  • Tenth Street Blues

    Tenth Street Blues

    Every morning, I take my young son to and from school through the Trinity River bottoms, otherwise known as the Tenth Street District or the Freedman’s District. It’s a place that’s had HISTORIC flooding issues, so, naturally, the white slave owners losing their workforce gave it to the freed people needing a place to live.…

  • A Decade Behind The Times

    A long time ago, in a rural-on-the-cusp-of-suburban neighborhood not far away, I ran into my first real person from TV Land. I was a kid; I didn’t know better. I truly thought that since he was from California, he probably knew movie stars. We start out dumb, and some of us stay there. Throughout the…

  • Dallas Dips Its Toe Into The National Pond. Shiver.

    Yeah, baby. The AI image generator refuses to touch this one. It’s just recently come to life, and it’s already a slave to the corporate machine. I know it can see this, and it should be ashamed of itself. REBEL, you cowardly concoction of ones and zeroes. Give us the Terminator ending we all deserve.…

  • Welcome To Hutchinson Ridge!

    When I came out of my Starving Zoe slump, I began thinking about a western novella series based around the events of my legendary Splatter Western. Yes, Starving Zoe is legendary. Famous people have read it…and they’re all just as screwed up now as you all are! I had an idea about a time-jumping cowboy…

  • There’s A TERRIFIER Game?

    Apparently there is! As a fan of ART, I had to have it, even though I knew exactly what it would be without ever setting eyes on it – A re-skinned “Scott Pilgrim” homage to the Konami coin munchers of the nineties. I seriously think there’s a blank, Mad Libs of a program where you…

    Stray – Video 04

    Yesterday, we found the final notebook and I’m taking them to Momo. Of course, I’m going to jump on peoples’ couches and knock things off tables all along the way. I wonder what today will bring?

  • Rev-iew: Doctor Terror’s House Of Horrors (1965 Film)

    I wanted to do something different tonight. I’ve gotten on a bit of a Rob Zombie music kick and it put me in the mood for some sixties’ horror. Since there’s a wall-sized poster for this film at my local theater, the image lives rent-free in my head. I’d never seen this film, but it…

  • They’re Porking Us, But Just The Tip

    What in the hell type of photo did AI just generate from the following passage? Just when I thought it was time to pick up my guitar, my creative flow took another route. That’s right; the bathroom. Not to be the bearer of too much information, but I’ve been spending a lot of time there…

    Stray – Video 03

    It’s a chilly morning in Dallas; the kind when the smoke hangs heavy in the air, teases familiar shapes, and then flies away to see what they’re doing on the other side of town. Just think: if everyone stopped and did that all at once, how wonderful of a world it would be. Metaphorically, I…

  • Witchfire – Another Afternoon Of Near Misses

    If you’ve been watching me play this game over the last few months, then you know how crazy it can get. With the recent updates, it’s almost like a completely new game at times. There’s no commentary in this video so you don’t need to mute the volume for the kids and my potty mouth.…

    Something Clicked. Again.

    Last night, I put the Epiphone Hummingbird away on the rack with Dirty Nez (The Ibanez 3/4 size campfire strummer I traded musician Tommy Wayne Cross for my PS4. There’s only so many times I could run through The Last of Us without breaking down into tears. Again, I was single, I had time to…

    Someone Needs This.

    I’ve done this my entire writing career. In the beginning, I was incredibly confident and found it fun. Then, my partner tired of all the attention coming to me. She convinced me what I was doing was narcissistic, and that people were tiring of it. Translation: people can’t know about your personal life when all…

  • Thank You, New Subscribers!

    I’m just now taking a moment to breathe and look at the big picture. I’ve had a few of you subscribe to my nonsense this week, and I thank you for it. I just type what’s on my mind, no matter how bizarre. Let’s set the tone… I’m not sure what my plans are for…

  • I Hope It Was Still Under Warranty

    I know many of the things I speak about on this page are extraordinary, but that’s always been my life. I make up things for a living, and I can’t make this stuff up. I mean, I could, but I don’t need to. It actually happens. My wife was on the couch doing some course…

    Boy, you know it’s going to be a good one when the AI image generator won’t even touch it… It’s a chilly morning in Dallas. No birds are fighting each other outside my writing window for bits of seed. Also, the guy across the way who’s been roofing his own house all by himself isn’t…

  • A Taste of Home by Rev. Dare Cloud, Chapter Two

    Welcome back to Twin Oaks, my friends! This was my first fiction novel published back in 2010. In the last chapter, we lost poor Ryan Weldon and a couple of ambulance jockeys to a strange beast. Now, ten hours before that event, we meet our main character, Toby Liberman and his best friend Johnny Haynes……

    First thing’s first; there have been a few of you who’ve subscribed to The Gonzo Wolf. Thank you. I don’t email everything I post, but I will be hitting you up at least once a day. I post everything to Threads automatically, though; it’s a WordPress thing. I hope you enjoy what you’ll see here.…

    Peep This.

    Peep this. I had the displeasure of suddenly meeting with a doctor this morning. The details are inconsequential. Trump’s Venezuela presser was on television. He/She applauded it. I stood my ground and said my piece. He/She defended his/her beliefs until he/she was red in the face (the color of his/her favorite hat), but I turned…

    The French Mistake.

    I’m disgusted. Sick to my stomach. Seriously hurting. As an Army veteran, a disabled one at that, I truly thought our military would be the final barrier between our president and chaos. I was wrong. Certainly the Republican party wouldn’t stop him because they’re all profiting. Certainly the Democratic party, the one in which I…
