Dear Asshole...

Dear Asshole Who Didn't Clean Up After Their Dog,


I don't know what you've been feeding that pet of yours, but it left a pile of human-sized turds in the middle of the sidewalk. Guess what? This isn't Fido's personal toilet, you asshole! It's a public sidewalk and no one in the neighborhhod wants to walk by, inhale, step in, or otherwise interact with his shit. It's time for you to embrace the responsibilites of pet ownnership. Attach some plastic baggies to your hand. Buy yourself a pooper scooper. Anything. Because the next time you fail to clean up after your dog's dump, I'm going to follow you home and smear it on your pillow. Comprende?


Smooches.


PS Cesar Millan called. He said you were an asshole.

Someone stole my idea. Dang! And, it's written by two women! Nice. Hey assholes, next time your write a book, try including page numbers.

The King Who Never Smiles. Buy it. You'll smile.

Just don't blog about it because the Thai government says its "unauthorized" and that you'd be committing a crime by doing so IF you're of Thai origin. You can buy it here. In two related articles, an American-born Taiwanese is jailed for two years and Taiwan's crack-down on the king's online critics.

"Imagine", by Monica Small.

My friend Monica authored and illustrated this children's book, Imagine. Imagine being a child in some far off land where you don't have a bed to sleep in, or food to eat, water to drink - or where you are unloved. Imagine helps to remind children of what they are blessed with while at the same time illustrating that there a many children who aren't as lucky as they.

Left: Imagine in use - sort of.

BREAKING NEWS! My Self-Published Book is Available NOW!

Yeh, so I took my interest in photography to a very cool step, I think - I self-published a book with my favorite "artsy" photos through Blurb.com, "Passion = Truth: A photographic essay of life's truths". I gotta tell you...it was a lot of fun. You choose the layouts, fonts, book style and size, supply the text and photos and Blurb does everything else for you. My preview copy is due here after Thanksgiving and I'm keen to see if the quality is what was advertised. We're talking hard cover with book jacket and quality paper, baby. Based on comments from other users and from the examples I've seen online, I'm hoping to be very impressed. The book is great - what am I gonna say? Like I said, it's an "artsy" look at some of my travels and the pictures I took...I'm very happy with it and that's why I'm putting it out there for anyone to see.

Unfortunately, I can't afford to buy'm up and give'm away. But if you're interested, click on the Blurb badge to the right under Brett Favre's picture - it'll give you a preview of the book and tell you how you can order it. I think it's something like $39.95. Come on - it's worth it. That's expensive for a 52 page book...hmmm. Well that includes a $5 profit for me. What? Starving artist? You may wanna put together your own book - wedding, travel, recipes, photography, poety...the sky's the limit. Look for my review in a more recent post (receive my book copy 11/26). Remember, books make great gifts for the upcoming holiday season. And - reading is fundamental.
