Please stay on the line for an important post from…

Benticore.  ME.  Waitwaitwaitdonthangup!
I’ll be back with a better post later this week, but its crunchtime at the old salt mine.  Lots of last minute ‘gotta have it now cause the customer is screaming’ projects orbiting the cube and I’m the only one with a ion cannon big enough to take ‘em down.
Theres a couple of [...]

“…the geek is strong with this one.”

So I was minding my business on a monday morning, sipping my coffee and going through my queue of mail and what not when I happened upon one of my favorite sites, Kung-fu Monkey. He had a link to an article that contains such high levels of star wars geekiness that I had NO [...]

…and the sea called him Master.

So, not ALL of my Hypografia is gone. I can still see the six-sided worlds lurking in the corners of my eyes. If I look hard enough, I’m sure I could find one, but I’m trying NOT to look.
Anyway, I wanted to offer up a little strange piece of musical fiction I came [...]

As the frenzy of Hypografia fades…

I notice my hands are covered in ink. Fevered messages scribbled onto my flesh, black ink mixing with droplets of blood. The urge to spill this mini stories onto any available surface as fast as possible has passed. I’m left, panting, mentally exhausted, and wondering to myself, ‘What kind of fuckery was [...]

Congratulations! You’ve got Hypografia!

You know that part in that one movie, where The Guy has the Thing and if he’d just use some measure of restraint, everything would be okay. But he doesn’t. His character flaw is a lack of good judgement. So he uses The Thing a little. And it’s good. Really [...]

The triumph of ugly

The laughter dies out and we three turn back to our tasks. To my side, Cbabi dips his brush into his primer, layers another stroke of blinding white to the wood and metal chair. His face is focused, though his eyes are only half there. To him, this is less than tedious, [...]

I made a boo-boo…

So I turned off the stupid ‘Gotta register to the site to post a comment’ thing because it was pretty much screwing EVERYBODY.  So you can comment normally now, and I’ll just wearily take up my post at the gate, axe in hand, to defend our soft underbelly of a community from the wild ravages [...]

Something new from Something old…

*UPDATE*
So, since blogger is down, and I didnt really want to change the Furious Silence blog itself (probably shoulda thought of that before I changed and saved it, dadgum!) I’ll be making a new blog (when Blogger is back up that is) that will allow for the posting of the quick hits from the Travelling [...]

Grand Theft Auto: Tales from the South Side

Our neighborhood has a problem. Nestled within the multitude of ancient two-family flats, cobblestone main street, major highway boundary, massive tree-filled park, and family owned corner stores and restaurants, something profoundly disturbing is growing, festering if you will.
Someone is stealing cars. Lots of cars.
You already know about Spoken’s car being jacked, our car [...]

December Perfect post? Seriously?

So I got nominated by Mi Mielita for a Perfect Post for the Month of December. Specifically, it was This post that got the nod. Does it count that my wife was the one to nominate me? I’d say so, because she’s a pretty shrewd judge of character…well, except for that one [...]
