One Year

February 26, 2010

It’s been almost an entire year, almost to the hour as I write this, since Galadriel passed away. Six months ago, I tried to write about how I felt at that point, and utterly failed. But in many ways, that posting wasn’t an utter failure, because everything that I wrote in it was true. I [...]

Corrupt Idiots

August 19, 2005

A few weeks ago, I wrote a post called “Oh WTF.. you deserve what you get..”, now that some time has passed I can tell the story. My father is probably the most honorable man that I have ever known. One of the middle children of his parents, he grew up in a small town [...]

Oh WTF.. you deserve what you get

August 1, 2005

Yeah, i gotta be cryptic here, because it’s not over yet. But why in the world would you elect a corrupt f’ing thief like that to represent your men. Unbelievable. More to come after tomorrow’s drama is over. Argh.
