To Vincent Terry, My Father.
Wild, outgoing, sometimes and asshole, a great man to have in your corner (when you're in a corner), wayward, quick-tempered and very. very funny. It's sad that my dad and I are nothing alike. Thank you pop for being the man who decided I should take the bus by myself at 8. And thanks for following me for 2 weeks when I started. I owe a ton for my mother's gentleness and a ton to my father's calluses. Happy Fathers' Day, Vincent Terry. You are are the reason I insist on all three names.

Best Quote: He must have a horseshoe up his ass.

WOMEN'S MARCH (#YESALLWOMEN)

It's that time again!!!  # FBF  of  # AMERICANHISTORYMONTH . This photo gallery is brought to you by my mother and called...  # WOMENSMARCH !! It took me along time to write this... pardon me if I say something stupid. Feminine is a funny Word. I cannot define the phenomenon of feminine, for it is neither my place nor my aim... but I like it. For many reasons in many ways, always. In some societies it is softness. The wilting flower. The tender petals. In some cultures it is rubenesque. In some thin. Sometimes Athena, sometimes Oshun....  blah blah blah. But... Quick Tale: When I was growing up, I had a diverse array of friends of all light frequencies. And I never thought much of it. Once I had a conversation with my mother about how she sometimes felt uneasy around groups of white men and women. I found this weird, as my mom's friends were also Bennetton-ad-esque. She pointed out to me that her difficulty with Whit...

First Nights in Company Housing

The problem with staying in hotels is that every once in awhile you remember that someone, many people have had sex on the bed upon which you rest your head while watching Netflix. The truly awful thing about corporate apartments is that all of those people have faces. Clear, wholesome, smiling faces. And while you imagine them these faces tell corny jokes about healthy relationships and give sh itty innuendos to their partners... whose faces I also recall in detail. Then I consider that they probably did some trail running or rock dancing (offbeat) just before they did it...probably in the middle of the day or at like 7 before they went out for sushi or something involving Quinoa. It haunts me at night... I'm so fucking tired.

On the NYT Book review... FUCK "OUR" "BLUE COLLAR" OUTRAGE!

I can completely understand that the reaction of many to what I have to say may make me sound like a turncoat, but "We need to talk about Kevin". But several facebook friends posted this and I had to get in on this. for those who haven't read this hilariously brave review (Chicagoans is crazy about Chicago!) see below. http://www.nytimes.com/2013/04/21/books/review/the-third-coast-by-thomas-dyja-and-more.html?pagewanted=all&_r=0 Interesting read. I wanted to comment on this because the jingoism associated with the "BLUE-COLLAR type of town" mentality is simply no longer true, belies our citizens' (righteous, in my opinion) own cries of inequality, and the evidence supported by the empirically measured migration rate and anecdotal listing as a city only less miserable than Flint, Detroit and Rockford (GODDAMN!)  Chicago has a history of deep deep segregation, isolation, nepotism, cronyism and political/slanted rhetoric (where "Windy" comes...
