KimSmith/WordSmith: December 2012
http://www.kimwordsmith.com/2012_12_01_archive.html
I hate writing. I love having written." Dorothy Parker "What she said." Kim Smith. This is me, trying to write. Saturday, December 29, 2012. Over the river and through the woods to grandmother's house he goes. If he only didn't have to go over the MOUNTAINS. Concern (as it has become apparent recently that her thoughts/feelings/concerns have little to no effect on his behavior, that they, in fact, penetrate his consciousness not at all. Depends on who you ask, I suppose), heads to the auto parts store to...

KimSmith/WordSmith: What's in a name?
http://www.kimwordsmith.com/2013/10/whats-in-name.html
I hate writing. I love having written." Dorothy Parker "What she said." Kim Smith. This is me, trying to write. Sunday, October 20, 2013. What's in a name? Kimberly Taryn Anne Monica Smith. I was born Catholic. How can you tell? Well, besides the unfortunate (and, frankly, undeserved, at that point. Original sin staining my otherwise pristine soul, there are those "bonus" names. I gots a first name, I gots a middle name, I gots a baptismal and a confirmation name. I have a lot of names. I love my middle ...

Whack-A-Muse: Dick Licker of the Year
http://kelceyjomckinley.blogspot.com/2012/12/dick-licker-of-year.html
Willing to take punches. Monday, December 31, 2012. Dick Licker of the Year. Competition was fierce this year, but edging out Newt Gingrich. Boy Scouts of America. Octomom, Carnival Cruise Line. And Justice Anthony Scalia. For the Dick Licker of the Year award was the Iowa Supreme Court. What happened to holding people personally accountable for their thoughts and feelings? If we set a precedent to blame others- how can we possibly be expected to control ourselves. You and your wife! And you, Iowa Suprem...

Whack-A-Muse: Here We Go Again
http://kelceyjomckinley.blogspot.com/2012/12/here-we-go-again.html
Willing to take punches. Monday, December 10, 2012. Here We Go Again. Every time it hurts me. Every time I feel like throwing a monstrous fit. Every time I wish for change. I recently conducted a medical review over the phone. Perfectly Pleasant Pam asked me my name. Date of birth. Single or married. Oh, boy. Here we go. I sighed. "I guess I have to say single, unfortunately.". Well that's all right," Pam said. I imagined her shifting uncomfortably in her seat. I thought Pam and I were done; we'd had our...

Whack-A-Muse: November 2012
http://kelceyjomckinley.blogspot.com/2012_11_01_archive.html
Willing to take punches. Monday, November 26, 2012. Something unexpected happened over the weekend. Something I assumed would be quite innocent turned out to be an evening-shattering event. At one point my wife and I looked at each other, each wiping streaming tears from our faces, and wondered aloud what was happening to us. One of us had to keep swallowing, her throat burning, to keep from balls-out bawling. There was no coming back from it. If you haven't seen The Muppets. So I took a minute. With tea...

Whack-A-Muse: June 2012
http://kelceyjomckinley.blogspot.com/2012_06_01_archive.html
Willing to take punches. Tuesday, June 5, 2012. Remember when it was considered rude and inconsiderate for men to discuss politics and money in front of women folk because our tiny lady brains couldn’t possibly comprehend checkbooks and voting? It wasn’t that long ago, really. So is it any wonder that a group of swinging dicks want to, once again, tell women what they can and cannot do, especially with their bodies? May your guidance soon lead to this very issue. Sound Logical. Manly. And I dig that shit.

Whack-A-Muse: Open Letter: Rush Limbaugh
http://kelceyjomckinley.blogspot.com/2013/01/open-letter-rush-limbaugh.html
Willing to take punches. Monday, January 21, 2013. Open Letter: Rush Limbaugh. Dear Fat Piece of Shit,. Let's not pretend I'm going to be civil. Being civil with a guy like you is like tying myself to your car and running alongside in good faith you'll not get on the highway. Well this lefty fucking idiot has an idea. I know you're hesitant to hear it, but I promise it's worth reading on. You'll like it. Maybe shoot a couple of rounds from a semi-automatic over the children's heads to help desensitize th...

Whack-A-Muse: Off to Another Colorful Year
http://kelceyjomckinley.blogspot.com/2013/01/off-to-another-colorful-year.html
Willing to take punches. Monday, January 14, 2013. Off to Another Colorful Year. Thanks to chilling temperatures, my wife and I are going on day three without water. While I'm grateful to have electricity, I'm over the empty faucets. And they'll likely remain empty until Wednesday. Apparently, 2013 wants to see me cry. The dishes, shoved in a cloth bag, came to work with me so they can be washed. Co-workers are kind not to ask what the cookie sheet is for. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Off to Anoth...

Whack-A-Muse: July 2015
http://kelceyjomckinley.blogspot.com/2015_07_01_archive.html
Willing to take punches. Monday, July 13, 2015. For those of you looking for ways to erase porn off your PC, this post isn't for you. But since you're here, fucking Google it. And good luck. Now, for those of you looking for the thick-slab meaty meaning of PC makeover, allow me to stop you at the baked potato. It's not as exciting as eating. Why does Politically Correct sound like decorating your cotillion with floor to wall uppity white people? From all of us PCers, Empathy, I'm sorry. We're doing w...
