The Disney Corporation is 100

Posted on October 16, 2023 by Steve

And much like its creator, Walt Disney, the corporation is an edacious entity known for screwing over the working people and taxpayers while trying to present itself as some force for good. Not sure if Walt and his brother were … Continue reading →

RIP Suzanne Somers

Posted on October 16, 2023 by Steve

Quite a bummer to see Suzanne pass. She was definitely one of the pretty women I first noticed as I was morphing into a Tweener! Many will mock her passing as being the spokesperson for the Thighmaster via numerous late-night … Continue reading →

Maybe this is why they’re retiring

Posted on October 15, 2023 by Steve

Devo is on a farewell tour and it’s sad to see them leave, especially with original members Bob Casale and Alan Myers passing about a decade ago. However, given Mark and Gerald’s mindsets, they’re more likely to quit while they’re … Continue reading →

My Stars lose their 2023 opener

Posted on October 14, 2023 by Steve

But it’s still better than no hockey is the old cliché. At least we only lost by one despite being behind or tied the whole time. It’s going to be a rough season too. Most of the great players who … Continue reading →

Shame on Texas’ politicians…if they still feel it

Posted on October 13, 2023 by Steve

I would love to waste some time being on a debate show so I can point out how fucking stupid pundits and “journalists” are. I’m not necessarily smarter or the type who does their own research, believe me, I have … Continue reading →

Something more Italian to celebrate today!

Posted on October 12, 2023 by Steve

I finally caught up with Austin’s Conversational Italian club! It was at Kick Butt Coffee of all places. They gathered somewhat early (before noon) to have breakfast, converse and to see Lorenzo Vignando (above) perform with his ukulele and promote … Continue reading →

I’m on a package!

Posted on October 11, 2023 by Steve

Jennifer brought home this product with my surname (cognome in Italian) on it! I’m quite popular in Mexico, Switzerland and India! Fucking Nestle owns maggi.com too. Anyway, her son Mason is undergoing surgery over the weekend so he’ll be on … Continue reading →

Most insulting thing to our ancestors since GEICO ads!

Posted on October 10, 2023 by Steve

This photo from a French museum is not a prank done with Adobe Photoshop! It’s a real mannequin depicting a Neanderthal woman. I checked other sources, be grateful you only see “her” from the neck up. The resemblance to a … Continue reading →

Abbott calls third session to destroy education

Posted on October 9, 2023 by Steve

It’s the same old story in every state with the Republicans and shitty Democrats. The bait-and-switch plan to destroy public education, yet it’s in the Texas constitution somewhere. With our crooked and inept AG ‘acquitted’ for his ham-fisted behavior, because … Continue reading →

The Good Shepherd

Posted on October 8, 2023 by Steve

Robert DeNiro’s demonstration that he can direct a story-by-numbers via this incredibly inaccurate yet fictional story on the CIA’s infancy. Being a fanatic of History, a stickler for accuracy and having an above average knowledge (for an American) of America’s … Continue reading →

A very sick cat!

Posted on October 7, 2023 by Steve

When they’re not murdering birds, bugs and small mammals, cats can be pretty funny losing their dignity. Probably a farm cat who’s accustomed to all the chickens and chicks being unafraid.

RIP Dick Butkus

Posted on October 6, 2023 by Steve

What a pisser! At least I got the opportunity to meet Dick in Las Vegas some years ago and best of all, get an autographed photo for my ex-roomie and great friend Paul! He was a class act the whole … Continue reading →

Kaitlin is a friend I see around Austin, often at comedy shows, some concerts and the two RenFaires we have! She and her husband are awesome! Every year, Kaitlin showcases a new costume every day of October. M.U.S.K.D.O.K. driving Twitter … Continue reading →

I didn’t get either rotation/thingy

Posted on October 4, 2023 by Steve

Before you go “Awww…” and whatever. It’s not that big of a deal. There’s the upside, namely making all the sweet, sweet overtime I can rake in during the Holiday periods coming up in the US. The one I really … Continue reading →

Check out my latest Final Cut Pro work!

Posted on October 3, 2023 by Steve

This was originally shot at Dragon’s Lair which I thought was the appropriate venue but there was too much background noise when the Magic or Pokemon tournament got rollin’. Dubbing over wasn’t working out because I had ad libbed the … Continue reading →
