Happy Halloween

Scrivenings.net

I have been helping my Whiskerino friend Scrivener set up his new Wordpress stand-alone site.
On the surface things may not appear to be much different compared to the stock theme Scriv selected, but I changed a lot under the hood to get some of the functionality he wanted. The exciting part was being able [...]

A Protest on Blackwater in Moyock, NC

A few days ago some protesters conducted a very creative display of their first amendment rights against the Blackwater security firm in Moyock, NC. Some were dressed and made up as corpses laying about a bloodied car covered with fake bullet holes outside of the Blackwater compound. I originally found the photos on Mosquito [...]

A Real Conversation I Had With My Girlfriend…

…upon leaving Wawa.
Kim: “Did you see that black midget dude buying gas?”
Me: “Yes.”
Kim: “I KNOW him! Well, I don’t know him-know him, but he tried to pick me up at the mall”
Me: “Did you try to pick HIM up?”
Kim: (laughs) “No, you know the rules. Their centers of gravity are too low, NO ONE can [...]

He Ain’t No Sneak

I know, I know. The best thing to do when you dislike someone is to ignore them. Under no circumstances should you blog about it because its like free press.

Am I The Only One?

Who still chuckles to themselves when someone says the words “California Governor, Arnold Schwarzenegger..”
I still refuse to believe its true.

Adventures Of A Big Dumb White Guy

What a great title. I wish what I was about to say was as exciting.
Sometimes I need a break from the coffee served in our office and I take a quick stroll down the street to Daily Grind Unwind in Virginia Beach’s Town Center, the owner of which happens to be Filipina. I believe [...]

I Can’t Explain, Pt. 2

This is an incomplete blog that I have found difficult to finish.
I have spent such a long time constructing my life and my outlook on life around this belief that I was missing some essential ingredient to my childhood that would have made things “all better.” Somehow my parents divorce is burrowed at the center [...]

How do you tell someone that you found gay porn on their kid’s computer?

“So are you making any headway?”
“Yeah. It’s done. I put the PC next to ______’s desk.”
“Oh ok. So what was the problem?”
“Well he just has a lot of…. stuff on it.”
“What kind of stuff.. I mean.. how did it get there?”
“uhm.. he downloaded it. ”
“Yeah, well kids are kids.. but he should know the rules.”
“Uh… [...]

I Can’t Explain

I spoke with my dad yesterday for the first time since I was 6. I hesitate to write about it because I really don’t know how I feel about it all. My thoughts are no doubt fragmented, so I apologize. I am inspired by my friend David, though, and I think that, in true Scrivenings [...]
