On Bloodletting and the Art of Verse

Posted on July 31, 2003February 25, 2022 by KZ

Go ahead and bleed your meaning away may it seep in streams and as it falls in bulbous beads don’t you dare allow it to clot for a scab would mean the death of diminishing vision.

A Horse Is a Horse

Posted on July 21, 2003February 25, 2022 by KZ

Call me insensitive or maybe a tad unsentimental (as if that were a just description), but I don’t understand people’s fascination with racehorses. A few months ago, sportscasters were hyping up some horse named Funny Cide and how he might win the Triple Crown. Forgive me, but I found that pointless. And now we’ve got…

The Strong Silent Type

Posted on July 13, 2003February 25, 2022 by KZ

It’s 2am, and the club has closed. Outside, while everybody else is walking to their cars, my friends decide to join a swarm of horny and expectant guys mobbing two incredibly hot chicks that are shamelessly enjoying the attention. Yes, the girls are hot, but they’re obviously stringing the guys along because it’s fun to…

A Plague on Both Your Houses?

Posted on July 7, 2003February 25, 2022 by KZ

Conrado: what are you afraid of? Kevin: failure, the dark, and sometimes God Conrado: so you’re scared of uncertainty? Kevin: i think so Kevin: and you? Conrado: i’m scared of the dark, infinity, and being normal Kevin: being normal is definitely a fear of mine as well Kevin: but we can’t all be superstars Kevin:…

Moded

Posted on June 29, 2003February 25, 2022 by KZ

So I was driving in a residential neighborhood while bumping a 2Pac song with my windows down. I pulled my practical family sedan up to an intersection, stopped at the stop sign, and then I felt somebody looking at me. So I looked to my left, and there stood a little boy, no older than…

Business as Usual

Posted on June 28, 2003February 25, 2022 by KZ

I love it when business people treat me like I’m one of them. Some guy I met at a party last night nearly creamed himself when I told him that I graduated with an accounting degree. Because you see, he and I understand how the economy works, and how the inner mechanics of a company…

Carlos: FUCKING DAVE THOMAS DIED? Francisco: Yeah dude, like a year ago. Carlos: Man, that sucks. And I loved those frosty chocolate frosty things. What were those called? Nichole: Frosties? Kevin: Yeah, and you know what else? The Hamburglar has colon cancer. Carlos: I hate you.

Full Circle (Yet Again)

Posted on June 21, 2003February 24, 2022 by KZ

With so many things in life that are perpetually changing, it’s surprising when you rediscover something that never seems to change, no matter how many times you accidentally stumble upon it and toss it aside. Robert Frost laments that “nothing gold can stay,” and I’ve always been inclined to believe him. I still believe the…

In Search of Normality

Posted on May 20, 2003February 24, 2022 by KZ

Lately I haven’t had much to say. Most of what comes to mind is hardly worth committing even to the virtual page, and the thoughts that are actually worth sharing are probably better left unsaid for the moment. You could link this mental drought to a handful of things. Sometimes I wonder if I’m simply…

I saw a homeless guy sitting on the sidewalk, yammering to himself and repeatedly punctuating his remarks with, "You know what I'm sayin'? You know what I'm sayin'?" And I thought, For God's sake, the man is talking to himself! If he doesn't know what he's saying, who would?~George CarlinSource: When Will Jesus Bring the Pork Chops?
