Tyson v. Jake Paul v. Nostalgia
Lots of people called Friday night’s Tyson v. Jake Paul boxing match a disaster. A sham. A scam. A debacle. They’re yelling it was fixed and that it was a complete waste of time. I loved every minute of it. I loved the hype… Continue Reading “Tyson v. Jake Paul v. Nostalgia”
The Top-10 Songs of All (My) Time, Part 2
Here’s the only song on my Top-10 list that I’m embarrassed about. But …it’s on my Top-10. Emphasis “my”. I can’t help it. This song gets me energized. It’s “Der Komissar” by After the Fire. Quite different than the majority of the songs on… Continue Reading “The Top-10 Songs of All (My) Time, Part 2”
The Top-10 Songs of All (My) Time, Part 1
Recently, Apple Music and Rolling Stone published their list of greatest-albums-of-all-time lists. I love lists like this. Sometimes these lists remind me of albums I’ve never listened to or other albums I haven’t listened to in a while. These lists are mostly click bait.… Continue Reading “The Top-10 Songs of All (My) Time, Part 1”
The Donnie Jalapeno Kitchen is Open for the Season

Stuff I Want, New and Improved for 2024

How Not to Look Like a Ragamuffin (Do Laundry Correctly)
My Mom, when seeing what my siblings and I were wearing or how we looked, was very focused that we not leave the house, “looking like a ragamuffin.” rag·a·muf·fin (/ˈraɡəˌməfən/), noun; 1. a person, typically a child, in ragged, dirty clothes. She’d say, “I… Continue Reading “How Not to Look Like a Ragamuffin (Do Laundry Correctly)”
Gonna Get my Podcast Life In Order
There’s too many Podcasts. I love Podcasts and I want my Podcast library to be like a 1970s “book library” that someone might’ve had in their home. That respectable 70s (or 80s) “book library” would’ve had a full Encyclopedia set, quite a few Stephen… Continue Reading “Gonna Get my Podcast Life In Order”
Don’t be Boring
Don’t be boring. Be fun. Be interesting. Stand out in a crowd. Show your individualism. Some might say, “don’t try so hard,” but I say, “why not?” We all have such a short time here, why would any of us mail-it-in? The older I… Continue Reading “Don’t be Boring”
Lawn Stuff: Don Doesn’t Rake Leaves
I don’t rake leaves. I don’t bag leaves. I mulch them. Religiously. I mow them right into the lawn. I don’t bag my grass clippings in the spring. The summer. Or in autumn. All these mulched grass clippings and leaves make incredible soil for… Continue Reading “Lawn Stuff: Don Doesn’t Rake Leaves”
