The image depicts a freedom fighter and a lighthouse to all who have been wronged by the American machine. It is a call to hear the lived experience of the underclass and a call to reform, rework, and if necessary, revolt. Spoiler alert: it is for the people who live there, too! How are we to cope with this bleak reality? I suspect it’...

Observations from the domestic trenches. On Whether I Miss It. Well, no. Turns out I moved to a state that prioritizes college degrees over experience (one of which I don't have and the other I do). Turns out I additionally moved to a state with a 4% placement rate for police academy graduates, because there are too many applicants and too few jobs. Whoops! One question I keep getting asked is “Do you want to go back into law enforcement? Do you miss it? You want to know the sick thing? With it. I kn...

Observations from the domestic trenches. This video game discussion begins, as you would expect, with a passage I was reading from Slavoj Zizek’s Looking Awry. If this psychoanalytic analysis is correct about the cause of the outrage on the part of the hardcore gaming community, it may also provide insights on why this battle is all the more worthy of being fought. If video games (like film) shape consumers by not just giving them what they want but instead teaching them. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Observations from the domestic trenches. Probably Not A Groundbreaking Observation. Recently, I’ve been poking around OkCupid again, scoping out eligible persons in my local area. I’ve been a veteran online dater since the AOL days (a/s/l? Man, her cheekbones could cut glass. Next! Her nose is seven degrees too upturned. Next! I’m not sure her smile is close enough to the Golden Ratio when measured against the length of her face from chin to hair line. Next! No web page can really capture a person and no...

Tactical Therapy: December 2014
http://tacticaltherapy.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html
Observations from the domestic trenches. I am very sad for my country these days. Just two cultural teams pitted against each other, I know at the end of the day I’ll probably protect an imperfect power hierarchy over bloody anarchy if it comes to that. Finally, I’m sad because I know my sadness is a pale, offensive distraction compared to three black families burying their dead as they limp towards an icy, bone-white Christmas.

Observations from the domestic trenches. GUEST PIECE: My Time As A Number. Wherever you fall on that topic, I think you'll find my friend's experiences worth chewing on. My Time As a Number. My bus arrived in Sacramento California on Friday at 1:48 PM, 13 minutes behind schedule, but good time for a Greyhound. I grabbed my backpack and started the long walk towards the door with only three thoughts on my mind. First: "Damn, I haven't had a cigarette in eight hours, where's the smoking area? The three of ...
