Posted on November 27, 2015 by Ron Giesecke

Finally, after years of endless, prevaricating smack-talk, I’ve logged my one-man spectacle. Small venue, and already half sold.

PLEASE–let me be like this guy when I am old.

Posted on November 12, 2015 by Ron Giesecke

I submit for inspection, the following picture:    I could not have had a greater moment of catharsis when I saw this. I literally told myself I was within speaking distance of a demi-god. This monstrosity was parked in front … Continue reading →

“Back to the Future,” and the one thing it TRULY DID get right

Posted on October 28, 2015 by Ron Giesecke

The October 21st, 2015 rubicon crossed by Marty McFly and company was almost completely muted by the faked, gaffed, and photoshopped “pre-hoaxes” that routinely swept FaceBook over the years. When the day finally arrived, I figured something was up, based … Continue reading →

With Apologies To Dickens

Posted on October 16, 2015 by Ron Giesecke

In 2002, I published what is to date, my only book.  Don’t get excited, I didn’t get all hyfie in the ISBN numbering anteroom, I just self-published. I could tell you all about that 22-page manuscript, that, while not some … Continue reading →

Posted on September 20, 2015 by Ron Giesecke

By the time I reached the Yosemite Valley Floor last year, after having ascended Half Dome’s daunting summit, I walked away (actually I sort of limped away in a “paper-armed-anthropod-wearing-a-robotic-exoskeleton” sort of way) telling myself I was done with insane, … Continue reading →

I just need to remind newbies

Posted on September 19, 2015 by Ron Giesecke

That just because I’ve become a hopeless, non-productive literary derelict, does not mean I haven’t had moments of lucidity, outward mobility, and unabashed, monomaniacal creative streaks. Take this movie I made as evidence.  If you haven’t seen it, watch it. … Continue reading →

Video Blog (VLOG) Tomorrow

Posted on September 11, 2015 by Ron Giesecke

Mainly because I’ve been a hopeless derelict.  My stats are not only NOT off the hook, there’s barely a hook at all. I know.  My bad.  My bad. Blame Brazil.  They’ve got me all knotted up. 🙂 Anyway, I think … Continue reading →

Dear Mountain Dew: Would YOU PLEASE–make up your mind?

Posted on July 30, 2015 by Ron Giesecke

We’ve all got our own calibrating benchmarks. You know the ones that literally gives the final clarion call–the ones where we just KNOW God’s gonna finally pull the rip-cord on the Great Anthropological Freak Show down here. Even I thought … Continue reading →
