A cop pulled me over this afternoon as I was on my way to the record store. He asked me if I had any idea why he had pulled me over.

"Was I going a little too fast?" I responded, nervously.

"No. Actually, I saw your blue inspection sticker, and thought it looked a little strange. Its the first one I've seen this year."

Looking back on 2004, it was a pretty stupid year.
Let's start with the latest news. With over 58,000 people killed in a Tsunami, my local paper made sure that readers skimming the front page knew that 2003 Sports Illustrated swimsuit cover girl Petra Nemacova survived the disaster. Way to put a sexy face on human suffering, Sun Journal!
Stupid.

The presidential election? It was...

I live a block away from one of Lewiston's housing projects. Its not necesarily the worst neighborhood in the city, in fact there are some fairly nice apartments in there, but its populated with enough shitheads that when the cops come to check out the damage inflicted to the house every few months, they kind of shrug and say "Well, you do live near the...

Ugh. I had a long entry about Fridays resolution to my paycheck problems. Suffice to say that the liberal organization for which I used to work proved itself to be a grotesque stereotype of the party by sitting on their ass and ignoring a problem that could have easily been solved if on Nov. 3rd, someone had called me or my manager and asked what...

Thanks for the compliments on the tattoo, folks. Its healed quite nicely with no loss of color. The only scab fell off today, without any apparent damage to the ink.

I'm pissed at my former employers, as my last paycheck is more than a month overdue now. I was told that the check was cut wednesday and was in the mail, but its been a...

I'm The Peter Venkman of This Operation, Bitches.
I've graduated from college, but in order to get my degree, I still have to complete an internship. With that in mind, I went into the school yesterday to speak to the woman in charge of the internship program. As usually seems to be the case with her, she wasn't there. However, as I was stepping out...
