“If you didn’t make it to New Orleans for Mardi Gras this year, here’s some of what you missed in the Marigny and French Quarter. Music is by local legend Mr. Quintron featuring the Oblivians.”
Yep, this seems about right.
Heh. I’m in this video at the 11 second mark.

Not to Get All Church-y, But, Whatever.

We come to you, Father, with Mary our Mother, and ask you to help us in the battle of today against violence, murder and racism. We implore you to...

Lent
Sometime during Carnival last year, I made a religious conversion. I grew up a weird, slightly fundamentalist version of American Protestant, while in adulthood I discovered agnosticism with an atheistic tinge. Last year, though, I decided to convert to the popular religion of my adopted home region—Cultural Catholicism. It began to feel rather selfish (and terrible inconsistent) to...

Great footage of the North Side Skull and Bone Gang, singing in front of Tootie Montana’s house on Mardi Gras morning.
We followed the bone men this same Mardi Gras, as they woke up the neighborhood and warned us: “You better get your life together. Next time you see us, it’s too late to cry.” Listen to the audio here.
North Side Skull and Bones Gang embody what Mardi Gras is...

I Need More Human Interaction
I work from home. Mostly I love it, but sometimes things happen that remind me how nice it is to actually see people during the day. Just now, I was frying up some eggs for breakfast. I looked in the non-stick and realized I put a ton of butter in there.
“That’s too much butter,” I said unto myself.
“Any thinking man knows y’all can never have too much...

Ugh. Mo money, mo problems. →
I lit’rally get sick to my stomach with anxiety at the thought of Marques Colston possibly not being a Saint next year. I’ve never admired and respected a professional athlete as much as I do that man. Hofstra Grad!, Quiet Storm, whatever I feel like calling him that day, he’s the man.
Come to think of it, I get the same feeling about Nicks leaving. Remember how much he loves...

Why is it that some of your posts I am able to reply to and others, not? Anyway. Why the hell you been gone so long. It’s krewe du vieux man!
I don’t know why you can’t reply to some. I’m only semi-literate when it comes to Tumblr — don’t exactly know how things work, I...

“On the field, if I lost a game, I was able to at least find some satisfaction in my effort and level of exhaustion” This is what sport is all about. Putting it all out there, every ounce of physical and mental energy, towards the main goal: winning.
And if you don’t win, at least you left it all out there.

And cats are psychopaths. I love them for it.
I wrote a ton of fiction (all of it shitty and none of it anywhere near published) when I was too poor to have an internet connection at home. The moment I discovered the internet closely correlates to the moment I stopped writing fiction.
Of course, correlation doesn’t equal causation. It also correlates to a brief,...
