They always get their (infor)MAN(ant)


The biggest news around today is the capture of the elusive James "Whitey" Bulger. He's the former big-time crime boss from Boston, MA, who has been on the lamb for about 16 years. This guy was the real deal, but I think the biggest issue with him is that he despised "rats" and dealt with them severely, yet he was the biggest rat of all. Can't wait to see how this all works out.

 If your looking to find out more about Whitey and his notorious Winter Hill Gang, I can recommend Black Mass and BOYOS, as two good novels that are well worth a read.

When The Breaks Are Beating the Boys

Man, has it been a hellaciuos stretch lately, one that has seriously challenged my undying Joie de Vivre. Yet, I have been around the block enough to know that everything passes, eventually, and so it has. No earth shattering stuff, but enough to be really fucking up my program that it was all I could do to stay up-to-date with my fav blogs, which kept me sane. Now I'm revisting them and commenting on all the great stories and info.

Adding to the insanity was that darn inspiration striking right before all hell broke loose, and feeling the need / compulsion to finish a couple of stories I had started, and having to come up with something for The Fab Feb Film Fest. I really am my own worst enemy sometimes. I'm reading "Black Mass" and watched "In The Name of The Father". Both excellent by the way.

On thing that is really bumming me out is I can't comment on Paul Brazill's blog because Internet Explorer seems to crash my browser every time I try. My laptop is the one I use for work as well and non IE browsers are a big no-no. So Mr. B, I'm still enjoying your blog as usual but...I'm with you in spirit man!
