Kick Him, Honey

Final resting place

Yeah, I’m a restless sonofabitch when it comes to the internet. But that’s the way it goes. Anyway, this is hopefully my last and bestest move. I want a spot I can expand as needed, update with fancy templates and features, and display a little pride in ownership. (When I get off my lazy ass and actually start tinkering with code, that is.)

So, anyway, from here on out, you can find me here.

Maybe we just need a different chicken

I’ve watched this twice this week. And I can’t seem to shut the fuck up about it.

Have fun.

Dry fire exercises

I tend to shoot low if I haven’t been to the range in a while, especially with my Glock. Given the price and scarcity of ammo these days, I think I’ll be doing more of these dryfiring exercises.

Especially this one, just ’cause it’s neat.

RIP JG Ballard

JG Ballard has died.

For those of you who don’t know him: “Why I Want to Fuck Ronald Reagan”.

The only poem I’ve ever heard read out loud that I liked

Ben — Fri, 17 Apr 2009 14:18:49 +0000

By Jeffrey DeShell, from the book In Heaven Everything Is Fine. Hope he doesn’t mind.

Richard Pryor caught on fire
I was trotting along and suddenly
it started raining
and you said it was motherfucking hailing
but motherfucking hailing hits you on the head
hard so it was really snowing and
raining and I was in such a hurry
to meet you but the traffic
was acting exactly like the sky
and suddenly I see a headline
RiCHARD PRYOR CAUGHT ON FIRE
there is no snow in Hollywood
there is no rain in California
I have been to lots of parties
and acted perfectly disgraceful
but I never actually caught on fire
oh Richard Pryor we love you chill out
