Bloggers are (mostly) awesome. You want to know one of the things I most adore about the blogging world? The validation I find for all the ways in which I suck. If I complain about some douche bag’s asshole-ish behavior, friends and fans come crawling out of the woodwork to comfort my wounded heart. If […]
Archives for January 2013
Triberr is a blog amplification platform, not a place for private clubs.
Apologies: A follow-up. You may recall I recently wrote about the lack of apologies we seem to be moving toward as a culture, and how this is severely hampering our likelihood of taking responsibility for mistakes. It would appear I’m not done with the topic. Last week a discussion began on the bulletin board of […]
What’s Up Wenzday 01/23/13 — Disappointment Edition!
What’s Up Wenzday Point #1: A Note of Clarification — We interrupt this weekly check-in to bring you some very irritating news! No. I’m not going to skip my weekly check-in just to bitch about some assholes being rude to me. That would be pretty childish. So never mind. But wait. I am […]

Who ISN’T looking forward to the 85th Academy Awards? The 85th Academy Awards (see nominees here) are set to air on Sunday, February 24, 2013, at which time the best films of 2012 will be honored. This is a pretty big deal in the world of Hollywood, as well as in The World 4 Realz. It’s […]
Goodbye Facebook Part 2
Last week I discussed my personal reasons for wishing I could say, “Goodbye Facebook” and in doing so uncovered a Hipster movement which equates leaving the big EFF-BEE with ordering a tall non-fat mocha latte. Or whatever those specialty diet coffee drinks from StarBucks are called. You know the ones I mean — they cost […]

No apology? I DEMAND an Apology, Damn It!
A half-assed apology is NOT better than no apology whatsoever. This post took a different direction that originally intended. I started out, as promised in my weekly check-in post, “What’s Up Wenzday: Passive-Aggressive Edition”, intent upon bringing to your attention how fucked up I find half-assed apologies to be. I planned to provide an […]
Martin Luther King, Jr. — his dream for blue kids
The nightly “cleaning o’ the backpack” ritual ensues. Pulling papers out of my 8-year-old daughter’s backpack, I say, “I see you learned about Martin Luther King, Jr., at school today.” “Yeah,” she agrees nonchalantly. “We did.” “So, what can you tell me about him?” I sign a form and tuck it into […]
What’s Up Wenzday 01/16/13 — Passive-Aggressive Edition!
What’s Up Wenzday Point #1: A Note of Clarification — I found out this week that someone on Triberr is apparently less than pleased with me as a tribemate. Which is funny since she and I aren’t actually tribemates. And since I only found out second-hand that there’s an issue, I’m not sure exactly what […]
Child of Farmer Rap
Child of Farmer Rap strikes again: BOOM-BOOM DIGGY-DIGGY BOOM-BOOM-BOOM BOOM-BOOM DIGGY-DIGGY BOOM-BOOM-BOOM This is what I hear going by the front of my house about once week. Some hotshot teenager who forgets this is a six-street village surrounded by cornfields. Some punk-ass who wants me to believe he is very, very serious about living […]
