I’ve been in a foul ass, irritable, slippery slope of up and down and frankly even I’m sick of it. Nothing’s triggered it, I’m not upset about anything in particular, and I’ve had a lot of things ... http://randomscreaming.com/blog/?p=214 It’s me again. Told you I was going to be getting back into the spirit of things. So, a lot has happened, and as I attempt to make this a virtual reboot of where I rant and rave and talk a lot about people who bitch and complain about not ... http://randomscreaming.com/blog/?p=201 It's been awhile. Sorry about that. A lot has happened since I've last dawned these pages. I grew up a lot. Got smarter. Pushed myself. Stopped worrying about insignificant things. I read a lot. Took a lot of pictures. Thought about what's going on the world, and had my house ... http://randomscreaming.com/blog/?p=195 [gallery] Hi there. It’s been a while, I know, and I apologize for that.

It’s a fairness issue. About what’s right and wrong, and what’s fair and just.  People are pissed and upset and if you think that ... http://randomscreaming.com/blog/?p=171 All things considered, I honestly didn’t expect the feedback, emails, and comments I got from yesterday’s post. To everyone that took the time to read and pass along his or her wishes, I thank you. I was driving into work, mad and irritated about the Prop 8 voting results and ... http://randomscreaming.com/blog/?p=170 Dear Mom, Today’s a tough day for me. If you were here, you wouldn’t believe what just happened. Never in my life did I think I’d have someone like Barack Obama leading this country. I know we have it good here, mama, better than people in a lot of other places, ... http://randomscreaming.com/blog/?p=169 I don’t have to tell how important and historic a day like today is. Far more talented people have and can say it more eloquently and in ways that will put me to shame. Whatever the results are of today’s election, people have gotten more involved. Whether it was due ... http://randomscreaming.com/blog/?p=168 It hit me the other day. I was active in yet another social media/networking site, this one called Friendfeed (that I really love, btw), and I read a post from a guy who’s around my age, married with a couple kids, doing fine with his career, and come across as ... http://randomscreaming.com/blog/?p=167
