There's a guy I like on Twitter whose name is Rivelino. He's a controversial figure. A lot of people I like love him. A lot of people I like hate him. Which is great. My friend D and I always said the following about art. If someone sees your art…
In sixth grade, I lived in an entirely different world. My junior high had a tradition where the sixth graders would play tackle football against the eighth graders. The PE coaches will all be there. For their amusement. As a sixth grader, the eighth graders were all eight feet tall…
Mom enrolled me in piano lessons and I was terrible. Absolutely awful. I picked it up at a snail's pace and read notes like I was stupid. You know why? I wanted to play football (American). My heart was on going outside. Every chance I got. I compiled football stats.…
"We have to do it after midnight. She doesn't come out before then." "What's going to happen?" "She either tells you the future, you just see her eyes, or she gets really mad at you for summoning her and she scratches your face." My girl cousins discussed who would be…
I don't get caught up in politics. The absolute last thing I want to be remembered for is who I voted for. That's a private matter. Yes, I vote. You're supposed to. But that's as far as I get. I only tell people that I trust who I voted for.…

You can judge folks by the words they use. My main model before Allie and Roxy said "I can't" a lot. I mean, all the time. It was like her catch phrase. No coincidence she never got good at anything. You'll also meet folks who don't let the little stuff…
After Mom died, I went into a funk. I drank way too much and started eating poorly. I don't remember exactly when but I remember the year it happened. One day, I had my shirt off and saw myself in the mirror. It's not that I didn't like what I…
The feminist who hated my wife used to be a total babe. I know this because she showed me the pics. She had a wonderful lifestyle. Was married to a rich guy. Traveled the world. Then something happened and they got divorced. Of course, I've only heard her side of…
