The Tranquility And The Rage
I want to float on an air mattress on Lake Berryessa with my girlfriend and to feel all the elements, the sun, the water, the thunder and lightning, the tranquility and the rage. Stephanie* would’ve dropped her swimmers for me. … Continue reading
Terror On The Road
I was in more than my share of car accidents when I was a child. I found them terrifying. I remember this one woman who was quite attractive. We were traveling with a goat and I told the goat to … Continue reading
Infected By Shame
A couple of weeks ago, my blog was infected by some virus that tried to install malware on the computers that visited me (Google quickly blocked my site when I got infected). I feel that shame has similarly infected my … Continue reading
I Hate Losers Who Attach Themselves To Me Because They Think I’m One Of Them

Imagine My Surprise
I went to writing class last night to read my essay on why Jewish men chase shiksas only to have the tall blonde newcomer share first her story about her love of Jewish ****.
Who Do I Hate?
I believe in God. I don’t believe that my instincts are right more than 50% of the time. I believe that I’m an addict to sex, love, fantasy, and co-dependent relationships. If I follow my own will, I’m lost. I … Continue reading
It Helps To Have No Feelings
If you have no feelings, you don’t wince when you carve up people. You’re as cold as ice. You’re a surgeon. Your job is to cut people up. Sometimes you heal them and sometimes you kill them (even the best … Continue reading
