The web is filled with pictures, posts, memories, stories, rants, propaganda and conspiracies about what happened five years ago today. There’s nothing I can add.
Not even my tears.
I was all cried out a long time ago.
I was born and raised in New York City.
All I have to offer you is my Love, a hug, and the promise that everything will be alright. It always works out.

There’s also a private party for me over at Problem Adults, and the ladies are eating the most interesting hors d’oeurves… talk about entertainment!!!!
You know what? I’m feeling the love. I’m the luckiest guy on the planet. 
So if I haven’t told you lately…
Thanks for making my birthday awesome!
Luv,

Usually on this day, I can look all over the web and someone, somewhere is reshaping Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. into a supporter of their cause. You name it. He’s for/against the Iraq War, he’s suddenly a vegan and a card-carrying member of PETA, he’d join the fight for gay marriage.
Frankly, I doubt the last one. As a man of the cloth, I’d imagine his view of homosexuality would be very much the same as any religious figure… I *DO* see the parallels, and this is a matter of Civil Rights and equality… and even in his own words “Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere” ring true in this case.

You know I never believed in love at first sightAnd with a paper crown, you blew out your first candle
Such a lovely girl so different from the rest
And on that day I prayed you would always stay
My little princess…
I wrote that song when you were six months old, Erika. It was a rough and scary time for all of us as things were touch & go with you. A dumbass babysitter decided to give you a bath and left you in a room with a window open as your mom and I went out for dinner on a cold February night. We spent Valentine’s day in Schneider’s Children’s Hospital, after your tiny little heart and lungs were failing on you from pneumonia. MORE: Read the rest of this entry »
I was quite taken back with Reverend Mykeru’s writeup on Pope John Paul II’s passing.
I’ve been mainly of the Protestant brand of Christianity, so the Pope always represented the “wrong” kind of Christianity, though I never took a hatred to Catholicism like Jack Chick did.
Actually, I really liked this Pope. Sure he was “a funny little guy with the beanie” and the butt of a lot of my jokes sometimes, but all in all he was a good man who had the task of holding together a dying and archaic institution, wracked with scandals and falling apart at the seams.

One of my comedic heroes, Rodney Dangerfield has passed away.
Some of his great one-liners have been collected here.
Rather than have my typical fits of rage at moments like this, exclaiming “It should have been YOU!!!”, I choose to remember the good times and all the laughs this time. I’m gonna rent Back to School, and raise a glass of coke in his honor.
I still think it should have been you, though.
It’s really sad that this had to fall on our 12th wedding anniversary…
I remember back in 1986, downtown Manhattan was closed down for the President’s motorcade. I was there.
As Reagan’s motorcade drove by, I saluted him.
He looked right at me, smiling, and saluted back.
To echo Sammy Hagar’s quote FROM that same year: “He’s the coolest motherfucker we’ve had in the White House in years!”
Rest in peace Mr. President.
I’ll never forget that day in 1986. Ever.
I’ll address the Reagan family’s open criticism of President Bush over his stem cell research ban some other time. Both President Bushes combined couldn’t hold a candle to Ronald Reagan.
Another one of those no-comment posty-thingys….
That’s so you can head on over and wish the Anti-Social Bitch a HAPPY BIRTHDAY.
Or…Send her an E-Card (I couldn’t make that any easier unless I sent the damn card out FOR you.)
50 greetings or more and Ms. ASB has promised to send me pics of herself in her birthday suit! Of course I’m not supposed to pass them around…
… but you’d think some people should know me better by now. :0)
A couple of phrases have always stood out in my mind. Those one-liners that people can write an entire book based on it.
One of those lines was one that I heard a pastor say:
“Try and give someone flowers while they can still smell them“.
