Guestblog: I want Icewater

His site I want Ice water is filled with all things weird and wonderful insights both into his own life and the world in general. But he has such a fantastic humour which lifts his blog to newer and higher realms. I’m never disappointed travelling to his world.

In their own words:

My friends call me Mak. I’m a disabled Electronics Engineering Technician, Technical Writer, and Air Force veteran. In case my photo doesn’t make it clear, I come from a mixed heritage that includes Black, White and Native American. And trust me, my heritage – not to mention my appearance, has most definitely had an impact on my life.

I absolutely DO NOT claim to be an expert at or on anything. While I have spent my entire life watching, listening and reading in an effort to understand myself, other people, and the world we live in, I hope I’ll never be warped enough to claim that I have all the answers. And I have faith that no one else will make such a mistake either. It’s like that old joke about the ex-spurt: “Sonny, back when I was just a spurt like you…” I pray that I never come across as such an old fool. Read more…

btw, realised after I published this one that of course it mentions his photo on the blog, not the one that I put in there of his avatar (he doesn’t look like that at all… )

Women Who Kick Ass! I don’t know if it’s some kind of unconscious seeking of a mythological super-mom, or just a strong desire to see women finally stand and fight back against all the abuse that’s been dumped on them through the ages, but I have this absolute fascination with depictions of strong women – especially when they’re kicking some serious ass!

Black On The Right Side I was made painfully aware of how dangerous racism can be when I was just a boy. I was also made aware of how silly, sick, and pointless it is by the efforts of people like these. Read more…	The Almost NSFW Saturday Read more…

As I said in my last post, my original plan for today was to purge the inner darkness feeding off the lunacy of our situation in the Middle East. So, are you wondering what I had in mind? Well, to be honest, I never did come up with words to sufficiently describe the emotional cacophony echoing in my mind, but here are the videos and graphics I gathered, along with a “musical” final thought.

The Thread To… OMG!!!!! I have a knack for following the smallest thread until I find my way to the chewy, gooey, “psycho-nougat” at the end of the lunatic trail! And such was the case this morning, when I “innocently” followed this link from my Inbox: Erotica from 1907 « diary of a cheating whore Which just happened to contain this link: 5 Ridiculous Sex Myths From History (You Probably Believe) | Cracked.com Which just happened to contain this link: Read more…	And What About Peter? This article is inspired by Ayn Rand’s Atlas Shrugged and my belief that there’s a certain poetic justice to our current state of affairs. It’s my first attempt at poetry. Please be kind. And What About Peter? In a world where it’s commonplace to rob Peter to pay Paul. Does anybody ever wonder what Peter thinks of it all? Does he accept that it’s okay to bear the burden of our need? Or would he rather we not be the reason why he bleeds? Do you ever think of what it’d be like for you to stand in his place? To toil and slave for others with no hope for saving grace?
