"American Holiday"
This morning.4:49AM. “Can you drive me home” “Where do you live?” “46th and East Lake.” “Nope.” (Enter: Middle finger.) “Too much to risk. BUT if you were any other coke-fiend from a party, you’d totally get a ride.” “I’d give you a ride home.” “But we wouldn’t survive.” Happy Valentine’s Day.
I don’t have a New Year’s resolution. I have “New Year’s solutions.” Why make a “resolution” when you can make a “solution?” RESOLUTION: a decision to do something or to behave in a certain manner SOLUTION: the act or process of solving a problem “Solutions” are great for two reasons: 1) you identify a problem [...]
Today is Thanksgiving and it means a little something different to everyone. While many of us have made our own internal lists about the people and things we’re thankful to have bless our lives on a daily basis, for some reason I started thinking about someone tonight and realized how thankful I am for him. [...]
It was Election Day in the United States on Tuesday. My neighbor came over and asked if I wanted to go vote. I said I didn’t. He was going to vote alone, but needed me to vouch for him because his address wasn’t current, he wasn’t registered in this district and he couldn’t find any [...]
Can you… operate a freight elevator? wear a Grim Reaper costume? be paid in beer? do all of the above at my studio on Halloween? These are the questions you have to ask yourself. If so, please email me and I’ll get you more information. Thank you! walkonred
I have a ton of things I want to mention about the past four days, unfortunately, I’m not sure where to start. Chronologically makes most sense… THURSDAYAfter a less-than-pleasing rehearsal for Freedom: Some Restrictions Apply, I ran errands gathering supplies for my impromptu front-yard Fourth of July barbecue. Around 11PM, I scooted to St. Paul [...]
I hate the Mall Of America. Hate. As in: It needs to die. Valentine’s Day is tomorrow. I’m not typically a huge gift-giver for fake holidays, but I know that Katherine has a little something in mind, so I thought not to be outdone, I need to get her a gift as well… I planned [...]
Arriving home after dinner at Galactic Pizza with Katherine, I was quickly reminded of one of my resolutions for 2008… Saturday evening one of my “fun” neighbors barfed all the way up the 30-foot walkway to the east entrance and then inside at the base of the stairs. They chose to leave this fun discovery [...]
Despite my objections to the holidays, I had a great Christmas. Gifts aside, spending time with my brother and parents was perfect. For the first time in a number of years, I had the ability to wake up at my parent’s home and start Christmas day with them. I didn’t have to commute for over [...]
Today I need to go X-max shopping. There’s one problem though; I don’t want to. I’m naked on the couch watching it snow. It’s snowing a lot. A whole lot. My plan was to leave the house before most people would be out of church, but now it’s nearly four o’clock. I don’t want to [...]
I refer to Christmas as X-Max. “Spend to the X-max…!” I feel kinda jaded about X-max. Growing up, my parents were great. They treated me like every great parent treats their first-born. When I was younger, Christmas was a big deal. Now, it’s a whole different animal. I’m not waking up at 6AM to see [...]
