“Where do you want this?” the muscle-bulging Huck Finn’s Warehouse moving man asked me, and if I didn’t answer him in 5 seconds or less, the bookshelf in his Ferrigno-sized hands might crash to the floor. “Put it over there,” I replied. “I’ll move it later.” “You got it,” he said, as he gingerly placed…

K-Chuck Radio: My Sweet Lord’s So Fine…
My friend Laura sent me a link to a story about what seems to be a simmering feud between Madonna and Lady Gaga over the similarities between Madonna’s hit “Respect Yourself” and Lady Gaga’s hit “Born This Way.” Trust me. Both those songs sound similar enough to the point where someone could interpret either a…

It’s Tuesday night, and I’m so bored right now, even grass growing outside my door would be exciting. And when I’m bored… I start getting “modification” ideas. I’m not a person who just lets something exist for the sake of its existence. I’ll re-paint it, I’ll re-leather it, I’ll do something to it that changes…
Read More“No Taco Bell for you!!”
The people of Bethel, Alaska were fooled by an evil and cruel hoax. And Taco Bell was used as the bait – even though the company had no idea what had happened. Bethel, Alaska has a population of about 6,000 people. Among the Alaskan bush towns, it’s pretty big. It’s also pretty desolate, and since…

I have a good “photographer / model” relationship with my friend Lauren. She’s willing to pose for any photos I need, and she gets TFP – “time for prints.” And as I started going over my pictures for competition season, I had an idea for a photograph that would make people do a double-take –…
Read More“Caucasians Only” – for a movie survey???
This is not a fiction piece. This is a true story and it happened to me last Saturday. While doing my usual Saturday errands, I stopped at Crossgates Mall for a little walk-around exercise. A couple of laps around the upper and lower flowers of the mall makes for some great low-impact health benefits. Oh…

Terry Wallis didn’t want to come back. Not now. Not for this. But the nightmares of what happened nearly forty years ago were still haunting him. Haunting him over and over, the whispers and the screams and the fists and the traumas. He thought it was all done. He thought he was gone. He thought…

Friday morning. Brilliant sunshine. Birds tweeting in the air. And I’m off for my morning commute downtown – and as I approach my parked 2005 Saturn Ion, I notice that my car’s left front tire is low on air. Yep. The same left front tire that got punctured last month. <looking for a wall to…
Read More“Rock of Ages” and other jukebox musicals
At some point in time this weekend, I’ll go see Rock of Ages, the new jukebox musical based on the hard rock and heavy metal hits of the 1980’s. Maybe not so much for the acting – jukebox musicals are rarely about the acting – but instead for the song interpretations and how well they…

Well, I guess December 2015 came a lot faster than expected. Backstory. Earlier this week, a friend of mine told me he had upgraded his phone and was no longer using his BlackBerry. “Do you want it?” he asked me. “It’s all paid for and everything, it just needs a factory wipe.” Now mind you,…
