How To Avoid Death on the Roadways

Wed Oct 13, 2010 11:51 AM EDT

I suffer from road aggression. Not road rage, aggression. Road rage is classified by actually DOING something like cutting people off, driving like a total maniac or actually killing someone.

The Night's Rebirth…An Ode to Vampires

Thu Sep 23, 2010 1:47 PM EDT

I left my house late last night To walk to the neighborhood park When came upon me a shocking fright Out of the dreadful dark Its face was ghastly, white as paste Fangs so long and deadly I turned to flee, to make haste

Please Don't Read This Article

Thu Sep 16, 2010 5:59 PM EDT

You’re not going to like it. It’s all about love and hope and friendship and compassion and understanding and forgiveness. See? I told you so. No one likes those things anymore. I guess they’re boring and out of date.

The Nature of Hate

Wed Sep 8, 2010 3:07 PM EDT

Republicans hate Democrats. Christians hate Muslims. And Jews and non-Christians and gays. Muslims hate Americans. Americans hate Big Business, Big Oil, Big Brother, terrorists, taxes and traffic. Kids hate their parents and homework. Dogs hate cats. Cats hate mice.

Music Soothes the Savage Viner

Thu Sep 2, 2010 8:29 PM EDT

The drive home from work today got me thinking about music. I love music. Not all of it mind you. But most of it. If I couldn't have it in my car I might go insane. I need to sing while I drive. And smoke. But that's a different article altogether. I belt it out when I drive.

God Is Stupid

Mon Aug 30, 2010 2:56 PM EDT

I’ve been giving a lot of thought to the biblical belief that we humans were made in God’s image. If that’s the case how do you account for our less than perfect behaviors? Take for instance the seven mortal sins:

I Chose To Be Gay!

Wed Aug 25, 2010 12:21 PM EDT

So I made the choice to be gay. I figured what the hell? They’re getting all these extra rights these days. Sounds like a good deal. And having sex with another man? No big thing. I’ll adapt.

Buffy vs. Bella: Would You Let Your Daughter Date A Vampire?

Fri Aug 20, 2010 11:53 AM EDT

I love vampires. I can’t help it. I’ve loved them since I first read “Salem’s Lot” by the great Mr. Stephen King when I was 10 years old. They’re scary, yet sexy. Powerful, yet vulnerable. And the women they seduce are just like us.

Love, love, love your articles/comments! You have a great knack for writing. :)
— Jerseygirl1978

I very much enjoyed your comments on the article I wrote about Vampires, so I came to check you out and started reading some of your articles/seeds, which I enjoyed. Imagine my surprise, when I see quite a few articles you wrote about Vampires too! Looks like we have some things in common, in addition to both of us being from New Jersey, which is a good start to any friendship, so thought I'd invite you to Vampires, Werewolves & Zombies and I sent you a friend request too! Hope to chat more with you... :)

You have an eternal friend in me because of your article on hatred. I have FB recommended it. You are a very wise person!

POaks, really enjoying your posts and comments here on the Vine!

Love your comment about being "tired of smoking being demonized". I know it's bad for me and other people, and I never smoke around non-smokers. I don't even mind not being able to smoke anymore on planes, in bars and restaurants, and swimming pools - cuz my whole wardrobe doesn't reek of smoke.

But there are SO MANY other things that are as bad or worse for us (e.g., bullets) that get glorified in our culture and in the media. Can we start with that stuff?

Sorry - I think this is too long for for this comment area. Feel free to delete it. Email me if you want to chat longform.
