I have wanted a lime green Twinkie bus since I was a kid, and we sold our old one.

:( RIP, Twinkie bus.

Getting old means having less time left. Less time to spend with bad habits, old grudges, and other life shorteners. More time under your belt also means perspective, which adds urgency and vigilance where needed, and more importantly, removes it from where it need not be.

I like getting old. I still dance and…

It does seem like a waste to burn it, unless it was powering something...

What do you do with a 15 ton lump of stinky shit fat with other stuff stuck in it?

My son is a quarter black, looks like a white kid. Still identifies as black. Hears amazing shit that would never be spoken aloud in front of me. I feel for him. It's a different kind of suck. Similar, but not the same to being told that your light skin somehow makes you "better" or "prettier".

God, I wanted to fucking…

Why are the half-blacks always called half-blacks, and never half-whites?

Once you understand the answer to that question, you might understand why no half-black/half-white person in the history of ever has thought they've "owned" the term "bi-racial". It's just been the go-to media description for our types.

It's…

OMFG. Out with my white husband at a coffeehouse next door to where we were doing laundry in a white hippie part of the hood. White lady comes up to me and just cold asks me if I'm "canvassing for Obama".

Nah, doll, I live around here, too.

You know what? This kid is like me, my parents are mixed the way the kid's are. I am 40ish. I don't remember seeing an interracial family like this in a commercial ever. White folks don't understand how important it is to see positive portrayals of people like yourself in the media.

"amen, debit cards are for folks with zero discipline."

Rich kids usually carry around plastic and not cash. Best you could hope for is a grip of better drugs than you're used to, or a sweet new phone when you do that.

Do you think women should be cops, even if you think it won't make a difference?

I can't tell you how ok I am with bad attitudes and creep asshole behavior being roundly mocked. Plus, the added bonus of the technological wizardry of warning other people who might not be on OK Cupid and those kinds of places to beware these guys. Society is better for shunning this sort of thing. Seriously.

If I had to write something important in Chinese, I would definitely get someone else to proofread me. Maybe the circumstances were no different?

Urusei Yatsura was my first "real" anime, other than the Saturday morning Marine Boy and Speed Racer stuff they had on in the 1970s. I watched my first episode on a bootleg tape back in 1989... a year before I left high school.

I had two moms back in the 1980s south of the Mason Dixon line. I feel ya.

My s.o. and I have a theory. We're too poor anymore. Going out to eat crappy shit all the time is less viable now than it was in the nineties back when we had more discretionary income. That, and we walk every-goddamned-where now since it's just too expensive to have a car in the city. $4 a gallon? Shit, we'll just…

It's neither feasible to pay $2.25 during rush hour for a bus, nor to drive (were I to have a car) for only .8 miles. And since I like to dilly dally in the mornings, I gotta walk fast. And I'm just as eager to get home. My BMI is 22 and were I to quit smoking, I'd be a brick house.

CHANCE HARPER!!! Now there's a League guy worth his salt.
