tis' better to trip than fallShe says she can dress me up and take me out.A night on the town for MBS and I, at her suggestion, a date night that we take some R&R; going to see celtic guitarist Jerry Barlow perform, have a little dinner, and a nightcap. Stuck here at the agency. A group earlier and now just doing the drug-testing thing. Ugh.I should be using this downtime to crank out some quick articles for my newspaper (my editor wants them in first thing Monday for a supplement which is, in..http://fatherknowsnothing.blogspot.com/2008/04/reasons-why-i-am-head-over-heels-in_26.html A two-fisted drinker in a two-job economy- April 25, 2008 Dammit, I need a bottle...To clarify a bit of Wednesday's post (which I didn't get around to posting until today - oddly playing with the timeline...), I in fact continue to work in the mental health field. Yes, I'm working two jobs. Writing for a small town paper, covering town politics and business is where my heart is at, obviously. But as I said in that post, it's not yet a full-time gig and working as a lowly stringer doesn't feed the bulldog (or anyone else, for that matter). Whatever...http://fatherknowsnothing.blogspot.com/2008/04/two-fisted-drinker-in-two-job-economy.html Reasons why I am head over heels in love with her, 239- April 24, 2008 She buys me energy drinks, even though she's totally opposed to them (she's such a health nut). And, she rarely gives me shit about drinking them.With that, here's some Sony Rollins to smooth out your day:http://fatherknowsnothing.blogspot.com/2008/04/reasons-why-i-am-head-over-heels-in.html Until you've walked a mile in my shoes, you won't know how my feet smell- April 23, 2008 If I had a world of my own, everything would be nonsense. Nothing would be what it is, because everything would be what it isn't. And contrary wise, what is, it wouldn't be. And what it wouldn't be, it would. You seeAh, the glory of being a city-desk reporter. Or editor. Or something. Hell, I'm just a stringer. And it's not so much a "city-desk" as a "small town-desk".I mean, the town is small, not the desk. There isn't even a desk, really, just a cell phone that my editor calls on to tell me...http://fatherknowsnothing.blogspot.com/2008/04/until-youve-walked-mile-in-my-shoes-you.htm... My write-in vote for precedent- April 23, 2008 We're all Bozos on this busDeadline's tomorrow and although I've cranked out 5 lengthy articles for this next edition (we won't mention the quality, mmm-kay), I still have some writing to do.So, hopefully, after the deadline has past, you'll get another dollop of my meandering drivel.If you take the dollop I've given you and throw it at HRC, I'll give you five bucks. Scout's honor.http://fatherknowsnothing.blogspot.com/2008/04/my-write-in-vote-for-precedent.html Hey, get a clue- April 22, 2008 My son has REALLY had it with you people...Small town news has me preoccupied, yo...http://fatherknowsnothing.blogspot.com/2008/04/hey-get-clue.html Nothing to see here, move along....- April 22, 2008 With, oh, 6 or so articles needing to go live by Wednesday and very little to show that they're even close to being finished, posting will be light for the next 36 hours or so. As if if you're surprised.And while you're wondering whatever happened to me, I wonder what happened to these guys - gals - um, penguines or something.http://fatherknowsnothing.blogspot.com/2008/04/nothing-to-see-here-move-along.html Confession time, episode 337- April 21, 2008 ...and my life has never been the same.So now you know... there's a reason why blog posts have been scant the past few months.http://fatherknowsnothing.blogspot.com/2008/04/confession-time-episode-337.html Falling in love again, never wanted to; what am I to do Can't help it...- April 21, 2008 Be good and you will be lonelyNot going to linger here, much, but only to say I am enamored... and humbled.I've been enthralled by the meandering and brilliant short stories of Alice Munro this past week, kind of feeling like I should get back to bed and start my entire life over. When I regard someone writing circles around me, well, I am thrilled and a little bit shamed.I wish I had more to say but I have 5 articles to complete this week and this here is a break from my writing and reading....http://fatherknowsnothing.blogspot.com/2008/04/failing-in-love-again-never-wanted-to.html It's not so much all the blood and such but the screaming - that's what gets to you, eventually- April 20, 2008 If you define cowardice as running away at the first sign of danger, screaming and tripping and begging for mercy, then yes, Mr. Brave man, I guess I'm a coward.My eldest stepdaughter, R, officially entered into that phase of life that we all dread to deal with as outsiders, yet endured ourselves with such relish (and spastic angst). This has been an auspicious year for R. Aside from turning 13 today, the remodel of this house to accomodate my brood included adding a room downstairs,...http://fatherknowsnothing.blogspot.com/2008/04/its-not-so-much-all-blood-and-such-but.html |
