About Me

Meet our editor/publisher, Vince.Vince is also a big fan of both humor and Fiction and he reads and writes a fair amount of both (more reading than writing). He is always happy to talk about buses, coaches, and the like.In addition to 30 years behind the wheel at the Chicago Transit Authority and more recently, Greyhound Lines, Inc., Vince has published a substantial number of pieces of fiction and non-fiction, the majority of them being humorous articles to various bus industry publications in the U.S. and in Europe. Several of his articles and observations have been discussed on NPR and most recently, Vince is hosting freeform music shows on KUNM in Albuqreque and KKJZ in Long Beach. Vince is currently scouting potential models for the upcoming BUS BARN "Swimsuit Edition."Encouraged by his ravishing beautiful wife, a former psyche nurse herself ("Go back to work, you bum!") he borrowed a necktie from a neighbor and asked "the man" for a business loan. The man betrayed him and gave him one. Naturally, he became a howling success, and as anyone who knows the glamorous magazine business can well imagine, it now takes four stalwart men to help him tote his salary home each week.

UPDATE!!
I work at a CORRECTIONAL FACILITY (read: JAIL). I don’t want to get fired, so I won’t say which one. Not that it matters -- they’re all the same. When I’m not restraining inmates, getting yelled at by my warden or being defecated on by the general population, I like to unwind with MySpace. Maybe take in a movie, waste time on the Internet ... you know, regular stuff. I don’t really have any concrete “plans” or “goals” per se, but I sure know what I don’t want to do for the rest of my life. Working in corrections sucks. If only I could make a career out of hating on my stupid job. Then, I’d be all set. I've had thoughts of making a cartoon about it. I've made notes and prelimiary drawings, and it’s hilarious. It’s so true that it’ll make you laugh and cry at the same time. Oh well, maybe if this comic thing takes off I can sell some t-shirts or coffee mugs or something.
When you dream big, there’s no telling where your hate can take you.
