IS THIS FOR REAL OR IS IT JUST ANOTHER DREAM?
Cowboyz 'n' Poodles
I love the idea of doing something physical and corporeal to reconcile mental and spiritual gaps, to seal cracks: My preoccupation with swimming across rivers started in 2001. A close friend had died, my own half-century mark was approaching and my 12-year-old twin sons were in an adolescent landscape furnished with clothes, language and activities […]

America’s best lawyer/DJ/writer/pundit, Will C., sent this from the Washington Post.

This demon-baby plus Wii technology are two early signs of the pending apocalypse, which is 2012 according to the Mayan calendar. Your neighborhood curandera is now taking appointments for the winter 2011 season. “Crack an egg” is the new “scrub the ground” – but so is “leaping hurdles” on that wiimazing cow-racing game. this youtube […]
