I gutted the chapter because it was downright hideous. What the Hell was I thinking? That I could turn this macabre piece of bird shit into something that was a joy to read? I felt insane. Defeated. I might as well jerk off and go to bed but I was a fighter because God never […]
I open one eye the other has fallen behind. In fact, it may not get up today at all and I would be forced to wear a patch or explain why it is that I look like I’m having a continuous stroke: “Oh my eye? No, it’s not lazy or reluctant. It’s dead. That’s okay. […]
It’s the dead of winter and there is a big fat fly marauding around my garage coming closer and closer to my head as it sweeps out trying to get the most of the situation and I sit here writing this to Stevie Wonder with a used blunt in the ashtray sipping on a glass […]
Vickers was a fire-breathing ginger capable of mass-destruction even in the unlikeliest of places and therefore had to be kept under constant supervision lest he destroy your peace of mind, soul and your five-year relationship while going to the fridge to get a beer.

We went to an outdoor concert. Big venue. It was me, my buddy, our girlfriends years into relationships that were turning bitter. We both had just gotten over some big fights but there was tension still lingering and lurking all over the place behind words, gestures, looks, swipes at character made here and there. As […]
I fell in love with my first cousin. Yeah, I know. But I’m not ashamed of it. You should have met her then you might understand. My last night in Buenos Aires we got drunk and I put my hand on her knee. That was it. I realized what I was doing and removed it […]
