I was a little fat social outcast. Who knew I would grow up to be The Man.
Author: Kieran
I've been a journalist, teacher, instructional designer, project manager, product manager, business guy... Veteran of the married life for 30-something years. Sort of helped raise one boy to be decent adult. Here to spread my bullshit and read what others have to say.
Defining Fascism
The democrats cried "fascist" like the boy who cried "wolf" and it sucked all the power out of the word. I thought it was stupid at the time, and I still do.

Crushing PayPal
PayPal is no friend of mine. I've been banned. I "knew too much."

Fat Biker: Numb Nards
Covid-19 Quarantine has sent many of us scurrying back to our bicycles. Some for the first time since childhood. I see them on the bike paths, wearing a T-shirt and jeans shorts with no pads, gears squeaking from the spider webs they didn't bother to wipe, and weaving all over the road like drunks.

Porn in their pockets
Old people often look back on their youth as a simpler time. That's bullshit. Life was complicated as soon as we dropped out of the trees and walked across the savannah on our hind legs.

Greek Salad
Some men show love and affection through jewelry and flowers. Some men buy houses and cars. I showed my love through eating.

Fat Biker: Horse’s Ass
Put tires on my road bike that are 3 millimeters wider (25 to 28 mm), so I could ride on a little dirt. What did I get? A berating from two "expert" trail users.

Saving the Salton Sea
I sometimes worry about my mental health. I'm lying in bed and I get these manic ideas of social research about spatial awareness or even how to save the world. You know bullshit theories. This is a good one.

Spanish Flu Redo
This "re-opening" shit is giving me Deja-Vu. It's either a glitch in the Matrix, or I've been watching too many fucking documentaries, and I spent too much time with my grandfather.

Booze and Broads and Bad Ideas
Other kids wanted to grow up to be astronauts, firefighters or doctors. I dreamed I was born the second son of a Landed Lord or a Robber Baron and blew the family fortune on booze and broads and bad ideas...
