When I was born, thirty-ahremeah years ago, there were about 3.7 billion people in the world. The most recent estimates place the population of this planet at 6.725 billion, which means that world’s population has nearly doubled in less than four decades. At our current growth rate we face an imminent Malthusian crisis. Maybe not [...]

Z’s Music Monday: The Rolling Stones – “Exile on Main Street”
The sunshine bores the daylights out of me.
Chasing shadows moonlight mystery.
Headed for the overload,
Splattered on the dirty road,
Kick me like you’ve kicked before,
I can’t even feel the pain no more…
My first memory of The Rolling Stones is one of profound dislike. I’m not saying that I was some sort of music snob child progeny, but [...]
Wait ’til next year!
Sad Dawgs Down Under.
We got skunked.

Update: Bastards!
For reasons that I just do not understand, ESPN in Australia has changed their programming for the day. Rather than showing the Georgia-Alabama game they are now showing Spanish Premier League Football. Spanish. Premier. League. Football.
Yet another reason to hate Australian TV. Before this, I was seriously considering subscribing to Foxtel. Now? Well, they can [...]
Your cadillac has got a wheel in the ditch
Welcome to a new feature here on A Free Man: Deep South Smack Talk
With the SEC Football season moving in to full swing this week, I thought I would give the enemies, er opponents, of my beloved Georgia Bulldogs an opportunity to sing their team’s praises before the Dawgs take them apart. It’s just good [...]
In cold dark places, I dream of Spring
What a difference a day makes, or insert your favorite random cliche regarding the fickleness (fickility?) of time here. After spending the earlier part of this week in the peaceful bliss of fatherhood and idle days of the University break, I was barraged Tuesday afternoon with a slew of frantic e-mail from Job Number 2.

In which I write about something of which I know very little
Always closest to the flame
Ever closer to the blade
I am poison crazy lush
Built these hands to lift me up
We are servants to our formulaic ways
I am not an economist. John McCain and I share a stated lack of understanding about the economy. Hell, I’m not even that good with managing money. So, I’m really the [...]
Moving on so far away and dreaming
Us you and me
River sea ocean
Moving on so far away and dreaming
Quality sea
Mix it to ocean…
When I looked ahead to having the first two days of this week off, I had all sorts of grand plans. I planned to do an insightful blog post on the collapse of American Capitalism. I had penciled in time [...]
Sunday
Makings of a good Sunday:
Georgia 27, Arizona State 10 (11 straight for the Dawgs)
Missouri 42, Buffalo 21
A much deserved Monday and Tuesday off.
Makings of a not-so-good Sunday:
Another trip to the ER. Tonsilitis again. Everyone fine.
