My Unpopular Opinion and My Comeuppance

December 13, 2018 by acrockofschmidt Leave a Comment

We live in an era where the secret to popularity is being unpopular.  Need I trot out the President of the United States as proof?  The man is president precisely because he is unpopular.  It’s what made him popular.  There is a sizable portion of the electorate whose sole motivation for voting a particular way […]

My Life Is A Song #108

December 7, 2018 by acrockofschmidt Leave a Comment

So much of this series is grounded in my past.  Makes sense, I guess.  I mean, it would be pretty incredible for me to relate a musical yarn from the future, unpublished song included.  I’m nostalgic, not magical.  But there is a pronounced bias in my writing towards my distant past, and that concerns me.  […]

Where Are All The Women Repairmen?

September 28, 2015 by acrockofschmidt 1 Comment

If pornography has taught us one thing, besides the fact that women can be brought to orgasm by practically anything, it’s that lonely housewives and unsuspecting repairmen are the gin and tonic of carnal impropriety.  Separately they are bitter, distasteful substances but put them together and panties are definitely coming off.  I’ll offer up daytime […]

The Greatest Day of My Life!

September 1, 2015 by acrockofschmidt 4 Comments

Today is, unequivocally, the greatest day of my life.  My first instinct was to qualify that remark with a spineless “thus far” but the greatness of this day sets the benchmark pretty damn high.  Yes, events on some future day might surpass today in greatness but the odds are thinning as rapidly as the once […]
