The image below is a 2005 TBT article I still have about the Tampa blogger scene. The big boy was Tommy Duncan. He stopped blogging around 2008, and was never seen again. Here is what Creative Loafing said about that era: "The 40-something blogger founded the most-often-cited independent Tampa Bay news blog, Sticks of Fire, in Feb. 2004, and the site, without much financial assistance from advertising, is still going strong today with a stable of more than a dozen regular contributors. In 2005, Duncan was featured in a tbt* story about the young lions of the local Internet. Today, about half of them have fallen by the wayside or (in the case of famous sexy blogger Rachel Moran) moved to New Jersey. Duncan keeps on posting. The local digital scene has grown, but he's not sure it has improved in quality."
Moved across the bay?? That is good I guess if you are happy there. Refresh my memory didn't you think when Tom, #123 drove from New Port Richey it was too far to drive. But the gas price is lower today. But heard on the news that the oil is as low as it is going to get. Larry 157
ReplyDeleteNow on the lighter side with the loss to Tom Brady couldn't happen to a nicer guy. What happened to his 5 game suspicion?? If you watched the game yesterday why didn't he ( Brady )get flagged for the numerous grounding of his passes. Could be like the deflatgate--Larry 157

ReplyDeleteYeah you are right about the Super Bowl, but don't the will destroy them. Bronco's have the #1 defense. But I really would like to see the old guy win and get the MVP. Wishful thinking you say well no one thought the Bucs would ever win the Big One either nor would they ever win 6 games in 2015. Later my friend, Larry 157
Deletewell, usually I subscribe to Reich opinions, but in this case seems like he is giving room for "shared economy" to survive and prosper in the end........
ReplyDelete.....did he sold out to uber?

Interesting piece about George the Ghostbuster....how much does he charge to chase away evil spirits?
ReplyDeleteNot my place that I want to get 'cleansed' the one right next to mine on the south side...the girl that lived there hanged herself a couple of years ago. Since all these units have basically the same floor plans(I am the dude that lives in the same complex as you) you will be familiar with that big beam over the entrance way to the kitchen area...she put a rope around it stood up in a chair and jumped off. I was home at the time and actually heard the thud...but I had no idea what it was of course. I just remember getting a very bad feeling....anyhow the body wasn't discovered until it started stinking a couple of days later...I thought the oder was from the jungle area just west of the fence where a creek runs through...thought it was a dead animal. Finally a neighbor who had not seen her in a couple of days axed Jim da maintance man to check on her...he opened the door and closed it very quickly..I was observing him...he didnt say a thing ...just went directly to the office and called the police.
Very sad case..the girls mom had died and she also had injured herself at work etc.etc. her boyfriend had dropped her and so on and so forth. A young girl she was...which makes it even worse. I didn't know her well...had only talked to her a few times...but something like that hits you hard.
Another girl moved in there...but I do not think she knows what happened and I do not want to tell her...since she is a nice girl...she might move out. But i kinda feel in a way I should tell her..I mean if it was me I would want someone to tell me...but perhaps its best not to know...I mean most people that live in condos or any kind of housing for that matter rarely knows who else has lived there or what has transpired before you moved in.
Maybe George could chase away the evil spirts from a distance like just circling around...maybe circle around this whole section and chase all the evil spirts out of this neck of the woods...kinda like a mass ghost busting, cleansing and chasing sort of thing....chase all of them outta here. I wonder if that is possible?
I think I will get some holy water and burn some herbs...could not hurt. Maybe sprinkle some on her front porch when she is not home and on her back door step....and all over my unit in case some of them came through the walls and set up shop in here...wouldnt be hard for them to do, I would think...especially since I live wid a crazy woman anyhow. hehheh
Best of luck out there on the back streets of Tampa and stay safe.
