How do you begin to understand someone who says he has “Tiger’s blood and Adonis’ DNA and a brain not of our terrestrial plain”?  What sense can you make of someone who rants and riffs while chain smoking, defiantly NOT apologizing for his l  Read more >

It’s hard to accept things we can’t change.  And, contrary to popular opinion, I don’t think it gets easier as you get older.  OK, some things are easier to accept.  For example, looking older.  For anyone who has never been a raging beauty, you can just shrug and say “It’s an Is”, because frankly you can’t miss what you never had.  Sure, if you hit the lottery you might get rid of that double chin, but it’s not likely to happen and most of your friends look the same anyway.  Same with wrinkles.  I was in a store yesterday, and someone said they ar  Read more >

An eerie face, floating on a blue screen.  Shaved, lumpy skull surrounding twisted features.  Eyes blazing with an unfathomable glee.  A determined, satisfied grin twisting harsh young features into a frightening clown mask of human misery.   The face of a 22 year old man from Tucson.  An unknown man, from an everyman street in an every man suburb.  And yet, this is every mother’s worst nightmare.  Jared Lee Loughner wasn’t born in this image.  Going back 22 years, he was undoubtedly a lovely infant, with chubby cheeks and toes.&n  Read more >
