Review of the album Gangsta Melodiez by Boosie Badazz I first heard of Boosie Badazz years ago when a sports reporter was interviewing Seattle Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch before a game. The reporter inquired about his pregame ritual to which Lynch replied, “I listen to Lil’ Boosie and take a shot or two of…
Read moreApartment mattress.
I know the best mattress spots in Bell County. Once someone decides a spot is good to dump a mattress then everyone else will agree. 1 dumped mattress will turn into 10 over several mattress seasons. Autumn is great mattress dumping weather. I found this one over by the apartments on Muelshoe by the Dollar…

Review of the movie “The Long Walk” I can’t remember the last time I went to see a matinee, alone. The stars have to explode into roman candles for it to happen. My wife took the kids to a museum in Austin and I stayed home trying to finish a work project. I remember hearing…

Review of the album Ordinary Average Guy by Joe Walsh Like most people have done, at some point in their lives, I listened to every single Joe Walsh album, in order. It took awhile. You probably remember his hit songs, “Rocky Mountain Way” from the 1973 album The Smoker You Drink, The Player You Get…

Around 8:30 pm at night, sometimes, some nights, I’ll take half a gummy and watch a sport on television while writing. Usually, baseball or tennis where nothing happens fast, until it does. The droning of the announcer saying, “It’s a full count, it’s a pay off pitch.” Or the bopping of the tennis ball back…

Review of the book, “Pimp: The Story of My Life” by Iceberg Slim Most people have heard that pimpin’ ain’t easy, but have you ever wondered why? I had some basic assumptions, but other than what I’ve seen in movies I was oblivious to the struggle. After reading this book I’ve learned that pimpin’ is…
