The Free-Lancer: March 2012
http://thefree-lancer.blogspot.com/2012_03_01_archive.html
This is the story of our youth, written like cracks in the tile that lines the shower. Don't worry, my dear, don't fret. These things will hold themselves together. The season changed from winter to spring in an odd transition that saw all of the cold feeling that I harbored go unrequited. How could I write great poetry if snow becomes a memory? There was no way I would be able to dress for occasions anymore. It is impossible to be fashionable in sweat. We were doing so well in our coats. Sometimes in sm...

May break my bones. Well, other peoples, maybe. Mine are made of adamantium. Is the headline over at Drudge currently (as I type) and I must say it is a report of mind-numbing stupidity on the behalf of our wonderful Legislature. Basically, Politico sums up the madness thusly:. House Rules Committee Chairwoman Louise Slaughter (D-NY) has released a helpful, updated primer. For members regarding their conduct on the floor and in committees. Disgrace" and "nitwits" - okay. If I were to be surprised by any ...

I have seen the stars fill the night sky to the rims of the horizon. Behind them, entire galaxies.though mere visual suggestions. Like colored whispers that are remnants of when God spoke the heavens into being.'. Guitar music and heartbreak, and all the long history that is the slow death of dreams played over the radio. The roads wound us away once more through darkness that was the loneliest thing in the world. The only lights were our headlights and we were the only people in the world. It wa...He sa...

Here, Buenos Aires. When we were in Once, the buildings stretched straight up towards the sky and hemmed us in like great walls. The streets a maze that extended towards infinity in all directions. If there is an end to the city, I haven't seen it. We have since moved to Palermo, where every corner is a cafe and the smell of a hundred restaurants keeps saliva in your mouth. Meat grills, empanadas bake. Argentina has beautiful daughters who know how to carry themselves. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). John is...

The title is a not-so-clever smash up of "Muppet" and "update." Get it? Way to make disco cool again. Yesterday I discovered, and then promptly posted on Facebook, a video of the Muppets performing Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody proving that the only way to make awesome things more awesome is to add Muppets. Classic literature? Check ( Christmas Carol. Check ( Muppet Babies). Check ( Muppets Take Manhattan. Check (The aforementioned video.). Rules to Live By. 1001 Rules for my Unborn Son. There is an old man ...

There was a time when Dane Cook was a comedian. This was long, long before he began his abortive career in cinema, and many of you may not even remember such an era, but I assure you, t'were a better time. As a comedian, Cook has a joke about how guys never go to the club like girls do to "just dance.". Screw Chicks tonight, dude. I just wanna dance! You haven't listened to that album? How 'bout getting a taste on my awesome Pandora channel JFM ROCK BATTALION. It might save your life someday. God is Not ...
