placebo + deadmau5 = awesome

Two upcoming Denver concerts of note.  First, Placebo brings their bittersweet brilliance (in support of “Battle For The Sun”, reviewed on TGOC here) to the Gothic Theater September 23rd.  If their last stop @ the Gothic was any indication, expect an emotionally energized, Read more

ayn rand drunkard salute: update

Makes Cash happy?  Knowing my friends read TGOC.  Better still, when I know they’ve got it on RSS, getting the updates immediately.  The cou de taut?  When they mention something specific about a post to me.  Mad props to the always blondealicious Glenn then for pointing out Read more

the u.s.s. enlightenment

Some people I know love seeing themselves referenced on TGOC.  It’s a badge of honor.  An indication of respect.  15 seconds of fame.  Other people ride me constantly asking when they’ll rate a mention.  These people live in San Franscisco.  Truth be told, the second someone says Read more

“awesome until proven awful”

This should be your mindset.  A recent conversation with an impossibly intelligent young lady led to the phrase.  To sum up a hour’s conversation in a few lines;  97.5% of reality will never be proven.  You have no idea what’s happening anywhere, to anyone, at anytime when you’re not actually there.  Chances are good you’ll never find out.  So why anticipate Read more

three olives bubble gum vodka review

My fourth of July was explosive.  Not just in the traditional sense.  My fourth of July exploded with pleasure.  From the rooftop view of downtown Denver’s fireworks, to the midnight dip in the (ice cold..YOW!) pool followed by a sensual siesta Read more

why “the secret” won’t work for you

(Because you’re impatient).  Tada!  End of story.  Okay, I’ll say just a bit more.  Thinking about my life right now, and over the last few years I’ve discovered something.

I don’t know if I’d call it “the law of attraction” or “the secret” or just “deciding on your wildest dreams and then making them come true”.  Whatever you call it, it Read more

the best gift in the world

Asking for advice is like going to an asian massage parlor.  It’s not something you’re proud of, it’s a bit risky, and then you cum.  Uh, maybe they’re not that similar.  Anyway, I get asked for advice all the time.  Usually, by girls.  One question that comes up alot is “what should I get him for his birthday / christmas / parole party”?

In reflecting on my own gift giving over the last Read more

not a good look for you

Quick tip for the ladies; “lumpy” is not a good look for you.  If this particular adjective describes your current physique, might I suggest a visit to the gym?  Perhaps skipping a meal or five?

Might I also suggest you avoid the 16th street mall during my smoke breaks?

Quick tip for the gentlemen; “ten months pregnant” is not Read more

super apparent suicide

People are killing themselves.  Not just the noose danglers.  The gun barrel wranglers.  The ledge leapers.  Most people.  Your people.  You.  You’re killing yourself by fighting the Super Apparent.  What’s the Super Apparent?  The Super Apparent is the uber-obvious.  The things that make perfect sense.  The ones that add up.  If ignoring a good ‘hunch’ is like missing the forest for the trees, ignoring the Super Apparent is like speeding towards a brick wall, eyes open, gas pedal to the floor.  It’s idiotic, and you probably do it every day.  I know I do.

The Super Apparent (”SA”) comes in two flavors.  The good, and the bad.

The SA bad is something you know isn’t good for you, but you continue to do anyway.  A relationship you know is poison.  A job that bores you.  A substance you Read more

the disciplined and the debauched

It takes a lot to intrigue me.  I live a life blessed with a variety of interesting characters.  I know artists and entrepreneurs, inventors and entertainers, go-go dancers and kung fu masters.    Still, there is one girl in my life who absolutely mesmerizes me.  She knows a secret I desperately want to learn.
