Well, after my pleas, emails, and phone calls, the traffic division has finally placed a radar trailer on my street.  The thing is, it's closer to the H St end ... and I mean, really close to the end of the street, so at that point people have already slowed their asses down for the stop...

We all laugh about our anal retentive tendencies, but to those who suffer from Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, being obsessed with what may seem to others to be insignificant, trivial aspects of one's enviornment, is no laughing matter. One of the best movies to address this psychological...

It is much easier to avoid intimacy than it is to enter into its seemingly daunting territory. Don't worry. There are plenty of ways of avoiding intimacy in relationships.  One way is to have plenty of sex without ever making love. Another way is to avoid people altogether. Then there are...

I've been pouring over the loan docs I was the signing agent for tonight.  My eyes hurt, my head hurts, and I missed the majority of ER.  I also missed Earl and The Office because the signing took so long.  Wah. The positive side of this is I made a good chunk of change,...

I auditioned for this play last month at The Empty Space, called Project Murder, after talking a lot about Bakersfield Theatre, with the help of Theatreaddict, and others. What makes the theatre scene click in Bako? I have no idea!! I do know Bako actors like to hangout at Kosmo's to do...

This morning while I was getting ready for work I turned the news on as usual. KGET was reporting that a local liberal group was planning a protest today. The local chapter of The World Can’t Wait is protesting against Bush and the war. The news guys said organizers expected thousands to...

I write this now not as an indication of my political stance, which you probably cant guess from what I write (that's not sarcasm), but I mention it because people like to assume that the "other" political side has no legitimate arguement.  The issue is the illegal immigration...

I WAS IN A CAR ACCIDENT YESTERDAY, AND IT WAS THE SCARIEST THING I'VE EVER GONE THROUGH. I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY, AND IF YOU'VE EVER BEEN WITH ME, YOU KNOW THAT WHEN THE SPEED LIMIT SAYS 65 I'M READING 85, BUT THAT'S NOT THE CASE. I WAS GOING WITH THE FLOW OF THE CROWDED TRAFFIC, 70...

I stood in my kitchen yesterday, looking at my work of art. My children had left the house so I was left alone with our collaborative adventure in art - in paint, in canvas, in clay, in wood, in dirt, in.... life itself. I didn't relish putting it in my car and driving it to Capistrano's, I...

I really want to find something fun to do this Halloween! Anyone know of local costume contests, ect for grown-ups? I know Cactus Valley has a costume contest but it is usually a couple weekends prior to Halloween. Any others?

OMG The Examples really do exist, and I found them on MySpace!  I've done searches before, but nothing ever turned up.  I've asked any 90's Bakersfield punk rocker that I've run across if they remember them ... and no one did!  I'd sing their song "Happy Hippo" and say...

I came home from a lunch out with a friend and a shopping expedition and was surprised to find a visitor on my front lawn.  My breath made an nvoluntary, surprise gasping sound. This friend was here a couple weeks ago, too – and the presence was as strong and as intoxicating as...

Just out in the patio enjoying the evening Monday night.  On my second glass of red.  The outside air is fresh and a bit chill.  I had my ipod going listening to Kenny G.  For those who remembers him, you know how soothing his music is.  Well, this is what I came up...

Do you believe in love at first sight? My seven year old son asked me that the other day. Actually, what he asked is how did I meet daddy. I said, “We used to work together a long time ago."  He came in to look for a job and I gave him an application.   He said,...
