Some are saying they’re selling their U2 CDs. Others are threatening to take down their websites, cancelling book-writing projects etc. U2Literary.com will stay up as long as life is mine to use on it. I’m not mad at U2. I don’t hate them. I’m not angry at them. While I feel many of these other [...]
These were the searches people conducted to end up on this website. Interesting. I’m glad to see what’s bugging me is bugging you:
5: u2 avatars
2: two times
2: ticketmaster corrupt practices
1: how did u2 tickets sell so fast

I posted this in response to what I felt was a calling out on U2PhillyFans on Bono and the Africa issue. I wanted to say something about how it isn’t about Africa at all that I have the problem with, it’s the time away. I posted it and immediately strange, knee-jerk, not terribly sophisticated reactions [...]
That’s what I feel like right now, just some stinking carrion. I managed to get two bad, expensive tickets for the add on May 22nd show here in town. But forget about going with someone. One seat’s in the 100 section (happy with that) and the other’s in the 200 section. So if I go [...]
What’s wrong with the above sentence? If it’s written correctly, then there should be a blank after the last word because the question would be referring to something belonging to an apostrophe (a punctuation mark here personified). But if the apostrophe in the sentence were removed, that changes the meaning of the question entirely. Without [...]
This is why I hate Bono’s involvement with the African issues. Doubtless people have wondered what my problem is that I could dare say that, though no one has actually said anything of the kind to me. But I’m aware of the way it sounds so I’m here to explain.
I have no problem with the [...]
I feel like I’ve just stabbed him through the back, just sneaked up on him in broad daylight and sunk a huge knife in all the way to the hilt. I hope I don’t sound like a victim or anything in that essay I wrote and aimlessly called “The Great Ticket Scandal ‘05″. But I [...]
I e-mailed my local paper a letter on the quality of a major city walkway. It’s always snowy throughout the winter and no one ever does a damn thing about it, even if the many peds who use it are forced to walk on a foot of ice. I don’t see the point in peds [...]
Why do I waste print on these people? Oh, wait. This is webspace and there’s room for everything, even spam.
But as I was deleting reams of crap today, I wondered. Why? Do they actually think someone will click through? Why would you click through something that has things so misspelled not even a 2-year-old would [...]
It’s sunny today but freezing. I ate a nectarine and it reminded me of warm breezes and the open air, the open air when it isn’t so hostile. It’s so cold now and I can’t even go out and buy breakfast food for the coming work week. And I hope this touch of a cold [...]

Snow Day , originally uploaded by desertrose.
And now another one. I can’t see the nearby high rises anymore. Actually, this is kind of cool. I know I’d be singing a different [...]
On site now from Philadelphia. It’s snowing. Big whoop. It used to snow feet and feet of the white stuff where I spent my tender years. And here, it suddenly becomes an Event. But this time, I’m kind of buying into it, though I still didn’t go out and buy 9 loaves of bread and [...]
