Found porn: I-94, Exit 88 – Michigan
26 Sep 2007 | 7 Comments | Continue reading »
On the drive (from North Dakota) through Michigan to South Carolina, I barely snapped a picture of this exit sign as I zipped past doing just under eighty miles per hour. Had I known Climax was so close, I would have slowed down. Honest, that kind of thing never happened to me before.
Found porn: Grand Theatre – Bismarck, ND

I had just spent a pleasant evening with Pa watching 3:10 to Yuma at the Grand Theatre (spelling intentional) in north Bismarck, ND when I stumbled upon this wonderful example of found porn. From the front absolutely nothing looks out of place or unusual, but change perspectives and PRESTO! Found porn! I literally gasped at [...]

Found porn: Paradiso Mexican Restaurant – Bismarck, ND

I came across this bronze statue after a Wednesday night group ride. Dale pointed it out as we passed the hostess booth heading to the bar for free chips and salsa. I believe the hostess was in denial. I was immediately offended (yet immensely entertained and feeling somewhat dirty). I felt sorry for bronze statues [...]

Free Bird from Duets Soundtrack by Arnold McCuller It’s my last night in California and the first time I’ve ever posted from my patio. I can hear distant sirens, crickets on the hill to the west, and a man somewhere on a nearby patio drunkenly rambling on about the virtue of patience in public restrooms. [...]
Truth and lies

He lies even though truth claws up his throat, grips his lips, and dangles there like a rat clinging to the edge of a sewer pipe. It’s a funny thing, The Lie, because it’s so damn easy for him to believe given the circumstances. By the confused and hurt look on her face, she apparently [...]
Ten year Marine Corps anniversary

I had hoped something deep and philosophical would be flowing from fingers to keyboard by now. After all, it is my ten year Marine Corps anniversary. I had hoped my thoughts would be in order by now, and I’d be spilling page after page of wisdom on such significant topics as leadership, warrior ethos, and [...]
Found porn: Camp Delmar PX – Camp Pendleton, CA
3 Jul 2007 | One Comment | Continue reading »
The shear odds of catching found porn like this, on a Marine Corps base nonetheless, are astronomical. You see, since 2001 when I MEF moved to Camp Delmar, there’s been more brass running around than PFCs. And, predictably at 1030 every morning, officers flock to the PX for extended lunch breaks. How could this sign [...]
Salsa recital video

Few people know I’ve taken two beginner’s salsa classes since January. Andrea offered to coordinate the registration and finances, so I took her up on the deal since it was something I’ve wanted to do for quite some time. A cycle of classes was typically seven weeks long, an hour every Wednesday, with weeks 1-3 [...]
Old San Juan Trail – mapped!
12 Jun 2007 | No Comments | Continue reading »
Have I told you the harrowing tales from last weekend’s wilderness escape? About evading man-eating mountain lions? And slipping off the trail, dangling precariously by a root with one hand, while rocks tumbled hundreds of feet to a rocky gorge below? You sick bastard. I did no such things. This is a video diary of [...]

Born in the year of the Dragon, the author grudgingly accepts the fact he has too many interests and not enough time. A cyclist as long as he can remember, an avid yet inconsistent writer since age eleven, and a U.S. Marine since age twenty-one, the author also adds computers, snowboarding, and motorcycles to his list of interests. Incidentally, he is aware of his inability to make a living from any but the Corps. The author accepts this as fact and remains optimistic. Feel free to drop him a line.
