Our journeys are filled with chances Doorways to not now Some taken, some ignored, some slammed Some never noticed Until the clarity of time reveals the miss Is it fair, at this point, any point To wonder about the branches Ponder the paths pursued and passed What slipped away on a random day Swirling into […]
Note: This is a flashback post from our first trip to Spain, years ago. Hopefully, the statute of limitations has run out on any crimes that we may have committed… We’re still traipsing around the Andalusian countryside, avoiding any degree of responsible behavior as well as local authorities, so I don’t have quite the time […]
Gary, left: “Is that someone at the door? Are you expecting anyone?” Ann, right: “Of course not. I have no idea who it is. And I didn’t sleep with the vacuum cleaner salesman.” Gary: “That seems like a lot of information to share when a simple ‘no’ would have been sufficient.” Ann: “I’m sorry, dear. […]
Clark, left: “Okay, are you ready to do this scene?” Jean, right: “I think so. But can I say that you really look a lot hotter here than you will in that Gone with the Wind mess you’ll make in a few years?” Clark: “Of course you can say that. I love myself. Why would […]
“The only thing that can possibly explain this scene is the now-empty enormous coffee cup in the lower right…” Suddenly, someone stomped into my home office. I cannot name this person because said person is one of those family members who does not care to be mentioned in my stories. I’d give this person a […]
We start out with brief shots of a fancy statue, lead singer Darren, some woman hopping off a train and running away like she’s done something naughty, and an impatient man checking his watch while looking darkly handsome. Then we’re back to Darren walking down a street and bursting into song, because that’s something that […]
We start out with a close-up of a billiards ball falling into a side pocket, which could mean absolutely anything, so this is already a tricky video. The camera pans up and then slowly zooms over the pool table so we can see one of The Cars sitting in the distance. We appear to be […]
We start out with lead singer Rob screwing around with a model airplane, using one hand to make it fly over and around the coffee table. (The other hand appears to be busy doing something else, but we won’t really go there.) Then we get a close-up of Rob and that haircut I never understood […]
Okay, we start off in some penthouse living room where people are sitting around and watching- Whoops, now we’re not there anymore. Suddenly, we’re in some type of aircraft and the pilot is either drunk or just very confused as we zip dangerously close to tall buildings in a large city. Then we start seeing […]
Preliminary Note: Just before watching this for the first time, I noticed a YouTube comment from somebody claiming “the fish eating the boat is the best part!”. What the hell? What am I getting into with this one? We start out with the camera focused on an old phonograph, with somebody getting ready to […]

And, of course, my twisted mind immediately thinks… hmmm… “Holler Escondido” would a great character name in a psychological thriller set in a small Arizona town.. 😉

She’s thinking of that sweet, sweet, sterling-silver syringe that she got from Sears & Roebuck…she clearly shot some smack before the photo-shoot! Now, she’s wanting more…

LOL! She’s clearly been doing something that she really shouldn’t have. Or at least she didn’t do whatever it was the RIGHT WAY… 😉
