Hi.Well, I am still facing a lawsuit for big money. I am a nursing student. I need to work. Oh, and over a few months, I have managed to piss off some guys who have either threatened my directly or indirectly.Since I pretty much hold nothing back on here, that is bound to bite me in a legal, academic, professional, or health (if any of those guys carry out their threats) sense. I don't want to pull out of my public blog, but I feel I have to, now.So what I am going to do is move to a pass... Read Full Story

"Mr. Scott, do you have a wife?" five year old Enrique asked from the tiny table where he had just created a work of art."No, I don't," I replied."Oh. Then, do you have any kids?" he asked."No, I don't have any kids, but I might get some kids if I find a wife," I told him."Okay. Then you can have this picture I drew," he said as he folded up the paper and handed it to me.I put the art in a front pocket of my daycare apron and said, &q... Read Full Story

I went to my stomping grounds (where I guzzle tea or coffee, study, read, and chop it up with other would-be English majors) yesterday. I knew there was a musician scheduled to play at 7, but I showed up like 4 hours early. I got a pot of Rishi Peach Blossom White Tea. Well, I haven't tried all the Rishi teas that Synergy sells yet, but of the 20 or so I have tried, this one is by far the best. The peach flavor is strong mixed with the delicate tea. It isn't sweet by itself, so 1 pack... Read Full Story

Dad is going on almost a month long trip. He's going to tow his motorcycle behind the Jeep and drive East. During the trip he will go to several motorcycle rallies, see a concert or two, and spend a little time in Maine with family. Ahhh... retirement. I wonder how many thousands of dollars he's going to spend in gas on this little trip!I suppose I could go with him, but I really don't like road trips all that much. Even though I love visiting Maine, and haven't been since I w... Read Full Story

So I got a quality durag from Wal-Mart. Now, feel free to point out that I am Caucasian and not African American. I don't care. If I want to rock a durag, then a durag I will rock! Now, the sad thing is that I have worn it for several hours and it is not very comfortable because it makes my head itch. But it certainly is warm for such a thin piece of cloth! Oh, and the sad thing is... looking at these pictures I can see I have "more Chins than a Chinese phone book" (quote a la ... Read Full Story

[Three lawyers are darting around their respective tables pulling out and organizing files, anticipating their defenses. The clients sit at their tables, bored. The court reporter is sitting in her seat, getting ready for the day's proceedings. The honorable judge is not due for 15 minutes or so. I pull out a Star Trek novel and begin to read.]Slimy Lawyer: (wearing a shit-eater's grin, speaking to my lawyer) Whoa! You've got a real smart client there! I've never seen anybody ...

EDIT: Baaa! I told Sam yesterday that I had a scene safety story that I was going to write up and it was going to be an awesome tale. But I was thinking about it, and wondering how I could embellish it, but then I realized it was a crappy story. Sheriff's deputies were at a trailer home for a domestic and the medic, EMT, and I burst into the Cletus's home who'd been smacking his girlfriend around and we took her to the 'spital and Cletus got a ride to jail. Well, after the cal... Read Full Story
