Creative Psychosis

At the beginning of June, a small orange tree was imported from Florida to New York. Thanks to vacuum sealing, the little tree made the airplane trip without injury. It seemed destined to thrive in the humid New York weather of summertime. The tree was given as a gift to a loved one.
The small orange […]

Same as yesterday, last month, last Christmas, or five years ago. Same same same as I walk through the entrance as Grand Central. Same flow of human traffic around me, although always different faces. I weave and dodge to the pulse of the earbuds pounding something aggressive. Down my shortcut stairs, across the platform looking […]

This is the joke. This is the joke. Adjacent to life with nothing but laughing at his own failures. The faulty plug that causes the car to explode on a routine drive to buy beer and cigarettes and lottery tickets. Fixes for the broken machine that is the creative man. Fixes that were meant to […]

At last, we’re back on the blogosphere, with a newfound sense of administration.
As it turns out, Blogger was not the mecca of blogdom that it was made out to be. Sure, just about anybody with half a sense of the web can use it. But their customer support is not too great when it comes […]

I’ve only been to Las Vegas twice (in July 2004 and this past week). But it’s enough to make some factualizations about it. In a year’s time, it’s evident that the whole ‘adult playground’ concept has been homogenized enough that every casino is doing just about the same thing to get people to stay there […]

You could call it an utter distortion of the money saving process. But I have my reasoning.
Last night, my fiance and I took all of the spare change we could find to one of those Coinstar machines in the grocery store. While I’m no big fan the whole eight and nine-tenths processing fee, it had […]

I happened to look at my high school yearbook (from 1994) this past weekend. I found it humorous that at the back of the book, there was a color section highlighting the important events from that past year. One such invention that was noted was about the Apple Newton being a revolutionary new device.
I did […]

I bought a blue Apple clamshell-style G3 laptop back in February 2000, and despite the fact that it served me well for 3 years, I had basically decided to retire it about a year and a half ago. It had gone the way of a million obsolete computers before it… processor became antique, RAM was […]

Magic Junk is happy to announce the arrival of our newest product…
As the big brother to the Bite-Size, Acryliture: Deluxe expands on the concept of housing alternative literature inside a hand painted canvas cover. Composed from a wide range of fine art paper (including silver linen, blue vellum, and khaki cover stock), each Acryliture: Deluxe […]

This past Sunday, I purchased an Apple Cinema 20″ Flat-Panel Display which cost me the low low price of $759 including tax and shipping. It was the best deal I could find for it, and although it set me back some cash flow, it was necessary to replace my current monitor which clocks in on […]

I might consider it a sign from a higher power that I was unable to blog for the past three weeks. But of course, that all depends on if such a power is restricted to blogging or if it applies to other things. But let’s not get ridiculous now.
Starting around May 23rd, none of my […]
