The Sleep got me today & got me good. Slept in after letting Otis out, was barely conscious for maybe hour, & then slept until three. Woke up, zombied through the gym, supper & a commune with the front yard. I feel anxious & ill at ease, afraid to make decisions or make any sort … Continue reading Wednesday, August 14th, 2019

I'm going to take it easy on the politics today. It's starting to wear me down. This is a young man's game, & I'm afraid I simply don't have enough rage to do it properly. That doesn't mean I won't do it, I just won't do it every day. I wonder if I've gone far … Continue reading Tuesday, August 13, 2019

I am very tired & not particularly in the mood for this today. The heat is fierce & getting worse. It'll stay in the 90s all week & might break 100 by the weekend. No relief in sight, either, just more foul heat & humidity. The Sleep is still on me, not quite as strong … Continue reading Monday, August 12, 2019

The Sleep is still on me today. I don't know why, I slept pretty good last night. Even went to sleep early (for me) around 11:30 p.m. But it's Sunday & Sunday's should be for lazy. It's blasted hot out, heavy with humidity. I wonder if we'll get some more rain this evening. I can't … Continue reading Sunday, August 11, 2019

The Sleep is on me today. I didn't rest well last night, & all day I've been sluggish & dragging. Didn't do much besides sleep today, actually. I'm a little tired & run down from the week, & sleeping was more disinterest in dealing with the rest of the world than anything else. Did get … Continue reading Satuday, August 10, 2019
NFL Owners Have Always Been Terrible. It’s Just That Now The President Is Worse. by Charles P. Pierce
Interesting little article by Charlie Pierce about the absolute bastardry of NFL owners in a world where the President of the United States is even worse.
BREAKING: Jeffery Epstein is dead
If you haven't seen this, here you go. For what it's worth, I'm not buying any conspiracy theories that Clinton or Trump had him whacked. I imagine this can be chalked up to simple incompetence on the jailers' part, maybe that "rich guy hari kari" gentlemen's agreement that'll pop up now & then when one of … Continue reading BREAKING: Jeffery Epstein is dead

A quick thunder shower just blew through & it's hot & humid outside. Otis in his cave because the ground's pretty wet & he can't go outside. I'm sitting here listening to the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band's seminal Uncle Charlie & His Dog Teddy. Specifically, "Mississippi Rain", which is about coming back to a small town … Continue reading Friday, August 9, 2019

The Sleep is upon me today. I used the infernal machine last night & slept fairly well, but I've got that dreary languor that I cannot place its cause. Same dragging feeling, same zombie mindset. Anyhow. Hey, remember that big round of arrests the ICE did yesterday at chicken plants across Mississippi? The one that … Continue reading Thursday, August 8, 2019
How I spent my summer.
Weird But True This what I've been up to lately. About three months ago, I decided to put down at least 500 words a day until something popped out. So far, nothing new. However, I've found myself drifting back to something I didn't want to get back into: dark political ruminations inspired by the writings … Continue reading How I spent my summer.
