The Corner Store is Not Your Personal Gambling Center

Get Out of Line, or get outta line

rants :: Thursday, October 6 2011

I play the Lotto. I play scratchers. I occasionally go to bingo halls... BUT YOU DO NOT "GAMBLE" IN LINE, PEOPLE! This is now the FIFTH noted time at my corner store: no, it's not the only poor working cashier's fault. Blame the corporations who will now FIRE this poor soul for asking the customer to step out of line to do their business. They'll fire him for asking: it's "poor customer service". Nevermind the 18 people... MORE >>

It's E.A.S.T. Again

East Side Studio Tours, from an artist standpoint

musings :: Thursday, October 6 2011

I'm holding a yard sale instead: you can buy my art at yard sale pricing: like $75 framed (was over $300), and $50 not (was over $100) for a 24x36-ish. Yes, I can take credit cards. I'm kinda still sick and tired I didn't get into E.A.S.T., WHEN I AM EAST. It's my fault: I was too busy trying to make a living/money off my art to pay attention to this deadline, again! BUT, this city drove all artists East; the only place... MORE >>

Take Your Check and Shove It

for the retail slaves and customers who hate them

musings :: Wednesday, September 21 2011

I personally believe in conscription. Not for the military: I think every, single person should be forced to serve one year as a retail cashier before any other job they hold, just to learn patience for the other poor person who has to later serve them. I am guilty and I apologize: when I've personally been a cashier, I can't tell you how many times I've rolled my eyes when I've a line of 20 people grumbling how long... MORE >>

Devil's Night Radio

if you hate sucky music, this online station ROCKS!

musings :: Saturday, July 23 2011

I've tried like 100+ internet radio stations, finding one I could just live with and stay on without changing the station whilst doing other work. It claims to be something to the affect of, "the best dive-bar jukebox you ever heard." Well, it actually DELIVERS on that claim... It's under "alternative", where most the stations play nothing but what I like to call, "whiny boy bands". Devil's Night Radio IS THE SHIT.... MORE >>

Dyslexic is Not a Curse

It's Just a Different Way of Thinking

musings :: Thursday, July 14 2011

[written in defense of everyone dealing with a dyslexic treated like they're "dumb"...] I admit I have a problem with the physical shape of numbers. I can't see up from down; to me, they are completely relative. I'm better at reading words, because if it doesn't make a word, then I know it's wrong. But that's not true of numbers. They could be anything at all. 1-4-7, 3-8, 2-5, 6-9. Come on: look at them! I have to... MORE >>
