Dave Pollard asks:
Close your eyes, and imagine. Five years, ten years from now. What are you doing? Who are you?
Hmm. Gotta think about that one. Meanwhile, what about you?

It’s all crap. I feel like crap and I look like crap. Yesterday after Christmas dinner, I farted FOUR freaking times in front of the in-laws [Robby's girlfriend's parents, might as well call 'em in-laws, they will be soon enough.] We all made a joke of it but I was very embarrassed, of course, because [...]

With some patient help from the folks at Wordpress forums, we’re back in business here at Bornfamous–thank Moshu! Because believe it or not, I’ve been busy working on a project that I’d like to tell you about.
“Stalking the Beast: How King Kong SUPER-SIZED Hollywood” was written by Kathleen Sharp, a hard-working reporter who covers California [...]

thinks are not good a chez bornfamous… wordpress is acting all screwy so I installed the new beta version. nerve-wracking, to say the least!

It’s starting to smell really good around here. I love turkey! And cranberries, and stuffing, and mashed potatoes… yum.
Oops–better get cleaning. What a dump!

Sorry for the constantly changing design around here. I love the layout but can’t seem to decide on a color scheme or graphics that I like. It’ll settle down eventually… until I get sick of it again. Maybe I’ll change the colors according to the season and holiday. A Thanksgiving theme would be nice right [...]

I’ve been spinning my wheels for weeks now, fruitlessly trying to figure out how to make money at blogging. I’ve been searching the web for a solution to the one puzzle no one can solve but me: what should I blog about? All the rest is easy. There’s no mystery about it: you put your [...]

There’s nothing like unremitting pain to motivate you to do what’s good for you. Or not. My chronic pain over the years has led me to do the opposite–that is, sitting and lying around waiting for the pain to go away. Which, of course, just makes it worse. Duh.
I need to get motivated. I [...]

I just found this great Wordpress theme at Squible and couldn’t resist giving it a spin. I love the way it breaks out of the usual two or three-column blog mold, yet is still easy to navigate. I still need to customize the colors and add some graphics, but I think this is a keeper.

I don’t know when they did it, but the folks at CBS Sunday Morning have decided, in their infinite wisdom, to cut the end-of-show nature video from a luxurious 30-second spot to a pathetic ten seconds. I got so incensed about it that I emailed a complaint. I didn’t even get the courtesy of an [...]

I dreamt that Charlize Theron had a huge wart on her nose…but she refused to have it removed because it’s part of who she IS.

And we all bought into it.

Even Oprah said it yesterday: “I have this feeling that something is wrong.” She was talking about global warming, but it sent a chill down my spine to realize that the uneasiness I’ve been feeling for a long time about our world–environmentally, politically and economically–has filtered up so far.
And now, it’s conservative columnist Peggy Noonan:
Our [...]

And the anchorman said: “A 61-year-old celebrity poses nude. Who it is, and where you can see it, coming up.”
Oh, wait–that’s why I’m watching the news, to find out who it is. So who’s lower, them or me?
Update: So of course, they’re making us wait ’till the end of the show. Bastards. It’s Lauren Hutton. [...]

Ouch: Python Bursts After Eating Gator

Note to self: remember this when Thanksgiving rolls around.

A catastrophe is a huge opportunity for us to learn to help each other as equals, for people suddenly free of jobs and cars and television to rediscover their aliveness, to come together and build something beautiful.
