Dark Side of the George

A dusty godforsaken path, endless to my dismay... I know these are the badlands... somehow I'll find

About Me

There is not much to know about me. I rock. Sometimes I roll. I always fight control at least in my heart if not in my daily routines. I am a slave to the grind who realizes just how much the grind erodes my freedom. But I am lazy so I never do much about it. Oh well. I'm American.

My Interests

Either way you look at it, this photo says something bad about America...

Music and movies, drive-in theaters, flea markets, comics, some good books, good food, the silence and the moments between, justice and injustice, politricks, the Internets. And yes I still watch cartoons.

I'd like to meet:

Kory Clarke and all his fans, Dean Koontz, Tim Powers, Jim Cushinery, Marty Ross, Bobby Tews, Anthony Hickox, Mike Judge, Stan Lee, Guillermo del Toro, Emo Philips, Elvira and Randy Hickey.

Check out Cush's podcast for an entertaining
half hour show where topics range from NSA
wiretapping and the concept of the anti-anti-
guy to Ritchie Sambora and advice on
the seven year itch. Oh, and of course
Cush's affair with the hot dog girl
and one reason Denis Leary is an asshole.

First, let me say this blog is in no way meant to defend the men of the Yearning for Zion Ranch. Personally I believe they use their "religion" to practise their pedophilia which makes them pretty muc...

Good news for Michael Vicks former dogs!
