I've got to thinking since Dabe posted her article, I've written plenty, but never much about who I am, so here goes. My name is Ben, never Benji or Benjamin. I'm 29 next month. I'm married, nine and a half years now. Three cats, two of which are dumb as bricks, and the other one's smart, but mean as piss. He's my favorite. I live in Copperas Cove, Texas, near Ft. Hood. I don't have much of a job right now. I'm trying to get hired by the killeen school district, teaching music, but in t...

Oct 9. Guantanamo Bay, Cuba - Today contraversy continues to rage over allegations of the use of torture by CIA and military officials at Guantanamo Bay to obtain information from alleged terrorists. Said George Bush, "damn it, it's working ain't it? We've uncovered at least three credible Al Qaeda plots to kidnap and kill Barney and Mss Beazley. No way we're going to have an act of terrierism on my watch! Despite red hot denials of the use of torture, the new Chief Justice Rob...

So where did it all go? I used to be creative, loquacious, eloquent. I used to use words like loquacious, and elegant. Squamous or obsquesious or pedantic also had a possibility of appearing in my lexicon. Where did it all go, the constant manic energy? The vocabulary? The wonderful poetry I used to write? The romance and the thrill and the passion? How about the excitement I felt every time I went on a stage? I'd love to do that again, but all they have around here is bad community theatr...

Come one, come all, see the great mythological creatures of the left in our all new freak show. See the woman that had her child aborted because it was a child of incest and rape, not just because it was unwanted. See the ACLU lawyer that truly does believe in freedom of religion, including Christianity! See the man promoted by affirmative action without causing racial division and hatred! We've got it all! Welfare queens with a heart of gold that make good and get off the system. Big g...

Been broke, running out of cash, two cars broke down in a two day period, my renters moved out, unable to find a frickin' job (which is an absolute first for me), turned out my wife's got diabetes and polycystic ovarian syndrome, and I had to go in to sub today for a class I knew was gonna be pure hell. Well.............the class turned out not only to be not hell, but fun even. I actually got to teach for once, woot choir! My specialty. The diabetes and pos is treatable by the same medi...

I'm back.......my computer's been down with the sickness. Some kind of a Trojan (now that's going through my head.....Trojan man!!!!!) but it's all better now. Not a damn thing going on here. Still looking (unsuccessfully) for work. It's very frustrating, I've always been able to get a job by pounding the pavement, but everything that pays anything around here is run by contractor services with headquarters elsewhere. Even if you get in to see anyone, it's "oh, you've got to go to our we...

Seriously, I'm about sick to death of back in forth blogs of basically "Bush is evil, Liberals are whackjobs, War bad, War good." It's become the equivalent of "He touched me." "No I didn't." "Mom, he's on my side of the line." "Stop!!!" So like my dad did one day, I'm metaphorically pulling over to the side of the road so you can fight it out for once and for all and get it out of your system. (which will probably last about five minutes) Declare your side, than flame on about your fa...
