My Friend Gatsby: But He's Not Obama So It's Okay
http://www.myfriendgatsby.com/2012/07/but-hes-not-obama-so-its-okay.html
This is a social commentary. Monday, July 16, 2012. But He's Not Obama So It's Okay. Find this pointless and fickle? Yay, don't we love Politics. But now I have to ask a question. Why do people put stock in Mitt Romney? Why do they trust him? Is it because he's the smiling rich white guy who's not Obama? That's hardly a qualification. It recently came to light that Mr. Romney, in one way or another, lied about when he left his equity company Bain Capital. Did he leave in 1999 or 2002? Romney now says 199...

My Friend Gatsby: May 2011
http://www.myfriendgatsby.com/2011_05_01_archive.html
This is a social commentary. Sunday, May 29, 2011. The Regimented American Dream. America, the land opportunity (for some) and freedom; but the Dream has changed. Almost regressed. Over the last few years-or decades, I'm not sure-there h been a cultural shift of people moving out of the cities and into shiny little paradise-like suburbs where there are electronically controlled iron gates, plush perfect lawns, community security guards, and home owners associations. The Question: Why? A shower, now you k...

My Friend Gatsby: June 2011
http://www.myfriendgatsby.com/2011_06_01_archive.html
This is a social commentary. Wednesday, June 29, 2011. Break the Pen, and Cover the Mouth. I recently read an article about a book that is being banned more and more throughout the school districts of our country (including our own). And tell him how his book has helped them cope with their own growing up trials, but it seems that the parents of these kids apparently feel that exposure to the real word is a terrible and evil proposition. So they cut the kids off. Which no one should have the right to do.

My Friend Gatsby: The Child & the Rum Bottle
http://www.myfriendgatsby.com/2012/06/child-rum-bottle.html
This is a social commentary. Saturday, June 2, 2012. The Child and the Rum Bottle. Congratulations Washington, you have private liquor sales now. Good for you. My question: How the hell do you figure that Mr/Mrs. Informed Voter? So let's play a fun game called break-this-down. I'll apologize in advance to a friend of a friend of mine who I accidentally irritated enough to leave the bar the other night who might read this and have his head explode. For those who say it doesn’t happen, just ask the C...

My Friend Gatsby: Small Questions
http://www.myfriendgatsby.com/2012/05/small-questions.html
This is a social commentary. Friday, May 4, 2012. You might see this as a small, personal bitching session or personal attack, but deal with it I suppose because it probably is just that. I've been a bit depressed lately (which I might get into at a later date) and have spent some time thinking. Good combination Right? Much more in-depth and invasive than I'm sure most of us ever think it of it as being. the small question I get asked from time to time:. Why do you write? Why not restore a car? I've been...

My Friend Gatsby: Just a Thought...Just a Playful Thought
http://www.myfriendgatsby.com/2012/05/just-thoughtjust-playful-thought.html
This is a social commentary. Saturday, May 26, 2012. Just a Thought.Just a Playful Thought. Disclaimer: This is entirely theoretical. It’s stupid to say this I know, but I feel that if I don’t someone might think that I’m being serious and that I may actually be fucked in the head enough to try something this insane. I hope people aren’t thins stupid…but you never know. Welcome to the Friday Night Special. Written by My Friend Gatsby. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile.

My Friend Gatsby: September 2011
http://www.myfriendgatsby.com/2011_09_01_archive.html
This is a social commentary. Wednesday, September 21, 2011. Troy Davis, a possibly innocent man, was put to death in Georgia tonight, just a few minutes ago (again, this will be posted after I've written it longhand). But first, for those of you who know nothing about the case, here's a sum-up. And I'm not the only one who thought a retrial was in order. Please understand, I am not trying to undermine the fact that a police officer was killed, what I'm saying is that the possibility of proven innocence w...

My Friend Gatsby: January 2012
http://www.myfriendgatsby.com/2012_01_01_archive.html
This is a social commentary. Saturday, January 21, 2012. This Thing is Stapled to My Fucking Head. Writing is a tough game. You need to be different people, and wear different hats.". This is a quote from a woman who was helping me for a bit back when I was just starting to write. It's been going on for a while now. I haven't been able to write anything worth using in a few months. This is more annoying than you'd think. Because I can still think up stories, just not put the right words to paper. To sum ...
