Dec. 31st, '14/1st, '15 - So, I don’t mind admitting that I’ve been “drunk” a time or two in my life. I’m not saying that I am particularly proud of that fact or anything, but then again, I’m not all that ashamed of it either. Probably because I don’t remember all of the horrible antics during my drunken episodes! But still, somehow through the thick fog and haze...

And it is so named because it makes you feel like CRUD. Oh well, there are worse ailments to have for sure, so I suppose I shouldn’t complain. But I will. Yeah,...

Dec. 27th/28th, 2014 - So, as I have written about before, people do all kinds of strange things to their bodies. They pierce themselves with all manner of metal objects, from ear rings to nose rings. Some folks have “horns” surgically implanted into their heads. And I’m sure you’ve seen the pictures of the Dude who transformed himself into a “human lizard” before. But sometimes, people do things...
