Comic Con II - The Wrath of Tori Amos' People

·

So I return to this geek fest the following day. I wanted to meet Tori Amos, a singer/pianist that I love. I couldn't believe people were paying $175 for her leather bound book called "Comic Book Tattoo." I bought the …

A Gathering of Geeks at Comic Con

·

Comic-Con is such a weird event. And yeah, I can make fun of the geeks that go there, even though I went. My excuse is...I get a press pass for free. And, I usually have friends that are there I …

Decendants of O.G in O.T.

My uncle Leopoldo Wilkes was buried in the Old Town Cemetary. In fact, his marker is one of those embedded in the sidewalk or perhaps the street. Not sure which, though my Aunt says he was buried up near the …

Old Gang in Old Town -Our Introduction

One night we were hanging out at the coffee shop, kidding around with the kids. Hey, they are in their 20's and my friend Chuck is in his 50's and well, I am well into my 60's. Chuck mentioned that …

Cop Shooting at Gay Pride

·

When police officers do stupid stuff, I'll be the first one to reem them. Although I had no problem with that Charger being shot, I thought that Coronado police officer did about five things wrong, and shouldn't be allowed to …

Bale out on Bail, and a Former Bad Boy is Bad Again

·

The WNBA is actually pretty pathetic. It's a level of basketball that is unenjoyable to watch. Women often miss lay-ups and easy shots. A woman might dunk the ball every five years. I played a game against some WNBA players …

back to basics

Sandcastles weekend has come and gone in IB and everything is back to normal. IB is still a quiet beach town known for it's surf and, unfortunately, it's polluted water. I love it here though. And local residents are getting …

Urban Ambience

·

Waiting in line at the Valley Center library, the gentleman in front of me was checking out books on Amsterdam, and a few other cities. He told the librarian that Valley Center just didn't have "that urban ambience" he was …

Mr. Mira Mesa

·

Mr. Mira Mesa The streets of Mira Mesa can be unforgiving. This I discovered when I swung my bike off Mira Mesa Blvd and onto the sidewalk. The lip of the curb snagged my wheel and sent me sliding along, …

Unrequited Love

Summer is the season of the dragonfly. Also the water skimmer and the damsel fly. The chorus of tree frogs has ceased, and I miss the nightly serenade. But one slightly misguided male dragonfly has decided that it's perfect mate …

And in this corner....Check Mate!

It's not hard coming up with a topic for a blog each day. Usually it's something I want to complain about. But sometimes life surprises me. I went to see the new Batman movie and in a packed theatre, not …

Drumming is my Madness

Again, the title has little to do with this blog. It was the name of a crappy Ringo Starr album I had as a kid. At Black's Beach in La Jolla last Friday night, it was a full-moon. You know …

Dear Councilmember... (update)

Re: Dear Councilmember... Four days after I sent the above letter and photos to Councilman Faulconer's office, I heard back from one of his representatives. Less than two weeks later (sometime last week), the half-mile of sidewalk was cleared of …

Thanksgiving in July & Free Throw Records Lie

I went to a Thanksgiving in July party over the weekend. I'll be writing about it in a future Crasher. There was a woman named Sandy that was smoking a guy at a game of Horse. It was funny, because …

The N Word

Can someone explain to me why Jesse Jackson is allowed to talk? First, the guy can't speak proper English. He'll say things like "Barrack be talking down to...." and I want to say "Really? Maybe it's the fact that Obama …

Stupid Skydivers

·

What's the phrase for that? Oxymoron? It's almost 3:00 a.m. and I just got home from the Grand Old Party show at the Casbah. I'm not thinking straight. Really, anyone that skydives is stupid. I'm not talking about a person …

Commercials, Logos, and who Tony Gwynn Counts on.

Advertising is such a weird thing. I heard a commercial today, and Tony Gwynn was saying he always counts on El Cajon Ford. The funny thing is, I once saw him on the I-5 in a black Mercedes. And, a …
