Wear Clean Draws  (because there’s 5 million ways to kill a ceo)

my apologies for having no updated content. i really don’t have much time for this these days. but, my fractured coccyx is still a bit of a pain, so i’m not yet back into the full schedule of biking and Mr. Rope Trainer!
So, who are you people and why the fuck is screeching bag lady […]

wah wah wah. I know. I have a lot of nerve ignoring this place only to show up after months and let off giant steaming pile of rantage! I have been laid up with a cold, off the bike and out of the gym, and thus way more time on my hands even in spite […]

had to throw in the towel and unsub from lbo. this one thread bugged me, though. apparently, real artists are the ones who pursue their art no matter what. if they drop out and quit, apparently they aren’t real artists.
what a load of horseshit! more on that later, i just want to post this so […]

Oooops! I may be plagiarizing there. Whatev. I’ve been quite irked of late to read a lot of dismissals of theory and ideology, as if to say that asshattery and shitbagginess are caused by commitment to a political theory or ideology. I’m an ideologue and I am proud. Indeed, pretty much every single person […]

love this blog i stumbled over: Pervocracy

this was also originally published a few years ago, 2007-01-01 00:51:11
reposted for archival purposes. It’s actually a repost of something written for the Bad Subjects zine by an anonymous writer. Don’t know if it’s still online but the link to the old issue is included below.
Dedicated to RenEv, you spitfire, you. heh.
Actually, the title is, […]

i did my first critical mass ride tonight and I’m unbelievably stoked. I rode 22.5 miles today, between my five mile round trip to work, and the 17.5 mile critical mass ride.
it was totally completely absolutely awesomely cool!
also, if you think, as I did, that underarmour clothing is a gimmick, it’s not. I just bought […]

me: […] the concern about the tax burden on the middle class - I don’t get it.

grumble grumble grumble
i have been itching to get my hands on a keyboard so I can type into an input field and gripe about a few of my least favorite things these days.
Number one is the artisanal class. These are probably what would be called yups or hipsters. They are people that make a godamned […]

i’m just not a writer who works from a thesis. i don’t know what i want to say when i start out. i work in pastiche or some shit. when i’m done, i don’t have any driving idea that’s guiding me. between “beginning” and “ending” there’s a whole bunch of shit in between and it […]

I had wanted to stay directly on Ocracoke. Alas, I couldn’t find a place as cheap at the place on Hatteras Island — 600$ for a week - and that included pool table, swimming pool, ginormous hot tub, game room, media center, and just off the ocean with an ocean view. On Ocracoke, prices are […]

we’ve returned from vacationing on the Outer Banks - got a really sweet deal on a rental house just off the ocean, but not ON it, since last year I rented a place that was practically IN the ocean. Since there was a hurricane/nor’easter, I couldn’t sit on the deck because I was constantly being […]

*rolls eyes to back of head*
good grief. i get back from vacation and get to read romaniticizing bullshit about breastfeeding on the loblist! capitalist pigs hate breast feeding, yanno? coz it combines pleasure, sex, and food and that combination is subversive, doncha know. ferfucksake!
when i was little, i used to sit near my mother’s feet […]

this was so damn spot on, i couldn’t believe it. Ruthless Critic, who reads LBO and will send stuff to people offlist (I guess b/c he’s not subsribed)., sent me the link. He’s from India, here in the States as a student - from what he’s said. Anyway, one day he sent me this […]

I want to write, individually, to everyone who has helped me, been willing to talk about the call for commentary itself, who took the time to do a careful reading and make awesome stylistic suggestions (I’m looking at you Chuckie!).
For now, it’s going to be a group hug, a collective thanks.
Throughout this project, […]

if you want to read the password protected posts, just spell dude the shagalicious way. if you can’t remember, ping me at shag AT cleandraws.com. it’s not a big dark secret, it’s just that this is for publication and i have no clue if i’d be violating copyright by publishing at a blog first.

There is no excerpt because this is a protected post.

19 more days ’til I’m going to be in the Outer Banks, vacating. I’ll be there for a week and then go to see Sonshine and Starshine. I’m so excited!
As with last vacation, tell me what to read!
I’ve got half the article written and I can tolerate what I’ve written. The rest, I […]

since today is shameless belly button lint day, i must tell you about my bionic nails. i have never been one to actually have nails of any sort of presence. the onlly time i had nails was when pregnant. they were strong.
otherwise, they are too weak. crack easily, chip, peel, etc. never mind nail […]

i’m so bad. i’m delighted to have the house to myself for 8 whole days! it’s not a happy reason that R is gone: his dad just got out of the hospital. But i’m so bad because when I learned he’d go there for over a week, I was happy to be alone!
i just went […]

looking for something in the archives of the old blog. i’m thinking i’d like to eventually teach a course for the workers justice center we are getting off the ground here. i want to call the class: your employer hates you. i knew i had used that phrase before, so i looked it up and […]

Are you up at midnight reading some wanker on a mailing list? Are you wondering why you’re sitting in your underwear holding a hammer and sickle? Do you ever ask yourself, is this *not* my wonderful house? my beautiful wife?
On those occasions, you may just find it difficult to find the words to convey ostentatious […]

btw, one of the things I heard in this conversation about boycotts which prompted me to ask about historical analyses of the effectiveness of boycotts was this.
Well, to set it up. We were discussing concrete activities we could do now. Things to accomplish. Everyone had to name just one small thing we, as a group, […]

I went to the the closing ceremony for non-violence activities in honor of Martin Luther King tonight. It’s part of an area nonviolence group’s initiative to raise non-violence awareness. The activities begin on Martin Luther King’s birthday and end on the anniversary of his assassination.
A fellah I will call Walter invited me when I […]

in person interview with … very large publication in NYC! Very excited!
