Well said.

Customer: [turns off neon BEER sign in living room]
Police: Hey, open up, we know you turned off the beer sign!
Customer: Sure, so what? The electric company sent it over, but I pay for the electricity to power that thing and it was annoying.
Police: Sir, you cannot turn off the beer sign because then you might not buy beer.
Customer: I wasn't planning to buy beer.
Police: Doesn't matter. The beer company got an injunction against having their signs turned off. Turn it back on and leave it on.
Customer: That doesn't make sense! I shouldn't have to pay to power a sign I never wanted, this is crazy!
Police: This is France.

These kids have my thanks, as does North Korea. Sony hacked my computer with the XCP trojan they loaded on a music CD my daughter bought at the record store she worked at. So any time Sony is hacked, I cheer and hope the attackers do a lot of expensive damage.

Yes, over ten years ago and I'm still enraged over it. Someone should have gone to prison for that.

Fuck that evil God damned Sony and the ass it rode in on, the fucking bastards. DIE, SONY, DIE!!!

There's Mars, Ho! which I'm hopeful I'll publish soon.

Journal Journal: Crappy Holidays 5

Thanksgiving morning I was ready to pick up my daughter and visit our family a hundred miles south in St. Louis.

My keys weren't in my pocket. An hour later I gave up looking and called all concerned with the sad news; no Thanksgiving for me this year; I was stuck in my house.

I found them Saturday.

Comment Illness (Score 1) 26

There are lots of different mental illnesses. PTSD, depression, schitzophrenia, lots more and all are different. I suffered from "Adjustment disorder with depressed mood," fortunately for me that one is a temporary illness. Part of my therapy (which was better than anything the doctor suggested) was writing The Paxil Diaries.

Journal Journal: I'm dreaming of a secular Christmas 1

I'm dreaming of a secular Christmas
In these modern secular days
With a secular tree with secular lights
And a Santa in a secular sleigh

I'm dreaming of a secular Christmas
With lots of secular snow
With a secular wreath and some secular lights
And some secular mistletoe

No baby in a manger
No wise men at his bed
No thought of Jesus Christ at all
Just get him out of your head

Journal Journal: New Story

Sundays at noon an old friend has a blues show on a local college radio station, WQNA. Of course, since the blues and booze go so well together, Sunday is my "drink too much" day. So by eight I was too drunk to edit. I put the book down and picked up the notebook and started typing.
