A sort of life

Volume One: Frank's Wild Years (1983--2009)

There are 8 stories in Volume One
  • Exile on a peppercorn

    As I'm sure I've mentioned before, I spent some time in Romania. I lived there, went to school there, spent my pre-adolescent years there.

  • Bimbos make me want to pretend to be a better man

    But I kept thinking about my grandfather fighting in the Pacific when this chick was born. I was turned on and skeezed out at the same time.

  • The needle and the damage done

    Things have loosened up the last few months and so I'm feeling the desire to write creep in again.

  • So buy this fool some spirits and libations

    The year before, the year of the boar, the zodiac of my birth, we'll that year was a doozy.

  • Why chicks don't like me

    Yesterday, in between coffee and going to a movie theater with the parents, I went to an athletic store to buy shoes.

  • The 'Bum Effect'

    It seems that lately I've been fascinated with small things. Seemingly insignificant things.

  • Stick shifts and safety belts

    Who just sits stoically and thinks anyway? I know I've seen it done in the movies, but I can't honestly say I've ever tried it myself.

  • To begin a blog

    I'd like to begin by talking about procrastination. Everyone does it to some extent, but for me, well, I procrastinate like Dave Barry writes.
