One thing that bugs me is when people bust out the pop psychology and/or Freudian terms in casual conversation with little or no understanding. For example, on the MARTA today:
“Subconsciously, I know I need to work harder on (blah blah).”

Just now, in front of my house: a high speed chase zoomed by. A single car, which I heard gunning down the street, squeeled around the corner on which our house sits and, from what I could tell, came very near losing control. Quickly thereafter, two police cruisers, also travelling at a high [...]

I want to fly to Manchester, England. I want to walk the soggy Salford streets or whatever else I could do to feel authentic. Tripping over cobblestones under a wet newspaper sky, trying to absorb whatever daylight there is, I’ll blow breath clouds out before me and look sideways at people. I [...]

You can call it Monday morning quarterbacking if you want. You weren’t there,
and I didn’t say much at the time. People claim now that they were yelling at
televisions, in droves, probably something like “Get him outta there; can’t you
see he’s done”.
You can take the high road. I finally have [...]

Something tells me that Greeks, French, and British (just to name a few) might object to this assessment of the Jews:
“We are up against a people who think. They survived 2000 years of pogroms not by hitting back but by thinking. They invented Socialism, Communism, human rights and democracy so that persecuting them would appear [...]

On the news (ATL channel 11) this morning:
A human heart was found on the downtown connector this morning by members of a construction crew.
No comment. No details. I’ve already made up one hundred stories about it, 99 of them very creepy. You should too.

Just as I could see the writing on the wall regarding the “outsourcing” business of a couple years ago, I can read the Djarling tea leaves and see that corporate I.T. is going to move to India and other “best shores” over the next ten years. I actually worked on a project to assist [...]

You’ve got a lot of nerve
to say that to me
and even if it were true
don’t you think
she’d spill the beans
eventually
Scraping poor man’s
