Recently a coworker announced she had accepted a position at another
business. After the initial shock and disappointment, I began to put
myself in her shoes and realized we couldn’t afford to pay her what
she’s worth and she wasn’t in a position that would likely lead to a
promotion.
I don’t know much about love. I don’t know much about it at all. I was raped a few years ago in The Hood and that’s the only reason why I’m not a virgin.
It has been suggested by a couple of well-meaning people that I take over Larry’s job as owner of this blog.
To this I reply: Thanks so much for thinking I’m up to the task; but no thanks, because I’m not.
Maybe all men do it. I remember when I was little, my dad taking the Sunday paper into the bathroom with him and being gone for awhile – guess he was reading the paper while taking a you-know-what.
My boss at work is the same way. Around mid morning every morning, he takes a newspaper or magazine with them to the restroom and he’s gone for at least 20 minutes.
I think I’m pretty good to my wife.
I always turn my paycheck over to her so she can keep track of the
finances and pay the bills. I take out the trash. Sometimes I’ll go get
her a beer when we’re watching television. I even mow the lawn in the
spring and summer and will even rake some leaves in the fall. I’m a
decent kind of guy. Do I want something in return? Yes.
’ve had all manner of dreams about my son since he passed (and one I
believe was precognitive before he passed). There are some dreams that
I can tell are created just because of my longing for him, but then
there are others that have a very different quality to them.
I have a love/hate relationship with Bogart’s. I think it’s one of the
most uncomfortable places to see a live show and the help is sometimes
rude, but if it ever closed up on ShortVine, I know I’d be depressed.
I’ve seen a lot of really good performances there.
The following is a comment that co-publisher and editor at CityBeat, John Fox made on the “Kim Taylor Has Arrived” post. At the risk of sucking up, I thought it was important enough to make as it’s own post.
Sorry to interrupt Living Out Loud for a brief fact check, but CityBeat covered Kim Taylor’s “new” CD more than four months ago — check Mike Breen’s lengthy discussion of it in Spill It from the issue of Sept. 6, 2006: http://www.citybeat.com/2006-09-06/musicspillit.shtml
