*sigh* — oh the Humanity… John F. Kerry might be grinning like a schoolboy and John Edwards might be giddy too because they both have found new life after the Iowa caucus, but at the same time I have seen the Democratic Party take a severe hit. Mr. Dead andRead More

Via aPhotoshop image posted on Worth 1000, may I introduce you to a classic ensamble of action and jive in The 007 Band!

This is cruelty to animals… Since I got GTA: Vice City from Andrew on Christmas, I’ve slowly grown an addiction to running around and beating the shit out of people, driving fast cars, blowing people away and all that jazz. It’s fun, it’s challenging, and it’s something to do betweenRead More

I’m lame, I know. I admit to my lameness especially seeing I have never once watched an episode of “American Idol” before…. Never. Not once. Not one moment. I’ve been flipping around the tube tonight and for the first time — well, second, I put Idol on briefly the otherRead More

So it’s been almost six months since I started to heavily use a walker to get around the house and through day to day life because my balance had been fudged up. I still heavily use a walker but there is a light – distant at best, but a lightRead More

I love Judith Steinberg Dean. I respect the hell out of her as a mother, a wife, a doctor and of course a shy woman who doesn’t want the limelight. That being said, I also fear for her and Howard’s safety in the very near future. Judy Dean, as herRead More

….The Urge to SAVE SURGE!!!!! Oh how I miss my (second) favorite citrus drink. Apparently these guys do too.

The Stonegauge has about 300 entries since I switched to Movable Type (this includes entries from my old journal that I switched to the MT Journal) which is pretty cool. in that time I’ve used a lot of different phrases and different word combinations in every one of those journalRead More

My older brother Mike’s former Creative Writing teacher is running for president … Weird. OK, it isn’t a serious campaign (or am I wrong?) but DJ Condon, former Creaive Writing teacher at East Lake High School, is putting forth a campaign for president and Mike was tickled to let me knowRead More

Bush Administration Investigation Hypocrisy http://www.talkingpointsmemo.com/archives/week_2004_01_11.html#002404 “Number of days between Novak column outing Valerie Plame and announcement of investigation: 74 days. Number of days between O’Neill 60 Minutes interview and announcement of investigation: 1 day. Having the administration reveal itself as a gaggle of hypocritical goons … priceless. — Josh Marshall”

Well, I have totally avoided the subject of sports for the most part — I don’t mean certain sports topics because I know I have left a couple of sports entries the past month but I haven’t written much of anything with concern of los deportes since October 2003 withRead More

The last few days have been really exciting with the NASA probe American Spirit arriving on Mars, landing on the Martian surface and sending back images… It’s the first successful mission to Mars (landing mission) since 1997 and a great accomplishment for the down-and-out NASA space program, which has seenRead More

Mustache was getting ratty and I wanted to keep going with my chin… so from Fu-Manchu to Van Dyke, the Goatee lives on….

Democrats loathe Ralph Nader (well, some of them do) because of the 2000 election which AL Gore lost because of poor campaigning. Voters looked for an alternative that was closer to their ideals and more of a stark contrast between Gore and Bush and Ralph Nader fit the bill. IRead More

Well, leave it up to Matthew Baldwin at Defective Yeti to remain ahead of the curve and set himself up to make a bunch of money…. He hasn’t even been elected yet but Impeach Dean is already a hot seller :tongue

I’m done with Wolves of the Calla for over a month, making reference to it before I went into the hospital and finalizing it the day I got out of the hospital… but I haven’t made mention of that once in this journal. There, I just did… Once.. :tongue TheRead More

I was flipping through the cable channels this evening and came across ESPNews, which was reporting a trade between the New York Knicks in the NBA and another team. I started thinking about the Knicks name, which is short for Knickerbockers, and how classy/traditional the name is in a senseRead More

It’s scary when you are reading a newspaper article that has nothing to do with anything you are interested in and then you see your name come up in front of you. Not just your first and last name but your middle initial too… I’m reading about the Hard RockRead More

I’ve forgone saying this to my (small) web audience — Happy New Year! I had wanted to post a long piece of best-and-worst of The Stonegauge this past year… “Best Comment”, “Funniest Entry”, “Entry I most regret” and such — but that’d be no fun because me saying what IRead More

