Pipes

Posted by Yabu at 08:37 AM
I had a conversation with a *NIX hater last night. She hates Unix and / or Linux…but she can’t explain why. She is a born and bred Windows girl. She will not entertain the thought of anything different from what she is accustomed to. She is a “point and click check-box chick”, and she [...]

Contradiction

Posted by Yabu at 05:17 PM
Years ago, my buddy the Silk Glider and I signed a deal that ended up giving us many stories that we continue to laugh about. More on that later. So after we inked the contract, this guy gave us front row tickets to go see Culture Club. I was all like, “who in the fuck [...]

The Problem With Bookshelves…

Posted by Yabu at 05:21 PM
…is that I have a BUNCH of ‘em. They’re (my books) all in there vertical, and I’m tired of turning my head sideways to read the title. I’m going horizontal. I’m tired of twisting my neck to the left or to the right to read titles. I’m stacking ‘em from here on out. I might [...]

Ineptocracy

Posted by Yabu at 01:39 PM
From the mail bag…I love this word. Ineptocracy (in-ep-toc’-ra-cy) – a system of government where the least capable to lead are elected by the least capable of producing, and where the members of society least likely to sustain themselves or succeed, are rewarded with goods and services paid for by the confiscated wealth of a diminishing [...]

Snowshoes

Posted by Yabu at 08:54 AM
My little buddy Stretch has genetically built in snowshoes. He can run full-blast on top of the white, although he does spin out occasionally. Too damn funny. He can also do the “snow plow”. “Stretch” in Juju speak, translates to “relentless pursuit”. He also has Radar Ears. The thrill of the chase, I think. He [...]

Early To Rise

Posted by Yabu at 09:48 AM
Today is the six month anniversary “of when” the Juju Woman started to swim and run every morning at 5:30 am. Things have changed. I’m up everyday, and I do mean everyday, at 5:00 am. Stretch is up at 5:00 am. His cycle has adjusted. He is “barking-ass hungry” at five. I should rename him [...]

Power Play?

Posted by Yabu at 09:39 AM
Hell if I know, but two aircraft carrier strike groups have arrived in the Arabian Sea, or are on the way. The USS Carl Vinson strike force arrived in the Arabian Sea a few days ago, the USS Abraham Lincoln, and her support, is on the way. The USS John C. Stennis is still there, [...]

The Future Is Unwritten

Posted by Yabu at 07:36 PM
I’ve felt a little pressure lately. This might be a little off center, but they, in my opinion, knock the back out of it. Not bad for some boys from across the pond. Turn it up and dance with me. Here’s another version if you don’t like the Clash.

Best Man

Posted by Yabu at 07:50 AM
I knew instantly, when I looked at the caller ID on my phone, it was going to be a bad one. Time of the call. My best friend, and Best Man when the Juju Woman and I got formally synced up in the eyes of The Maker, has moved on to the next level. He died [...]

Lists

Posted by Yabu at 01:13 PM
These are three lists I would choose. Since they’re off the top of my head, and I really didn’t give ‘em much thought…like I said: fast off the top of my head. Five people I would like to have a nice long dinner with: Leave yours in the comments or post a link. Fun and games is [...]
