WTF IS THIS?

I'm a cranky old fart, writing about bus rides around town, idiots I have known, weird or old movies, and whatever else I feel like writing about.

AN APOLOGY

I've lived my entire life on stolen ground. Nothing can make amends for that, but I respectfully acknowledge and apologize to the 13,000,000 who came before, and were killed because they came before — the Atakapa, Caddo, Chitimacha, Chochenyo, Choctaw, Chumash, Hopewell, Houma, Kansa, Karkin, Kickapoo, Meskwaki, Mississippi, Missouri, Muckleshoot, Muwekma, Natchez, Nisqually, Ohlone, Osage, Otos, Paiute, Potawatomi, Puyallup, Ramaytush, Sauk, Suquamish, Tataviam, Tubatulabal, Tulalip, Tunica, Winnebago, Wyandotte, Yokuts, and especially to the Ho-Chunk people, on whose land I'm living now, an uninvited guest.

My fondest hopes are for world peace, and when my time is up I'd like to die during an orgasm. But I also hope something here made you smile, and you weren't muttering "This guy's a jerk" all the way down.
