And Speaking of Obesity…

Posted on October 11, 2002February 23, 2022 by KZ

According to a recent study, roughly a third of all Americans are obese. That’s really good to know…too bad that story first broke like 20 years ago. It’s become something of a cliché now for news publications and news broadcasters to wag their admonishing finger at the fat people of America. If you watch the…

Blasphemy by a Former Catholic

Posted on October 2, 2002February 25, 2022 by KZ

We’ve all heard people take the Lord’s name in vain. That kind of thing bothers some people, but it doesn’t get to me anymore. Whenever I hear somebody say “goddamnit” or mutter something like, “oh for Christ’s sake,” I’m more concerned about how that person is doing than I am about God’s feelings. God has…

Mmm Fizzy

Posted on September 27, 2002February 23, 2022 by KZ

Yesterday I ate lunch at one of those McDonald’s that offers a self-service drink fountain. I was in a Mr. Pibb kind of mood, so I reached over and went for it. As I was filling up, I read the slogan on the little graphic icon: “Put it in your head.” Now I ask you,…

Tired of Playing the Fool

Posted on September 22, 2002February 23, 2022 by KZ

Oh, the drama: mixed signals, varying shades of advice from every corner and from every angle, lingering doubts, and lingering suspicions. Sometimes, man… At some point, something’s gotta give. It’s just like Carlos always says, “Sometimes you get the bear, and sometimes that fucking bear…he gets you.” What’s the score at now, anyway? I think…

If Only Rationality Were as Enduring as Emotional Stupidity

Posted on September 21, 2002February 23, 2022 by KZ

I feel at peace tonight. We’re just friends, and that’s okay. Although there will always be an irrational part of me that holds onto the hope that she’ll one day be mine, I think I’m finally learning to let go. We could have been something, I still believe that; but I’ve realized that she really…

Only a Fool

Posted on September 16, 2002February 23, 2022 by KZ

Lately it seems that the more we talk the more it hurts. She’s onto me, too. She senses it in every lull and every introspective silence. So be it. Yesterday afternoon, while we were speaking on the phone, she suggested that she should hang up because she made me too sad. I asked her to…

A Tribute to Her

Posted on August 30, 2002February 23, 2022 by KZ

Here’s to missed chances, those quick and inadvertent glances that always seem to happen just as the other is looking your way — and to silence and mutual understanding, to knowing everything but daring not to acknowledge a single word of truth to the other. Here’s to lost love, the things that could have been,…

All Knowles had to do to close the door and get us to the first floor was to press a button, but he wasn't going to do that yet. He wasn't going to do it, maybe, for years. "Man told me," He said, "that these here elevators was Mayan architecture. I never knew that till today. And I says to him, 'What's that make me—mayonnaise?' Yes, yes!"~Kurt VonnegutSource: Cat's Cradle
