My Favorite Show’s Not On

By Lorraine Le Blanc, Special to The Brutal Times – When I come home from work I fix myself and my husband Marcus a delicious meal from online recipes I download straight into my range.

It’s a hell of a job and by the time I’m done I’m drenched in rank sweat and there’s sauce pretty much everywhere, even up my nose once in January with that chicken ala king.

Ola! Cuba Is Mucho Zesty!

By Brad Bremner, (Special to the Brutal Times) Cuba, VERADERO –

Someone just fucking shoot me. Seriously, I got wasted on mojitos* and passed out in the sun. (* Cuban beverage containing vitamin A, B12, and powerful intoxicants and properties to enlarge feet and buttocks).

Now I’m lying here basted in fifty dollar sunburn lotion by the bar and I’m just going to stay pissed until either I fuckin’ die or the nightmare ends. They really should warn you about those goddamned minty drinks, don’t you think?

This Heat is Killing Me!

By Todd U. Janeway (Special to the Brutal Times) – Oh God! Oh Gawwwwwwwwwd! This heat is killing me! I mean, don’t get me wrong – I like to think of myself as a “summer person” by nature. I like […]

I Don’t Like Rainy Days

By Lorna (Special to The Brutal Times)- I don’t like rainy days. I dunno, I guess it’s just because it requires that little extra effort and I’m so tucked out after giving the kids a bath the previous night and […]

I’m So Bad At Cooking!

By Michelle McDougal (Special to The Brutal Times) – This is the third time this week I’ve burnt dinner. I don’t know what is wrong with me! Why can’t I make a good meal, like my cousin Janice? Janice has […]

Where Does The Time Go?

By Ken Falls, (Special to The Brutal Times) – It was just yesterday when I was a young man, throwing the ball around and dreaming about going to college where maybe I could meet some nice girl. Now it’s, wow, […]