As crappy as I have been feeling, I haven’t been shaving like normal – which has been the case since I got out of the hospital. Last time I DID shave I looked in the mirror afterwards and felt wierd with what I saw — my face without any hairRead More

Hours left in 2003 and all I can say is GOOD RIDDENCE. Between heart break, heart ache, hurt, physical difficulties, brain farts, anomolies, family fights, family plights, family deaths and trips to the vet, Bushisms, politics, unjustified wars, and even MORE bullshit, I am eager to see the year offRead More

Let me just say AAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRGGGGHHH! If there is anything worse than being single, and having to deal with a roomate who just started dating, and is all lovey-dovey, I have no idea what it is. I’d prefer Chinese Water Toture right about now. Happy New Year to everyone!

Saturday was an interesting and annoying experience for me. Two days after the festivities of Christmas and instead of continuing the Christmas cheer, I was doubled over, moaning and whailing… First at home, then at Tampa General Hospital’s Emergency Room. THat’s right, Johnny got a part on ER :tongue Seriously,Read More

Seems John remains absent, so here I am again. Today, a little more personal. I just realized (it is 10:30 PM) that today is the 5th anniversary of my aunts murder. I also realized that I completely missed the 21st anniversary of my fathers death on the ninth. Two daysRead More

Ok, I’m in a juvenile mood, and it seems John cant make an entry yet tonight, so I’ll post on the fun that was my day… You know those little hot wheels like RC cars that Radio Shack sells? If you have a cat, get one. Hours upon hours ofRead More

Between having to deal with the after-effects of my Monolith (my pet name for my computer) having a Trojan-Horse on Tuesday and me just feeling like complete shit right now becaue of pain and insomnia – getting up an entry in Der Stonegauge hasn’t been much of a priority lately.Read More

You know, I was going to brush off this anniversary as another one that was a major milestone but also something I could forget because my day-to-day is busy enough without having to nit-pick at the past. But it’s an interesting anniversary none the less — one that goes fromRead More

Just a quick update at 6 AM becasue… well, Johnny hasn’t had a bit of shut-eye since he originally tucked himself in before midnight… …oh how I love insomnia.

You know I woke up this morning with the day in front of me — actually slightly behind me. My gut had been doing the rumba last night and had kept me up, keeping me sleep deprieved and groggy most of the day. So I came online around 10 AMRead More

Right now I am feeling like I am inspiring very few smiles, and this graphic will not encourage more 😛

What do you do when your left ankle is swollen tot he size of a softball? Limp.

…With lack of much more to do right now (though I should be writing) I decided to offer my web design services to Mike Emmons and his District Seven campaign here in Florida. Of course there are bigger issues at stake than just his web site but of course –Read More

In the last few days, I’ve been taken for another political roller coaster from the left side of the political spectrum. I happen to be a liberal/progressive and that makes me vote Democrat / Green and support those candidates. My regular readers should know this, my friends should be awareRead More

So it’s been seven days since I was discharged from the Hospital. It’s funny I posted about “falling off the internet” last night because I haven’t heard from a lot of people I contacted about being under the weather / in the hospital again. Hmmphf, figures right? Find out whoRead More

Is it just me or is conversation dead on the Internet? I am trying to find people to chat with and unfortunately it doesn’t seem like Trillian is fostering much hope. I am not getting people from Yahoo or AOL IM or any other program dropping me lines like theyRead More

I cleared out some of my News / RSS feeds on Trillian Pro 2.0 the other day because the sites in general weren’t getting updated much and basically waiting another few months for a new story on a site like Bush / Orwell ’04 was lame. SO what doe sthatRead More

Seeing how POPULAR one of my entries is on the Search engines — I decided to re-launch the “How Well do you know me?” quiz… http://stonegauge.friendtest.com/ A little tougher, a few of the same questions and this time I am not passing it on to friends through email to take…

You know, I was just going through something or other on the web and I came across a little factoid that just hit me a certain way that made me laugh and think at the same time about a poem I wrote a few years ago (song Poem) and howRead More

I’m sorta taken aback that my blog was getting any hits at all over my entry on Jonathan Brandis’ death which happened early in November. November 11th, actually. Brandis’ friend called from Jonathan’s apartment to report finding Jonathan attempting to hang himself (or having hung himself). Paramedics responded immediately butRead More
