Why is a shit house rat so busy? What, exactly, is he so damned busy doing? I’ve always pondered that… But I reckon it’s an answer I don’t want to stumble upon while eating my morning granola bar – which is what I find myself doing now. It’s a hippy breakfast for certain, but ever [...]

The Jalopy Journal #2
She woke me up with ghastly news. I sat up quickly, groping around on the bed for something to smash. ”No!” I shouted. “That’s impossible!” She shook her head. “I heard it on the world wide web. It must be true.” ….. A recent emergency survey of our field sources indicates a firestorm of lunacy [...]
The Jalopy Journal Release Party
Creating this book has been a nightmare of paranoid blunders and the kind of small humiliations that haunt one for many months afterwards. The very idea of publishing something in print makes very little sense given who I am and what I do, but sometimes an idea gets ahold of you and there is no [...]

A buddy of mine sent over the above image early last week. His timing was impeccable. I don’t know any specifics regarding the photo or the car, but I see a hard working man with a flair for flash. Only a man with a good comprehension for lines would stand so proudly next to the [...]
The Twenty-Third Of June
It’s official. On the twenty third of June, we will be hosting a release party for Issue #2 of The Jalopy Journal in print. Man, did that feel weird to type. In fact, I never really thought I would type anything close to that. Ever. Certainly not in a serious manner anyhow… And that sort [...]
Spreading The Gospel…
He sat on the hard wooden pew and wiped his brow nervously. Despite his best efforts, a bead of sweat rolled down his cheek. Never before had he felt so trapped, so confused, or so conflicted. In front of him sat a family of four dressed in their best Sundays. Behind, a little old lady [...]
