Baroni Not Dead, He’s Just Moved To a Tennis-ball Farm

Oct 3rd, 2008 | By Pates Baroni | Category: Unhealthy Living

I am doomed. Trapped in the “making a comeback” genre. I’ve boxed myself in with lack of material and inattentiveness to the needs of the website. Now, rather than going for international appeal with a riveting analysis of the economic meltdown or staying close to home with a local piece about the mother daughter prostitution ring in … [continue]



Nihilist Weekend Review: The Ineffable Fatness of Being

The message in this film is anything but Christian, so this can be fun for the whole family.

For if it’s true that nothing matters, why … [continue]

This morning I awoke to fluffy white clouds dotting an otherwise pristine blue sky. Thinking of all the day had to offer, I turned over and promptly fell back to sleep. An hour or so later I awoke and begrudgingly shed my cocoon.

My refrigerator, normally stocked to capacity with fresh fruits and veggies, was barren. I knew … [continue]



Obama’s URL: “Fight the Smears”

Jun 28th, 2008 | By Pates Baroni | Category: Political Pinions

Amidst the heat of any campaign, unpleasant rumors will circulate. Sometimes the gossip is founded in truth, but often the claims are spurious. This is the nature of battle for public office. It takes thick skin and perseverance to run the gauntlet of public scrutiny. We have all had our moments in the spotlight, gunning for some position of power. … [continue]



Blogger No One Missed, Released

Jun 15th, 2008 | By Pates Baroni | Category: Unhealthy Living

“Darkness is a godsend” I scratched into the wall of my 8 by 10 cell. One less sense I had to blot out to feel human. I could only hope it would help the next victim of that place on his or her decent into the hell that is Guantanamo Bay Detention Center. This morning the flourescent lights flickered on … [continue]

Hey, You Over There; Yes, You With the Face. You’re Taking Up Too Much Space

Apr 26th, 2008 | By Pates Baroni | Category: Unhealthy Living

A while back I wrote a rather long piece focusing on the ills of our society and my mediocre-minded methods to change them. These were paired down into three separate articles, two of which were posted. The third remained locked in a dank cellar subsisting on the literary refuse of other writers. That is until today when, under duress, the … [continue]



Panic Attacks: and now I’m wet

Apr 9th, 2008 | By Pates Baroni | Category: Unhealthy Living

I always thought that panic attacks were for highly medicated socialite housewives in need of medical jargon to explain the 3am dish breaking cacophony to snoopy neighbors after pulling a size two garter-belt from the dryer. But I was wrong. I too am among the unfounded fearful. Panic grips me every time I fly. With white knuckles … [continue]
