    I heard it’s graduation everywhere. It’s oblivious to me since I am neither schooling nor am I parent to a school kid. It must be swell to have several weeks of vacation. I miss it. We all do. And so, our everyday life continues. Here’s The Happy Mondays by The Innocence Mission: The happy Mondays,…

    The most terrifying fact about the universe is not that it is hostile but that it is indifferent. Stanley Kubrick Playboy: If life is so purposeless, do you feel that it’s worth living? Kubrick: Yes, for those of us who manage somehow to cope with our mortality. The very meaninglessness of life forces man to…

    Who doesn’t have one? I come home from work being greeted by a dog who magically appears from the dark; a dog whose bark was a little hoarse months before like a prepubescent pimply high school kid; a spitz I’d like to cuddle but really, it would gnarl and bite my arm without those metal…

    This was my second time to vote for this country’s president. In 2004, I placed my bet on GMA because she was cute. I was watching TV before the election day. Not excited to vote at all. Why would I be? At first I was caught between Noy!Noy! and Gibo then between Gibo and Gordon;…
