wild conversation in capitol hill

Walking home from Golden Triangle Wine & Spirits the other night, a close encounter of the strange kind.  I spotted him from a block out.  A guy with almost my same build wearing the exact same outfit.  Black knit cap, fully buttoned pea coat, dark jeans and glasses.  Honestly, I was cracking up Read more

the 36 hour boner

Enjoying a 2 for 1 draft beer coupon the other night @ Croc’s (a place I would only advise going if such a bargain is on offer.. (shudder), trying my best to ignore the racket of the idiot boxes all around me broadcasting some game or another, my attention was Read more

sell a cig; make $19 bucks

Okay okay, maybe that should say “sell a pack’s worth of cigs, make twenty bucks”.  Since I’ve been smoking, I’ve ‘bummed’ two cigarettes to people I didn’t know.  The first was a banging fine Read more

ol’ blue eyes

Walking down the 16th street mall the other day; a magic moment unequaled in recent memory.  Above the din of the lunchtime crowd; all horns honking, secretaries giggling, and panhandlers, well, ‘handling’, I heard something gorgeous begin to float my way.

A few simple notes and I was sure.. “Fly Me To The Moon”, by Read more

a brief period of rejoicing - part 1

Juanita Rodriguez is about to become a very rich woman.

Her latex gloves burn as they always do.  Itching against her skin.  Against her grain.  She walks through the deserted office with a sense of purpose.  The gray plastic trash can she pulls is silent.  It’s 6:43 PM, mountain standard time.  Denver.  Beneath the 11th story windows of the University building, the city breathes.  Half tanked .net developers stumble through intersections. Tipsy harlots from Highlands Ranch plan their next move.  Their next bar.  Their next free drink.

Juanita smirks at her reflection in the framed motivational print on the wall.

“SUCCESS - What one may dream, all may achieve.”

Tonight is her achievement ceremony.

Blake Moore barely registers a blip on his radar screen.  Digg has a fascinating story about American Apparel using nudity to sell clothes.  He doesn’t even notice Juanita’s arrival.  He should have.

See, the thing about Mexicans is, Read more
